    1. I've always thought a man could make a fortune if he built a replica model. I think for a while, there was an Indian company that actually did (they may still be). They weren't able to be made street legal though. I guess you might slip on through on a low-speed license like some counties do for 4-wheelers (Mules and the like).

      I used to use one of these early CJ3 for hunting years ago, it had the game box on the back that extended the bed by another 3 ft or so, so you could fit the deer in without too much hanging out. Double-clutching heaven.

    2. Check out "Roxor". They just opened a factory in Michigan and it's exactly what you're looking for.

  3. When I issued titles and license plates i had to look up the MSRP on a 1942 Willy's Ford Model it was 421.00 which I thought was cool.
