  1. My 67 year old neighbor has had Jeeps his whole life. Says the Buick V-6 had the most useful power to weight ratio.
    I could get by just fine with the pictured unit.

  2. I.ve had many Jeeps from military M-38's 1952 to CJ-5's with the Buick V-6.
    The Buick V'6 was a big step up, and it had a heater/defroster, what a luxury.

  3. Want! I could drive that for maybe 25-30 days a year given the weather up here.

  4. It needs a roll bar. We had a Jeep on the farm and I laid it on it's side a couple of times. All were making a tight right turn in first gear.

  5. Knew a guy who, with his son, created a CJ5 pinewood derby entry, down to the spare tire and a jerry can hanging on the back. It was a thing of beauty. They didn't win.
