Yeah, I need more driveway. Another M-715 has found space in my fleet.

New to me '67

I've been staying off of Craigslist and out of the Autotrader just so I don't bring home any more projects. The goal is to finish projects, not get more. So, last week I get an email from one of the guys at work, half-jokingly saying that he knows one of us JP guys would buy this. Yep, he was right. Sure, its ugly, but for 200 bucks, how can you go wrong? Its an M-715, all the hard to come by military stuff is there, and its got a motor, trans, and t-case. I paid 900 for mine all those years ago, with no motor, and I still had more sheetmetal replacement to do than this one is going to need.

2. New article series: Flip my Jeep. Start with a cheap Jeep, get it running, and sell it for a profit. Maybe a competition amongst the editors...

3. Nah, it's waay more fun watching Pete bring home more projects than he can handle. I've been staying out of it, but I think just for the comedic value I'll e-mail him the links to that $400 complete flattie that runs and drives but doesn't have a title and the Jeepster with the swapped-in Buick 350 for $700 that just needs brakes and a windshield.

4. If you need to get rid of Red for a while, you can park it at my house.

5. I've got an extra MB in the backyard if he still wants more!

6. Jeebus, you guys are killing me.

Christian, FTLOG, please don't email me any flattie anything. I don't need more Jeeps. Worse part is, the neighbor where all the Jeepster wrenching is happening has told me I can keep Jeeps in his side yard too. It'll fit about 8 of em.

John- Red is the anchor for this thing right now... lol. You've been to my place. The house across the street has a 250 gallon propane tank inline with my 15-degree incline driveway with the 3 manual-trans Jeeps on it

Willy... MB?!?!!??!?!? No! dammit. No flatfender for me! Even though I could park it in one of the 715s and not take up anymore space... hmmm....

8. Yep.

Did you see the 8 Jeeps in the yard down the street comment??!?!?!? lol.

Actually my buddy is going to build the new 715 with a 7.4L V-8 powerstroke drivetrain. So its not really mine, just temporarily taking up space
