This is Micheal's 56 Jeep Willies! I believe he has some good memories with this Jeep! Mike & Michael found this Jeep on the way to our cabin. It wasn't for sale. When Mike got home He kept saying "I should of stopped and asked if they wanted to sell it!" Well he asked the next day and they said they were just thinking about it and they would sale! He hadn't had it for very long when him & a friend drove it through the city park. When a friend said "Don't forget about the dip!" Michael said he knew but he must of forgot how deep it was (He said he was driving the speed limit, Whatever!) He flew up and slammed down and cut his break line. It was late at night so he went straight on a one way. He was afraid if he turned he would roll it! (Still says he was going the speed limit, WHATEVER!) it jumped a 18inch curb went up on a hill and came to a rest (with 3 flat tires!) Of course Mike was gone, so me and Ashley went down about the time the cops came because the tow truck driver called! Luckily he had a girl cop and she made him promise he would never do it again! Told him what tickets she could of wrote him and sent him on his way! We found a receipt for cans of spray paint in glove box so we knew what color his paint job was! When he was in High School He spray painted it his HS colors. They grilled off it and had a hammock Hanging off it! He had it painted then listed it on Craigs list. He decided to sell it because it was just to expensive to drive with the price of gas!He sold it to a guy in Lincoln Ne. Who said hes always wanted one since he saw one in Sioux Falls SD. ( Our old stomping grounds) He even went to the same HS as Mike! He said he will keep us informed about the restoration! I have to admit I had tears when I saw it drive away!
