I'd still be lying awake at night after passing on a '41 Willys. It sounds like the CJ ought to be a blast. - Just don't take it out on any 90' inclines like I've seen guys do. What year is it?
I passed on a restored early 60's Drag master rail/chassis/ drivetrain, (freshly cage certed,bright pink panther paint, Olds rear end,) ,back in '94( Bakersfield's March Meet ,retro) .. Freshly registered /glide small block set up.. 1800 bones,had the cash in pocket.. That one, the 55' two door Two Lane Blacktop clone( stored it a decade..) ,and a '41 Willy's coupe, are the body styles,I truly cherish. I leave it ,there..
