i have done a soup to nuts rebuild of a 63 willys jeep (18 months and a bucket of money)
a complete 1927 chevy hotrod build from the ground up (two years and way too much money)
and i swore the next vehicle i got was gonna be a turn key driver
i dont mind repair/replace upkeep
but i dont want to create any more vehicles
i figure i paid my wrenchin dues
now it turns out
i am gonna have to go get my new toy
2010 mile round trip
because of the size and weight the shipping costs are too much for me ($1900)
after fuel and trailer rental ($650) i will keep the rest of the money for other things.

i will probably just clean this up and find some matching paint (if this paint hasnt faded too much) probably do bumpers and wheels gloss black
i like cleaning and repainting the under carriage as well as the inside of the fenders.
not only does it make it look spiffy
it protects that 50 year old metal.
i know this is a ratrod site
but i dont want a molecule of rust on this bad boy

i already have a SA1911A1
and an AK47 but thats for the wrong side

M 1 carbine
I-R-POPS
''Rusty Mopar Slacker''
I think The M4 carbine {the early, select fire version of the M16} had replaced the M1 by 1965. The M16 was issued in '68-'69.
The crew definitely would have carried the 1911 45 cal. side arm.
Have you got a plan yet to get it home?
Patience my a$$!

That old chevy don't look like it needs much, couple days tinkering. But if you don't like tinkering, no old car would be the best bet because they all need lovin if you're going to drive them. For me, dragging one home and getting it running is at least half the fun.

For me there would be 2 nights in motels too. I used to drive 1000 miles straight, no more. 12 hours a day max, unless I'm almost home

Me either Billy. Once was enough. Had a guy wanting the rpu pretty bad last week, told him I would sell it but it was worth a lot more to me than it would be to anyone else.
