That's alot of jeeps!

[Brett]

Holy crap Josh, that's some collection! Awesome. How often do the Jeeps get driven? What would one of those be worth now?

[B4TT]

3 of them have not left the yard since full resto, one has lapped around the block once and the other gets driven from time to time.

Jeeps are probably worth about $30K each I guess (except for the slat grille one which is worth more because it is rare), can get some cheaper but are not completely original, Pop actually got the paint formula from the US army to ensure that these were painted correctly.

Think this is the rear of the slatgrille one, the others are Fords.

The one that he used to drive fairly regularly on the beach and stuff is currently stripped down and about to get restod, I think he has about 3 or 4 bodies (and more than enough parts several times over) left that are possible future projects.

Sweet as bro. Shame they don't get out much!

[B4TT]

It is but at the same time it isn't... keeps them in good order body wise... they just need to be started a little more often, next time I come up I said that I would drive them all around the block a few times.

haha our under-construction Nitrocar track, complete with jumps was still a little bit rough for my poor car but it is still under constructions. (can only see about half in that shot if that, we have this wheel out scaffolding tower thing that you place next to the track to see it all)

[Adam]

Haha that's awesome Josh

[AussieTemplar]

Cool thing that I can relate to in those pictures Josh, is my brother in law is actually restoring one of those XB, and putting a 351 Cleveland stroker in it -> making it a 408 essentially, . I'm positive it's going bigger then that but I know atleast its a 408. And he's also just got his hand on some 1933 year model Ford that he is also restoring. Looks like one of these, as I don't think its a Model T.

[B4TT]

Cool stuff!!! Would be an awesome resto project! I really really really want a project car, just need somewhere to do it!

[Adam]

Buy a mini off me Josh

I have leads for a genuine Mini Ute, and an ex police cooper s I am considering chasing!

[B4TT]

[Adam]

Cash helps!

Got me some mythbusters, and 1.8kg of jelly bellys!
