Just picked up in June 2024. I originally pulled it out of a collapsed garage in October 2023 and came back in June 2024 to purchase and transport it from Massachusetts to Pennsylvania. As my first restoration, I hope to save what I can of the original Jeep and preserve its history. The story I got from the previous owner was that it started out on a farm where the farmer would intentionally get it stuck in the fields and tell his sons to go fetch it. After several rounds of this, the sons got together and painted it with tractor paint when the father was away from the farm. Which started a cycle of different colors. The original color was a shade of green (unknown exactly which paint code). Then it became John Deere yellow, Massey Furgeson orange, and finally Rustoleum Red spray paint which became pink in some spots from years of sun exposure. Now I have it 72 years later. It was last registered and inspected in 2015 and I plan to get it back on the road as soon as I possibly can.
