    And you should have seen it sloshing and foaming in there....it looked like one of those old glass topped coffee percolators.. come to think of it, it kinda sounded like one too..

    I did not buy it...It's a pretty good jeep. Well used but no apparent rust except for one spot I saw in the passenger floor. Lots of mods, but nothing that can't be undone if you would like it to be original....

    A little overpriced! I would be interested at about $3500...

    That is where the headless horseman sits.

    Or Nearly Headless Nick, who can tilt his head to one side to clear those branches and other things coming past the top of the windshield.

    There is a rifle rack between the seats that will hold two rifles. I'm sure this was used to hunt varmints. You could park it, sit back there and rest your rifle on the roll cage........
