Mine was a 1953 Willys Jeep, I bought it when I was 13.
You could side step the clutch at idle and not kill it, great vehicle to learn to drive a manual in. Never drove it on the street though, nor my Willys wagon I bought when I was 14. It had a Flathead V8 transplanted in it.
Sold them both and bought my 1977 Dodge Truck when I was 15. Drove this for my driver's test and the first couple of years of legal street driving.
In the back yard before I could legally drive it
What it looked like most of the rest of the time...
It was a pig, had a 400 with a 2 barrel carb...couldn't get out of it's own way. Weren't the 70s great.
