I would have loved to find this box under my christmas tree.

WWII Jeep 'found in crate' set to cross Greenwich auction block - Autoblog

 

I'm a little sceptical but that would be a great find.

 

That pretty sweet, thought I would share a couple. My neighbor stopped by with his '43 his grandfather bought new and has been in his family ever since.

 

He needs to put some 35s on that.

 

And you gotta love the parking brake! Very cool ride there. I would love one.

 

I read that article yesterday -- cool stuff.

I, too, am skeptical about the "originality" of the one that was found 30 years ago in a crate. Without a paper trail, or some documentation of the find, it's a tough sell at "found it in a crate" -pricing. Looks like a cool example nonetheless.

If anyone is into Camaros, a few years back an original '85 Iroc was discovered in a shipping container. I think it had something like 5 (five) original miles and hadn't been PDI'd by a dealer yet. Everthing was still covered in plastic, and except for being a 25 year old car, it was brand new. Internet forums were ablaze with the find, and the owner took a video of it being taken out of the container and it being discovered for the first time in decades. Cool stuff...it's still out there on Youtube I think.

 

Now that is an awsome "hand me down"!!!
