COMSUBBBS Posts: 3669 Location: Kansas City Missouri	Subject: NTINS Finally Arrived 44 Years Later March 1973, drinking a Heineken on the Sub Barge in Guantanamo, Cuba. Driver of a officer visiting the boats CO flops down next to me and tells an incredible story. WWII ends and the Gov has boatloads of jeeps to get rid of.... long story short.... after the driver keeps buying beers, a number of us give this guy $100 and he writes down our mailing addresses. Never expected to hear from that crook again till yesterday morning when there was a knock on my door.....   (ww2 jeep.jpg) Attachments ---------------- ww2 jeep.jpg (152KB - 524 downloads)

When Mom found out how dangerous they were supposed to be, we had to sell it. It came out of North Carolina, in the box. I like to think it is still crawling around the Adirondacks looking to haul deer out of the woods.

Didn't look like that one in the crate, just a box with the parts in the back of the Jeep which didn't have the wheels mounted, only rims.
