“runs and drives like new”

post war food rationing had an unexpected benefit for German car kakers!

It’s actually spray on mud for effect. 

You could do most of the mating camper to Gladiator without a Sawzall!

The first Gladiator I laid eyes on in person was $62K. Absolutely berserk. Half of that seems a bit more reasonable.

Like the old CJ8, the Scrambler. 

I’m as big a Landy fan as you’ll find and this is soooooooo CP I can’t even believe it.

pretty much just touching it will trigger the “neutral” , you don’t have to push or wiggle or whatever.
