Still for sale, This wagon will NEVER SELL at that price. TIME IS ON MY SIDE. If health forces sale, this guy probably died already. (sty cool, NJ humor)

LOL, Mike! I miss that NJ sense of humor. ...not much of that here in AZ:-( We left Howell 5+ years ago for the sunshine and warmth, but Jersey just had a warmer December than Phoenix! Go figure.

Joe, if you lived in Howell, you must of known Morris Ratner the Jeepster man, what a Character!

I didn't get to meet him, Mike. I went there when I heard about him, but the place looked pretty cleared out (or put away in that long row of barns/garages) and no-one answered the phone/door. I hadn't even gotten my first jeep then (2008 or so?). Living in Arizona and eWillys helped me solve that deficiency :-)

As far as I know, the Jeepsterman business is still in Howell, but it is run by Morris and Millie's daughter Shelley. I met Morris and Millie about 30 years ago at a Jeepster meet in Connecticut. What a couple of characters they were. They hauled a bunch of parts up there in a Chevy van that was held together by rust! Just the same in real life as they were on the phone when you called in an order! Morris bought every part available from Jeep dealers closing their doors and stored all of it in that chicken farm. He actually knew where just about everything was! May he and Millie rest in Peace( well, in their own brand of peace!)
