Not M37 related, but, went down to BOYCE Equipment the other day and wondered around their new yard.
Along the back fence were 3 Goats. I asked as to what they are doing with the Goats, and he said, Take your pick $3,000.00.
I told them that I didn't have 3 grand, but I did have a decent M38A1 that I have bought off a fire dept. I bought the Jeep and just put it in storage and didn't even get it running. It had been painted fire engine red, but in real nice shape.
He said it was a done deal, the Goat was painted a aqua green but it started and run and was all there.
Everyone one needs a Goat like a hole in the head, but to fill out my collection, I thought I would go for it.

Sounds like a good trade Tom, just don't take it in the water, they swim as well as a Danforth anchor.

If that Detroit ain't leaking oil, you better pour some in.

I'm jealous :mrgreen: . Never owned a 'goat but hope to some day. Always thought that they were cool vehicles. If it's not too much trouble, could you post some pictures of your new toy?
