I bought my first, a 1970, 3 on-the-tree, with an angry 170 cubes under the hood in 1987. $1200 or so. 32 inch no name tires, one door a different color than the other, and a love affair began. Those teenage years of top off, wind in the hair, sand-wheeling, girl-chasing were exquisite. I've had Jeeps, driven Scout IIs, enjoyed them all, but those EBs, "unsafe at any speed," will always be in my heart, and my garage, values be damned.
