Our search is not the easiest to get what you want out of it. Plus, I've been here since day one, and remember too much crap.

In this case, "First" didn't work in search, because it is too common. So I searched for FIAT with the author as me, since I knew I'd posted in them. That did the trick.
 
Dude that Willys!
It was sweet except i could not do anything to it. It was too origional. The only thing i did was rebuild the seized engine. Found it in a barn after sitting since the 60s

Anyone remember the Bronco II? Couldn't find any pictures but bought it for $300, added a 2" lift from a Ranger, 32" (33"?) super swamper TSLs, cut the fenders and took it all over PA. Two tone blue and grey, I kinda miss it now. It was shockingly capable for as underpowered and small as it was.

Closest example I could find. Mine was not this pretty.
