   thats great , heres a personal willys ambulance story — I bought my 51 sedan delivery in 1970 ? , 3rd one made that year , 473-2wd – got a good deal , $150 , a bag of pot and 5 hippie vitamin tablets — later put the overdrive transmission in it — heres the ambulance story — in 1971 ? I drove it over towards the coastside on the SF peninsula with some drinking buddies to go hiking — I parked it at the end of a county road west of skyline blvd – it was near famous rocker neil youngs ranch — we went hiking on the ranch next door , turned out it was famous scientist carl djerassis ranch land , he invented birth control pills , very wealthy — a few of us happened to be carrying randall made hunting knives , I collect them , I always carry a randall when out in the woods — we got back to the sedan delivery and someone had vandalized it , took the sparkplug wires out , wouldnt start – then a truck showed up with some cowboy looking fellow , he was armed with a six gun — he told us it was private property and told us to leave — the willys was parked on a county road — I told him to give me the wires back and we would go , the situation escalated I think when he saw we had randall sheath knives — remember this was right after the charles manson and his girls incident in los angeles — when the overweight cowpuncher wouldnt give me the wires back and started driving off , we started calling him assorted four letter words — he came back and cornered one of friends up against a barb-wire fence and pistol whipped him over the head with the six gun — *** was bleeding profusely and I asked the deranged fatboy for the wires back so i could take *** to the hospital — Fatass Moose , his nickname I found out later , said he threw the wires over the side of the road , I looked and found 4 wires , enough to run three cylinders on the f-4 134 , and one for a coil wire — I took *** to the hospital over the hill , about 15 miles — they patched him up — we reported the incident to the sheriff and basically nothing happened — then we sued them in court — it turned out the birth control baron was fishing buddies with the judge and the trial was over before it started — it was an early lesson in law ? and injustice — postscript — my old buddy *** recently died of a heart attack in cozumel , mexico , on a family scuba diving trip , I really wonder if it was because of the fast life style he was still living ? I heard he was in mexico a lot , had a friend with a new pc-12 pilatus turbo-prop , the pilot had a mansion in cabo san lucas , on and on — I cleaned up my act , I dont think he did .. RIP old friend …
