Hey Cool
Not sure if that's the same story though.
I seem to recall it was 2 books.
The first one was at the grandparents finding the barn with the old jeep
in it, Then fixing it up and driving it around a couple of times
then he went back home at the end of summer.
The next book was when he went back the next year and the jeep
was still there except the owner showed up and was about to auction
everything. where he tried to raise money to buy it. I distinctly
remember the anxiety when he almost didn't get it at the auction.
Does this ring any bells in "The year of the Jeep"
