This looks like a very original, unmolested Willys, may be a good deal, even at 6K.

If i didnt just buy a real nice mb i would be all over this one.

Needs more pics to determine originality. Right off, the steering wheel, speedo and rims are incorrect. Still has front bumper gussetts, grill looks good and has the early 'square' gas tank sump.

I contacted the guy to find out some more details. It has a CJ engine block but WWII head, and he claims it runs but has never driven it.

This looks like a scam to me.

The time is not right for me, but I'd like to have a slat grille someday

"posting deleted by author", possibly sold again! This may be legit, may have been more work needed than previously thought.

The guy who bought it posted on G503 and said the body was in poor condition, much worse than he thought.

I tried to contact the seller but could not connect. Looking at the photos on G503, glad I missed it.

I bought the slat not for the original selling price. I did yes have buyers remorse and listed it for sale agian. But have decided to restore it as the original seller has found the original data tags wheels and other tidbits in talking to him. Body is rough but is very worth saving. Original dod is 28 nov 1941 and serial is 101173

Thanks for the update Dan. You wouldn't be the first person to purchase a jeep and then realize it wasn't quite what you thought it was. I think that's how many folks learn :-)
