   Pretty aggressive price. It might be worth it to a collector...too nice and low miles to drive. We see that with collector cars, people paying a hefty premium for no /low mile cars. They become garage queens because every mile driven decreases its value...plus here we have the original tires which are problematic. Even putting on safe tires to drive will devalue it. The world seems to have plenty of collectors of late model exotics who are willing to pay a huge premium to have an unused car. You can't even call them the "world's best..." since one 10 mile car is as good as another 10 mile Ferrari, McLaren F1 or 2006 Ford GT. But is there a Jeep collector out there willing to pay a fairly large premium for an unused CJ-3B? Jeep guys are pragmatic. They want stuff to use as the guys in Toledo intended. A new MB in a crate that someone lost in a warehouse might temp a Jeep fan, but a 3B?

   The lack of interior shots makes me suspicious (and the green lug nuts, per Bill's comment, doesn't help my confidence in this jeep's originality).

   You mean they didn't come with matching color coded lugnuts? I think they're an option on Porsches... :) Fun trivia, Porsche offers optional titanium lug bolts & nuts for $1800...you save 2.2 lbs. They also say titanium is stronger and resists damage better.
