UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(10/01/2015) It’s a project.
“1945 Overland Willys Jeep, 9 louver grill, no tailgate. Engine has been started in last 10 years, runs rough. Reconstructed WWII frame (welded front end from an MB jeep), Oregon VIN, Virginia Title.
Includes canvas cover and windshield (not pictured) and all you see in the photos. Most all original parts remain and are in the back of the Jeep. The black&white pic is from approx 2004 before the jeep was disassembled for this project and is included for reference only.
This was a restoration project that was started and is unfinished. At some point painted red, but the original military green paint is under it. This has been in my family since 1995.
This Jeep is not in running condition. AS-IS, WHERE IS.”

Just a couple comments: the jeep has a civilian hood with civilian barn door hinges. The black and white picture show it eguipped with a modified GI tow bumper hitch which, if included, adds to value. The Cragslist picture of the frame serial # MB209528 would be a Feb 8 1943 production MB not 1945. I found 2 serial numbers on the net MB209521 and MB209534 both with build dates of Feb 8 1943.
Thanks for the additional pointers!
