UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
(07/27/2016) “Good looking and great running 1947 Willys Jeep. Original engine professionally rebuilt in 2011 has less than 100 miles on it. Metal is all orignal as far as I know and all gauges work properly. Selling due to health problems. List price is below NADA average retail price. E-mail only and I will contact you.”
Painted right over the back bumper, gauges, knobs, too. I think that paint is hiding some bad stuff.
I’m betting the carpet in the front and parquet flooring (or whatever it is) in the rear is hiding some very bad stuff too.
For that kind of money you should at least get some ceramic tile in the bed area , should hold up better in the weather !!!!
I just looked up the NADA price on this just to be sure we were talking the same vehicle. Im tickled the price range is what it shows, but does anyone ever pay that much for one, even at the low end? (I might have to pay the former owner of our 2A some more so I can sleep at nite knowing I didnt cheat anyone).
Lew .. I doubt anyone does. More to the point, I can not think of any sound data upon which the NADA is based (in the case of jeeps that is).
According to NADA: The data sources used to determine the used car values are actual auction and retail sales transactions, asking price information, as well as numerous macro- and micro-economic factors. These sources are reviewed by our editors every month. http://www.nadaguides.com/FAQ/values-and-pricing#q57
Well, I’m calling bullshit on that. Jeep prices reviewed everyone month? I’d argue that the largest historical database of *reasonable* vintage jeep asking prices in the world are on eWillys. There are higher priced jeeps on some other sites that could potential skew NADA prices upward (if they are even reported to NADA), but they are so ridiculous that I don’t include them.
