Someone needs to pull that antique car dealer’s license if he appraised this at $15,000.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep – CJ 2A
Appraised by a licensed antique car dealer at $15,000. The vehicle graded out during the appraisal as follows:
BODY – Straight – well preserved
PAINT – Hand painted – Pure classic to Jeep spirit
CHROME – Good though not a lot
TIRES/WHEELS – original wheels, summer tires – very good
GLASS/TRUNK/TOP – The top is Colorado classic! Small crack in windshield
SEATS – Reupholstered original seats
INTERIOR/PANELS/CARPET – Very good original, new gas tank
UNDERCARRIAGE – Some seal seepage but they do that. Very good throughout
ENGINE COMPARTMENT – Restored, runs great
ORIGINAL/CUSTOM – Very original throughout
TOTAL POINTS AS GRADED – 90 points
Runs, drives and stops well. Odometer reads 4,908 miles, although the total miles on the Jeep are unknown, the engine has very few miles since the rebuild. Ready for the next owner to enjoy as is or perfect for restoration project. Located in Western Colorado.”
Right, ummm, ookkaayyy. Still can’t find the trunk! Maybe some kind of smoking stuff involved in this appraisal & some snacks. Astounding.
Just an extra 0 in there 😉
But it is kinda fun/cool.
