This is a pretty cool racer, especially if you like Pepsi or collect Pepsi collectibles.

I’m late night searching on ewillys and come across my VW buggy listing. Puzzled, I sit here for way too long trying to figure out how this made it onto the site. Then I remembered writing about possible Jeep trades. Thanks for the laugh!
This was your opening sentence “$10,000 or open for trades. Corvette, Mazda RX7, Willys Jeep.” … I imagine it was the “Willys Jeep” reference that caught my attention. And, it was probably a day with few listings, so I thought I’d mix it up 🙂
