This is an estate sale. Looks like it was well-loved.

“This is titled as a 1944 Willy’s Jeep that presents well as a WW2 era Jeep and runs and drives as it should. The body is a reproduction and there are reproduction and later Willys era parts but it is still a very correct looking, rust free example and is in amazing condition and ready to enjoy. It has had a very long term elderly owner, kept in temperature controlled storage and being sold to settle an estate. Also included are WW2 accessories including helmets, a 2 way radio, gas mask and more. This Jeep is about as nice as you will find. More photos are available upon request. $18,500 buys it. If listed, the Jeep is still available. Located in Waukesha, Wisconsin.”
Look at the modified driver side seat cushions so that someone could fit behind the wheel. lol Guess that’s better than cutting out the wheel well.
I’ll give the seller a lot of credit for mentioning the repro tub up front and the “…and there are reproduction and later Willys era parts but it is still a very correct looking…” notice.
I have never seen a seller acknowledge the fact that many correct looking Jeeps have reproduction/CJ/imported parts in them and are far from 100% factory correct. If I were paying top dollar for a MVPA-show quality Jeep, I’d want to inspect it in person…and bring along a copy of the new GPW authenticity guide…or buy it from a source I trust.
But for 95% of people who just want a WWII Jeep for fun and parades, something like this is certainly good enough.
Clever idea on thin seat cushion.
Probably just comfortable enough to suffice for the local July 4th parade.
