UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Empire Tractors were built from parts that are also used by Willys, such as the transfercase (spicer 18), transmission (t-90), differential (spicer 25) and more. You can learn more about the specs for these tractors here. Note that the seller claims these were built out of surplus WWII jeeps, however the t-90 was a CJ-2A tranny, so it seems more likely to me that they shared parts with the CJ-2A rather than built from the MB.

The seller has either the model or the year wrong on this jeep.
This is a pretty high price for a project that still needs the engine rebuilt (among other things done). I’m kind of wondering what part of this is rack n’ pinion.
The grille and other parts might be older, but the body looks like it is newer. Note the tailgate in the rear and the gas inlet on the driver’s side, suggesting this is more likely a CJ-2A body or later.
Happy New Year everyone (at least somewhere it’s the New Year). New Year’s day marks the official one year anniversary of eWillys.

I suspect these are more likely MB than GPW parts, but the seller doesn’t indicate which.
There’s work to do to restore this custom tow truck, but I thought it had some good character. The starting bid is $2000, but I think that’s a bit much considering the engine is frozen and there’s other work to be done.
