Seller has priced this jeep at an unusually high price. This reflects the fact that the jeep was given to Eisenhower by the people of Scotland. Certainly it makes this jeep an unusual historical vehicle.

    $750,000.00 why not just $1000,000.00? Ok so it’s a special Willys with a provenance, other than a Museum with a wealthy benefactor, Who could afford to buy it. This entire vintage vehicle segment has gotten way out of hand; we’re all being priced out of the hobby, and that’s what it used to be a FUN HOBBY. Now it’s just for the rich & famous. AS FOR ME, I’LL STICK WITH MY 48 CJ2A. I bought it in 1975 and it’s not for sale at any price.
