“Restored jeep you have to see. Ford tires are on the jeep and there is an extra set along with the cover. Bumper has been bent. Otherwise it is in good condition.”
Doug forwarded this link. No obvious rust. This might be worth a look.

“This is a genuine set of the rare Renegade 1 Kelsey Hayes Jeep wheels. They are the real deal “deep dish” 15×8 Renegade 1 wheel with all 4 KH tags still in tack with the correct part number KH-79005. These only came on 1970 CJ5s that were ordered with the Renegade 1 package. Production number of Renegade 1 wheels have been rumored at only 600 making these relatively rare wheels. You can google “kelsey hayes renegade 1 wheels” and there you’ll find the examples of these wheels with a little history. These wheels are in incredible original condition with no rust, the paint is in excellent condition as well. These have a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt pattern and will actually work on any Jeep CJ 1946-1986.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/18/2013) “Up for sale is a 1946 Willys CJ2A. It has approx. 28,000 original miles. This truck is in very good condition considering its age. The truck runs great, get in turn the key and start it up. All of the gauges work, lights work, horn works. This truck would make a great restoration candidate, just needs a little TLC.”
J Metz forwarded this picture and article from Yahoo. This just seemed like an appropriate 4th of July photo.
I stumbled upon an article (unclear how old it is) about Bianchi Orchards in Red Bluff, CA, that included a reference to Willys Jeeps. Apparently they have several jeeps: a 1951 Willys Jeep (truck?), a restored Jeep named Guido, and two older pickups affectionately known as Happy and Big Blue (unclear if these are trucks or not).
