UPDATE: **Sold** Was $7500.
“The jeep was purchased from a Willys collector (second owner) in 2012 for $10,000 plus a jeep for which I paid $2,000, with $7,000 added since.
The original owner was in Western Oregon.
I wanted an original, green,Willys, with original paint, but not with the rust like most on the market. More than 50 jeeps in different States were considered before finding this one. The engine, transmission and Warn overdrive had been rebuilt when I purchased it with a roll bar. There are 25,153 miles on the jeep now.
The license plate designates the vehicle as a collectible, so you don’t need to pay for yearly tabs.
These are the additions since 2012; they were professionally done. Most receipts were kept:
Brakes, master cylinder, hoses, and wheel cylinders $1,114
Wheel bearings packed, replaced hub seals and tie rod $550
Rebuilt distributor, ignition coil, spark plugs $450
New muffler and tail pipe $286
Rebuilt carburetor, points, condenser $443
New thermostat and water pump $416
New fuel pump
Replace brake lights $31
New, stock clutch, value adjustment, wheel bearings $963
New battery $78
New, custom-made springs $668.36, kept originals.
New hood blocks $10.95
New rear floor mat $149.95
New Tow bar and cable
New trailer hitch (never towed anything; thought I would tow a rowing shell but didn’t.)
