Hi Matt,
That add is written fraudulently. There's all most nothing
original, CJ-2A, and the only thing that's military is the gas tank that
doesn't fit. Military jeeps: http://www.----------.com/jeeporig.jpg and

There is a very faked Jeep on ebay being advertised as being "all original".
This is one of the most slapped together mish-mash of parts from several jeep
models and decades I have ever seen! The crime is he has labeled it so
incorrectly - fraud I say - and some poor dopes that don't know any better are
bidding it up to the $10,000 range.

This is a homebuilt jeep, not a factory Army jeep as purported.
There are so many things wrong with this "only 571 miles on it" jeep I don't
know where to begin.

The Top Bows are not even correct for an MB/GPW, nor for a CJ-2a. They are
M-38 (1950-51), as is the windshield frame.
The rear Top Bow mounting brackets are home made, not factory. The Front winch
is not military, not ****** factory. The CJ-2a did not come with 4 grab
handles; they are incorrect on a 1946 jeep. The blackout lights are a mess.
The Front B/O lights are not in the grill where they should be IF it were a
real military vehicle. The rear B/O Lights are mounted upside down and not in
the correct position for a military jeep. Civilian Jeeps did not come with
Pre-War Dodge King-Bee Marble reflectors. There is a muffler clamp holding the
Carb elbow to the top of the carb - YIKES!!!
There are muffler clamps holding the non-military Ax & shovel to the wrong side
of the vehicle. CJs don't have Ax & Shovel, MB/GPWs did, but on the driver's
side, not the passenger side as this cobble-job has been done up.
The wire harness is homemade, and a bad one at that. Where did the hood welting
go over the grill? It should still be there with only 571 original miles on
the jeep.

CJ's don't have the spare tire & gas can mounted to the tailgate. Military
Jeeps don't have tailgates. Military jeeps don't have locking wheel hubs
either.

It has had a WWII glove box cut into the CJ-2A dashboard on the body. The glove
box door looks homemade. It has the long 1pc data plate instead of the 3-piece
data plate set.

The rear bumperettes are mounted upside down. What is up with the black
reversed painted star? And the aftermarket taillight?
It has a postwar pintle hook, probably from a Vietnam era M151. It has a
3-stud spare tire mount - that was discontinued at ****** in 1943!

What a mess, any other knowledgeable jeepers want to send this guy an email
'correcting' his listing?
