Someone is taking the bait, look at the bidding history. From $399 to
$1K, $3.5K $9K, it is up to $18K right now.
It does /look/ good in spite of the misleading description. Its all in
the details.

Every bolt is marked with the Ford logo because the manufactures
guaranteed the parts, and Ford didn't want to buy ****** parts. Would you

$18k seems a bit high for a jeep you haven't inspected in person. Well
