I personally think that all Jeeps of this era are overpriced because
what can you really do with them? They can't haul "stuff" like a
pickup and you can't haul people like you could with a car.
But....that's just me.
Even though most parts interchange with the Willys jeep, please
remember that this is a Ford jeep and it will probably command a
higher price. Still a lot higher than what I would be willing to pay.

I really like the 6 wheel troop carrying trucks of the era, with the six
wheels (2 in front and 4 in back in tandom) for 4 or 6 wheel drive.
Not really practical to own.
