Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
$47K now. Doesn't look in great condition either.

Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
The Willys MT-TUG is at $47K and the reserve still is not met. I wonder
how high it will go -- poking around the Web it looks like there's only 4 of the original 15 known to exist, so it has real attraction for the collector. I don't think it looks too bad for original (the description says some of the original tires are still in place), unrestored condition. I wonder what a WWII-era Willys T-28 halftrack would fetch? The Commando is at $4K and hasn't met the reserve either. He's never going to see all of his money come back. Dave Milne wrote: > $47K now.

Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
Didn't realise that they were that rare. One of them was at the War and
Peace show in 2002 - dunno if it lives here or was just visiting. Guess I didn't appreciate it as fully as I should have done.
