Re: Now, That's a Real Jeep
The ****** 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 ****** 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.
