Willys/M151
I purchased this Jeep a few years ago and since then have added a new stereo, new floor mats, new head-lamps, new top, new wipers, new hubcaps and washed, but didn't wax it and added air to all 4 tires and will sell it to the first $100,000 bidder. And, of course, 2 1/2% of the proceeds will go to the Republican politician of your choice.
'The Marine Corps is paying $100,000 apiece for a revamped military jeep that some critics call a rip-off of taxpayers, according to a news report Thursday.
The Marines budgeted to buy more than 400 vehicles, called Growlers, under a contract that could total $296 million including ammunition, USA Today said, citing Pentagon records.
Built by Ocala, Florida-based American Growler, the Growler is made partly from salvaged M151 jeep parts and is available in several versions.
Four years ago, the Dominican Republic paid $33,000 for a version of the Growler, the paper said citing US Export-Import Bank records.
A commercial version of the jeep costs just $7,500'.
It's a shot in the dark to imply or accuse a company that has these sweetheart government deals of being a Republican-Party campaign contributor, but odds are they do grease the palms of some politician and since it's money being ripped-off through military spending, I guess I automatically assume.
I tried looking at Florida's campaign contributors on-line disclosure site but nothing came up for 'American Growler' or its
two co-owners, 'Bill Crisp' or 'Col. Curtis Crews'.
'Bill and the Col.' are either paying somebody kick-backs or they've got one hell of a sales pitch.
By the way.....I'll take $98,000 for the Jeep.
