HELP, Check out this willys.

they look just like my buddys IH cab,,,cant remeber what year his is though? 40/41 i think....

 

The windshield comes to a point like international (you can see it clear as day in the blower motor pic in his ebay write up)....and a willys is a flat windshield...at least it has leg room with the international cab....its not a willys...cool lookin'truck tho...John

theres no way this **** lips could sue any one. report his dumb ***!!

 

theres no way i would throw down 36 stacks for that .. but im sure somebody will..

 

Not to be a shallow ****, but to be a shallow ****, look at what this guy has been buying lately. nutisystem chocolate biscotti? From Ebay? ewwwww....

but seriously... The truck looks good. apart from the warpage on the lower cowl. oh and the fact that it has a cowl. not so willys-esk.

 

Mate even from down here it's a K and KB series Inter.Made between 1940-1949.AINT NO DOUBT ABOUT IT.

My guess is someone sold it to him as a '41 Willys, ***le says '41 Willys, must be a '41 Willys.

I wonder if this theory could make my rustfree '27 T coupe into a '32 5w AG clone just by buying a fancy ***le....

 

That like the 48 Ford I was building. I ended up selling the nose.

 

I just sent him an email as well. Hey, lets all send him one.

 

Not a Willys, not in a million years and a plastic fake Willys nose doesn't make it even close. However, if you read the item description, he does not mention the word Willys anywhere except in the ***le and sub***le, which was either cleverly or fortuitously (for him) linked with the word 'clone'. That he listed it under Willys is clearly misleading, but you would have to prove that he intended deceit. The use of the word 'clone' is questionable and it would be subject to legal interpretation.

You can make a career out of policing eBay and being the public conscience. While this may be very public spirited, ultimately eBay is a microcosm of life, so the rule 'caveat emptor' - buyer beware - applies. If you believe, as would seem to be the case, that the item description is misleading, if not downright deceptive, then simply report this to eBay Safety Harbor. By doing so you avoid conflict with the seller and eBay will probably pull the auction. Problem solved.

 

The guy replied to me. His message was simply, "Thanks".

 

I sent him a Email letting him know that we thought it was a International cab and sent him some pics of some willys PUs and he wrote back very nicely with thanks for letting him know what we thought it was,when he bought it it had the willys ***le. he now can see the differences with the cab. he seams like a OK guy now, maybe he just took the first emails the wrong way.
