on November 22nd I posted something on the 78 MB and GPW
Jeeps which are for sale in Belgium. You may remember, that I was not
impressed by the condition of these vehicles and the price asked for same.
You may also recall that I had been to the place and felt not very
welcome at the time. In my posting, I said, that parts were taken from
the vehicles and replaced by reproduction parts, at least I had this
impression and others told the same story.
In any case my views might be subjective. Should I have gotten the
wrong impression at the time, I have to appologize to Mr. Schneider.
For all those who might be interested in these vehicles or the purchase
of same, I deem it appropriate to read what Mr. Schneider has to say
about these vehicles himself.
I take it that Mr. Schneider expects me to put the matter straight as
far as the list is concerned.
According to the message he sent directly to me, which I quote below,
you will note that:
- no parts were stripped from the vehicles after they were delivered
- they have been in dry storage since 12 years
- parts were added to improve them and they are unike
- they are priced at USD 7,500 each
- people want them, as they are the very last originals on the market
Mr. Schneider sent me the following mail:

Well well
You are not very nice talking about my jeeps like that.
You dont know half off what I have you, dont no shit about the condition my
WW-II original jeeps are in. So why do you wright such nonsens about me and
my jeeps. I never stripped one singel jeep in my live off anything I never
took any F marked parts off any jeep if it happen it must have been you who
stole it from me when visiting me.
Jeeps have been dry stored for more than 12 years only have improved by
adding missing parts. When you would have been able to by such a uniek jeep
you would have known that you would get a lot of original parts too compleet
the jeep so why would I strip a jeep?
And if you are a thrue collector and restorer than you would love to have
one of my jeep to rebuilt it your self so you know what you have and get.
Might you be interestet and have the money to buy one than the price at
this moment for one jeep is 7500 US Dollars yes the price went up and lucky
for me peopel are lining up to buy one so be sure that people want them as
they are the very last original jeep on the market.
So I'm not impressed with your sad story and I find it very low to talk
about something you dont know nothing about.
Regards
Dennis Schneider
