Salesman Held Captive in Jeep Jail

Where do you draw inspiration from when in a funk for creative copy? Craigslist!
Used car sales is a tough job. Fred Flintstone would be the first in line for this sales-manager-powered 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5.
No motor. No transfer case. No seats. No problem.
Feed Aaron Erway three square meals a day and your covered. Or, skip the sales manager bit and use it for a flower planter - for the right family or course.

Love the Craigslist all-capped copy:

CHECK THIS OUT...NO MOTOR, NO TRANS...NO TRANSFER CASE NO SEATS... .NOW THE POSITIVE...IT IS REALLY CUTE....WOULD MAKE A TERRIFIC
FLOWER PLANTER FOR THE RIGHT FAMILY.... IT IS REALLY CUTE.. THAT IS NOT PATTON POSING BY THE WAY... PATTON WAS MUCH BETTER LOOKING ...THINK LONG AND HARD AND EVENTUALLY YOU WILL FIND SOMETHING CREATIVE TO DO WITH IT...THE FELLA PRETENDING TO BE A MOTOR... WE CALL HIM AARON... AARON ERWAY.... 'IT'S YOUR WAY WITH ERWAY' WHERE ELSE CAN YOU BUY A 1955 WILLYS FOR UNDER A GRAND ? ... COFFEE IS ALWAYS ON ...
Not a bad deal, a cup of coffee and CJ-5 all for $994. Check it out on Craigslist and here.
