Not mine. Sure is in better condition body wise than mine was for the same price.

That's 200 miles from me.

It's got a CJ grill and windshield on it (and who knows what else), but could be worth it in parts value.

Ive seen much worse! Doesn't look like it was molested too much, other than the grill and the windshield as already pointed out.
A little WD-40 and that motor could be purring! Laughing

Grill looks right to me, the lights are behind holes not mounted to the surface. I agree it is the wrong windshield though. no gas tank and probably no regulator. The generator cable is behind the seats and for some reason a really long battery cable is under them.

Kind of hard to tell in the photos, but I don't see hinges at the bottom of the grill like the M38 has.

No holes for the headlight guards either. You can't put Civvie headlight buckets in a M38 without hacking.

I’m not so sure that’s right.

My M38 grill has the buckets and trim rings, and holes and screw tabs for the brush guards.

Cleaning the trim rings I found chrome under the civvy paint and olive drab.

Maybe someone can compare the CJ3A buckets with the M38 buckets part numbers.

I suspect the part number would start with a WO.

Here is an M38 grille, notice it is a perfectly round hole with eight mounting holes. Then compare to a a CJ. They have four tab like protrusions that go inside the circle and have 4 mounting holes. I may have mixed up which way is not interchangeable, but went through this trying to sort out a salad jeep.

Not sure what im doing wrong with the IMG stuff Sad

The seller found the master data plate, posted photos of it (replacing the grill photos) and raised the starting bid price from $1500 to $2000.
Still no takers, but maybe he's watching our interest.

No hinges on the bottom of the grill still say it's not a M38 grill to me. But the grill is just a small part of the deal. Before he took those photos down, I'm pretty sure I saw an M38 frame (boxed in the front rails).

In case he sees this, I wonder if he has the head for the motor, and what the serial number on the block might be.

$500 more just for the data plates is a little optimistic to me. He also doesn't say whether or not there's a matching patent plate on the passenger wheel well. Also says no title (SC issues titles for everything), so possible red flag there.

I paid 2000 for one of the M38s I have had. Drove it home too.

I'm just guessing that had to be quite a few years ago? When money was real.
