It looks like an original CJV35 however at serial number V10410 it looks like the V10334 engine serial may not be original to the jeep since it is so much earlier than the jeep but that of course would depend on 1st in and 1st out at the time in Willys engine storage room.
The Carb and plug wires are wrong and he doesn't show us the right side of the engine. Nor does he show us the dash.
Bob Westerman could help with evaluating this jeep for accuracy.

I owned CJV35-10121 for several years. The jeep on ebay looks original but Wes is right- no pic of the dash or the distributor. Mine was very straight and had most of the unique parts, but no generator between the seats and the dist was civvy.
I sanded down the hood and it showed USMC 162412. The motor I took to be original and was V10093, so there is not necessarily a strong correlation between the tub/engine numbers from what I can tell.
I bought it not even knowing what it was- only knew you rarely saw a flat fender body in such good shape. Didn't run, but didn't take much to get it going. Then it purred. I believe it was a Georgia forestry rig or maybe BIA from the semi-professional paint job. First civvy owner was the guy I bought it from in N California; he had it originally in southern Oregon. That's probably where the dist, generator, radios etc are- in some barn. I bought it from his estate. I've always had it in my mind that it ended up in S Oregon when a broker loaded up several of them and sold them in that area.
I hated to sell, but a collector tracked me down and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. I don't think he's done anything with it.
They're different, but in the end, don't drive or feel other than what they really are: a slightly modified 3A.

| Funny that he listed a rare distributor worth $3,000 but didn't bother to show a picture of it. |

Is it worth $3,000? Was this some sort of intermediate or experimental distributor? Just curious.

I believe it was the simple Bendix-Scintilla similar to the waterproof distributors in the WWII jeep waterproofing kits. An original early M38 distributor used with the firewall mounted noise filter is probably worth as much as that distributor and would think that a realistic value would be closer to $500.
Doesn't mean the a juice head with too much money won't go totally stupid and bid $3000 for one on an auction site.
