   Two and a half years ago I answered an add like this. 52 military jeep $5000 Photos texted to me turned out to be a 52M38 with a Kelly hard top. Made the one way 8 hr drive to take a look at it and picked up the rust free California jeep for $3000. Followup on these lazy adds if your in the market.

   You have to love ads where they misspell the make of the vehicle. Kurt is right, you can pick up great deals if the seller doesn't know...or care...About what they have. In the next few years we'll be seeing a lot of estate sales, widows or kids just want the stuff gone. The flip side of that is unknowing people believe what someone tells them (It's worth a fortune") or worse they watch an auction in TV and think all models are worth big bucks. I saw an early Bronco at an auction, not bad but needed work. A few weird mods, the left side finish was rough to The touch...they said it was original paint, but Ford did not use 100 grit sandpaper for body prep. The guy demanded $50k for it because he saw one sell on Barrett-Jackson for that.

      John and Kurt .. that's exactly why I post these type of ads. Most of the time, there is nothing there, but sometimes, there's something good.
