   Even unrestored, the price look too high. It does'nt have the original engine. And 25K$ when it will be restored, it's optimistic.

   Some might even say $25k is unrealistic (I would be one of those people).

   The brush guards for the headlights, the headlight trim rings and the blackout parking light lenses are shown in one picture but missing in another. Is the seller parting this Jeep out while they await a buyer for the remains?

   I noticed that too, Paul. I think that 3rd pic is a different Jeep. It's more complete (as you itemized,) plus greener and less rusty.

   To clear this up. The bottom pic is an older pic from April. The two top pics are supposed to be new pics. I kept the third pic because it showed the engine. Based on the rust spots and mechanics, it looks like the same jeep to me. The hue (proper term?) of the paint is different due to a different camera or different lighting. So, I believe it's the same jeep. - Dave

   Hey guys, I bought this M38!... it is in my shop right now and I am deciding between restoration or preservation. The only rust is the one present in the front floors and the side cowl panels as seen in the pictures. It does run an drives and running gear works perfectly. As always, brakes don't work : ))) It is complete, PO took some parts off but he gave them to me in a box, so it is mostly complete. The good thing is that it hasn't been restored or messed up in the past besides that awful hole torched in the hood. No bondo, no hidden rust. Any comments or suggestions are highly appreciated. Regards Axel
