M38A1 value???

Long story short. This M38A1 is in a local salvage yard.

I believe this is a restorable M38A1. What is it worth as is? It is all there except the windshield. And no title.

While I am not a huge fan of the A1 body style, I know others are. How do the A1's sell?

Location updated.

I am probably gonna end up with it and part it out. I know. I know.

I need the bumperettes, lift shackles, pins, 1 shackle bracket, and the wheels for my M38.

There is a small one, approx 6x12, an upper, close to the firewall, and a larger one that goes around all 3 levers, about 2 ft x 2 ft. That's the one

It's common to the M38. M38A1, and M170. PM me with a suggested price (assuming it's not shot).

Thanks

Bill

Yeah, I scrapped that one with the rusty tub - all I have left is the small one that goes around the tranny shifter. Sorry.

Looks pretty complete - you're still going to end up putting at least a couple grand in her if it's not real rusty. I would say shes worth restoring (if shes not real rusty). I would still say 5 - $750 unless you really wanted her. Just my opinion though - we're heart for advice and support.

I need a junk yard like this here in germany.
Complete her with a windshild and some other small parts and save her for restoration. There is many scrap around that can be parted out.
Get the parts for your M38 otherwise.

Is this a civil Defense sign on the hood?
