That is very interesting.
Was that a jeep from someone in our group? _________________ Ryan Miller

Looking at the pictures that one still had work to be done on it, missing battery box and there were some grommets missing.
The local Jeep guy here says he saw an M-38 go at an auction for $55,000... Who knows...
I can wish tho... |

yeah, it definitely is not a factory restoration. I just takes the right buyer to come along with a pocket full of cash. |

Most likely a brainless in Seattle buyer who didn't do any market research.
Did you notice the Jun 1950 DOD!!!! She was delivered before the last of the CJV's and before the first six pilot model M38's. About NOV 1950 would be more correct.
Hopefully all the armament is worth eight or nine thousand $'s.
It's also poorly done.
The list would be long:
1-Windshield seating probably due to rediculous post mount.
2-Rubber tranny and transfer boots.
3- Dash cluster and data plates are late series.
4-Hand brake missing.
5-Floors look pretty rough.
6-Interesting exhaust extension heat shield.
7-Horn and button are late.
8-Battery and slave grounds are incorrect.
9-Horn mounting incorrect.
10-Batteries are of course incorrect. _________________ Wes K

Shouldn't the front lifting shackles be different also? |

Would the later front lifting shackles work on an early frame? |

Rick L., don't say selling price, say asking price. I would bet , if it it sells, it will be more in the $9-10 K range _________________ Chuck W.

A little off topic but when were the six pilot models delivered?

I have heard about one of the pilot models in a museum somewhere in the eastern US. I can't remember where it was said to be.
I think that would be a very neat jeep to see. _________________ Ryan Miller
