Well not sure if this one should fall into the Bubba class or not but i'll let you guys decide! But all I can say is crikies! Shocked

http://www.ecarlist.com/showroom/2385/photos/1165363

and it description reads:-
"1954 Jeep M38A1
CHECK OUT THIS VERY RARE 1954 JEEP M38A1 MILITARY JEEP! THIS JEEP HAS BEEN RESTORED TO THE BEST OF THE CURRENT OWNERS KNOWLEDGE AND RESEARCH! THE JEEP RUNS AND DRIVES AMAZINGLY WELL AND THE ENGINE WAS OVERHAULED AND IS THE ORIGINAL ENGINE. THE JEEP WAS CONVERTED TO 12 VOLT POWER. THE ONLY THING NOT ORIGINAL ON THIS JEEP IS THE TIRES AND WINDSHIELD. THE JEEP IS POWERED BY THE ORIGINAL 3 SPEED TRANSMISSION. LOOK AT ALL THE PHOTOS THIS IS A VERY VERY RARE FIND AND WOULD BE A GREAT PIECE TO ADD TO ANY COLLECTION. THIS JEEP HAS ALL THE OPTIONS!"

All yours for US$17,500

Is there a different definition of ORIGINAL down there in TEXAS? Wink

Up here the proper label would be Abomination and the estimated value $5 to $7 thousand US.

12 volt conversion
civvy ignition
civvy carb
original 24 volt waterproof wiring gone
WWII body handles added all around
WWII foot rests added to bed
Odd top and bows
Odd hood canvas adapted to the hood and grill.
Civvy spoked wheels
Foot step-up insert
Civvy light bar
windshield wipers relocated to bottom.
Incorrect snorkel hook up
Incorrect axe mounting
Body has been lifted a couple inches.
CJ front bumper
Civvy gauges

Looks like a suspension lift and aftermarket springs as well.

But the ONLY THING NOT ORIGINAL ON THIS JEEP IS THE TIRES AND WINDSHIELD. Laughing

I remember seeing this "thing" on the boards here several
months ago. At that time the responses were crikey and worse.
Not selling very quickly, is it??

Deja vu all over again.

Not even the stock M38A1 driver's seat survived the butchery. Looks like they used an M38 one. Grrrr. Mad

On the positive side, I like the rear seat.

I guess the wire cutter would come in handy
when you cross the fence into Mexico..

No one from Texas has any desire to go into Mexico. Not even the Mexicans who have escaped from there want to go back any more. It's only foreigners from the far north who still want to experience that.

Besides, you don't need wire cutters to get across the border in Texas. The snorkel would be more useful there.

And by the way, Not all Texans are bubbas, even about jeeps.
