It is not a very well done unit. CJ grill, windshield and un-reinforced tailgate. 12 volt conversion with a WO carb. Late civvy wheels. Price is going way to high. Looks like no data plates either.

My thoughts, exactly, Wes!!! Wonder if this was a prisoner work project and a limited budget.... free labor but the parts are gonna cost an arm and a leg! Wonder if they were just scrounging parts or if they were able to do internet searches for parts and more accuracy? I don't see data plates on the dash either but a serial # is listed on the auction site.

They also have an M37 up for auction at the same site.
