    Need opinions on my 51 M38

    ok, i have a basket case 1951 M38. it was my first jeep. it purchased it when i was 19 and from what i can tell it looks like it was modified in the early 70s. it has a 225 V6 a car muncie 4 speed adapted to a model 18 tcase and the original axles. the tub is shot. the frame has a bad rear crossmember. it does have a clean PA title and the original military dash plaques and V.I.N. . what i want to know is what its worth? i got to think it would be worth something.

    From the perspective of someone who has an interest in military jeeps, I would pay you say $1,500 max, knowing I would be swapping the motor back to original, and putting a new body on it.

    yeah, okay, even though i have about 650 on me right now. just because my dad drives a mercedes and jaguar and my mum drives a new mercury, doesnt mean they just hand me cash.
