Is this a good deal?
I saw an ad in the paper for a guy selling 1 1952 M38, a 1956 M38A1, plus a spare engine and other parts. All this is for $2250. I called him and he said that one has some rust and the other has had body repair work done. He said neither run. They dont have military tires and no seats. I am wondering if this is a good deal to buy then resell parts I don't need. I currently have a 1952 M38 that is in pretty good condition but doesnt run right now. I havent seen them but dont know if its worth looking at. It is about a 2.5 hour drive from my house.
Thanks

I would say it is certainly worth the ride.

Parts is parts.
You can use them yourself or "go to a rally and horse trade with your low life buddies" (quote from my ex-wife).
If you have the time and money go for it.

Thanks Guys.
I'm thinking of going to check them before I decide if I want them. I just don't want to pass up a good deal. I've done that so many times before.
