Yea, I had no idea and my insurance company called me last fall and asked about the value. After looking at recent sales we determined I was under valued by 4x! Fortunately it only doubled the insurance cost.

You know your stuff, I rarely hear them referred to as Pagodas!

points at username :)

I used to work on them for a living (worked for a German guy that in his youth was a mechanic at Mercedes R&D).

I've always loved the W113s and regret passing up several opportunities to buy one back when you could get them reasonable.

Is that an M38? Looks like it got post-war reutilization as a fire vehicle.

I do not know old Jeeps very well so I am unsure of the model. It was definitely used as a fire vehicle.

Big headlights means its a CJ (so not a military jeep) ... the low hood means its either a CJ 2 or a CJ 3-A ... at any rate that's what I was looking for when i bought my CJ5 (I shoulda just held out for what I wanted).


ETA: Its a 3A

I love the idea of working on an old Jeep.
