Hello,
Through the newspaper I have located a 1953 M38A1. I am going to go
look at it tomorrow and I need to know what to look for (ie.
originality, what should or shouldn't be standard with it, etc.) and
what questions to ask the owner. I know it only has a primer coat on it
at the moment and that everything is original except for the gas tank.
Over the phone the owner said that it had been disassembled when he
bought it (the previous owner intended to restore it but ran out of
funding) and in reassembling it he had to jerry-rig a couple of things.
What would be a fair asking price? Please reply ASAP. Thanks in advance,
LaureL
