I DO KNOW that there are a couple of weird things about this CJ5 that the
list may find interesting. One is that it has a dummy cover for the battery
box that is on the M-38-A1. Cover will not move, and a battery tray on right
fender. It is my theory that maybe this was a very early civilian model and
they used a military body. Front right fender does not have recess for the
slave receptacle as per the military, but again that is a replaceable part.
Second oddity is that the windshield is a two piece, fold out glass, version
similar to CJ-2A, but obviously made for CJ5/M38A1 body. Third item of
interest it also has a small glove box on right side like my M38. It also
has a MD serial number on the motor, but since this could have been changed
out several times, I don't think that is too odd.
I do know that it spent most of it's previous life as a south Alabama stump
jumper for deer hunters, so I doubt it is some elusive Swiss/Honduras test
model, and for $350 I don't think the Bubba I bought it from was trying to
pull something over on me (although his wife was really glad to see it leave
his front yard).
