    Yes, extremely rich. Hopefully they can back up their claims with proof.

    I never trust ads that have no interior or underhood pics. Especially when the term "all original" is used.

    Unrestored and all original, my left foot. I don't buy it for a moment.

    Well guys call me naive but I don’t see so much as a single wrong bolt on it.
    Absolutely nothing is outta place.
    By golly it even has a nice looking set of pencil point NDT’s.

    Hood latches are body color. All the ones I have seen are black.

    Sharp eye.
    I think if it was original, you would see some wear points on it just from age.
    Maybe it has been restored. It looks "Fresh"

    Hood latches look black to me. But all I have is a tiny screen shot.
    Well as you can see the tire sidewalls have polish on them.

    From the looks of the building in the background well that could either be a restoration shop or possibly a climate controlled storage.
    Says “2700 original miles”.
    That seems pretty specific to me.
    Unless you figure that somehow all the “other unreported miles” are not original.

    I suppose climate-controlled storage could have kept it that nice.
    Still, I wonder if it has been restored.

    The inner-fenderwells look to be sprayed in rhino-liner.
    Fuel filler neck and cap are also paint-matched.

    Wording is very brief, I don't see where it says "un-restored" (?) Anyone can claim "all original" if it has all the original parts on it.
    Place looks like a business, not a storage.
    This type of ad says to me "I wonder if anyone will buy this?" . Too few pics, high price and the snark about "flowered paper".
    Would be worth a look, but I would bet showing is only on business days.

    Another good catch. Cap should be black as well.

    My pics are tiny to see that stuff. I know details make all the difference.
    I can tell however that the paint seems a bit too shiny (especially the wheels) even if it was kept well waxed for 71 years.

    Well I’m sorry folks but even Gen. George S Pattons’ jeep with original mud from Germany isn’t worth 39 grand. My opinion.
