Bill shared this rare M-38A1D for sale. It’s in parts and sounds like a must-sell situation.

“1955 M38A1D that has been unassembled waiting ground up restoration. Motor block has been bored .030 over, with new pistons and bearings but not assembled. All parts are included including all Manuels. Everything is located inside in two towns in Connecticut and would need to be picked up. Radiator flushed and tested, fuel tank has been lined, wiring harness included. Great project for someone with room. Unable for me due to illness.”
Unless I’m mistaken, the “D” the one with the Nuclear capable recoilless rifle.
According to Wiki, only a few dozen were built, but this data plate clearly shows “M38A1D”. (I’m a bit surprised they made such a fancy data plate for so few conversions).
No mention of its rarity in the seller’s write up, so I wonder if he knows what he has?
And, does the body retain the various changes that made a C/D unique or has a previous owner tried to make it a regular A1 or CJ-5?
If it is that rare, I hope it goes to a owner who will restore it properly.
