WWII 1943 Ford GPW Jeep with M2 Browning .50 Cal dispaly gun and accessories FULLY RESTORED

Now this is supposed to be a $20,000 jeep. Its missing so many parts on the motor I can't list them all.. my fingers would cramp. The radiator is wrong, its missing most of the rubber body parts, it didn't have tapered ford springs, there were horrible weld beads where panels should have been replaced, the rear floor was spliced and there is a gap running from side to side.. not even welded, no torque reaction spring on the front driver side (I'll concede that a factory 43 would not have it.. but most jeeps were retrofit at some point), and the kick: THE HEAD ON THE MOTOR HAS JEEP CAST INTO IT.... WTF.
I pitty the fool that offers more than $5k for this.. and shame on IMA-USA for asking anything north of $5k... let alone $20k.
Make you wonder how well they vett the other 'rare and collectiable' items they sell.
