Heads Up, Ebay Pick Up Ain't Quite Right

John McKnight suggested I check out this cut down 1948 Crosley Station Wagon that is being sold as a Pick Up on Ebay.  The seller says he doesn't know anything about Crosleys so I doubt he's being dishonest... just not an informed seller.
The tip offs are: the rear body profile (should be flat, not rounded), the back of the cab (window should be pill shaped, should have stampings on either side of the glass), and the bed should be flat- this has a modified wagon floor.  I learned a whole lot about '48 pick ups when I bought one outta Utah last year.
Seems like a nice car for what it is, I just hope the bidders know what they are getting....

Actually, the seller IS a weasel- I'm informed that the prez of the Crosley Club got in touch with him the first day of the auction to let him know that this was a kustom but he's choosing not to fix... buyer beware!

Sold for $5800... (!) hope the big pile of parts that went with it make up for the non-originality of the car...
