Gonna guess that it's sold, since the link to the craigslist ad in the BAT writeup says "posting has been deleted by its author".

It is. In the comments below the BAT listing, one guy mentions his friend bought it. Since it was BO and the guy put more than $10K in it, someone mentioned they wondered if the $4.5K was a misprint and he really wanted $14.5K.

The commenter mentioned the frame was solid and it's a NM truck. Wow. I think that's a complete steal if it really went for under $5K. Even if it is a Series III

Some of the comments seem to be from the ill informed. I can't imagine anyone thinking $14.5K could be the right price. If any one is interested, here's a very straight 2A for a pretty good price.

I don't know, if the bulkhead, frame, engine, blah blah blah were great, it could be worth it. Speaking as someone who paid a lot less than that for their truck and has traded that $avings for a lot of personal labor and many parts.

What I'd really like right now is a bargain priced complete rust bucket head to tail:

swiss cheese bulkhead,
frame gone,
breakfast ruined,
harness chewed,
interior toast

....wrapped in a perfect, dent free, bondo-less aluminum skin

I know of two Series IIA 1963 88's like that with rear PTO and winch, the other has a capstan winch and overdrive, both running when parked but frames are rough. floor pans rought to. he also has a nice condition 1963 IIA 109 with a rebuilt motor and tons of extra parts. I think he was asking 10K for everything but I bet $5K would get them. If anyone is intersted I will take some pictures of the trucks frames etc. I just want the capstan winch out of the deal....

I forgot to mention all three are LH Drive safari tops good glass, On of the 88's has a good body on it as well
