[MV] M-38A1 Search

Against the advise of several people who have restored other antique
vehicles I have begun a search for a M-38A1.
I am located in Madison, CT and plan to give this to my father once
complete. He fought during Korea and this is the vintage vehicle in which
he would have driven. I started my search several months ago but I have
resisted buying a vehicle until I find the right one. Some of my data has
been coming from "the White Owl" folks in North Carolina. Has anybody
dealt with these folks before? Thoughts?
Also, are there any other "sources" of jeeps that might be closer to CT?
All of the vehicles in this area seem to have been painted bright metallic
purple with chrome mags, cut up , chopped down, or rendered otherwise
useless. (I would say fools but I do not know them personally)
I am willing to pay a reasonable price for a semi-in tact or semi-restored
vehicle(strictly military). I would like to purchase something that has
not been under the torch. Am I dreaming or are these things out there?
Your replys are greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Tim Cosgrove
Future M-38A1 owner
