Is this a 4, 4A, 4A IRS, or 250?

My guess is a 4A with a solid axle rear. I think I see the chrome for the front fender and doors, but the rear hasn't sunk into the ground. Looks like the interior is gone, where is the steering wheel?
 
Eh.. The pics too blurry. And the light is reflecting off the door just right to obscure any view of a chrome strip. Looks like the front fender is missing so no id there, and i dont see any backup lights so I dont think it's a 250. I agree that the stance looks like a solid axle so I would give the same guess that it's either a 4 or a 4A solid axle.
They were only intrested in the 5000 lb boat anchor in the foreground from the looks of it.
Did you see the rest of that one guys collection! HOLY COW!
 
Hey, there was another quasi british classic here. An American Bantam...hich aside from being related to the Jeep is an Austin 7 derivative I believe. Wish I knew where in Georgia this was.
 
What a mind-blower of a site! I'm pretty familiar with American muscle cars, and I didn't know whether to laugh or cry at some of those pix! Yenko Deuces and Superbirds just rusting away! Hemis worth 900K +! Wow, thanks for passing that along!

I happen to love looking at that site. I find rotting cars appealing to look at, to see the way things wear and weather. The sheer stupidity of the owners also blows my mind. One look at the Superbirds page tells you there are blissfully unaware people as to what the values of their rotting hulks may be.
I wish they had more imports to look at. Maybe in time. I may send them some photos, like the Jaguar XK120 near here that has no motor, headlights, or top left. Weeds groing though it. Sad but true I guess.

I am a strong believer in fix it, sell it, or junk it. Dont let it rot back into the Earth. I have been trying to impress this on a friend of mine who has 5 MGS and 4 Triumphs rotting away.... (GT6s, TR7s. No useful parts for my project.)
