Yah, kind of a hodge podge of parts, but I give the guy credit for bringing it along for the last 35 to 40 years.

The Genesis looks to be a mid 80s Genesis 4 or 5. Look at that old side burner. That FT400 the slide tops are in really sorry shape. Very sad on that

Did they have the glass cabinet grills in the 80's? I would love to talk to the guy and ask. I wonder if it may have started it's life as an NG grill?

I don't think the glass cabinet ones started until around 1990. That one certainly has an interesting assortment of Weber parts. Some clearly taken from an '87-'88 Genesis.

My uncle had one he bought when he bought his retirement house in IIRC 87/88. He bought what was either a Genesis 4 or 5.

Looking through our collection of brochures and catalogs, from 1986-1988, there are only Genesis I,II, and III grills (along with the XX and XXI as the Jr. was known then). The IV and V seem to make their first appearance in 1989, by which time wide slats were no longer being used. So, I would say that Genesis V body with glass has slats either from an older grill or homemade in that same size.
