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.

With the success of the Genesis line from the very beginning in 1989 they introduced the 4 and the 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.

1989 Weber Dealer Product Catalog

Thanks to TVWBB member @Jon Tofte and our friends at the Weber Kettle Grill Giants Facebook Group for sharing this 1989 product catalog for Weber dealers. It's a 36-page full-color brochure that highlights Weber products and accessories for 1989, including samples of Weber print advertising and retail point-of-sale displays for that year.

The 1989 catalog also debuts the Genesis 4 and 5 gas grills.

This catalog marks the transition from a product-centric design in 1988 to a lifestyle-centric design for 1989, with lots of photos of...

You beat me, Josh!

 

[Cody Bratton]

Every time I see one, I want one just a little bit more!

Gold in Indy for 20 bucks!

Here's a good deal. Looks mostly dirty. I suspect, however, that given there is no scale that this is a half-baked conversion job from NG to LP.

Yah, the missing tank scale would be reason for concern. Otherwise, it doesn't look too bad.

 

[Cody Bratton]

too much money though

*edit - asking $250

 

[Jon Tofte]

Here is another blue one in Louisville, KY that doesn't look quite as nice but has the side burner and only asking $50.

I had one all restored and ready for you to pick up for free

I have a tingle in my nether-regions

If I didn't hate driving to Chicago so much I'd grab it.

I don’t really need another one! But…..

Bone in Christmas Ribeye Roast for $7.99 per lb. at Aldis.

 

[Val Deale]

Here is what looks like a blue lid Silver B with R &L table retracts about two hours from me. Aside from the fact it's not free, $100 seems a bit steep but the immediate view of the condition seems good. Any thoughts? I wish the photo was better.

That's a really good deal Bruce! In Washington I can't get ribeye steaks or ribeye roast for even close to that.

Arizona I can get some really good deals though at a really nice grocery store by my house. This was last year's Ribeye roast sale. I had them cut into Steaks. I should have got more. Maybe this year.

 

[Bruce]

That is dirt cheap. The bone account for a portion of the weight, but still better than $19 a lb for plain Ribeyes.
And the roast looks great on a Christmas dinner table.
