“1953 Willys M-38 jeep plus a 1/4 ton Bantam trailer (civilian)!! The jeep is 100% original with a 24 volt system, frame off restoration. The color is 24087, Korean War time. The tires are new – 700×16. The transmission is 3 speed with a 2 speed transfer case. (Both have been reconditioned.) The motor has been overhauled; it has a waterproof ignition. The seats have new canvas upholstery. It has a new canvas top. (There are no side curtains or doors.) It includes a canvas winter front closure and M1 rifle rack. (i have an M1 dummy rifle for extra cost.) This vehicle is motor pool ready.
The trailer is marked US Army but is the civilian model. It has a tailgate, a new floor plate, and new tires.) For more information or with questions, call Jim at (208)549-3400 or (208)550-0928. Located in southwest Idaho, 80 miles from Boise.”
Reason the rifle rack isn’t installed is because the windshield frame is from a CJ3A and has no provision to mount it. No backing plate for the data plates and no primary battery box under the hood. Production ended in mid-52 with the advent of the A1. Nice looking Jeep. Motor pool ready, Yes. 100%. No.
Small thing, maybe, but Weiser is in Idaho, not Oregon. On f border.
“f” was supposed to say “the” (proofing too late! Ha)
Don, I lived for five years an hour away from there and have even been there a few times and I STILL made the mistake … I may be a little distracted these days!! Thanks for the correction.
Is this jeep still for sale and how much were you looking to get? Does it include the trailer too?
