1952 M-38A1 & Year? CJ-2A St. Paul, MN $9600 (for both)

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

The seller also lists prices for buying them separately. The 2A is listed as a 1952, but it looks to have some 2A attributes, such as the radiator, so the year may be incorrect (Or it is a 2A+3A).

“2 Jeeps, 1-1952 CJ2A $3800, and 1- 1952 M38A1 $6200, both have many many new parts, I got them both and were not running, my goal was to get them running whicih I did, now it’s time for someone else to take them to the next level, both start, run and drive, would take $9500 for both,”

1949 CJ-3A Las Vegas, NV $3500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Doesn’t run at the moment, but has potential. It appears the cargo area has been lengthened. Note the photo that shows the underside of the body near the rear of the frame. You can see the body sits several inches behind the normal rear of the frame. Moreover, a couple pics show what appear to be patches on the top of the rear wheel wells. There is no side shot that really shows how it looks after being lengthened.

1952 M-38? Spring Valley, CA $8500

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, M-38 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This has a replacement body, but I think it might have been an M-38. The windshield is shorter, like a CJ-3B, but with an unusual scallop. I don’t know if this is custom or aftermarket.

“1952 Jeep Willys 4×4 350 automatic transmission 3.8L V6 Clean title and registered till Nov Beautiful restored jeep Engine runs strong 33” tires Only issue are the brakes, the pedal hits the steering wheel column so it needs to be positioned better. They’re drum brakes so they’re stiff but they do work, I used to drive this thing around. I just don’t have the time or money to fix anymore.”

1951 CJ-3A w/ Roof Rack Denver, CO $8000

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I can’t tell if the $8k price includes the roof rack or not, but it certainly is an interesting piece. The seller provides an extensive list of parts added and work done.
