1960 M-38A1 San Jose, CA $3000

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

Seller can’t find keys.

“1960 Jeep willy. My late step-dad’s project that never got to finish. It was operational a few years ago, but we cant find the keys. It has not been started since then, so some work is going to be required. We have the pink slip in hand, but no keys. I still am debating between keeping it until I have the finance to fix it up or sell it to a good home. But it is definitely up for sale and will be in the garage until then

The interior and exterior is much better compared to other Jeep willy of this price range. We have a new gas tank that was never installed which will be included. Currently has one seat installed.”

Hasn’t run in years. Seller says to make offer.

“Up for sale is a 1952 M38A1 military Jeep. The last time it ran was 2010 and was parked due to having a problem with the rear axle. The would be a nice restoration job on a VERY desired Jeep. Some surface rust, nothing major, plow comes with it. Make me an offer! From the research I did it’s worth about 2,000$ in the condition it’s in.”

https://boise.craigslist.org/pts/d/m38a1-cj5-willys-military/6339554945.html

1952-m38a1c-boise-id

“This is a 1952 M38A1C military jeep. it’s also a rare artillery version. This was before the CJ5 came out but they shared the same DNA. has the original hood numbers. previous owner wanted it preserved. that was my intention but the buyer backed out of our deal.

I restored and still own one of these and they are a beautiful piece of history. Vets love them. Sadly the wife says no more to my military collecting and it has to go. If she said it then it must be true.

it’s restorable or would be good for parts to finish yours. the rolling chassis has the body, fuel tank, front clip, windshield, bumper, complete grill, pintle hook, radiator and seats. The T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case are present but removed, and it has a rare valuable Rancho overdrive attached. Driveshafts are there. Top bows are of the CJ5 civilian era. it’s remarkably rust free on the tub, grill, windshield and fenders, except the tub was cut around the cowl and the tool box is rusted out. i’m sure the hat channels need attention. Many valuable and very hard to find parts are still on this.
what is missing: no canvas or top, bumperettes, bellhousing, no engine or attached engine parts, ebrake drum or handle, or spare tire carrier. These are still available aftermarket and easy to find.
