Except for some passenger side rust, this looks pretty good.

This looks like a good price.  It runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

This runs, but needs some body work.  It looks pretty darn stock though.

“Willys Jeep, model M38A1. She runs but needs quite a bit of body work. Been sitting for a while now and needs batteries but with a little love, this would be a perfect hunting partner. I do not have the specifics but I think it was built in 1953, plus or minus a couple of years.”

UPDATE:  Price bumped to $1800.

(05/17/2011) This looks great for the price, though this appears to be a M-38A1 body on an earlier frame.

“1951 Willy’s M38 A1 Jeep for sale. Runs and drives. New snow tires so can be driven or towed. New Solex carburetor. Have a few spare parts including original air cleaner. Have not found any rust in body except in rear deck by rear seat. I believe a previous owner has done the body work as the body is straight and clean. Stock gauges in-op. Transmission, transfer case and differentials are tight. Over the last three years I have taken it on a half dozen 40 mile back road trips with no problem

(04/12/2011) It doesn’t run, but looks pretty stock (except for the engine as noted by Javier).

Here’s another ‘Cool’ jeep from Cali.

“This is a 1952 Willys Army jeep in need of a restore. It has never been restored. The engine indicates it was rebuilt in occupied Japan. It’s located in Cool, California, half way between Auburn and Placerville in Gold Country. Bring cash and pick up this awesome project car! Here’s a link to some photos: ”

This has some dents, but might be worth a look at this price.

This sounds like a must sell situation.

“1952 Overland M38 A1 Jeep.  Moving soon and don’t have the time to restore this properly. Frame is in *excellent* condition, no rust. Needs some bodywork on rear panel and left-front fender, otherwise ready for primer-paint. Mostly complete though missing random parts like seat cushions, generator, gauges, and other little odds/ends. Transmission and transfer case recently rebuilt (can’t verify though they shift fine and oil was clean). Engine rebuilt though I don’t know how much mileage or when. Cyl head needs new valves and guides since they rusted from sitting in damp environment. If you have questions please ask, email for quickest response.  $1500 firm. You won’t find one in better condition.”
