1953 M-38A1 Cortland, NY $2995

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

Craig shared this one. It includes a Warn OD.

“Started life as a military M38A1. Has since been blended with several donor CJ5’s. Converted to 12 volt alternator, lights and starter. Wheels are standard 15”. Seats are out of a ’72 Scout. Rear of Jeep was removed by a previous owner so I installed a tailgait and have included a new tailgait yet to be painted. A new windshield frame and gasket is also included as the one on it has cracked.
It’s been sitting for several years. Runs great, Moves, but won’t stop. Brakes will need to be addressed. I will include new wheel cylinders, but the master cylinder should probably be replaced also. Includes an older Besttop soft top with doors. Doors are good. Top has a few issues.
4 cylinder f head engine.
3 speed trans with a rare Warn “all-range” overdrive. New, the overdrive sells for $1000+. Overdrive is still manufactured and sold by Advance Adapters as a Saturn overdrive.”

This one looks in good shape. Barry spotted it. It almost looks like the rear wheels are larger than the fronts. It must be an optical illusion?

“I am selling my 52 Willys overland, frame off restoration with a little over 23k mileage. Runs and drives really nice, very fun to drive. I have too many projects and need to let this one go. I will consider trades for running drivable Camaro, Chevelle or an 87 Monte Carlo SS hardtop. ”

Has an overdrive and appears to have some Allstate hubs.

“Great condition Jeep, its a real military model Willies. Original F Head 4 cylinder engine. Runs Excellent, starts excellent, drives excellent. No issues that would keep you from using it as a daily driver if you desired.

A Warn overdrive unit has been added. This allows higher speeds with lower RPM’s. Nice for running down the highway at 55 without the engine screaming at 4,000 RPM’s. Turn signals work. Brakes work. Starts very easy and runs great. Again, no issues at all.

Comes with full removable soft top and doors. Folding windshield mechanism works perfectly.”

1957 CJ-5/M-38A1 Leonardtown, MD $9000

• CATEGORIES: CJ5, M-38A1 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Craig spotted this one. It is mostly a CJ-5.The body is civilian also (side of the body is stamped “Jeep”), but it has an M-38A1 dash.

“Posting up my 1957 Jeep CJ. It’s a CJ-5 made by willys overland and is dressed up to look like an M38-A1 Which is the military version on this jeep model. I’ve owned it for a little over 2 years, the previous owner started a frame off restoration and was working toward the military theme but lost interest. I decided to source the rest of the parts and finish it off. It’s completely rust free and everything works. The 4cylinder motor runs great and the 3-speed manual transmission shifts well. The 4wheel drive works as well and has a high and low range with front manual locking hubs.

It has 5 good BFG AT/KOs and runs about 55mph down the road with no issues. Has brand new paint and decals and working lights and gauges. The only issues are the rear pinion seal leaks and the generator needs to be rebuilt. It runs fine without it I just keep a tender on the battery and never have a probkem. Comes with a dummy 50 Cal mounted in the back. I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing but if you’re interested feel free to call or text and I can give you further details. This has been a great jeep and lots of fun just time to move on to something else. Looking to Get $9000 but will entertain reasonable offers if you’re a serious buyer”
