1954 M-38A1 Emmett, ID $3800

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

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”

1953 M-38A1 Portland, ME $3950

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

Craig shared this one.

“1952 Willys m38-a1. This is the military version of the cj5. It runs well, drives, steers and stops as it should. I was planning on driving it this summer, but I’m a bigger guy, and it is pretty tight fit for me.

This is an older restoration that is showing its age. The paint is starting to chip away, there are oil leaks, some of the patches are starting to show, but overall it appears mechanically sound and driveable.

The parking brake works, as do the vacuum operated wipers. It has been converted to 12 volt and the second battery compartment was removed to fit in a heater. The top is in good shape. 4wd works great. It has a rear seat. Asking $3950.00. I would consider trading for another antique vehicle.”
