The body has had some work.

“1951 Willys M38 military Jeep. Runs great. Good frame and drive line. Body is a little rough. 4×4 converted from 24 volts to 12.”

Bill shared this one. It has an OD, a front PTO with a winch, and maybe the Hudson steering upgrade (can’t tell for sure).

“This Jeep is pretty cool
It’s a rebuilt Buick V6
And new brakes, new wheel cylinders, a new master cylinder, a new clutch and pressure plate…a new starter, locking rear hubs, O/D.. A power take-off wench, back bench seat, 2 front seats, and a tow bar..
It runs great, looks good.. Just needs the lights rewired.

No obvious rust.

“Very nice Willys in good shape. Runs and drives well. Includes extras. $5,500 OBO”

Might be some value here.

“I purchased this Willy’s several months ago as a long term project for a relative. They’ve chosen not to take it on and now it could be your project.

The pictures speak for themselves, no engine or transmission. The frame is straight and solid, while the body is in decent condition for an almost 70 y/o vehicle. Some small rust areas, but shouldn’t be a big issue for the right person with fabricating skills. There’s no title.

Feel free to check it out, but I’m absolutely firm on the price.”

UPDATE: Still Available.

(01/19/2019) Has some updates, including an f-head engine. Seems in good shape.

“Perfect hunting wagon! No title comes with Bill of sale 4 Cylinder Starts and drives”

Seller has listed this as a 1941, but clearly it’s an M-38. The sides have been modified.

https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/mason-1941-willys-jeep/6820972802.html

“1941 Willys jeep with five digit serial number. One of the first 10,000 made that year. Serial number denotes it was made for the Marine Corp. MC66582. It has been converted to 12 volt and was running since conversion. Motor turns freely and will not take much to get running.”

Looks to be an M-38 with a CJ-3A windshield.

Dan’s selling this M-38 which was used inside an NC factory for years.

https://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/d/east-sandwich-1952-jeep-willys/6810123462.html

“This 1952 M-38 Jeep Willys is in very good condition. I use it locally on Cape. It has a tow bar to pull behind another vehicle and a basket to fit into the trailer hitch for carrying coolers, etc. I also have other miscellaneous parts and supplies that will be included.

This Jeep was used inside a factory in NC for many years. My Dad purchased it and my brother fixed it up and took very good care of it. I now have it garaged on Cape and occasionally drive it to the golf course. It runs and drives well.

I ask that potential buyers provide me with a phone number so I can call to discuss.”

I’m not sure how much value is here.

View all the information on eBay

“Genuine Willys Overland Jeep M38 Army Military issue 1951
This little Willys M38 has been painted blaze hunter orange but under that it still wears its original army olive drab green! Does not have glass in the windshield frame. Jeep still retains much of its original attire including: seats, wheels, tires, blackout lights, fuel tank, tail-gate, bumper, bumperettes, serial plate, and many other small items that usually get stripped after 66 years. Even the US 5 gallon gas can is 1951!

The tub itself is actually in good shape, the only real serious cancer resides under the gas tank as pictured. It’s has a seam split in that area that was created for drainage. Also, a few holes punched out with a screwdriver in the storage compartment for drainage.

This jeep does NOT include an engine, but I have a complete working Willys L134 flat-head 4 cylinder engine that could be included with the sale. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in adding.

I currently do not have the title, the lady I bought it from lost it in her house?? She did give me a photograph of the title.

Over-all this army Jeep is a great candidate for a restoration project! These Jeep’s are legends, they worked hard for the soldiers who fought, bled and died for freedom…”
