This is a rare Ford-Canadian made M-38CDN. It’s a project.

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/421521195843161/

“Unique M38 CDN (Canadian) jeep made by Ford to Willys specs in Windsor, Ontario. Only 2135 ever assembled. Jeep contains CAR No. 52-30983 (this number was assigned to the jeep upon reception by the Canadian army base and was inscribed on the left front frame connecting to the bumper-please see photo). This particular one has been sitting in a barn for over 30 years. Unfortunately, missing windshield, hood, front right fender, registration plate, but vehicle still good for restoration or for parts. Asking USD $1,100 (CAD $1,400).”

Has some worn Desert Dogs. It could be an M-38 or might be a 2A or 3A with a replacement body.

The seller of this believes this to be one of the six M-38 pilot vehicles, also known as MC-38s: http://www.cj3a.info/sibling/m38/pilot.html …. However, after looking at the jeep, it has been modified to such an extent that even if it was one of the pilot models, there’s very little left of it. That said, I can see nothing that identifies it as an early model: 1) Serial number of MC 10149 is too late (serial number on data plates); 2) No full-floating axles (pilots had the WWII rear axles); 3) No battery box (battery box lid hinges were on the sides of the pilot vehicles); 4) wrong windshield setup  … the list goes on.

(08/18/2020) Mark posted this mostly original M-38 at warjeeps.com. It does have some floor patches.

https://semo.craigslist.org/cto/d/sikeston-1950-willys-m38-g740-army-jeep/7256366271.html

“The jeep has some rust through in the floor and hat channel on the passenger side. It does have some floor repairs already done.

It Has the following:

24 volts electrical components. All three seats, Pintle, bumperettes, spare tire carrier, jerry can and holder, top bow brackets, first aide box, gas tank (needs cleaning) four m38 wheels, engine lifting bracket, Carter 637s carb, correct vacuum fuel pump, under hood battery box and other original parts.

The engine runs well without any smoke. Running it on a auxiliary fuel tank now.

Most of this work was done some time ago and has set. Due to it setting, some of the seals are starting to fail.

New or rebuilt parts:
Engine,
Fuel pump,
Carburetor
Front axle (needs the shims checked again)
Brakes (lines, wheel cylinder and master cylinder)
Transmission
Transfer case
Exhaust (short pipe, long pipe and muffler.
Has matching number title in my name.
Things it will need:
rewired and Tires”

Engine is locked. Unclear how much value is here. It’s listed as a 1949, but clearly is an M-38.

“Just got. Motor seems locked but not too bad. All original”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500 for the holidays.

Autoquest Jeep is selling this vehicle. It’s got a replacement body, but the frame looks to be an M-38 based on the boxed front frame rails. For a good comparison of an M-38 frame vs. a CJ-3A frame check out this image from Was at the Willys M Jeeps site:

“** 1949-1952 M38 Willys Project Army Jeep, green/tan, 4 cyl flathead L motor, 3spd

Info we have is this M38 Army Jeep was restored about 30 yrs ago & was last registered for street use in 1992. Previous owner bought in 1993 to use as a hunting Jeep & was not registered for legal use on the road since that date. Was reported to be running when parked. We would recommend a full servicing @ least or a rebuild to get it back on the road.

Seller does not want to part this out.

https://westslope.craigslist.org/pts/d/grand-junction-1952-willys-m38/7238931203.html

“Started frame up restoration, lost interest. The tub is in awesome condition, for being almost 70 years old. It is not rusted out. The small parts are done and painted. The floating Dana 44 rear diff is complete with new 5:38 gears. The Dana 25 front diff needs to be assembled. Comes with tailgate, windshield, and hood, also comes with the fully functional original trans and t-case, and a spare trans and t-case. There is also a complete Best Top soft top with soft doors and the frame work. Has a clean Colorado title. Need to sell complete, I will not part it out or sell parts individually. This would be a good starter project for someone looking to go back to factory military or custom flat fender. Parts are easily sourced on the net”
