UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
The seller listed the price at $20,000, but the seller mentions potential buyers shouldn’t bid unless serious about buying. So, I guess he is taking bids?
“This 1952 Willys M38 Jeep is in great condition restored and has its original body. The fire extinguisher, winch, radio seats, water jug, canvas roof and seats, rims, cosmetics, and engine are all original and have had minor tune ups to maintain there beauty. There were about 45,000 of the jeeps made during the Korean War and they are fun to drive and awesome to inspect. When I drive it everyone looks and is intrigued by its essence and cool looks. Please feel free to contact me any time with questions. Please don’t bid if you are not seriously interested about purchasing This vehicle. You must be 18 years or older to bid. Warranty: Unless stated otherwise, this vehicle is being sold ” as is, where is””

” M38 1951 Military Jeep/Converted to look like a Willys WW2 Jeep
WORKS GREAT NO PROBLEMS !!!!
This is the perfect Jeep for the WW2 reenactor or someone who wants a dependable vehicle for parades or for 4×4 mudding.
I was told this is a rare Jeep as not many were made. Compared to the Willys WW2 Jeep.
This vehicle is a Willys 1951 M38 Military Jeep with a repro grill, hood, and windshield and new canvas to make it look like a Willys WW2 jeep has black out lights on dash, rarely used since reconditioned.
Gas tank has been relined so no rust, battery has been converted so its modern 12 volt not vintage, fuel pump runs great carburator has been rebuilt, new metal gas line, new distrubutor, new radiator, new tires no wear cylinoid starter was put on it so it starts right up.
Canvas alone is worth $1000.00 you get the top and windshield cover from Beechwood canvas .
The M38 was faster more robust than the willys and can 4×4 better. The transmission is better too.
It was rebuilt painted and has turn signals added so you can drive around safely. No rust inside and out.
Other mechanical things were done to it to make it run flawlessly.
It was redone electronically so it functions like a modern car you really can’t tell the differnce when you look at the engine unless your a jeep fanatic.
The points were taken out and replaced by a computer chip for faster start up and less tune ups.”
This is a 1951 M-38 with some MB elements.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure WWII ended for Minnesotans in 1945 too.

“I have for sale a 1952 Willys M38 Military jeep. It has a Tennessee title. The jeep needs brakes, exhaust leak fixed and the gas tank cleaned and sealed. This jeep is 24 volt electrical system with all the electrical parts still there. It runs and drives but does not stop.

“What you are looking at is a 1950 Willys M38 (MC) military Jeep. These Jeeps were used during the Korean war era. This Jeep has been motor-pool restored and is in near perfect condition. It has been converted to a 12 volt system for the convenience of finding parts locally. I installed a left hand tail light on the right side to make it easier for other drivers to see for safer driving. Drives great. Original 134L engine runs strong with great oil pressure! Original T-90 transmission shifts like new! Older replacement Body tub. No bondo. All metal. Fuel gauge and e-brake are not operational and could use windshield wiper blades. Four wheel drive works as it should! Tires are Nos mud and snow grips that I found in a warehouse and are in good shape. Clear title. It is a hop in and go piece of U.S. history. All you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. I will repair anything that may need replacing for a 6 month period as long as the Jeep and the parts to make the repair are both brought to me to do so.
asking 13,500 OBO will consider cash offers. Also on ebay.
Call/text 601-398-7433 ask for Bryan.”
