(04/20/2019) The M-38 has a few updates. This might have a set of Kelly Hubs.

“Love classic old Jeeps and would like a project? My husband was restoring this Jeep with a friend when he got ill. He has now died, and the Jeep is not finished. In fact, the engine is the only thing almost finished. The rest is still to be done. His intent was to put only the best in this Jeep that he was going to keep for himself.

(09/28/2018) Not sure how much value is here.

“Two Willys Jeeps for sale, **NO TITLES**
Best I can tell they are:

1952 M38, no drivetrain (engine, trans or transfer case), has front and rear axles.

1955 CJ3, complete with drivetrain (doesn’t run).

Will NOT separate, you are getting two for the price of one!
Make me an offer!”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.

(04/05/2019) Runs.

“Started life as a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep. Has a Buick V6 engin, runs but needs work “ radiator rebuild, water pump, brakes, etc.” This is a project vehicle selling as is.”

Doesn’t look too bad for the price.

https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/sacramento-1950-m38-willys-with-serial/6861233757.html

“The pictures speak for themselves, no engine. 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 $1,000 is the lowest it will be advertised for.”

There could be value here. Might have an M-38 body.

https://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/cto/d/grapeview-willys-jeep/6859725791.html

“Runs and drives 2000 firm”

The passenger side indents are gone, so I suspect this has seen some body work.

https://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/cto/d/lewisville-1951-willys-m38-military-jeep/6857494395.html

“This Jeep has been in my family for over 40 years. I have owned it for over 20. It has new battery, water pump, starter, and ignition coil. This has never been titled. Comes with a bill of sale if you want to title. Great for the deer lease of off-road parks. Has a new removable tow bar, spray in bed liner in the tub, large Ramsey winch. 2wd/4wd hi/low all work as designed. This has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system like the CJ Jeeps”

Listed under varying years (1948, 1953, & 1954), this is looks to be an M-38 Chassis, which means it is none of those years (1950-1952).

“1948 Willys Jeep, flathead 4cyl.everything rebuilt ten years ago by professional military Jeep mechanic. Never finished out. Over $3000 in parts.”

“Jeep Willy’s project. 327 Chevy, 350 auto transmission, Warn locking hubs on all 4 wheels, winch. Needs tires. Must be trailered, not drivable.”

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).

No obvious rust.

“Nice running Jeep. Good for running around at the ranch or hunting lease.’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

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: Price dropped to $4000.

(02/02/2019) This has some PA Air guard history.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.

(02/04/2019) This is listed as a CJ-3a, but may well be an M-38. I can’t quite tell if this has a battery cowl hole or not.
