“or sale is my M38 Willys military jeep serial number MC22273. The M38 is the military version of the CJ3A, the M38 was used in the Korean war. My M38 is in the middle of a frame off build, my plan was to lift, run larger tires, and add a diesel swap. I decided to change plans and let someone else either finish what I started or restore the M38 to her original glory. The M38 ran and drove prior to the build, however it did lack power. I’m not sure if due to engine wear and tear or if the L134 is just an underpowered engine. The frame has been wire wheeled clean and sprayed military grade paint. It is not bent nor cracked. The original mount mounts have been removed and replaced with the diesel motor mounts. Current state the vehicle is the red body on frame pictures. The first pictures were prior to teardown. I have $10K worth of brand new parts and lots of parts that are included that I’ll likely leave off listing.

“I’m selling my 47 Willys original military 4 cylinder engine changed over to 12 volt system which will provide power for
extra lites and power winch and spot lite . Runs great – starts all the time even in cold weather . There is removable rack
for the rear to hall wood or hunted game . top and doors included 35×15 Mud tires on aluminum rims
Clear title and roadable cheaper than a side by side and can be plated for the road”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

Seller has listed the price as $4444, but I doubt that’s the price. The ad is a little odd.

(01/18/2018) “I have a unrestored 1951 Willys M38 Military Jeep for sale.
The engine starts and runs good and drivetrain seems good.
Black in color and still has 24 volt system.
It has some rust in the floor and would probably need a floor pan kit.
The breaks are not working and I think it was the Master Cyl. leaking.
I’ve had it stored for about 15 years and it’s always been garage kept sense I’ve owned it.
For more info give me a call.”

Lots of work was done on this.

“Genuine Willys Overland Jeep M38 Army Military issue 1952! (The last year of this breed).
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, black out 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 1952!

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 screw driver in the storage compartment for drainage.

This sale does include a complete Willys L134 flat-head 4 cylinder engine with just about everything to put it on the road again! Not sure what the actual mileage is, it reads 00000??

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, bleed and died for freedom…”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

Could be worth a look. Pics are small.

“M38. Jeep is in great shape. This jeep was built over the last 24 months. Tons of $ and time have been put into this jeep. Everything was either rebuilt or replaced. Rebuilt trans has less than 10 miles on it. Runs, Drives and stops like a M38 should. Has a title. No top or doors. $8000 Cash or trade for something old and cool with wheels.”

The windshield, grille, gas tank, and lack of drain hole suggests this is an M-38.
