UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.

Roger has this nice M-38 for sale.

“Very good condition. All systems operate. The restoration is now several years old, however; the Jeep has been used for parades and shows, only. Of course it becomes more valuable each year. It comes with a period radio and is equipped with the Fording system. Also has period tool pouch and tools. It is all original including 24 volts. (new batteries) It would be a great addition to Car or Military Memorabilia collectors. Also have trailer which is built to haul Jeeps. Trailer available for $2000. Many manuals and some spare parts; starter, regulator, etc. Many pictures available.”

“1952 U.S. Military M38 Jeep
302 Ford V8 Mild Build
Stick shift 4 speed Transmission and twin stick transfer case

This is a great running and driving Jeep. Originally a real U.S. Military Jeep. It has custom headers with leg burner exhaust. Power steering with a cooler. Remote Oil filter and cooler. Griffin radiator. Everything runs cool and has a external cooler.

It starts right up with the optima battery. Mallory ignition and box. Has a gear reduction starter. Ford 9 inch rear end with 5.38 gears and Detroit locker. Dana 44 front end 5.38 with disc brakes and Detroit locker as well. T18 4speed with first gear being 6.5 to 1 ratio. No overdrive but can drive on the highway fine. High-steer steering. SOA lift. Dual fuel tanks. 33 X12.50 R15 on real American racing wheels. Spare tire. Brake proportioning valve.

Full roll cage. Soft top (full) and bikini top. 2 sets of soft doors. Gm tilt steering column. Custom electric windshield wipers. Ramsey 6k winch. High lift jack. Has a hitch. CB antenna whip. On board air compressor.

I’m sure I’m forgetting a few things but I’m sure you get the idea. This baby is built and ready to go. Approximately 20k on the motor. You literally drive this thing anywhere. Tons of money has been invested plus time. Sacrifice at 7000.00. Current registration (tags) and clean title pink slip in hand.”

1952 M-38 Santa Rosa, CA $8200

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Looks solid.

“Okay, you’ve decided you want a classic Military Jeep but you don’t want to pay restored or Family Heirloom prices…
You’ve looked for a long time (off and on) but you just can’t quite put yourself in the right frame of mind with the right Jeep that fits your tight budget. You need to ask yourself, “Am I able to accept something that I can fix and or restore while I’m using it ?” or “Do I need to pay more for one that is all done?”. Most Flat Fender “wannabees” tend to be in the $5,000 to $12,000 range for a “Useable Driver” that doesn’t have major rust or body damage.

Here it is! It’s a “Runner Driver” that looks and acts the part. Granted, …it’s not perfect, but it really is better than most you’ve seen and it’s at a reasonable price.
The Jeep has an out of state Wisconsin title so you need to bring it up to date in the state of California.

Originally the Jeep cost over $11,000 so our loss is your gain. You better not pass on this one because it won’t last at this price.

The engine runs good and doesn’t smoke but the compression numbers are tired but not out of the game. Probably could use a valve adjustment, one valve taps when cold but diminishes as it warms up.”

1952 M-38 Vermont No Price

UPDATE: Still Available.

(01/10/2017) Seller has other military vehicles and items for sale, too.

I am selling my Willys M38 Jeep that was finished as a MB clone. This 1952 military jeep was built for the Korean war and is a true military jeep, but this one has the MB grille/bucket lights and older style windshield added. 

Many new parts. The Willys runs and drives well and is parade ready. No oil leaks to speak of. Maybe one or two drips at the most. I drive this jeep every other day to the store and everybody honks and waves. This is a great jeep for you to have fun with the kids and grandkids as it has all the safety upgrades, such as blinkers, tail lights, seat belts, head lights, black out lights, and horn. 

This jeep starts every time winter or summer. 4×4 works as it should. Not perfect, but ready to drive and have fun with. It cruises about 40 mph. The speedometer reads about 8 mph too fast so you’ll think you’re driving 48 mph! Clean Kansas Title. 

If you arrange shipping, I can drive it to a local car dealership if needed. Buyer arranges all the shipping and pays the costs. Jeep will not be released until all money is received and cash is in the bank. I am also open to taking a $1,000 down payment and then the rest of the payment on pickup. Throw me a note before buying it out and we can figure it out. – See more at: http://www.warjeeps.com/mjs/sale17/adm011/adm011.html#sthash.9lVRpkBG.dpuf ”

1951-m38-chatham-nj

“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC21962

This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Huntsville Alabama in 2014. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 25 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been moderately used during it’s active life and was in need of rebuild. The frame and drive train were complete but needed some minor repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine that was just professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Machine shop in Easton Pa. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but many of the other components are original Willys. The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, has professionally rebuilt military Carter YF carburetor .

Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts. Continue reading
