UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.

(08/26/2016) Runs. Has an f-head, but seller has an l-head, too.

“I got a M38 that the previous owner installed the engine out of a CJ-3B into it and as such it makes the carburetor stick out thru the hood. They also installed a hood scoop on it which was really big, so I cut it off and when I did, I found the hood to not be in such good shape. So as you see in the pics there is a huge hole in the hood that I have not got around too. I have found and purchased the correct motor for it from a guy in OHIO. I don’t know if it runs or not because I haven’t had the time to mess with it either, but the engine goes with it for the price shown. The Jeep has rust on it, it has some bondo on it, the floor pan is somewhat rusted out as well. The engine in it was running when I parked it and I haven’t messed with it much. Need to sell, I don’t have time anymore to mess with it. Too busy mowing my GRASS.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.

It runs, but no longer has the top, but it does have a standard M-38 windshield. It also includes another M-38 engine.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.

Jim spotted this one. Engine doesn’t spin, but there still may be some parts value.

“I have a 1952 jeep willys m38. There is no tub. Everything else is there, engine, trans, t case and diffs all original. I can not get motor to spin over but would definitely need to be rebuilt anyways. Has fenders hood, windshield grill. And spare tire. I apologize to all who contacted me last week as I was contemplating getting rid of it or not but it has got to go. Clean nc title”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.

That windshield doesn’t appear to fit well (gap between the cowl and windshield. It’s also not clear to me that it would hold up for long even under moderate speeds (hard to tell how it is anchored to the body).

“1952 Willy’s Army Jeep

It’s a project.

“I have been building my willys for 3 1/2 years and its time to make room for the all the new kids toys. The main focus for me has been the drive train. I put a small block chevy bored 60 over, new bearings and rings, rebuilt heads…. pretty much new parts throughout the entire engine. It is just beautiful… never fired- new babies and new job = no time! lol… It has a K case 4wd turbo 350 rebuilt, advance adapter kit to the rebuilt stock dana spicer 18 transfer case. I have drivelines, u joints, seats, 500 radiator brand new, new wiring harness, powder coated intake, powder coated water pump, 160 amp powder coated alternator, mini starter, etc… way to much to list. I just want someone to enjoy it! Mama wants it gone asap. the drivetrain is worth more than 3500- the jeep is just a bonus:) If you want to come see it please let me know. I am firm on the price! If you have something you would like to trade I am open to hear it. Cash would be best though. ”

Might have some value.

“I have a m38 project. Someone has swapped in a f head into it. The grille is in the tub for the jeep. I do have a title. I have never tired to start it.”

“For sale 51 Willy’s jeep 4×4 military”

I wonder if this is one of the M38CDNs assembled by Ford of Canada?

“Project Willys jeep or parts vehicle. Registration can be made available if re-registration is the goal. Last used in 1972. Motor does not turn. Has aftermarket hard top. YES the grill and fenders are included.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

It’s rough.

“Old rusty war jeep. Bought as a project planned to fix up, but between the truck I am fixing and this one… it’s too much right now. Needs total restoration. Made in about 1950-1952. Fun project for dad and kids or anyone looking for a neat project. I got this with no title. There is no engine. It is very very beat up and rusty also like I said NEEDS total restoration! Will require towing. For anyone who has dreamed of a restoration project that was affordable…this may be your lucky day. Would make a awesome yard art for any collector.”

The pic shows what it looked liked prior to disassembly. Seller listed this a 1953 CJ, but the body suggests it is an M-38.

“This is a 1953 cj3a. I started to rebuild the entire thing and then had other stuff come up. It is in pieces right now but it has everything you need to put it back together. It has had a V8 conversion. I have a title for it. I can even deliver it if you are close. Has disc brakes all around. Text or call me with questions.”

Looks like a project.

“52 Willys has a Marine Corps vin. Put new head gaskets, freeze plugs and valve cover gasket. Passenger side head is cracked. Has a 78 Buick Skyhawk engine. I just don’t have the time to fix it right now and need the money and it gone.”

This is a former forest service jeep. It’s got an FS data plate. It runs and drive. Seller says it is rust free.

“1951 M38 Barn find. Has been sitting inside since 1970. This jeep has never been licensed or registered for the road. It was bought at government auction and put away. As seen in pictures, there is a US Forestry plate riveted to the dash. This jeep was given to the Forestry where it was used and then sold at auction. It is rust free. Beautiful hat channel underneath. It has 28,000 original miles. It is 12 volt. I have all the original 24 volt generator, distributor, voltage regulator that goes with it. It is just the way the government sold it. It runs like a top.

Absolutely beautiful. Has original gas tank, all cleaned out and small repair. Still has the screen in the gas tank. The only thing that appears to have been added, or possibly put on by the Government before the sale, are the rims and tires. No bondo. No repairs have been made to the body. Brake master cylinder needs to be repaired or replaced. A brand new one comes with the jeep. Carburetor brand new rebuild. New battery, water pump. Ready to go. Call for more info $8,000 OBO Would consider a partial trade for WWII jeep.”

Given where the bends are in the front loop, I wonder if this was original a 3B cage.
