It runs. Looks like rust is lurking at the steps.

“Sellling my 1951 M38 Willys. This is the military version of the CJ-3A. Korean War veteran.
Does not have the original L-head engine, it was replaced by an F willys engine.
Unrestored, unmolested (aside from engine swap), retains original Army marking.
Starts & Runs, brakes need attention. 4wd with fording original equipment.
This one would need little to make it a driver keeping the patina.

Selling on a BILL OF SALE, as it comes from Georgia and they don’t issue titles for antique cars. Easy to get the FL title and I am more than willing to help on that matter.”

Needs brake work.

“This is a real army issue willys that was in the korean war which means it has a lot of heavy duty upgrades from the civilian model, it’s pretty much all original except the front bench seat but i have the stock buckets too and the front bumper trailer hitch for towing it as well. Just had a brand new carb and fuel pump put on it and the thing runs great and only has 30,000 miles on it! This thing gets lots of attention and is a blast to drive and will climb up anything! Needs rear brake slave cylinder rebuilt, 20 or 30 dollar fix other than that there are no mechanical issues.
I love this little willys jeep and don’t really want to sell it but current situations demand it.
4,800 obo which is a very reasonable price!”

Mark listed this over at warjeeps.com.

“What you are looking at is an original 1951 M38 Jeep. The Jeep has the correct MC engine, but does have a repairable crack above the distributor. A correct RMC engine block will come with it. The body is pretty straight. It has the usual floor rust. Most of the rust through area is in the driver front floor, but just where the flat panels are meaning it would be an easier repair job if you know how. The engine is not locked and spins freely. The Jeep has most of its original paint from the Korean War era and also still has its hood numbers both are pretty unusual to see on a Jeep as old as this. I would prefer this old steel soldier to find a good home to bring it back to life!  I don’t usually sell my project Jeeps, but my dually needs 6 new tires.”
