“Selling my 1952 Korean war military M38 jeep. Runs very good and shifts fine. Engine does smoke but has 12-13 p.s.i. oil pressure at idle warm so I suspect valve guide seals are in order. See compressions below. Many new parts including brake master cylinder, all wheel cylinders and pre bent brake line kit. ($250.00) Brakes work great! New correct fuel tank ($450.00) Original included with purchase. 12 volt, 3 wire alternator conversion. New12 volt gauge package. Ammeter, temperature, fuel gage and oil pressure all work. New head gasket with cylinders inspected with no scoring or cracks. Mating surfaces hand stoned and new high quality fel-pro gasket installed. Compressions are 110, 110,110, 106 respectively. Engine has original overhaul tag still installed as shown. A lot of stuff goes with this towards restoration. Has a 24 volt wiper motor installed that does work if hooked up but it is a little slow as it is now a 12 volt system.

Front floor boards do have some rust but it is in no means a “Flintstones Mobile”. Rear floor is good. Cowl battery box is in great shape. There is a small rust spot below driver’s door as seen. Ex Air Force “Personnel Services” jeep that was than delivered to the Civil Air Patrol. It has been modified to except a civilian top. Even has a heater that works great!! Comes with the 5-15″ civilian tires and wheels that are on it, plus 6-16″ military wheels as shown in the pictures. There is NO body filler on this and only very minor dents. Windshield glass is in like new condition with no fading. Paint is ugly but if you have some imagination you can see the potential. Frame and bumpers are in great shape but the front will need minor straightening. All lights are working as they should, including “Black out” marker lights but the right rear tail light is wired to the left so that they both work at the same time versus the military configuration that only one side worked at a time depending on the light switch position. Horn is functional but not connected as it is missing the rod that goes in the steering column. Can easily be made as the specs are on the interweb. This is one fun vehicle to drive! Be the first one on your block to have one!! Sold with bill of sale only.”

Doesn’t run. Has PTO winch.

“Selling a 1952 Willys Jeep. I don’t know everything about it — haven’t heard it run in a while — but now I’d call it fair condition. Selling as is. My Father used and maintained through the years. With some light maintenance, perhaps carburetor or battery attention, I’m sure “the huntin’ Jeep” would work great. Or could be a good parts donor.

Once a very cool flat fender jeep, looks WWII style, it’s complete and was working when parked. Engine is a Chevy 350, Muncie transmission, big power driven winch, roll bar, alum mag wheels. A tow hitch was around at one time. Asking $3200.”

“I bought a jeep project to learn rebuilding by. The people was to be involved to help is not here any more so I’m letting it go for a super price and will have to buy one much smaller. I only work with clear titles IN MY NAME and not like others that sell by bill of sales or in other people’s names. The amount of items not installed on it yet is in boxes and are new. The list is vast and it has had a lot done to it and very recent. Everything works on it and is ready to be inspected, lights, horn, 4×4 stick, etc.
