Looks ready for the road, but it is also a good example of how the investment of time and money doesn’t always equal the market value.

“I had this jeep completely restored and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I need to sell to get a work truck. I would consider trading for a 4×4 diesel or gas crew cab flatbed dually; or just a good newer 2500 4×4.

Please do not waste my time with random offers and just plan junk. I have 33k invested in this jeep with supporting documentation.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.

Includes some combat rims, so there could be some value here.

“Life gets in the way, I would love to restore this old girl but I just don’t have the time. I’ve spent a lot of time taking everything apart and starting to clean things up for a full ground up restoration but my time is needed elsewhere and I would like this to go to someone who will take care of her. There is only one cancer spot on the body tub and it’s under the passenger seat in the compartment and it’s not very big, should be a simple fix. I have a bunch of other parts with this as well. A few combat rims,CJ2A parts like a frame, fenders, trans/transfer case, axles. This is a project so you will need a trailer to get her home, I will help with what I can, but the frame is hard to move.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

Anyone recognize that dash?

“Complete and mostly original Willy’s. Converted to 12V system. Was running when parked two years ago. Tow bar, winch, hard top with doors. Used for hunting for many years.”

Unclear if it runs.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

(04/25/2015) Needs a little work.

“1952 Willys Jeep Powered by a Weber carbureted 2.0L Ford with a 3 speed behind it. Everything else is original. 32×9 Swampers on 16″ aluminum wheels.

She needs a little work to be road worthy, but as she sits she does run and drive. The 2.0 Smokes a little, and the Brakes need some attention (It’s been sitting for quite a few years) but overall its a cool little Jeep.
As you can see from the pictures the body has some rough patches.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.

Given the warn overdrive, there is some value.

“This is a true military Jeep. I bought this solely for the purpose of the soft top bows for my resto project. This is what a trail rig, mud bogger, or hunting vehicle would have looked like from this early era of 4×4’s. There are some sought-after parts on it:

-Warn overdrive
-lockout hubs
-working electric windshield wiper
-pintle hook & bumperettes
-side steps
-wide off-road tires

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.

No title or data plates.

“I’ve got a early 50’s Willys M38 I’d like to sell. Trying to clear some room for more jeeps hah, and this one deserves a good home. Only made from 50-52 for the military with less than 45,000 ever made. Tool indents are there and that area is in good shape. It’s essentially a CJ-3A with tool indents made for the military. The tub and frame are in good shape for the most part. Has rust but very restorable or just get going like it is. Pervious owner just used on the farm. Was last driven a couple years ago, it will need to be gone through. Hood has a ridiculous scoop on it where someone at some point in this jeeps life had swapped a later model F head motor in it. But does have the L head in it now. Tires old air. Everything is there except for the windshield and seats. There are some kind of seats in there now not sure what they came from. No data plates or title. Just a bill of sale. A cool jeep that needs some love. I was going to keep it but I have another and I need space. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.

(05/16/2015) The grille and frame appear to be M-38, but the body and windshield aren’t.

“For sale is an M38 Jeep. I hate to part with it, but I can’t give it the attention and care it deserves with a new kid and an upcoming move. I’ve owned the Jeep for just under two years, and during that time I’ve spent a lot of time refurbishing the electrical system, oil pressure lines, and hand brake. Additionally, I’ve purchased new gauges, NOS tail lights, master light control switch, seat belts, and more… The motor is an aftermarket L-134 that runs GREAT! The Jeep has a clear title and is ready for a quick and easy sale. If you’re an American, have a passion for Jeeps and their history, and want a great M38… then this the perfect summer purchase for you!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.

Despite the condition, there’s some parts value here.

“see pics, its incomplete”

UPDATE: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600

Might be some value here.

“I bought this to restore 10 years ago and never built a garage to do it in. It was a complete Jeep when I bought it and I disassembled to restore. I have no desire to put it back together. It has very little rust and will be an easy restore. All parts are still there as I haven’t moved them since tearing it down. Would consider things that go boom on trade also. It has no title.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000

That rear tires seems like it fits the rim oddly to me.
