(09/10/2014) The front end has been updated with a hitch.

I’m helping my grandpa sell his Vintage Army Jeep. It’s in superb condition for its age, still runs like a champ, and 4×4 works great! 1951 M38 Willys US Army Jeep. It has low miles on the original engine, because it was used by a Commanding General, HQ1. It has a 2.2L four cylinder engine, manual locking hubs, 3 speed manual transmission, and a 2 speed transfer case. The vehicle only has 59,xxx original miles on it! 45,473 M38’s were built from 1950-1952, who knows how many are still drivable. Serious inquires only. This hasn’t been a beater hunting rig. It has been well taken care of. It’s a Classic! If you want to own and drive away with a piece of American History give me a call.”

(08/28/2013) It needs some parking lights in the front, but otherwise looks good.

“So here we have a very nicely built Jeep that I’m selling for a friend. First of all I would like to say the owner of this Willys took great pride in building it over the past 25 years and it shows!! Ok so Ill tell you as much as I can remember about it. Motor is a 302ci Ford (there you go Ford fans) with I think he said 25k on it. the trans is a automatic (cant remember what kind) but it is adapted with a advanced adapter plate and has a 30 split lever transfer case. the differentials are Dana 30’s but he has a 44 or 2 to go with it for the right price!! It is sitting on 35’s that look fairly new. He has extra parts to go with this also if the price is right !!”

1950 M-38 Flagstaff, AZ **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade.

“I’m thinking about trading my 1950 Willy’s Jeep for an enjoyable daily driver. It has a 283 V8, manual transmission and Dana transfer case from a 1965 chevy truck, over sized radiator, Dana axles, Flowmaster dual exhaust, and sits on 33″ tires. It’s a head turner and it’s impossible to drive around town without people asking about it or saying how cool it is. In low gear range, it’ll literally climb trees. I know, I’ve done it. It is a 1950 so it has its quirks, but it runs and drives well. I just haven’t had time for any tlc for the last couple of years and would like to see it go to a good home, while I get a car I can drive around when when the weather’s bad. I could definitely use a truck, but am open to ideas. Would love a 4wd Tahoe or Yukon with a 5.3 V8 in it…. I’m sure I’d probably take the right cash offer if it came along.”

“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!”

Motor runs.

“”BARN FIND” 1950? 1951? or 1952? US ARMY M38 Willys, this M38 can be restored and/or updated for trail use. Was not able to locate any data plates and/or serial number. The original engine was removed and replaced with a Ford straight six and as a result a portion of the fire wall was removed. Has original tub, fenders, tail gate, transfer case, axles, frame, transmission, and hood.
Gauges do not work, wiring in poor condition. Driver side floor requires patch and repair, right side floor and cargo floors in fair condition.
The jeep does start and can be driven but, will require time and effort to make it roadworthy. If you are looking for a M38 Jeep for parts or restore, this might be just for you. The M38 has the strongest flat fender frame, T90 transmission, and Dana 44 rear axle.”

1951 M-38 Richmond Hills, GA **SOLD**

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

Appears solid.

This 1951 Willys M38 is an excellent restoration candidate. It was in storage in Texas for about 20 years. It does have one small rust hole in the tub under the gas tank but otherwise its in very solid condition. The engine is not the original but it is the proper L Head 134 and it runs very well. It runs and drives, but needs the brake master cylinder replaced, I have a new one for it. Converted to 12 volt, but I do have a few 24v components to go with it. 

Georgia does not issue titles for vehicles this old so it will be sold with a bill of sale and the previous owner’s TX title and paperwork. The vehicle has been inspected by a GA law enforcement officer and its serial number certified. 

If not local call first please. This is a rare military jeep that needs the right owner who is going to preserve or restore it. Most jeeps of this vintage have been chopped up or rusted away. This is a good one! I have a set of spare axles that go with it for the asking price.”
