UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

Mike, who’s admitted he’s addicted to searching for jeeps everywhere (welcome to the club!), spotted this one for sale. He reports there is rust and no data plates. The odd part about this M-38 is the lack of a driver’s side filler hole.

1951 M-38 Chelsea, AL **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

(05/28/2013) The seller needs to adjust several of the claims, but I do find the spool on the front of this jeep interesting.

“This is not a civilian clone it’s a true military unit.
1 of 40,000 made – the rarest of the Willys military Jeeps.
It’s not running because it needs plug wires and tuning.
The front passenger side tire inner tube needs to be replaced.
The body is not perfect – the worst is the tool box under the passenger seat – a replacement costs $80.”

Year? M-38 Ames, IA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A, M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE**SOLD** Was $2500.

Steve’s friend is selling this jeep. It has a 2A body.

“1950-51 Willys Military M38. The tub is off a 46 CJ2a. It is still 24 volt. The frame, grill, engine, drivetrain, and Arctic Top are all original m38. It has a new fuel tank and sender, new waterproof ignition parts, water pump. It also comes with new steering parts, new brake parts and master cylinder. The seat frames are painted and it has new od green canvas covers. The aluminum hard top is an original military overland “Arctic Top”. The ignition parts have been replaced and the carb has been rebuilt. The engine runs and I have driven it around the parking lot, but the brakes do not work (there are new brake parts included). The Tub has some rust, but the rest of the body is in decent shape. I had planned to replace the tub with an original M38 tub whenever I found one. This is a great restoration project. It is currently titled as a 1946 CJ2a. $2500 OBO

We were told when we bought it that it was used on the Boone, IA reserve base many years ago.
Email with question and I can give you my number and we can talk about it.
Not looking for trades. Thankyou”

Year? Flattie Bonduel, WI $1400

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

This is a mix of parts.

“I have a willys that was started to be restored a number of years ago and never finished. The frame was painted, new shocks, new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, spring kits, rubber brake lines. Has a military 1952 tub, hood, and grill with the flip head lights from a earlier Ford GPW. I have new windshield rubber and seal, new mirrors, and a few other new parts. There are some extra parts that go with it, front axel shafts, starters, brackets, extra tail gate, and more. It is missing some parts, gauges, tail lights and others. The flat head 4 cyl engine is tight and only good for a core. Radiator and drive shafts are sitting in the jeep. I also have an extra transmission and case with a PTO on it that will go with it. This jeep is in need of lots of work but has a nice body that needs very little work. I have a 46 title with it that was signed so you will also need to fill out a form with the title to transfer it to your name, have had to do a couple like this, not a big deal.

$1400, email or text 7one58five34868
Would trade for good name brand tire changer or 2 bay tool box, Matco or Snapon”
