The yellow CJ-3A looks like it has a very narrow set of Desert Dogs. Unclear if the yellow one runs (probably not).

This looks solid.

“This jeep has been in stored indoors for the better part of 30 years. It had a SBC 327 put in back in the 70s. I recently went thru it and replaced a good portion of parts. All new brakes, wheel cylinders and master cylinder with the drums machined. Had the fuel tank professionally cleaned and coated new fuel pickup, new fuel lines , pump and Holley carb. New seals and gaskets for the whole driveline. Regasketed the engine, new radiator, water pump and hoses. New tires and dodge ram wheels. It has the overdrive unit which allows for highway driving.”

The seller isn’t correct about the M-38 being the rarest production jeep. There were others.

“Willys M-38 combat Jeep..Rebuilt transmission,transfer case,and axles,new clutch, Engine rebuild by previous owner…….All new gauges…..Converted to 12 volt
Good tub and body except hole in passenger floor.
New seatbrackets and gas tank, OriginalSpare tire and gas can and brackets
Ive put 6,000 plus miles on it but it sat last three years. Carb is dirty but it will idle
Needs carb cleaned and new exhaust manifold and exhaust.

This is a Ordinance (Army) Jeep,Repainted by hand in Marine corp colors, The insignia on the front bumper is that of a marine glider squadron…..

The M-38 is the rarest of the production jeeps Having only made 30,000 total….specifically for Korea…….all other designs produced 200,000 +

The only proof of actual overseas service on a jeep is the paint job
When one unit transferred out…..the motor pool equipment stayed….
Then it was assigned to the next unit coming in…..
In this case Army left and marines took over thus the repaint. (563-571-6998)”

There may be some value here.

“1951 Willys Jeep – AS IS
The drive shaft is not currently installed because the jeep was towed from NC in the 1990’s and it has been stored in a barn since then. The engine block appears to be frozen but I have not had a mechanic look into the engine at all. All parts appear to be original parts and in fair shape. There are a lot of rust holes in the body and the top has a few minor tears but the zippers work. Windshield is not cracked. Jeep can be towed.

This looked great on the outside, so I was a bit surprised to see the Ford engine on the inside. I’m sure it’s a fine engine . . . I just wasn’t expecting to see it.

“This is a military M-38 1/4 ton jeep, made in 1951 by Willys for the US Army. The M-38 was produced in the smallest numbers of the flatfender jeeps, and is highly collectible. I have owned this jeep for 16 years and have done almost every necessary repair in that period of time. When I purchased the jeep it came with a Ford 2.3 litre replacement engine instead of the original Willys L-head. I decided to keep that engine as it had better performance. The engine has been rebuilt, the transmission replaced, the front end has been rebuilt, brakes rebuilt, it has been re wired (12 volt), has new wheels, new gauges installed, a complete Beachwood Canvas enclosure with side curtains and doors, the correct military radio (not hooked up) with whip antennae, rifle mount on dash, pioneer tools on the side, and many other things that make this an ideal parade vehicle. Everything works. It is a very dependable daily driver. I keep it in excellent condition. The only repair that should be done is to replace the floor pans, which have some decay. This jeep is made to look original. However, the Ford engine and the ramsey electric winch on the front are not original. If the buyer is interested, I have a spare Willys L-head engine that has not been rebuilt that can go with the jeep.”

1952 M-38 Hershey, PA $5000

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

This hasn’t been started in a while, but looks like it is a good use-as-is or restoration project.

“1952 Willys M38 Jeep.
I bought this as a future project over 12 years ago and while the future is here, I have not started the project.
I bought the jeep from Montana and since I have had it it has always been stored indoors. Due to the hard top, it is in great condition as far as rust goes.
I have started and driven the jeep so know the mechanical work but have not started it in probably 2 years.

GOOD
Clear MN title (I am from MN originally)
Remarkably rust free for the age
Mechanically sound

Not so good
Much of the M38 specific equipment is missing
There are some dents and dings from 60 years of use
Due to the age and probably lack of use, it tends to mark it’s territory.

Don’t know if this is good, not so good or just interesting but looks like this was an arctic jeep. I can’t say exactly what that entails but there is some additional heating components inside that are “interesting” I think it is a somewhat unusual military modification for the cold. Explains the hard top as well.”
