This lacks glass and a bumper at the very least.

“I have a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep up for(Sale) or (Trade)-($4800). It was painted with real military paint about two years ago. With the famous U.S star on the hood and the white walled tires it truly takes you back in time. It starts and idles good could use a quick carb clean. Other than that it runs great, especially switching within the high&low, and also 4X4 with just a quick movement of the levelers.”

“For sale is my 1951 Willys Jeep. I have had it for about 4 years and although it is now running, I have run out of money and time to finish the work so my loss is your gain. I am not certain of the value of this vehicle, but after research, the price seems fair.

This was purchased from a family who owned it for many years. They used it as a hunting/4 wheel adventure vehicle in Colorado since the early 70s. They lived in the Ardmore area. The Jeep had not run for many years when I bought it, but some small work and the engine fired up.

Everything seems original except the wheels, tires and paint. I have the original spare and gas tank, as well as the original wiper parts. The seats are in great shape. There is a crack in the windshield. The other owner added the roll bar (see pics). It can be removed easily. The Jeep has almost no real rust. The tool box under the passenger seat is rusted out (typical) and there is a little spot of rust in the drivers side floor pan. The great thing about these, if you are not familiar, is they are highly collectable so parts are easy to find. Either new or refurbished.

The engine is the original 4 cyl Willys engine. The snorkel is not attached or included.

This Jeep will run, but smokes a little. It will roll, but not drive. I don’t want to sell it, but simply must for the money. I planned on using it for my hunting trips.

I have…

Cleaned the gas tank.
Ripped the plywood flooring and carpet out (yes, they put plywood under the carpet.)
Rebuilt the original single barrel carb
Replaced small parts such as fuel filter, etc.

What I know is wrong…

It has some bad seals, etc., but the main problem I know if is the shifter does not move in the tranny. Not sure, but assume the tranny is frozen/rusted. The brakes, etc., will all need to be worked on.”

1951 M-38 Birmingham, AL $7000

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

UPDATE: The price has dropped to $5000 and the jeeps’ been cleaned up since it was last listed.

(07/31/2012) “Asking $5000 OBO. I’ll entertain trade offers on anything of equal value. Needing a 60 gal air compressor and media blast and welding equipment (no arc stick welders).

I have a 1951 Willys M38 that is 90% road ready.
The Willys needs an oil line to the oil filter bath unit replaced (I’m planning on replacing it next weekend) and a battery to run – that’s it.
The front passenger side tire has a slow leak – I haven’t bothered to find the source yet as I’m working on it in my garage and hasn’t bothered me.
There is some painted-over rust / rot in the passenger side floorboard and the tool storage box under the passenger side seat.
The windshield is cracked but you can get a new one for less than $150.

The trailer is road ready and the tires are in great shape. I just pulled it 30+ miles with a Nissan Pathfinder and it pulled perfectly.
Some of the wood rail sections could be replaced but they are solid. I don’t have the canvas.
There is some rust but most is just scale. There are a few rust / rot spots that could use repair but nothing major and you can easily use it as it sits.
The lights look to be aftermarket replacements. They don’t work but I think it’s just the ground wire. I’ll look into it this weekend too.
This was designed for a deuce and a half truck but if you flip the pintle on the trailer you can lower the tongue height by as much as twelve inches and pull it all day with the M38.”

1952 M-38 Wichita Falls, Tx **Status Unknown**

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

UPDATE: Price now $8500 (Previously, there was no price). Status Unknown.

“Additional photos and information upon request. Price negotiable. Below Jeep shown in Memorial Day Parade 2010.”

The body of this Jeep is in excellent condition. Engine was rebuilt by excellent mechanics. Water pump is not new but appears to be fine. New thermostat, new starter, generator checks good, new radiator and belts, new springs for a slightly softer ride, transmission and rear-end rebuilt – new seals, etc., new wheel bearings and seals, new tie-rod joints, etc, all lights work except right tail light (have not checked out problem), new wiring harness, 24 volt system.

ISSUES: Carburetor air-wrong pipe between carburetor and air cleaner, grill needs to be adjusted to be vertical, fuel gauge doesn’t work – could be gauge or fuel-sending unit in gas tank (new fuel-sending unit on hand), temperature gauge – installed a new sensor in engine block but it still doesn’t work…gauge? sensor?, Amp meter gauge doesn’t work., 3 data plaques need to be attached (plaques and drive rivets on hand), Brakes-everything is new or rebuilt – new brake lines, new brake master cylinder, new brake cylinders, drums radius ground but still brakes are not as good as they should be – glazed? Hard linings?, Lights – right tail light is not working, Engine timing needs check, Carburetor low speed adjustment needs check, New windshield wiper motors installed but wiper is inoperative – should check valve and connections-could be vacuum pump-may need rebuilt kit?, New tires but wrong size…7:00-16 should be 6:00-16, two small holes in seat covers – daughter stood on seats with high heels during Veterans Day parade-bad move -otherwise all seats are new, emergency brake works but not correctly-wrong brake cable, horn is hooked up but honks constantly-short?, no top canvas or side curtains, I have the 2 original doors but canvas needs replacement. Mileage: 200 miles since rebuild.

Note: I started the project in 1993, to build the M38. I acquired a 1952 CJ5 that had a near perfect body and modified by adding the battery box in the cowl and adding all the hardware to make it identical to a military Jeep. Bought and had a top-noch rebuild on an original engine. Purchased new or very good original accessories such as starter, generator, etc, new paint and markings of the Jeep I used in the Korean War. If the issues I’ve listed were addressed, the Jeep should be identical to a true military issued vehicle. I used the CJ5 Title to license as an antique vehicle.
