(10/18/2011) Looks in great shape, though I’m thinking painting it green will help sell it.

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

This is worth a closer look.  It has a nicely aged patina to it.  As long as it runs and drives, I’m not sure I’d want to do much more to it.

(06/12/2012) It would not surprise me if this was built on a later model CJ-5 frame given the stretched front clip.

1951 M-38 Ludington, MI **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $5000.

(06/14/2012) Am I missing something here?  $5000 for this? I agree, the body looks good, though this doesn’t have a tailgate like it should. And, it seems to be missing leg room for the back seat passengers. And, it requires some assembly. And, … well, you get my point.

“Very nice original jeep virtually no rust. sits on sand blasted frame set up fo sb chevy have rebuilt 327 never run. complet stock frame with axles, 4 cyl engine, trans drive shafts.

1951 M-38 Lodi, CA **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5551.

(05/31/2012) This looks solid.

“This Jeep has been in my family since the early 1960’s and was used for hunting. It was purchased from Archer Brothers in Hayward CA. It will go anywhere you point it. Comes with a Warn 8000 lbs. winch. For the hunter, this Jeep is perfect. Unlike a side by side, this is street legal and will take four people just about anywhere your gutsy driving will take you. The motor runs great but needs to be painted. The body is ok but has many small dents from previous hunting trips. For the restorer, it could use bodywork, fresh paint on the motor, and new upholstery on the seats.
The Jeep was torn down to the frame and sand blasted, primered, and painted with PPG epoxy gloss black paint.

Here’s the list.
Stock L134 Motor
Rebuilt Stock transmission
Rebuilt Stock Transfer Case
New High Torque Starter
New Water Pump and Hoses
New Distributor
New Wires and Plugs
New Fan Belt
New KYB shocks
New Rear Leaf Springs
Front Leaf Springs are 7 years old.
New front black out lights
New Tires
11″ Brakes
New Clutch
New Intermediate Shaft in the Transfer Case
Tilt Column
GM steering box
Heavy duty steering
Warn 8000 lbs. winch
New speedometer gauge and cable
The front Dana 25 axle was rebuilt 15 years ago. Maybe 300 miles are on it.
Rear Dana 44 was rebuilt 8 years ago and has Detroit locker with Dutchman 30 spline axles.
Comes with the rear rack and two Jerry Cans (High Lift Jack Not Included)”

1952 M-38? Zionsville, Indiana Make Offer

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

All original with diesel?  I did a little research and there is a rumor that a few M-38A1s destined for export had diesels in 1952 (http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4725).  If that really did happen, then I suppose it is possible that a M-38 could have had one installed as well.  However, I have seen no other evidence to support this.

“Testing the waters with this all original 4 cyl. diesel.”

It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that.  Looks good.

“This is a 90% restored military jeep with everthing, simulated Gas firing 50 Cal M2H machine gun, water cooled 1919 30.cal,thompson M1A1 sub machine gun, M1 garand,
