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.”

Year? M-38 Dallas, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $10,000

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,

It looks like it needs a little more work and some paint.  I once went on a date in Hermosa Beach at a Sushi place on a corner near the pier.  The sushi place was delicious, though I can’t remember the name anymore.

1949 M-38? Nashville, TN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Well, besides the fact that M-38s weren’t made in 1949, this doesn’t look anything like a M-38.  Given what appears to be full floaters in the rear and no drain hole in the side, I’d guess this is more of a CJ-2A/MB hybrid.

“This is a nice m38 Willys jeep. I have the full top and also bikini top for it. I just had the starter rebuilt and relaxed the starter sylenoid. It runs and drives good and the 4 wheel drive works great. This is a original m38 and still has the floor bracket for a heavy machine gun mount. I also have a original set of Willys wheels with military tires and brand new tubes that go with it.”

This has a M-38 windshield and I think it has a glove box on the dash, too, so I think it is a M-38 rather than the CJ-3A indicated by the seller.  Or, it is a mix of parts.

“66K Miles. Decent condition. Comes with Tow Bar & Soft Top. Less than 500 miles traveled in last 10 years. Runs great; but, needs brake work.”
