1951 M-38 Tucson, AZ **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Frame off restoration in 2003/2004 (completed with my M37) – with all 24V parts (mostly OEM).  I found this Jeep at a Machine shop in Tucson painted orange and converted to 12V –  I spent over a full year converting it back to 24V and restoring it to Military condition.  I have many extra parts that I will throw in with this purchase.  I enjoy 4 – wheeling and this vehicle has always been the hit of the trips – it is fun to watch the guys with the expensive rock crawlers come and marvel at the M38.  Veterans Day parades have also been a great time in the Jeep with my sons.  This vehicle is restored to motor pool condition and has had its share of off road adventures (see picture of catching air with the boys in the seats smiling ear to ear!  This is not a trailer Queen – It has a strong engine and transmission.  All canvas in GREAT condition.  This Jeep needs a good home with someone to drive it and enjoy it as much as I have.

This jeep needs: horn does not work (used to but I disconnected it when it got stuck on), needs wiper motors and wipers (never needed in AZ) and slight dent in rear tailgate.  There is no canvas top, spare tire in excellent condition.  Minor leaks underneath but normal for any military vehicle.”

1951 M-38 Wenatchee, Wa $3600

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

This looks pretty good. The seller also has a 2nd M-38 and a M-38A1 for sale.

“Title says 1942. This jeep runs and drives but has some minor body needs. Has a M38 artic top with data plates. Starts right up. Has L head engine and floating rearend. Has the heavy duty frame that CJ2 and 3A’s do not have. The grille is from a 3A and has been converted to 12 volts. Great 3A project with heavy duty front and rear bumpers that both have ball hitches. Could use a tune up. But she runs. I believe its a 52 or 53? M38’s were actually heavy duty 3A’s made for punishment. Only made 3 years 51, 52, and again in 55.

Also have a 2nd M38 with the correct grille and other parts for sale. It has a 302 that runs but neeeds body work and master brake cylinder work. Its title says 43 and its $1600 with the artic top with M38 data tags. This is a flat fender unlike the M38A1 which is the first round fender.

Have one of those [M-38a1] for sale 90% restored to military use, for $5500 .”

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.

This is interesting.  The seller says this is an unrestored M-38 in great condition.  If accurate, this might be an unusual find if you want a M-38.

“Up for sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Army jeep. Looks and runs good. Tires are new. No rust however certain parts are pitted. Willys flathead 4cyl engine original to the jeep, T90 trans, 4wd. This is a rare untouched, unrestored find. It came straight from the fire dept and runs very good. Shifts fine, Steers tight, stops as it should and does not leak any oil. It has been converted to 12 volt by the fire dept and has never been modified or in civilian hands untill recently. I have the original gov. release form. This jeep also has the original spring seat cushions.

the last photo is a picture of my yard, if you buy and pay you will recieve. Local pickup only however I can help with shipping to 48 states and overseas.”

Wolfgang’s Travel Trailer & M-38

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

Wolfgang lives in Germany and has a great looking M-38.  But, I think that travel trailer is equally cool.  It was built in Belgium in 1977 and the model is a Coral T3.

BTW Wolfgang is looking for a Bell Crank.  Anyone have an extra one?  Just email me at d@ewillys.com.

Here’s the shot of the trailer:

Wolfgang and some friends were out jeeping recently.  As you can see, he’s not afraid to get it dirty, either.

I thought this was a really cool shot.  They are crossing a river on a small ferry.  The town in the background looks so picturesque!

1946 CJ-2A Arizona **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $35,750.

Bill spotted this …  as he suggested, sit down …. the auction estimate was $12,000 – $17,000 which in itself is an inflated price in my opinion.  However, this past weekend this franken jeep sold for $35,750.

“63 hp, 134.2 cu. in. flathead four-cylinder engine, Carter carburetor, three-speed manual gearbox with low-range, four-wheel drive with live axles front and rear with semi-elliptic leaf springs, four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Wheelbase: 80″

– From the Bill Jacobs Collection
– Only 578 miles since total nut-and-bolt restoration
– Original Forest Service Jeep with shovel and axe included
– 4WD with low range, trailer hitch, full gauge package

The 1946 Jeep offered here is beautifully finished in white. It was reportedly the property of the US Forest Service and carries the appropriate axe and shovel. It was the subject of an extremely detailed two-year restoration in 2001 by Jim Neirynck of Macomb Township, Michigan.”

1952 M-38 Fremont, Ca $2000

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

This might make a good restoration project if the seller’s description is accurate.

“This is a PROJECT Jeep from the Korean War era. It is an excellent platform for a complete restoration, or you can build it up as a fun Jeep to run around in.

It has many very valuable and rare military spec parts, and will come with the following parts. I will not separate the parts or allow cherry picking of the expensive and rare items. You could buy this jeep and easily part it out for more than my asking price.

Jeep rolls, steers, and stops. The axles and drive train are complete and original. The correct stamped Willys RMC engine is disassembled, but remains in-frame. The body has both data plates, and they match.

Comes with correct and original Carter YS waterproof carburetor, Engine lift hook, air cleaner, underhood battery box in excellent condition. Has correct 24Volt generator, starter, and distributor. Correct headlight guards, and all original Willys sheet metal. Very little rust, and the body is solid.

Has date correct Cooper NDT mil spec tires, etc. Original seat frames in good restorable condition. Comes with other NOS and good parts. Sold with bill of sale only. Call James at 510-682-6398 to see it.”

This looks in good shape.

“This is a 1952 USMC M38 Willy’s Jeep. I got this jeep about 1 year ago. I love driving it I have put some work in to it and was trying to FULLY restore it. I can no longer work on it due to my vision. She runs like a dream and she always makes heads turn.
Only things needed to be done to it is break stems need to be replaced, bleeding the brakes and minor carburetor work. I will throw in all the parts I have bought for it.”
