1952 M-38 McCormick, SC $4700

This looks pretty stock and still sports a 24 volt system.  That’s pretty funny, as I was talking with Van today (he purchased one of my Champs) and he said that 24 volt M-38s were hard to find.  True, I said, but I still find them … and voila …

“This is a great older Military Jeep w/original 34000 miles 95% original parts(have re-built orininal fuel pump) Was on road w/SC tag till last fall. Perfect for off rail restoration.I have had this Jeep for many years.Clean title.24 Volt.Will run,all 4whl. drive in working order.I am too old and without resources to restore properly

1951 M-38 Arlington, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

Unusual paint job.

“solid jeep. flat four(60 hp) needs an alt and probably battery. new 31 in tires(less than 100 miles). new water pump and had the starter rebuilt about five years ago and have put less than 100 miles on it. has a broken header bolt that could be tapped out. wouldn’t hurt to have carb rebuilt built probably easier to replace engine with small v8 to provide more power the flat four is missing. don’t have time to play with it, so time to clean my garage. could be restored with alot of work, but more likely could be made into a crawler easier. this is not a work of art but has good componets: axles, tube, t-case and trans(3 speed), tires, frame, etc. have clear title. as is.”

(07/13/2010) It’s got a big hole in the rear, but still runs. It also looks to have a winch on the front?

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

“Need something to keep you busy this winter? This vehicle needs to be restored. I purchased it completely apart and have no time for the restoration process. The body tub is in excellent shape, frame is perfect, and all parts are with it. All data plates are origanal and still on mounting plate. It is a great project for anyone with restoration experience, and time for the project.”

Let’s see … we have an 1947 “authentic WWII” style M-38.  Someone’s confused.  That said, it looks pretty good.

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900

(07/15/2010) This looks solid.  I wonder if that really is a BW OD or a Warn OD.

“Original M38. New seats(front buckets and rear military style quick removable “clam shell style bench), tires, brakes. Runs great! starts right up and goes anywhere. Borg-warner O/D so it’ll cruise 60mph if you dare. It’s not a perfect museum piece yet, but high KBB is $17.5k for one like that.”

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $7,999

(03/20/2010) It’s got a Buick V-6 225, but otherwise appears pretty stock.  It does have those m-151(?) rims that cause it to have a narrow track.

1951 M-38 Goodlettsville, TN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.

I wonder why this is sporting a Dana 23-2 rear end?  The Dana 23-2 was used on the MBs/GPWs and early ’46.  Next, the Dana 41 was used until the Late 1950 CJ-3As when the Dana 44 was installed.  As best I can tell, all the M-38s used a Dana 44.

“Rare Korean War military Jeep. Good body; solid floors, has some rust on sides but easily repairable. Swapped in Chevy 350, stock, runs good. Comes with Advance Adapters Small Block Chevy to original Jeep T-90 transmission assembly($500 new), good transmission and good Transfer case, Dana 25 front axle, Dana 23-2 rear axle, 15 inch wheels with tires that are worn out. I will sell for $2,100 negotiable.”

1951 M-38 Holbrook, Ny eBay

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

Here’s a ‘professionally’ restored M-38 that doesn’t appear accurately restored.  You can see it is missing the M-38 grille and grill mount, suggesting this is a CJ frame. It doesn’t have a M-38 gas tank and the inlet is in an odd position.  The windshield vent should be bolted, not hinged. The rear of the frame looks civilian;  Here’s the way the rear should really look. Note the drain piece where the hood connects to the body — that is from a CJ-3A.  And, last but not least, the Dash Plate is installed upside down and backwards …

“YOU ARE LOOKING AT A 1951 WILLYS JEEP M38 ARMY GREEN WITH ARMY GREEN INTERIOR,  HAS GO DEVIL ENGINE,    ALL DECALS , GAS CAN, SHOVELS, POWER TAKE OFF LOCKING FRONT HUBS, CANVAS TOP IS OFF .  THIS JEEP IS PROFESSIONALLY RESTORED.

These are some good parts awaiting a restoration.

“This is the one a collector has been waiting for!  hard to tell if it was removed from the assembly line!  as you will see in the pictures, absolutely no rust now or ever. it has been sitting in storage and needs to go. what you see is what you get!  basicly complete body and frame. NO ENGINE OR TRANS/ TRANSFERCASE, NO WIRING, LIGHTS, SWITCHES, GAUGES. all the difficult parts are there though, as you will see in the pics.  these models are extremly rare and i’ve been in the jeep business for over 30 years and never seen one like this before. this jeep does not have a title and is being sold as parts only. if you had a rusted out m38, add your powertrain and electrics and you will be done! if not capable, call me. i do restorations.  heads up, reserve is around the price of a new body kit.”

Here’s a good looking M-38.  Paul accurately notes the frame appears civilian, lacking the appropriate hinges on the grille.  Instead, it has the civilian brackets.

1952 M-38 Williams, AZ **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

“1952 WILLY JEEP M 38 still running the body is in great shape the only thing altered is the second battery box was removed and bonded over. This was done before I received the Jeep. The 24 volt system was removed and the 12 put in its place. Let’s be honest here the body is probably the only original M38 part. The motor is a 6 cylinder from a scrambler placed in the jeep. The motor is a Buick V6 225. It has a 3 speed transmition out of a 1968 CJ5 as well as the transfer case they are the same make as used in the earlier willys. I added power steering to the jeep also. I do have extra parts also.  I check my email all the time so if you are interested I will reply. make me an offer. Do not ask if i still have this i will not reply due to other people pushing a better way to sell.”
