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 …

M-38 Rolling Chassis Keene, Nh eBay

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

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.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,900.

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.”

the seller lists this as a M-38, but as J.R. points out, it looks more like a CJ-3A.

It runs and drives.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000. It’s an APU hood.

Brent spotted this ad.  He noted that the body appears to be a CJ-3A, yet the grille looks to be a M-38 grille. So, I can’t say for sure if the foundation for this is a CJ-3A or a M-38.  The bumper on this kind of looks DJ-3Aish as well.
