1946? CJ-2A? Newport, NH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

I’m thinking this might be a M-38?  I think I see tool indents on the passenger side.  Those tires are pretty worn.

“Selling a original 1946 Jeep Willy that runs and drives for $5,000.00. Only modifications is it has been converted to 12 volt. Almost all parts are new only thing that needs work is the rocker panels and floor boards are rusted.”

1952 M-38? Jarrell, Tx $4000 includes Trailer & Refridge Machine?

I’m not sure what a GE refrigerating machine type CK-2-D16 is?  The seller lists this as a CJ-2A, but I’m guessing it is a M-38.

“I have a 1952 CJ2A Military Jeep with trailer for sale that I have owned for 35 years. It RUNS GOOD, is in good condition, no rust and could easily be restored back to military standard. It also has an operational general electric refrigerating machine type CK-2-D16 serial #8213178. I am asking $4,000.00 for the Jeep and trailer, please call Wayne at 512-970-4901 with questions.”

I have the data plates as well as the serial plate. New plastic gas tank.

1954? M-38 Kanosh, Ut $3500

• CATEGORIES: M-38, M-38A1, Unusual • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Thanks to a reader named Brett for pointing out this jeep.  The front part of the jeep appears to be a M-38, though the year is off.  On the other hand, the rear body on this jeep looks suspiciously CJ-5ish.  I’d like to see some close up pics to see how the front and rear of the body has been merged.  Perhaps it is a M-38 and 1954 M-38A1?

“1954 Jeep Military. !2 volt alt, 4 cyl flat head engine, front and rear seats,body in good condition. Brake wheel cylinders have been replaced. Body is in good condition with little or no rust. Selling Jeep and buying 4 wheeler. Come and see it at 210 North Main Street, Kanosh, Utah 84637.”

Well, the price is good for a running jeep (well, was running before removing the transmission), but ‘it’s all original except for the engine’?  Yeah, right …

3 Jeeps = GPW, CJ-3A, M-38 Davenport, IA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-3A, GPW (Ford MB), M-38 This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

The GPW looks in the best condition, followed by the M-38 (incorrectly listed as a CJ-3A) and then the CJ-3A.

“I am selling my hobby because of a line of duty accident that has left me with no other option. these jeeps were bought at an estate auction and they only have a bill of sale, because they have always been government owned before the last owner. The CJ3A was started on a off frame overhaul and the body was set back on to sell. The GPW is as I purchased it they both ran and drove off the trailer. the last one is just parts. thank you for your interest, this pains me to do this but I have no other choice.”
