It looks good, but the image compression makes the body look rough.

It’s rough.
“jeep runs needs carrier bearings in the rear end and a drive line made I have the old one that got twisted in half , it has A aluminum hard top willing to trade for 35,36,or 37inch tires with 16 inch rim or guns, or dirt bike”
It doesn’t run, but the body looks good.
“For sale. 1952? willys jeep, good body , Has flat head engine cracked block, doesnt run. $1500.00 OBO”
This might be in pretty good shape. I can’t quite tell how good from the pics. I can tell it’s not a CJ-2A though …

Tom~971-409-4266”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“Great shape low rust runs great.needs brakes reworked and synchros in saginaw transmission.was built for off road endurance racing.Has stainless steel front bumper and tow bar on front.A TRULY Rare find in this good of shape!!!!!was employed by U.S. NAVY.Top fits great a must see to appreciate all the extras.”
The flattie looks to be a M-38, so the year should be 1950 or later. The other I’m guessing to be a M-38a1. It’s a bizarre parking job.
“The red jeep ran when i got it 5yrs ago. The drive train worked good too. It has a title. The yellow jeep has the motor taken out of it and is in the back of it same with the front clip. The drive train is good on it though. It dosent have a title. I was gana take the two and make on nice one. And take the rest of the other one and make a trailer for it. I will bring them to denver for you for an extra 300. If you have any questions feel free to ask @ mrdobrinski@gmail.com”
UPDATE: I dropped by the seller’s house today to check this jeep out. Kim’s father is the actual seller and Kim is selling it for him. Both father and son rebuild wagon’s, with Kim specializing in Sheep Wagons (see pic to the right). I suspect the large Basque population in southern Idaho (5th largest community of Basques in the world) fosters this unusual hobby (at least I’ve never seen these anywhere else).
As for the jeep, it turns out to be a pretty stock M-38 that runs. It’s got some rough edges and needs some paint. It’s got the dual battery setup. It could use new seat covers and a new gas tank and a few other items. A professional mechanic has done some work on it and can provide more specific information.
UPDATE: Was $4800.
It looks like a great old M-38.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2950.
Some paint will really make a difference with this jeep.
“This jeep is in running condition and is a driver. It is missing the front bumper and has no top. Restoration ready. Also includes many extra parts. California car so there is no rust. This car is located on the Oregon coast close to Seaside. Note it is a flat fender..I will list as many pics as I can. Please call for more information and details. ”

This looks good for $1000.

The seller lists both 1951 and 1952 as the years of this jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks more like a M-38 to me, but I can’t tell conclusively.
“1952 Jeep CJ3A. This jeep has a 1955 F head engine instead of the original flat head engine. I have lots of extra parts I bought at a military auction many years ago. I have a soft top for it. This Jeep has NO rust and ran great last time I went hunting in it which was 1994. it has been stored inside ever since. Even the interior is good. I put in a new gas tank with non corrosive liner. It needs a battery and most likely will need a carburetor rebuild from sitting so long and will have years of trouble free hunting or whatever. It’s not fast (max 50 mph) but it will climb a tree.”
Lots and lots of detailed updates to this rig.

Here’s an M-38 that’s seen a few trails.
“1952 Willys Jeep for sale runs but has knock all running good no rust”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This might be a good find. I can’t tell what the seller wants for it.
“1951 Willys M38. Real good shape. Came from Arizona. Engine will run just needs tune up. Great little jeep. My daily driver moved on which pushed me to replace it. Looking for a 4X4 or something neat to trade for this Jeep. Would take cash also. The price range for the Jeep varies so make me an offer.”
It looks to me more like a M-38 rather than an MB. However, I don’t see any passenger side cutouts.
“A 1942 Willys Jeep,Red in color,a three speed,new brakes,tow bar And its in Exellent shape.4 cyl engine”
I’m pretty sure I’ve got this one listed elsewhere, but I can’t find it, so just in case. There’s not much of a description.
“1951 willys cj3a jeep 4×4 flathead 4 cyl $5500”
This looks like a pretty good price for a M-38 that looks to be in great shape.
“1951 Willys M-38 military jeep! Complete with canvas top, axe, tools, etc. This has been stored for 30 years and has an older restoration. This jeep runs and drives!!

This appears to be a very good price.

Bob Westerman has written a detailed overview of the M-38 pilot models.
From the website, Bob writes: “NEW: 1/1/2009 In the time since this web-page was published some new photos of the Pilot Models have surfaced. The photos reveal that the pilot models were in a constant state of change as different features were implemented and tested. The new information shows that some previous assumptions are no longer valid. See the MVPA’s magazine Army Motors #126 for the latest information.”
Visit the CJ-3A.Info website to learn more about the M-38 Pilot model history.
This M-38 looks in excellent condition.
