“This is an original 1962 USMC M38A1 Radio Jeep S/N 87346
This Jeep was used by the Civil Air Patrol for many years
It is complete and original except for the Bubba Roll Bar
It sat neglected for many years and rust has taken its toll
This is a good Jeep for parts I doubt it’s worth restoration, but that’s up to the Buyer.
Everything under the hood is about as original as they come, unfortunately the Engine is stuck
All fording and 24-volt Equipment is intact.
Radiator holds water and antifreeze was present in block.
This year model has the Locking Front and Rear Differentials.
The Jeep alone in parts is worth the Buy it Now price, but I’m open to offers.
I do have the 4 original wheels and a good transferable VA Title that matches Data plates
Feel free to reach out with questions
I can arrange delivery on the East Coast for a fee.”

There’s value here. Thanks to TJ for sharing.

“Was going to use body for my own restoration but now looking at something different. Body is mostly good but will need new floor pan. -does not include windshield frame -does not include tire carrier or roll bar -drivetrain has a rear axle (original I believe) front axle with transfer case & T-90 transmission mated to a 4.2 liter V-6. -no steering column but there is a power steering pump attached -tires are flat & vehicle will need to be put on a trailer”

The recoiless rifle is real.

“1952 Willys M38A1C Recoiless Rifle Carrier w/ 106mm Recoiless (inhert) Recoil rifle is not a mock up. It is the real deal. Very nice condition, no cancer , very clean, very complete. Has had frame off restoration in late 80s. Garage kept since Only issue; hops out of 2nd gear at times Otherwise very nice vehicle.”

There’s a lot going on here. It appears to be an M-38A1 body that sits on a non M-38A1 frame. That may have a CJ-3B hood grafted onto an M-38A1 hood?

“1953 Willies, 4 cylinder, standard 4 speed, 3 gear shifts. Runs well. As you can see the mileage is off the Guage, we are unsure of actual mileage. Title in hand Call Jerry 2o8-9seven1-6one4nine with questions or to come take a drive”

Bill shared this USMC Radio jeep. Note that the title may not be in the seller’s name, given it is a South Carolina title.

“FFrom what I can find out this is a rare USMC 1962 USMC Radio Jeep
Serial # 87509 DoD 8/62
1 of only 500 M38A1 Jeeps made for the Marines in 1962, I don’t know how many Radio Jeeps there were.
This one saw service as a Volunteer Fire Department Vehicle in South Carolina.
Pretty sure it was converted to 12 volts at that time.
Body is Rusty to say the least.
All of the Dash Data Plates are in tack, as well as the Radio instruments and switches.
The good part is that these Jeeps were under coated, so the frame is in really in good condition
And another plus on these Jeeps is that they were ordered with limited slip front and rear differentials.
You will not find that on any other M38A1’s.
That alone is worth the low reserve price.
I put a Battery in it, and it turns over freely
Oil looks good, radiator holds water
19345 miles on Odometer
16 X 7.50 Tires are in decent shape with no dry rot
Part it out fix it up, your choice
I do have a Transferable South Carolina Title”

This seems worth a look. The back of this may have been pushed inward some.

UPDATE: I’ve updated the information on this. John’s looking for someone who appreciate this pretty stock M-38A1 that John uses on a daily basis. It’s named “JW” for his uncle JW, who taught John how to drive in an MB many years ago.

You can contact John directly via email at John_cooper67 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces from around the @) or phone him at 870 688 1775.

“This has been my “daily driver since 2014. Everything works. $14,000 or reasonable offer.
It includes two tops (a modern Bestop and a canvas summer top) and tire chains.
It still has an F-head.
Everything is original.
After it’s military service, the jeep was painted white and used as a civil defense vehicle, Then, it was painted olive drab and used as a prop in the movie Selma. I purchased it after that.”

TJ spotted this project. Given the winch, and the price, this running jeep may be worth a look. Can’t tell what condition the body is in due to snow.
