“his posting is for a 1952 Willys M38-A1 (US Army) Jeep with 59,182 miles. Stored indoors in a climate-controlled warehouse. Beautifully patinaed it runs great and starts every time. Top end is 60 MPH on a flat road (if you’re leaning forward). New starter, coil, five tires and tubes. Gas tank has been cleaned and sealed. Recent oil change. Four-cylinder 4-134 F engine with three speed T90 transmission that runs strong, but does leak a little oil . New complete engine/seal kit comes with the vehicle.

“1956 Jeep Nekaf M38A1 4WD Niederlandische Papiere
The Nekad M38 is actually a Willy’s M38 and was produced in the Netherlands under license.
The M38 is a military version of the CJ-3A.

The condition of this Nekaf is good, he has as few traces of wear here and there but it matches the condition of the militairy vehicle.

The engine of the Nekaf runs excellent and it drives very nice.”

Robin shared this one. The sellers will accept US Silver Eagles …. This is a “complete restoration”, one that did not include removing the body. One pic shows the transmission crossmember, which looks like it could use a good cleaning (at the very least).

You can look long and hard and probably never find as nice a Willys M38A1 as ours, especially at this low an asking price with so much heavily invested into this restoration. We will consider partial trades, but not interested in anything in particular. We will accept partial to possibly full payment in US Silver Eagles, etc.

1952 Willys M38A1 Jeep Restoration Information:

With a complete restoration, short only of body removal which was not needed, this jeep has been restored to be a functionally perfect beautiful example of the venerable M38A1 with any parts needed, replaced with new items. The elderly previous owner had gone part way in restoring this M38A1 prior to our acquisition and our doing an extensive restoration to virtual show quality. The previous owner had done a partial restoration which included the electronic ignition, partial installation of new Painless brand wiring harness and fuse panel, engine transmission and drive train mechanical work (brakes, exhaust, seals, shocks, etc.)

1954 M-38A1 Flower Mound, TX **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.

I assume the wires sticking out of the battery box was a temporary thing related to getting the jeep going. It looks solid.

“1954 Willys M38A1, original 24v, 4 cylinder. Military tires, roof believed to be original and in good condition (no rips/tears). Fording kit, heater, military 24v charging port installed. OEM Brass Fire Ext. All canvas including front radiator cover for winter. Some of the door/ side curtain fastener stays have started to pull through.

Inherited this from my father who owned it 10-12 years, I was probably the last person to drive it 2009-2010. Started working on getting it running again, cleaned fuel system, new carb, new starter. Start and runs, with a miss, not sure why. Need to get this moved to finish the garage it’s in.”

Has 4low with lockers, tow bar and is wired for flat towing; comes with many extra parts: Bikini top, charging cable for supplying 24v to ???? Many extra parts original- this has been in the family and well cared for for a LONG time and it’s condition shows – always kept covered (very little rust) even the engine paint is original – black out running lights all work so enemy aircraft can’t target you! Haha

Clean and current pink slip in hand – no past reg or anything dumb- even the original turn signals still work!

I’ve seen these go for BIG money on the auction blocks so I’m testing this out – make me a actual offer and I’ll consider it – cash only – no trades – no checks – you pick it up yourself and hand me cash 🙂

“This vintage 1954 Willys m38a1 U.S. army vehicle is original 24 volt, runs perfectly, shifts perfectly including 4 wheel drive. as far as I can tell the vehicle is not cut, welded on, or in any other way been severely damaged or altered. The jeep is certainly not perfect or show quality / it shows dents and dings / layers of green farm paint. The floor boards in the front are solid but look as though they have seen minor repairs in the past / the jeep shows little to no rust. The wheels and tires are civilian while the spare is a military ndt with original wheel. The dash data plate shows a 1954 date / the data plate behind the passenger seat is missing / the engine that I replaced did not have a number stamped into it. As it stands this is a solid driver vehicle in great condition that is reliable and mechanically totally sound. I have always kept the vehicle garaged and have used it primarily for Sunday driving or riding around the neighborhood / vehicle has not been abused as an off-roading unit.

Mechanically the jeep was in good shape when I purchased it and over the past few years I have made some improvements and completed routine maintenance.

improvements:
– Summer 2016 – full engine rebuild and installation with correct “MD” stamped military f-134 “hurricane” engine ( done by 1/4 ton military in chickamauga, ga)
– Summer 2016 – new brakes, brake lines, all fluids changed including mechanical housings (done by 1/4 ton military )
– Fuel pump rebuild by kaiser-willys
– Original Carter carb rebuild by kaiser-willys
– Air intake cross-over tube replaced with correct unit
– Instrument cluster removed and replaced non-working gauges
– Damaged seat covers replaced
– Windshield and rubber replaced
– 24 volt waterproof spark plug wires / and new plugs
– A variety of other tasks to numerous to count
