This looks good for the price.

“1952 Willys Jeep, M38A-1 military from Korean war era. Needs restoration. New soft top. 3 speed, Hi-low, 2-4WDR.
Moving and need to sell. $2500 OBO.”

UPDATE:  Was $12,500. **SOLD**

(08/24/2012) This looks well maintained.

“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!

I’ve been putting the final touches on cleaning up this Jeep, which the pictures will demonstrate is in great condition.

I purchased the vehicle from a family in Waukesha, Wisconsin that used it for a family drives. Vehicle was owned by a collector in Minnesota prior to that, and by another in Wisconsin before him. Purchaser will get all information I have on the vehicle, but I’m only as far back as 1992.

The Jeep comes with the axe, shovel, radio and power supply, 1” manilla bumper rope, canvas, seat belts, and ORIGINAL 1952 M38A1 Operator’s Manual, as would have been with the vehicle in a military motor pool. Vehicle is still the original 24volt electric system.

I hope that someone else can enjoy this vehicle as much as I do. I highly recommend getting one (like this) that is already restored, because if you try to buy one of these 5-9k ones, you will end up putting a ton of money into it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

“Here is a classic piece of military history. This 62 Willy’s M38A1 will really turn heads.
Drive Train Works Good
Newer Military Tires
Overall Condition 8 out of 10
I bought it at an auction and drove it back to my shop. I have very little history with it
The only thing I can see that it needs is a headlight dimmer switch”

This isn’t perfectly original, but looks like a solid little jeep.

“This is a restored authentic 1953 m38a1 willys 1/4 ton jeep. This model has a L head go devil engine that s running strong with an electronic ignition by pertronix. Transmission is. T-90 with the original Dana/ spicer d44 rear and d25 front axles. Most of the military bolt ons have been re-located an installed with original parts r new old stock. This isn’t perfect, it’s 1953, and it’s $5k. Perfect is $8-15k. Have all new bolt on engine parts. Frame was sealed when body was off with kbs coating frame paint. No rust on frame and all rust has been stopped, removed and repainted. Rocker panels and floor solid and floor was nearly all replaced. Has cj3a gas tank under seat which is clean and hooked up. Converted to 12 volt by p.o. And all lights and blinkers function making this a solid vehicle that can be registered. Waiting for the title to come back from SOS and will have any time now. Have an original 1953 Michigan plate that goes with it($30 value). Tire has tread but are checked and I havent gotten to replacing them. Driveable. I ought a new 7 x 15 spare which is closer to original size. Has cj5 15″ rims.

The hood numbers and unit markings are the original usmc badges I found as I sanded down the body.

I get a lot of heads turning when I take it out. It’s an awesome feeling having a jeep that no one around does. My neighbor has a 2012 rubicon $40k jeep and is jealous. It’s history and old=cool

I love this thing. I really wanted a cj2a but this project called my name. Willing to entertain cj2a, cj3a, cj3b trades plus cash or straight up if in good condition.”

“I have a complete M38A1 Willys Army jeep from 1954, it is complete! With the original data plates and all the parts are there including top bows and seats, Has new military canvas driver seat as well as the rear bottom seat cushion. I can finish the cnavas job on the other seats if you so desire it. I have spent the better part of 16 months bringing this old Army veteran jeep back to its military glory. It has all the hard to find accessories and attachments. All Five tires are original military tires, as are the rims. I just installed a rebuilt T-90 transmission this year, a complete new old stock exhaust system. This jeep needs some paint and your markings and you are ready for parades, vfw functions or just to jeep around with. I have a box of extra parts that will come with it. Currently the jeep is in 12 volt, I have all the parts to convert over to a complete dual battery 24 volt system. This is the most complete M38A1 offered. Has all the original lifting shackles and front bumper that has not been molested or cut. New ties rods installed, new steering bellcrank, two new front brake cylinders. The fuel tank is original and has already been gone through and restored so you will not have to worry about a fuel tank leaking. Comes with two fuel cans (5 gallon military one is dated 1977 the other is new old stock from 1955) Also comes with two gallons of the correct semi-gloss paint you will need to finish the restoration. If you have any questions call me at 580 six four seven 00 four five. She stops drives and runs. I have put alot of work into this old work horse. But the wife says I can only have one jeep. So now is your chance!
I also have two original manuals for this jeep that come with it as well.
If you are a korean war veteran or veteran period, with proof, I will take $500 off the asking price. And last but not least, I will deliver this jeep to within 100 miles of zip code (73543/Geronimo, OK)”

Looks nicely restored. I wonder if it was really painted yellow for the private airport.

“Our 1953 Airforce Jeep is for sale…….It was used as a “FOLLOW ME” Car. The restauration including the engine was done ca. 5 Years ago.

The jeep was only used as a “Follow Me” vehicle on a private airport since then, and has less than 450 miles on the new engine.24 Volt System.

The car is in nice shape.”
