There are multiple ads across the country for a 1953 M-38A1 for only $3000. This too-good-to-be-true offer is made using a gmail address that is also selling other vehicles across the country. It looks like a scammer to me.
Here’s the ad:
“Army Jeep Very good body, converted to 12 v new reduction starter, c00ntact: monicamiller107@gmail.com”

“1952 Willy’s Jeep Forest fire truck;
This is a unique fire truck in that it is a Willy’s Jeep AND easily fits in your garage! Former military unit (ex Marines, I believe). Runs and drives great- needs some TLC for the true Willy’s Jeep detail. It appears to be “shop built” either by military or a fire dept. as a fire pumper, but used a “Barton” front mount 500 gpm conversion kit of the day. The side compartments are ex-ammo boxes!
UPDATE: Was $1500. **Status Unknown**.
It doesn’t run, but does have an unusual hardtop.

(09/11/2014) This pair looks like a good price.
“1954 Willy’s M38-A1 Military Jeep with a 1952 M102 Trailer. Jeep is titled and plated. Trailer has no title bill of sale only. Over $10,000 invested with most of the receipts. Has been in parades. Runs drives, stops and turns. Low, high, 2 wheel and 4 wheel are work as designed.”
Doesn’t run, but looks sound. I like the vintage top.
“Fun vintage jeep!
Not running. Rebuilt body late 1970’s and put in barn storage in 1985. 4 F-134 engine with 3 speed transmission. Body in good condition. Canvas top in good condition. Roll bar added during restoration effort in 70’s. Garage kept!
Photo taken the day it was pulled from the barn, complete with 29 years of dust!
Lost the barn storage due to property sale. Need to pass this one on to a real jeep enthusiast!”

All these jeeps need a close look.
“1) jeep is 1951 m38 runs excellent and mech. good body gd except right rear fender
1) jeep is plow jeep enclosed excellent in snow removal these jeeps are ALL WILLYS
2) jeeps are 1953 m38-A1’s are have all the night vision parts and are complete excellent for parts or more if you like to restore (one missing radiator)
I have xtra tires and rims both 15 & 16”
I also have one new military gas can and many others in nice condition
the$6000 is a one time price if sold all to one person
the plow jeep is $3500 firm
the military jeep is $3500 firm
the m-38’s are $1500 each”
Looks like there is some value. Seller would like to trade for a newer running jeep, which suggests an overestimation of the value. Obviously NOT a WWII jeep.
“his Jeep has all original parts all except the seats, the engine is a F-Head 134 Cub. Inch. with a 3 – speed manual Transmission.
The WWII jeep is a restoration project it is in good condition considering the age of the Jeep very little rust.
The jeep has an extra engine head and it also has two extra tires (all the tires need to be replaced)
I would like to sell it for cash although I would be interested in a newer running Jeep as a trade???
MAKE ME AN OFFER – $$ OR TRADE For an new running jeep??”

This may be a good project.
“The Willys was started last winter. It needs work and is not currently operable. Buyer must haul. This is a fair price for this vehicle, so please do not waste your time trying to reduce it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
(08/22/2014) Listed as a 1953 M-38A1, the body and grille are from a CJ-5.
“This old military version of the CJ, an MB, has been an incredibly dependable off road warrior for the family for over 30 years. Our 24 yr old daughter learned to drive in it. As the photos show, it has seen better times cosmetically, but the ol’ girl is as capable and reliable as ever. Posi in the front with limited slip in the rear, dual lever transfer case, power saginaw steering, CB, Chey 327 engine, runs strong, always cool with huge old Cadillac radiator, Warn hubs, new brakes all the way around, lots of rubber. Solid Half doors, Heavy tow bar. An old style performer. Restore or drive as is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It’s missing the data plates at the very least.

Runs and drives.
“You are looking at a 1952 M38A1 Willies Army Jeep. This jeep would be a great restoration project for some one looking to complete such a project. It is in actually really great condition, it starts and runs with no issues. The drive train is in fine shape and I have drove it many times on public roads. 4 wheel drive works perfectly and transmission has no issues with popping out of gear. The clutch has just been replaced so it is brand new. It is equipped with the original engine, it does probably need a rebuild as the jeep is a little smokey which tells me she is burning a little oil. However it does not seem to be leaking oil all over the ground.
Rust is there, I wont lie she is rusty, but it all for the most part is surface rust that can be removed by a good bead blast. There is no heavy deep rot settling into the frame or the body.
It has been converted to a 12 Volt system however there are still components of the 24 volt system still installed, like the head lights which I am pretty sure were the same ones that were on it the day it left the factory.
It has been repainted on multiple occasions however there are signs of the OD Military paint showing through in various parts under the hood in the engine compartment, body, and drive train. Although the unfortunate side is that all the original data plates have been lost or removed.
It has a clean title and is registered in the State of AZ, I would not recommend driving it home as the tires are around 22 years old and the brakes need some work. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks in good shape.

“1953 Willys-Overland Model MD (M38A1) Army Jeep For Sale.
Jeep was purchased in 2000, engine rebuilt in 2003 and garage stored since 2006. Originally planned for a restoration, as jeep had been converted to 12-volt electrical prior to purchase. Military version of venerable F-Head engine was professionally rebuilt in 2003 with hardened valve seals for today’s unleaded gasoline and rebuilt military carburetor. The dual-pane windshield is intact without cracks and body is solid (though previous owner tack-welded a sheet of metal on the rear floor of body tub). Extra parts come with the jeep, including various 24-volt electrical system parts (generator, starter, voltage regulator), Top-bow for roof, various small parts including extra mechanical fuel/vacuum pump, jerry can and spare tire mounts.
*** This Jeep is currenly not running and sitting on wheel dollies (which come with the jeep). It will need to be moved by trailer or towed, and a floor jack will be required to move it off the wheel dollies.”
