1952 M-38A1 Hillsboro, OH **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

At a start price of M-38A1, this looks like a solid jeep.

“his jeep has a ford 302 mated to the original drive train which is a 3spd transmission with a twin stick transfer case and 5.38 positive tract differentials. it has good 31×10.5×15 tires and ford turbine wheels. we welded new sides on the jeep (14 gauge steel). it has fiberglass front fenders and a roll cage (full). the top is not in the best condition. the seats came out of a 66 mustang, i believe…. my whole family used to go trail riding and this was my grandfathers jeep, however we all quit going and he would like to sell it. so i offered to put it ebay for him. it was great on the trail by the way! it has been just setting around for 5 yrs or so and probably needs the average maintenance, (filters and fluid changed). it does start and runs though all the gears just fine. oh it also has a new gas tank in it and probably other things that im forgetting. any questions shoot me and email, thanks
pick up only.”

“I have a nearly complete, mostly un-molested M38-A1 project jeep. This Jeep came out of Nevada about 15 years ago, and the paperwork has been lost. It is mostly complete and stock. Original F-head 4-cylinder, 3-speed transmission, ..stock suspension, tires, wheels. The tires are shot from sitting. The body is mostly straight, with a small amount of minor rust. It is not cut up or damaged other than the right front fender being bent, probably fix-able. Steering, brakes, etc. all original. The seat frames are there, with cushions, but no upholstery, and the cushions would only be useful for patterns. The windshield is intact with good glass. It has bumpers that are not stock, and also has a tow bar on the front. This is a “barn find” I have not tried to start it yet (engine is NOT seized). I may consider offers and trade. Pictures available on request.”

This looks more like a CJ-5 than a M-38A1. No shots of the dash to confirm.  This might be worth a look.

This doesn’t run, but the body appears to have potential.

Currently it is not running, it is missing the gauge cluster and drive shafts. Has good tires and tow bar, it flat tows nice and would make someone a great project jeep.

This is supposed to have an original welding unit.  This is rare enough that the M38A1 site doesn’t have a picture of one. There was supposed to be one at the Ponderosa Ranch.

“M38A1 Willys welding variant used during korean war. Frame off, lots of parts. 95% complete, come get the only one known to exist in the USA. No looky loos. Call or contact for more pictures. (206) 713-7799 – Richard”

Eric spotted this unusually modified M-38A1 that used to be a mess. It’s a different kind of slat grille. It might be a fun ride?

“This is not a restored original. See pictures
The only salvageable parts were the chassis, the motor, (rebuilt), the steering wheel, rear ends, transmission, and speedometer.
It is registered as an antique vehicle, and is in good running condition. The mileometer reads 56,349 miles, but I cannot vouch for the accuracy. Approximately 2,000 miles have been put on since the motor was rebuilt.
The motor is an L-head Overland motor.
This is a “one of a kind” vehicle, which you must see to appreciate!!”

This appears to be a good price.  Looks solid. The fenders appear to be later model ones, given the divot for the side light.

1952 M-38A1 Lola, KS eBay

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

This looks like a solid M-38A1.  It has some odd gauge behavior according to the seller.

“As I can tell, this is as close as possible to a 100% restoration of a military Jeep. I bought it about 6 years ago in this condition. The odometer had about 13,000 miles on it, but the speedometer cable was broke. I have since installed a new cable, and the odometer now shows 16,100 miles. This is a fun Jeep to drive and a head turner. I drive it in Veteran Day’s parades, and drive it to car shows within a 60 miles radius from where I live in Southeast Kansas.

It drives nicely for its age. I have recently installed a carburetor kit and points, condensor, and rotor. I have also installed new spark plugs and spark plug wires about two years ago. The oil pressure consisently shows over 40 PSI. Other instrument guages are erratic by working sometimes and not the other, even after I replaced the spider wire harness. Do not have the expert knowlrdge to troubleshoot this aspect.

The 24V generator works even though the guage does not show charge, and the water guage works that I had never had this Jeep over heat. The manual windshield wipers work, but again I could not troubleshoot the vacuum operation. I am explaining everything about this Jeep that cannot be seen in the accompanying pictures. The Jeep still has the 24V sealed system and all lights work properly icluding the instrument panel and blackout marker lights. Mechanically everything works properly and it starts right away even in cold weather.

I love to drive this Jeep whenever weather permits. It has always been garaged since I owned it. The body is very straight and solid and the person who restored it did so with the correct paint and markings. No visible rust seen anywhere except under the passenger seat whre some minor rust shows on a channel, but the rust contained and painted over. I cannot arrange for shipping since I live in a small community which is not exposed to adequate services. I am willing to deliver the Jeep on my trailer within 100 miles radius of Iola, Kansas.”

1964 M-38A1 Whitehouse, Oh eBay

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

This looks nice at first glance, but the gauges aren’t hooked up and the body is fiberglass.

“Older frame up restore but still in top condition. Runs perfect, drives perfect, always garage kept. You wouldn’t know your driving a 48 year old vehicle. Drives straight down the road. Does 62 MPH. Been to many shows. Always starts right up. Has silicone brake fluid (dot 5) so you will never have moisture in your brake system. Lined gas tank so you will never have a problem with that. Engine has less than 5000 miles on it since rebuild. Front oil seal will leak if it isn’t driven for a few months. Engine, trans., transfer case, and title are from 1964 jeep cj. Has lock out hubs on front axle. 4×4 works like it should. Using 12 volt system, gages are 24 volt so they are not hooked up. Have a mech. oil press. gage under the hood just to be safe. Original speedometer quit working at 35,000 miles so I put this one in and it quit working 200 miles later it reads 18,000 miles. Tub was replaced with fiberglass tub. Rear view mirror is cloudy so I have a clip on mirror over it in the photos. Top looks like it was rarely used it’s in great condition also and is simple to put on. Undercariage looks great. Tires are like new. Clutch works smooth. Trans. shifter feels solid. Gets compliments everywhere I go.”
