1950 M-38 Terry, MS **SOLD**

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

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $13,500

“What you are looking at is a 1950 Willys M38 (MC) military Jeep. These Jeeps were used during the Korean war era. This Jeep has been motor-pool restored and is in near perfect condition. It has been converted to a 12 volt system for the convenience of finding parts locally. I installed a left hand tail light on the right side to make it easier for other drivers to see for safer driving. Drives great. Original 134L engine runs strong with great oil pressure! Original T-90 transmission shifts like new! Older replacement Body tub. No bondo. All metal. Fuel gauge and e-brake are not operational and could use windshield wiper blades. Four wheel drive works as it should! Tires are Nos mud and snow grips that I found in a warehouse and are in good shape. Clear title. It is a hop in and go piece of U.S. history. All you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. I will repair anything that may need replacing for a 6 month period as long as the Jeep and the parts to make the repair are both brought to me to do so.
asking 13,500 OBO will consider cash offers. Also on ebay.
Call/text 601-398-7433 ask for Bryan.”

1945 JeepRod Knoxville, TN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Jeep Rods This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: Was listed at $4200. **SOLD**

You can view the build thread here: http://www.knoxoffroad.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5031 (you have to scroll down within the thread). Needs finishing.

“I’m not hurting on this at all! With us looking to buy a a home this year and financial progress on hold until that is done, I am considering selling the willys hot rod for the $4200 I have in it. That’s as a roller with good motor/ trans, but still needing nickel and dime parts. I’ll finish it if I don’t sell it once we have our own place but it’s money that could be used else where for now. It does not run or drive right now, still needs finishing. Brakes, cooling system, plumbed, rear coil overs or airbags, paint, steering work, paneling to cover rear… Hopefully this will weed out some of the tire kickers and “serious buyers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

This is not in the best of condition, but it is unusual.

“Up for auction is a brightly patterned tropical shirt featuring images of Jeeps, vans, trucks and woody wagons.  There are palm trees, surfboards and smiling dogs also featured.   The shirt is used and made of 100% cotton, so it is faded from washing and may have shrunk even though the tag says Size Large.   It has short sleeves and a polo-shirt like button-up front opening.  This shirt will look equally good worn by a man or a woman. ”
