1950? CJV-35U? Fayetteville, NC **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Walter spotted this jeep. Seeing the pintle hitch on the back and the hooks on the left got me wondering what this was. Then it has small cutout on the hood. Finally, I spotted the CJV-35U-like bezels. This is worth checking out.
“Project Willis Jeep, motor and drive train components are all there. Body is in really good shape. Floor pans and frame have no salt water or up north rust.”

“Here is a 1948 Willys Jeep with a 6.5 foot plow. No Doors, no windshield, no roof. This is a great yard vehicle. Needs a brake job since they are not working right now. This is a great piece of Americana!! Original flathead 4 cylinder, three speed stick, one seat. Recent clutch and starter done”
Year? M-38A1 Dallas, TX **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This was used by a rural fire department.
“Up for auction is a very nice Willys M38A1 military Jeep. This is an excellent restoration prospect! I have had this one for a number of years and do not have the time to restore it, so I have put it on the market for an immediate sale. It is the second generation version without the hinged grill. It was used by a rural fire department, as you can see by the lettering. You can also see the remains of the original U.S. Army lettering, along with the hood number. There was no id plate with the other data plates, although all of the others are present. This is a true “barn find”, an although I have owned it for several years, it is still in its original condition that it was when I got it. It is unmolested and still has all of the 24 volt gear in place. The fire department did cut out the back panel, which can be easily found and replaced. It is so well done that it almost appears to be a M38A1C, but of course, does not have the correct windshield for that configuration. I am amazed at the solid floors, hat channels,etc. They are all in excellent condition. Take a close look at all of the pictures. This could be a candidate for a museum quality restoration! The two original front seat frames are present and in good condition. The original gas tank and its plumbing is there, but I have not attempted to use it. A very nice set of top bows comes with this Jeep. Nice original military wheels and Cooper military tires. The engine turns by hand, but again, I have not tried to start it. I would bet that it will start right up with a new set of batteries, fresh fuel supply.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $1000
There looks like value here.
“1954 Willys Jeep M38A1. I have a 1954 project, or parts Jeep for sale. I bought this back in the summer with intentions of simply getting running and use as-is… It was a project when I purchased it, meaning one of the previous owners started to put a “rebuilt” crate engine into it (needs to all be re-done). After a short while of getting into it, Corosealing some of the heavily rusted spots and making a parts list of what I’d need to get it going. I’ve decided without an adequate donor vehicle, this one isn’t worth my time. Besides, I’m putting the house on the market, and this has to vacate my driveway.
On the plus side, this ol’ girl does have a fresh Washington State title in my name.”

1941 Slat Grille MB PInehurst, ID **SOLD**
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an early Slattie.
“1941 willys mb slat grille. this is a very early jeep. according to the gee 503 dot com. some say it is a first or second day production.
I will list specifics that this jeep has. it has a running willys engine. with a mb 111471 that is the number on the water pump housing on the jeep engine. which consequently is the vin number. no dash plate with number or number on the frame.
this engine runs and purrs like a kitten. I base all my information of the g503 where this is a possible us replacement army engine out of the 50s but it is NOT the correct engine.
Some awesome pieces are included in the sale. Slat grille radiator (which may have a leak in the middle) Gas gauge. previous owner said it worked when the tank was full. but I doubt it. don’ tknow. air filter is early as well. there a slat air deflectors on the side of the fenders. and the big one on bottom of the hood. engine smokes a little when it is first fired up. but the jeep drives starts stops. all three gears work”
