UPDATE: This is back on eBay
There might be some value here.
“This Willys was running and driving when parks a few years ago. Bet you never heard that one before. I didn’t think so. Ok, here’s the deal. I picked up this Jeep a few weeks back because I wanted to get rid of the Buick V6 in my flat fender and put it back original. This one looked like a good candidate. Well, almost.
First of all, its an M38 and while not the best candidate of restoration, it is a little to good to part out without trying to save it as a whole vehicle. Secondly, the engine was stuck. It had been sitting under a shed for about 5 years so I didn’t anticipate it being real serious, so I pulled the head just to see. The pictures pretty much tell the story, but I’ll describe. The good is there is no ring groove and probably a light honing will clear the cylinders up. But it is going to have to be torn down. #3 piston has a couple of broke pieces missing out of it. Don’t exactly know how or why, but it is what it is.
Other than that, its a pretty complete old Jeep. All the engine parts are in place, except the conversion to 12v. generator. Nice windshield. Good seat frames. Study the pictures. The tag on the dash is definitely not original and I don’t recognize the number as an M38 number but there is an ID. This is BILL OF SALE ONLY!!! Please don’t expect anything more. I won’t try to get a title don’t even ask. ”
