1952 M-38 Body Monterey, CA $500

No pics provided.

“For sale is an original 1952 M38 military tub (main body) with the front fenders, all restorable. The tub needs work but isn’t that hard to bring back to life. The fenders especially are in good shape, especially for their age. This was the “last of the flatfender” Jeeps, similar to the CJ3A civilian version but military instead. the M38 had a tailgate as standard, but no tailgate is included with the tub. Ther are some extra M38 items I have I won’t be needing but I’m perfectly willing to include with the sale of the tub. I need some of my hangar space back. The tub and its bits will fit in a good-sized pickup truck; it fits fine in my 1989 Ford F250 (which is also for sale, price on request if interested). Call 831 372 9215 for more details.  Photos on request.”

Mark’s Rear Seat Solution for his Jeepster

Mark recently hit the 1 year anniversary with “Her Royal Highness” (That would be his Jeepster, not his wife).   He’s been updating her throughout the year.  Here he comments on his rear seat find.

Mark writes, “Halloween night marks the end of Year one for the 49 Jeepster I named “Her Royal Highness”. I’m a middle-age crazy rookie that knew very little about rebuilding an auto when I started (some strong arguments that I still don’t) [ed note: some days, I don’t feel to smart either!]. I decided to leave the aged patina Windsor green paint for now because there’s very little rust and it doesn’t look that bad. She’s a great runner and a fine Sunday truck.

I wanted to put in tan leather buckets to improve comfort and to be able to call her the original “King Ranch Willys”. A few days ago I saw an ad for 1999 Mitsubishi Eclipse seats, ‘$20 bucks and wife wants them out of my garage’. So, I went over to check out the seats. I discovered the buckets were trash, but the back was practically new. I bought it and carted it home.

Wouldn’t you know, that back seat fit into the back of the Jeepster like it always belonged! A couple of cleats, some zip ties, a little leather remnant from the fabric store over some 3/8″ ply and here you go. The seat backs fit on the original back frame with a little ingenuity. Folded down it makes for a convenient map table. The front buckets are still in my cross hairs and they will be found eventually, but who knew that backseat would fit so nicely, 50 years later!”

Here’s a reminder of “Her Royal Highness”

Here’s what it looks like with no seat:

Here’s the seat installed:

Hein’s Updated Electronics re-Power his F-head ….

November 2, 2010 • CATEGORIES: CJ-3B, Features, International, Reader Stories This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I received an email from Hein a few days ago regarding his CJ-3B.  His email is a good reminder that if your engine lacks power, you might consider improving the electronics.  Thanks for sharing!

Hein writes, “Since the rebuild last-year,  I have been putting-off the replacement of the hand-brake cable.  So a call to Marathon-Spares (in Australia) was way overdue! While ordering these spares I had a chat with Neil about my rough running engine, thinking I should get a new set of points and condensor as well as bushes, cap etc for the distributor.

He told me he had just replaced the motor in his MB with a Toyota 2.4, because it is used as a daily-driver and advertising for his business, so he offered me the complete Dizzy out of his motor for a mere $75! Needless to say I didn’t hesitate a moment to include that in the package as well.  The interesting bit is that it is a solid-state unit requiring a Electronic-coil and the removal of the wound-wire ballast-resistor (we had to get a Auto-Electrician in to help with the wiring bit), but the result could not have been more Amazing!!!

Suddenly, it felt like I had replaced the whole motor ! The old F-head had so much more punch that it blew out the rusty spots on the muffler, so just yesterday I replaced the whole system with a slightly larger-diametre complete Stainless-Steel system, which not only further enhanced the performance but also gave the old-girl a distincly cocky snarl too.  I don’t think I am exagerating if I say the combination must have increased overall output by between 30 and 5o%! Other than finding a completely new one that was preserved in a time-capsule somewhere, this must be as close to driving one straight off the dealers floor in ’53 as you can come today.  I won’t even trade it for one of those brand-new Icon Replicas now, although I wouldn’t mind having one of them as a daily-driver too?”

Hein’s CJ-3B has been featured at the CJ-3B Page.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

This is a nice looking CJ-3A, but it isn’t all original except for the 12 volt.

“1953 Willys Jep CJ2A. Completly restored. Excllent condition. Has Two tops ,full cloth and bimini top cloth. Has 5 orginal rims and 4 new larger rims and tires. Has large original winch from the 50’s Drives great. Storing space and My ability to enter and exit the vehicle force me to sell. It has been converted to the 12volt system that is the only thing that is not original, See Photos,call for serious inquries only. For jeep lovers these this vehicle is a must. Jeeps in the 50’s still running are hard to find,and in this condition are very rare. JEEP ALSO COMES WITH TOW BAR”
