1952 M-38 Knoxville, TN **SOLD**

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

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

(10/02/2009) “Just so you know, I only accept cash payments. In this particular case, the money transaction and transfer of vehicle title will take place at your bank or ours, (your choice) plus proof of insurance required before you drive it off our property. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!

We have over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in this vehicle, and thereby truly understand that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!

Due to inheriting another vehicle, plus a lack of enough storage space to keep everything garaged, as well as not wanting to see this vehicle sit unused, we are looking for a new home for this Beauty. We are NOT selling because we need the money, so don’t waste your time or ours if you are not willing to pay the asking price! It is a STEAL at TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and no less will be considered.

Now is your chance to get a fantastic custom made item worth much, much more for only TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, less than half of what we have in it. (Have a folder full of receipts to prove it) It took 10 long years to put this baby together from parts. The paint job was chosen 2 months before 9-11-2001. (How ironic!) The whole thing was finished and driven the first time right before the first anniversary of 9-11. A newspaper photographer came out and took some pictures and it made the special section the Knoxville News Sentinel did for the 9-11 Anniversary featuring what people were doing to commemorate and remember the tragedy. We have a copy of that paper in our files.

Features include:
Extra Electric Radiator Fan
Chromoly roll cage frame mounted
CV Rear Drive Shaft (custom made)
(? 1983 ?) 4.3 Buick V6 Semi Race Cam Heavy Fly Wheel
Painless Wire Harness
LED Turn Signals
SM 420 Trans + Advance Adapter
Dana 20 Transfer
Dana 30 Front open ‘75
S10 Power Steering
Dana 44 Rear open ‘75
‘70’s Chevy Van Mag Wheels
36 X 1250 TSL Super Swampers
Warn 9500 I Winch
Custom Made Bumpers Front & Rear
Paint & Custom Fab by All American 4 Wheel Drive
Grant Steering Wheel
Metro Geo Seats
Spray Rubber Lining in Interior
Interior Heater Core from Caterpillar Bulldozer
Rear Traction Bars
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Spring over Conversion
1.5 inch body lift (It had to still fit in garage)
Axel Knuckles cut loose and rotated to 4.5 degrees to allow good front drive shaft angle and proper steering
Custom made rear 6 gallon aluminum gas tank with cushion crash bars to protect it, in addition to under seat plastic 10 gallon gas tank
Hand throttle

Serious inquiries only… PLEASE!

Interested? Rest assured, I delete PROMPTLY when an item is sold. Sorry, I’ve received too much spam to reply to emails. Just call 525-2616 between 8 am and 6 pm to ask about this Jeep.”

Here is a crazy Snow Cone FJ.  I spotted these pictures the other day while looking for the swiss army CJ-5.  Steve must have spotted this crazy thing too, because he found the video below.

Marx Jumpin Jeep **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: Features, toys This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on Etsy for $40.

” have for sale an old windup toy called the Jumpin Jeep by Marx.. It is tin and from the late 1940’s after the war. It has been well played with and does have quite a bit of rust. The jeep, the front tires and one large tire isn’t that bad and the lithograph design is in good condition with minor rust. There is one large tire that needs to be replaced or repainted. The toy looks as though it was left outside laying on its side with one back tire perhaps in the dirt for some time. The bottom of the toy also shows signs of rust. The key is still present but it has been overwound. It moves a little but I can’t wind it. Overall I would rate it good simply because the lithos are still in pretty decent shape. The size of the toy is 5 1/2″ long about 4 1/2″ tall and 4″ wide from back tire to back tire”

Here’s pictures of a couple other jumping jeeps that realized $210 at auction in 2008.

1951 M-38 Southern California eBay

• CATEGORIES: News • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This isn’t stock, but appears to be a solid rig.

“This is a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep. Originally built for the US Military, it was sold as surplus in 1963, still unused in its wooden crate.It was bought by a family who converted it back then, to a GM V6 Fireball engine, free wheeling front hubs, and GM truck front brakes. It was used by this family for the next 46 years as a hunting vehicle. I bought it 3 years ago with 7,500 miles on the clock, which may or may not be accurate. I have added 2,000 miles since then.

I have had the vehicle completely restored during the 3 years, and just about everything has been either renovated, replaced or repaired. EVERYTHING! I use it as my local daily driver, and it has always been a hoot to drive, with about 160 hp instead of 65 hp. Everything works perfectly. It has a complete all weather Beechwood cover as well. It also has a towing bar.

It has been welcomed in all the 4th July parades and gets more attention at car gatherings than Ferraris’!

It is not 100% original, but it does look the part, and everyone smiles when they see it. You can even invade small countries at the weekend with it.

There is a reserve on it, equal to about what I have invested in it during my ownership, but I will not disclose this, so please do not ask.

Obviously there is no warranty, implied or otherwise, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.”
