UPDATE:  Price dropped to $2500

(01/23/2012) The body may be straight, but it looks like work has been done to the rear and to the passenger side.

“I have for sale a 1948 willy’s jeep. I am the second owner of this fine vehicle, The body is completly strait, At one time it was painted charcole grey poly metalic with hot pink pin striping. The sun has since faded it out, I have an extra roll bar, the orginal set of 6.50 16,s I have a set of 31-10 -50’s just for looks. I have an overdrive for it never was installed pieces may be missing. I have’nt driven it, for a many of years, It ran great when I parked it. I ‘m sure a lot of rubber hoses ect. must be replaced It was a great jeep, I hate to part with it, but it needs to go to someone who will fix it up to what it once was.”

1953 M-38A1 Oldsmar, FL Make Offer

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This appears solid.

“Best Cash Offer!

Invested well over $10K in the last 12 months, not including the price of the jeep.

It’s a 53 titled as a 56. We had a 56 body tub shipped from Indiana before the build.

Lots of new parts to include motor, gaskets, fuel tank and lines, fuel pump coil, dash, gauges, wiring harness, oil lines, condenser, tires, wheel bearings, steering assembly and a bunch more.

Everything works great, a little hesitation from the carb when cold, but other than that, vehicle runs great. Minor TLC just like any other older vehicle. Drove it every day last summer, just sits in storage now. I would be willing to entertain trades, looking for a 78-79 Ford Bronco XLT Ranger, must be mint. Have cash to put towards any trade. Please include a phone number in your reply as I need to be able to filter the spam.”

April 1: From Cathedral Valley to I-70

<– Day 14 – March 31: From Wolverine Loop to Cathedral Valley | Overview | Day 16 & 17 – Burgers and the Terra Tires Challenge –>

The rising sun at Cathedral Valley Campground.

After a night of light rain, we woke up to sun and clouds.  I wished we had a few days to relax, jeep and hike, but we had to return to Salt Lake to have  an April Fools’ dinner in the evening with my kids, so we broke camp early in the morning.

Cathedral Valley in the morning. Capitol Reef National Park.

2013-04-01-to-i70

To leave Cathedral Valley we had two options. We could go back the way we came (drive south then take the highways north) or head north towards I-70 and hope we could make it. The day before I asked the National Park Ranger if the roads led all the way to I-70. He said we could make it if we knew what we were doing and had a map of the area.

I felt we knew what we were doing, but we lacked an accurate map. Still, I figured we could make it without a map, because we had tall mountains on our left and the San Rafael Swell on our right. And, we had a compass. We had food, gas and water. All we had to due was keep heading north.

As we packed up camp for the drive north, a miracle occurred. I had thought I packed only one map: a general map of the US. It turns out that I had packed a second map: a map of the San Rafael Swell area. That map showed all the roads we needed to take in order to reach I-70. With the guess work out of it, we could relax and enjoy the trip a little more.

Our drive through Cathedral Valley.

Before we left the park, we stopped at a spot called the Gypsum Sinkhole. I didn’t see any gypsum, but there was a big hole. You can just see Ann’s shadow at the edge of the shadow.
