Mike’s Electric 1953 M-38A1

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

Robin discovered this cool jeep: an electric 1953 M-38A1.

Robin writes, “The owner, Mike Sudik, is an electrician and president of Big Sky Solar Wind out of Missoula, MT. Mike removed the engine several years ago (now owned by Robin) and replaced it with a DC electric motor. The top speed has been 45 mph and goes about 60-90 miles on a charge.  The “top” is actually a solar panel used to charge the 12V system for his PA and stereo.

He has detailed his adventure at: http://www.bigskysolar-wind.blogspot.com/. On his website are pictures showing how he accomplished the task. He had the Jeep listed as a CJ-3A but he now knows that it is an M-38A1. In fact, he probably got way more info (from me) than he ever expected. 🙂 He is a really great guy and I thought your readers might like to see what he has done. I have some pictures here:

Cool Willys Sports Graphic

• CATEGORIES: Artists/Drawings, Features • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

As part of getting my computer up and running again (whew!), I tested out various pieces of hardware (like my scanner), only to discover Apple’s new OS (Mavericks) is more advanced than the drivers. However, with some software gymnastics, I got it working. Here’s the first result (I had to clean this up quite a bit). It’s a Sports Graphic from the 1945 issue of Willys War News. I’ll be doing a full scan of that at some future point.

1946 CJ-2A Danville, VA **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.

“My 1946 CJ2A serial # 57110 was purchased new by a farmer in a neighboring town and used on the farm until the belt broke. When I bought it, the broken belt was still hanging on it. It had 12168 miles on it. It had been parked under a shed with the front end exposed to weather. The front suffered a lot of rust, but the rear half was in good shape. I rebuilt the engine because the valve guides were pushed out when I turned the engine. Number 4 cylinder was badly pitted. I had a sleeve installed. All pistons were unharmed and were reused. I installed all new bearings and seals, and it runs like a top. All brake components except linings were also replaced. I drive it a few times a year and it runs very nice at 45-50 mph.

This Willys has the agrijeep package with the governor, HD radiator, PTO, hydraulic pump ( not installed ) and Monroe lift. I also think I have a belt accessory attachment for it. There are several other items, including a rear seat, I have accumulated that I cannot remember now. It has never been wet, except when I washed it one time, since I finished it. It can use a little TLC from shop wear.

I had a custom wiring harness like the original made and added wiring for signal lights. It has the original 6 volt electrical system.

I am asking $15,000.00 for it. I got this estimate from a person who organized a Willys show 3 years ago. As I get older, I have decided to get rid of TOYS. If you are interested in a quality CJ, this is it.
