1960 M38A1/CJ5 Jeep – $7,500 Cortez, CO
INFORMATION FROM SELLER:
FOR SALE: 1960 JEEP CJ-5/M38A1
Offered for sale is a very nice CJ-5/M38A1 Jeep.
Starting out with an M38A1 and a 1960 CJ-5, the CJ body tub, was combined with the
M38A1 grille, hood, fenders, dashboard and the various minor elements that
distinguish the M38A1 from the CJ-5.
The body is rust and Bondo free, with a single patch panel having been applied to the
right rear quarter where the CJ-5 spare tire mount originally was. Paint is O.D. Green
While not an original M38A1, almost every effort has been made to replicate the M38A1
military vehicle design. This Jeep has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system and
completely rewired. There are several distinct advantages to the CJ-5 body, including
an opening tailgate (eliminated on the M38A1), under seat tool box, cabin heater,
electric windshield wiper (driver side only), lighter rate spring packs (better ride) and
cheaper replacement part costs.
Details normally found on the M38A1, but missing on this example, include: the
machine gun mounting reinforcements found on the underside of the body tub, the
military trailer light plug, the under cowl battery tray (the access port cover is there), passenger side straps, 4 ½” fuel
tank filler and the top bow brackets.
