UPDATE:  This is on eBay, too.

(09/04/2012) This seller want a Model A.

“This is my 1952 Model M38 U.S. Army jeep. Garage kept. This is one the last of the flat fender jeeps. Introduced in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean war. Only 45,173 were made. Production ended in Sept of 1952. I rebuilt it from the ground up, complete body off restoration 3 years ago. NO RUST ANYWHERE! All parts were sandblasted and primed. This included the chassis, body, fenders, and all parts large and small. Any rusted parts were discarded and replaced. All new NDCC military tires, new brake system, new wiring harness, gas tank seats, canvas. The jeep had a Ford Pinto engine when I got it. I got rid of that and installed a rebuilt Willys L4-134 “Go Devil” 60 HP engine which was the original for this Jeep. I also upgraded to a 12 Volt system including a one wire alternator. Installed front seat belts and turn signals. The drive train is in excellent operating condition. It’s been driven only 1000 miles or so since restore. Mostly to military, car shows, and parades. The siren gets this Jeep plenty of attention at parades and at these events from vets and the general public. Lots of “Thumbs Up” from other drivers when driven around town. Drive it anywhere at 40 or 45 MPH. For longer distances, it has a tow bar with 2″ ball and electrical connections. It can be flat towed. No trailer needed.
.
I have really enjoyed the Jeep, But it’s time get a new toy.. I have always had interest in Model A Fords and would be interested in trading for a coupe or roadster with rumble seat. in comparable condition. If you have one, email me with a pix a brief description. If we are mutually interested, we can go from there. Not interested in hot rods or repros. Just a plain old Model A.”

UPDATE:  Was $4600.**SOLD**

(08/22/2011) This looks in good shape.  I bet that it hasn’t ever been restored, as it has a nice patina about it.

“1952 Military M-38 Willys. Excellent Condition Second Owner Runs Excellent 4×4 Contact Number ”

This looks like a solid combo.

“Once retired from service with the military, this M38 Willys was used by a city in Colorado as a spray vehicle until purchased by a civilian here in Kansas and partially restored. Jeep runs and drives very well. All lights work, including trailer lights. Jeep has good tires, as well as trailer; one tire is new. Includes a new vinyl top and doors. Must be purchased as a set.”

UPDATE:  Sold.  Was listed at $8000.

This looks like a solid M-38.  The title is TN, but I believe Winchester is in KY.

“Nice running M38 jeep, 1952 model with Tennessee title, new tires, new batteries and recently rebuilt engine. No trades”

It looks good from a distance, but no close up images provided.

“Reluctantly selling my 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. This jeep is almost entirely original, so it is a steal at this price, well below NADA. You will see fully restored jeeps for $15,000 or more. This jeep is well on its way, but much more affordable. This jeep runs great, 4X4 is operational, will climb anything and go anywhere. Great for four wheeling, hunting, or just cruising around town. It has the famous 3 speed, flat four engine. Many parts of this jeep have been restored to original condition, including new seat covers (original canvas style), new headlights and blackout lights, new tires, new windshield/gasket, and much more. Garage kept.”

Here’s a very nice M-38.

“In the mid nineties I did a complete body off frame restoration of this M38 over a period of 4 years spending hundreds of hours. Every part was sandblasted and refurbished with NOS and new parts used where needed to restore to original.Included is a full winter enclosure with doors and side curtains.Also included are copies of the TM9-1804A, TM9-8012, ORD 9 SNL G-8012 and an original copy of TM9-1804B dated 1952, also original jack, handle, lug wrench and canvas pouch. The engine was rebuild with new rod and main bearings, valves reground, new pistons and rings, all new gaskets and seals. The transmission and transfer case were disassembled and necessary parts replaced and new seals and gaskets. Same goes for front and rear axels and drive shafts. New brake cylinders, lines, mastercylinder and shoes were installed.

NOS (new old stock) parts are as follows: radiator, air filter and precleaner, tail gate, driver and passenger seat frames, front floor panel, spare tire rack gas can holder, top bow and brackets, 24 volt recep, underhood battery box, tool box door, seat springs, vacumn wipers, vehicle data plates, cold weather primer, muffler and tail pipe, waterproof light switches, shackles on front and rear bumpers and other small items.

A complete new waterproof wiring harness using original douglas connectors was added. two new 12 volt batteries have just been bought. All of the waterproof vent system was replaced

The old gas tank was replaced with a new repro and sealed on the inside.

Some of the features are: 24 volt electrical system with one 12v battery under the hood and another mounted in the cowl area. The distributor, spark plugs, starter, generator, horn, all electrical are waterproof along with the engine and drive train. The blackout light on the fender and all blackout lights are functional, new windshield glass and weatherstripping added, new welting added between body parts, new shocks front and rear.

Every effort was made to restore as original as possible. Since restoration I have only put about 20 miles on it mostly trailering to car shows. In 1996 It won the peoples choice award at the Ga MVPA rally in Helen, Ga. It has always been garaged. I have the original Tenn clear title dated 1980.
