1953 M-38A1 Trego, MT $5500
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/07/2017) Seller must sell. Needs batteries and might need some engine work.
“All original with only 28,000 miles. Has new springs, brakes, drums, wheel cylinders, clutch, regulator, plugs and wires, rebuilt carb. Was overhauled last year with hardened valve seats. Rear cam bearing should be installed as it has low oil pressure and started knocking. Does need new batteries. I have the original top but not the bows. Need to sell so offers are considered.”

1953 M-38A1 Cortland, NY $2995
Craig shared this one. It includes a Warn OD.
“Started life as a military M38A1. Has since been blended with several donor CJ5’s. Converted to 12 volt alternator, lights and starter. Wheels are standard 15”. Seats are out of a ’72 Scout. Rear of Jeep was removed by a previous owner so I installed a tailgait and have included a new tailgait yet to be painted. A new windshield frame and gasket is also included as the one on it has cracked.
It’s been sitting for several years. Runs great, Moves, but won’t stop. Brakes will need to be addressed. I will include new wheel cylinders, but the master cylinder should probably be replaced also. Includes an older Besttop soft top with doors. Doors are good. Top has a few issues.
4 cylinder f head engine.
3 speed trans with a rare Warn “all-range” overdrive. New, the overdrive sells for $1000+. Overdrive is still manufactured and sold by Advance Adapters as a Saturn overdrive.”
