“I am selling a 1952 Korean War Willys Jeep. I believe the year is correct as the serial number is MC 70728. Runs strong and good oil pressure but does smoke when cold and a little when warm. 52 psi oil pressure cold, 25 psi when warm. Have some extras that go with it like the 16″ rims but it is missing one 16″ tire so I can’t mount them. The 15″ inch rims that are on it are from a civilian CJ. Has been converted to 12 volts (was 24) with an alternator kit. Needs a brake job. This jeep has VERY LITTLE rust for any age let alone the fact that it is 63 years old. It has NO BONDO. This would make an excellent restore project or great for the trails as is. but brakes would help:). Drives and shifts great and all gears work well. I believe it was an ex Air Force Jeep by the blue paint and military mud flaps that where on it that they used on the flight line. At one time it had the words ” PERSONNEL SERVICES” painted on each side of the hood. Under that are the original unit numbers. I do not have a title for it but all you need is a bill of sale to get one.”

“I have a 1951 Willys M38 military 1/4 ton Jeep in unrestored condition for sale. M38 ‘flat fender’ serial MC45xxx, built 12-51. The body does have some rust and body-putty patchwork but otherwise is in a reasonably restorable condition. The M38 has had its original engine replaced by a F4-134 Hurricane and thus a hole was cut in the hood for clearance. I do have a more correct L-134 engine listed for sale elsewhere. The 24v electrics were removed and rewired by 12v stock equipment. The brakes have been rebuilt and the vehicle was runnable as of 2008, but has been under tarp since then, and has deteriorated. I have a clear title, but it is not complete, will provide details if interested. Please call me for more info… Continue reading
