“1951 M38 military jeep for sale. Clear title with 14,000 miles on the odometer. This Jeep originally came from Arizona so it has no rust -solid body and frame. New tires with lockouts. Original engine. Must be seen to be appreciated. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

Mike, who’s admitted he’s addicted to searching for jeeps everywhere (welcome to the club!), spotted this one for sale. He reports there is rust and no data plates. The odd part about this M-38 is the lack of a driver’s side filler hole.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400

This looks like a parts jeep.

“I have for sale a 1951 M38. Rebuilt radiator, seat frames, bumperettes, instrument cluster, data tags and lots of misc. parts also go with this jeep. Vehicle is not running. Engine, trany and transfer case there. There is rust through the floor about where passenger would put his feet and the front drivers side fender. floor under gas tank and tool box are solid and not rotted out. $1400.00 or best offer. Trades considered, tell me what you have.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

(05/28/2013) The seller needs to adjust several of the claims, but I do find the spool on the front of this jeep interesting.

“This is not a civilian clone it’s a true military unit.
1 of 40,000 made – the rarest of the Willys military Jeeps.
It’s not running because it needs plug wires and tuning.
The front passenger side tire inner tube needs to be replaced.
The body is not perfect – the worst is the tool box under the passenger seat – a replacement costs $80.”

The lower edge of the body looks like it has been changed/modified.

“Nice 1952 Willys M38 with no rust or body issues. This is the military version of the CJ3A. Buick V6 with low hours. Rancho Suspension. Full Roll Cage. Warn 6000 winch. Tow Bar. Full floating rear axle with warn hubs for flat towing. Lockrite lockers in rear differential. Newer Best Top. Bikini Top. Nice tires/wheels. This is not a project jeep. It’s a nice classic Willys flatfender that runs and drives. It’s priced to sell. I’m only selling it because I’m just too busy to use it. No trades. Thanks for looking. Mark 541-490-6586”

This might be worth a look.

“This 1952 Willys M38 Jeep is a running driving Jeep. Still has the 24volt electrical system. This Jeep is original and unrestored, also has very little rust. Has very good military tires on original military rims. This is a good candidate for a military restoration. I’ll be glad to answer question by email or phone”

Listed as a 3A, it looks more like a M-38 to me. Probably first titled in 1953.

“1953 CJ3A 134L flat head 4. Runs perfect. All 4×4 works good. Pan is in excellent shape. Needs brake work and gas tank. Running on boat tank now. New tank 157.00 from www.KaiserWillys.com. text or call 7692187045. May trade for rat rod, old hot rod.”
