UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(09/23/2011) This has some updates. The front bumper is .. unusual.
“1950 Willys jeep, flat fender. BuickV6, The following is all NEW parts- Overdrive, 11inch front brakes, new rear and front drums,shoes etc, master cylinder. New timing cover and oil pump(this was done because the early Buick V6 was built with real sloppy tolerances, which resulted in low oil pressure) All New tune up parts. Runs Great. Send Email w/ Tel # Lumpy”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $3600.
The number on the side suggests this might have been raced or entered in PNW events at some point. The windshield sort of looks CJ-3Bish, but the tubing arms looking CJ-2Aish to me.
“For Sale 1952 Willys M38 Jeep. This jeep has spent most of it’s life as an airport/fire and maintence vehicle. It is rust free and straight! Has a four cylinder flat head jeep engine that smokes slightly. Also comes with a spare engine (cracked block) that has a lot of good parts. Has a fully enclosed canvas top. This would make a great starter jeep for someone looking to restore a military jeep back to it’s original condition. Cash money only, no trades!”

“Modified with V6 buick motor, springs mounted on top of axles, tow bar, newer top and doors, some older parts saved. Has not run for a couple years”

(09/11/2011) The body is a M-38, but the serial number indicates a CJ-3B. (though the 153-GB2 should actually be 453-GB2). So, I’m gonna guess that has been assembled from several jeeps.
“1953 Jeep Willys. In running condition. Serial # 153-GB2 30912.”

This ran last year. It looks promising.
“1952 all original . We have original rims and tires along with the original doors for the jeep . Body is in good shape . Ran last year and didn’t start this year . Still turns over . Just Dont have time to look into Jeep or use it . Good old jeep . Always shedded”
This appears solid.
“This Jeep is awesome. I bought it from a military man who had the engine rebuilt and took great car of it, he used it in parades. It was titled in GA as a 1947 and when I bought it the SC title was left as a 1947. His son, who I bought it from said it was a ’52 and was used in the Korean War and from all indications this seems to be accurate, as this is not a Civilian Jeep. The actual mileage is unknown, but not many miles have driven since the engine rebuild. Shifts and drives great. I mean really great. It’s like a dream to be in it.
I had just had the entire brake system replaced, down to the hoses to make sure the next owner can feel confident in their safety. It was also had a tune up, new battery and runs awesome. Just got it back and put about $1,600 into it, so please bid with confidence
This Jeep owns the road, you can drive it and smile, as it feels amazing. Be prepared for ton of compliments, and has no problem keeping up with traffic and tops out at about 50mph.
Needs windshield and wipers, but did not get them because I keep the windshield down. Fuel and temp gauge do not work. It also could use a small piece of sheet metal on the bottom side of passenger’s seat under the tool box area.
So sad I have to sell this, and really hope it finds someone that really appreciates it. This jeep is ready to be enjoyed! So stop by and we can take it for a spin, and feel free to ask me any questions.”

“This vehicle is a rare find. Its a 1950s Willy’s M38 in the United States Air Force “flight line” paint job. This Willys would have been used during the Korean Conflict. This vehicle came direct out of a museum in Minnesota (Commerative Air Force) and we are selling this vehicle because we are a non-profit and have to let it go in order to fund our upcoming fiscal year. The vehicle runs great and has NO RUST! It has a new battery (and the conversion was made prior to us securing this vehicle a year ago). If you would like more information please contact me.”
