1952 M-38 Knoxville, TN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38, Unusual • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

(10/02/2009) “Just so you know, I only accept cash payments. In this particular case, the money transaction and transfer of vehicle title will take place at your bank or ours, (your choice) plus proof of insurance required before you drive it off our property. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!

We have over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in this vehicle, and thereby truly understand that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!

Due to inheriting another vehicle, plus a lack of enough storage space to keep everything garaged, as well as not wanting to see this vehicle sit unused, we are looking for a new home for this Beauty. We are NOT selling because we need the money, so don’t waste your time or ours if you are not willing to pay the asking price! It is a STEAL at TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and no less will be considered.

Now is your chance to get a fantastic custom made item worth much, much more for only TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, less than half of what we have in it. (Have a folder full of receipts to prove it) It took 10 long years to put this baby together from parts. The paint job was chosen 2 months before 9-11-2001. (How ironic!) The whole thing was finished and driven the first time right before the first anniversary of 9-11. A newspaper photographer came out and took some pictures and it made the special section the Knoxville News Sentinel did for the 9-11 Anniversary featuring what people were doing to commemorate and remember the tragedy. We have a copy of that paper in our files.

Features include:
Extra Electric Radiator Fan
Chromoly roll cage frame mounted
CV Rear Drive Shaft (custom made)
(? 1983 ?) 4.3 Buick V6 Semi Race Cam Heavy Fly Wheel
Painless Wire Harness
LED Turn Signals
SM 420 Trans + Advance Adapter
Dana 20 Transfer
Dana 30 Front open ‘75
S10 Power Steering
Dana 44 Rear open ‘75
‘70’s Chevy Van Mag Wheels
36 X 1250 TSL Super Swampers
Warn 9500 I Winch
Custom Made Bumpers Front & Rear
Paint & Custom Fab by All American 4 Wheel Drive
Grant Steering Wheel
Metro Geo Seats
Spray Rubber Lining in Interior
Interior Heater Core from Caterpillar Bulldozer
Rear Traction Bars
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Spring over Conversion
1.5 inch body lift (It had to still fit in garage)
Axel Knuckles cut loose and rotated to 4.5 degrees to allow good front drive shaft angle and proper steering
Custom made rear 6 gallon aluminum gas tank with cushion crash bars to protect it, in addition to under seat plastic 10 gallon gas tank
Hand throttle

Serious inquiries only… PLEASE!

Interested? Rest assured, I delete PROMPTLY when an item is sold. Sorry, I’ve received too much spam to reply to emails. Just call 525-2616 between 8 am and 6 pm to ask about this Jeep.”

1952 M-38 Denver, Co **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: SOLD. Was on eBay.

“Note to bidders: Due to the nature of the vehicles that we sell on eBay (Rare, restored, unique, exotic, etc), many of our vehicles are purchased before the end of the auction. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OWNING THIS TRUCK, DO NOT WAIT…Email or call with your offer and we will work with you to get a deal done.

You are bidding on a very nicely restored 1952 Willys M38 Jeep. These trucks were specially prepared for military service in Korea and outfitted with many special features that set them apart from your regular Willys. And this one is even more special…read on…

The M38s have some cool features, check them out:
-Side mounted Shovel and Axe
-Accessible Battery Box on Cowl
-Dash Mounted Radio Connections
-Dual Fuel Tanks with Dash Mounted Switch
-Glovebox
-Headlight Guards
-Heavy Duty Frame and Suspension (Semi-Floating Dana 44 Rear Axle)
-Rear Auxiliary Gas Tank Mount

This Willys M38 no longer wears its military colors and it has been tastefully upgraded with the following:
-$1700 recently spent to sandblast and paint entire body (have receipt) NO RUST OR BONDO ON THIS TRUCK!
-Buick 235c.i. “Fireball” V-6 Motor Conversion
-Warn Overdrive – May have been original to the truck but this is not known for sure.
-Brand new top and doors from Bestop

This Willys retains much of its originality (even has 5 original steel wheels!) but has been modified with the paint, motor and top. This is a piece of history that can be driven every day.
There are lots of CJs and Jeeps out there for sale…why not own a rare one with a story to tell? Very few of these actually made it back from Korea and even fewer are in daily driver condition. This truck needs nothing but a new owner to put it on the road.

International Buyers: We have sold and shipped vehicles all over the world and have happy customers in Europe, Australia, Japan and the Middle East. Need a reference in your country or a shipping quote? Feel free to ask. We can assist with the transport to your home port as well as the required export/import paperwork.”
