UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875. It was listed on eBay

This has a solid looking body, though there have been a few mods to it (and the rest of the jeep).

“Well I’m sure no expert on jeeps, but this m-38 jeep was almost given to me by a friend. This information is just as I’ve received it from him.

This jeep has just sat idle in a car port for the last 5 years or so. First I will list the minuses as I see them. It has not run for several years. It needs  seats (but I have the base frames).  It will require whatever sitting idle for 5 years would require. (fresh gas, tune up, fluids, battery etc). I do not have a top, or a key.

Now for some of its pluses.
This Jeep had a v-6 Buick professionally installed some years back. The install looks as if it came from the factory. (nice Job)

This jeep was running and driving well when it was last parked. It has the military 5:38 gears, axe mount, and one run “dark light”.

This jeep is almost 60 years old and not rusty. The floors, bed, and body are excellent.”

Here’s a parts vehicle.

This is listed as a 1946, but is at least partly M-38.

UPDATE:  Price dropped to $1200.

“1953 but title says 1943. Has a 302 that was installed and I sold the fenders and grille that was cut for that engine. So now it has the right grille and hood but not cut so the radiator is not installed since I did not want to cut a hard to find jeep part. They only made this jeep from 51 to 53. It does have a M38 top with data plates for the top. Top is something we can deal on and does not go with the jeep. I paid $400 for the top. And the top fits 2A’s and 3A’s.  The engine runs. I ran it before I removed the radiator and other grille. Sounded good. I do have the master cylinder for the brakes which is why I never drove it. Has the wrong hood since the M38 hood should have the snorkel and jumper openings on the passenger side of the hood. Body needs a lot of welding and the back wheel wells have seperated on the drivers side since the previous owner did not weld it and just used bondo and fiberglass to keep it together. Its not a lost cause but does need a lot of work. I may have a 4 cylinder which is not a M38 that we can deal on but it needs rebuilt. All in all with some spot welds and brake fixed and radiator installed it could drive. I just have too many projects and not enough time. I would consider partial trade for hunting items or a small trailer that can haul trash and my large 4 wheeler. Something with larger tires and newer with a ramp. As I said the top and 4 cylinder are something we can deal on. This is a rare jeep of the Korean era.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500

Check out the heater between the seats.  Anyone recognize it?  There is something odd about the top rim of the passenger side of this body.  At first I thought the rear of the body had been replaced with a M-38a1/cj-5 body.  Now I think it is a way to keep the water out when the soft top doors are installed.

“I have a 1952 willies jeep m-38 1/4 ton 4×4, in real good running condition. I’m asking $5,500 o.b.o.”
