UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was $7000

I like a lot of things about this jeep, but I don’t get the bumpers — those are bumpers, aren’t they?  As far as I know, M-38s were stopped in ’52.

Rollcage is now painted olive drab along with back tube bumper and star on hood. Also now has 31×10.5 tires on black spoke wheels.”

Are those some kind of blackout headlights?  I haven’t seen those before.  There’s a few minor things to quibble with, but it sure looks great.  I really have to start building that eWillys travel budget!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.

This jeep looks like it rides a little high.  Either it’s got re-arched springs or tall shackles.

“This rig replaces the standard engine with a 1972 Ford Pinto 2.0L engine for extra kick! Installed are a FRESH TRANSMISSION and a FRESH TRANSFER CASE!!! Aftermarket shocks are installed both front and rear, and combined with the installed front hub locks and front hitch, makes this a great basic off-roading package! Comes with an aftermarket rollbar, set of 5 original military tires, an original military gas can, and set of 4 Super Swamper 32″ off-road tires”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900

“I have for sale a 1953 m-38 willys jeep. Original engine runs good. Body in good shape for a jeep of this era. Sorry not interested in any trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. Has a replacement body.

The seller lists two different prices for this M-38.  Strangely, the dashboard looks like a M-38, but there are no passenger side cutouts and no battery cowl lid.

“1952 Willis Jeep. Runs good and has a sound body. All gears are good. Enclosure included (soft top and sides). Removable back seat, gun rack, and tow bar. The vinyl seats are cracked, as is the windshield. This Jeep was restored before I bought it and has locking hubs and wide tires. (I have two of the original tires and rims.) I have owned it for 10+ years and used it for hunting, playing, etc. It is kept in a shelter. Due to infrequent use, I am willing to part with it. $5000 Cash OBO”

This is a very good price on a running M-38.  Is that the driver-side step hanging off the body?

“Cheaper than a 4 wheeler and alot more fun! Engine rebuilt, brakes good
