1957 Jeep Willys M-38A1 $10,000 Coatsburg, IL

Going M-38A1 here on this one, listed a Universal and I have not run across that before. Most of it is M-38A1 looking for sure. Not much of description, so cant tell if its 24V and the sort, has some classic Wagon Wheels and I still think in 10 years they will be the future with folks looking for the special markings on the inside of the wheel and dissecting the minor details of the various is it a genuine Wagon Wheel. WDIK.

All original, runs good
