This looks like a solid M-38A1. It has some odd gauge behavior according to the seller.
“As I can tell, this is as close as possible to a 100% restoration of a military Jeep. I bought it about 6 years ago in this condition. The odometer had about 13,000 miles on it, but the speedometer cable was broke. I have since installed a new cable, and the odometer now shows 16,100 miles. This is a fun Jeep to drive and a head turner. I drive it in Veteran Day’s parades, and drive it to car shows within a 60 miles radius from where I live in Southeast Kansas.
It drives nicely for its age. I have recently installed a carburetor kit and points, condensor, and rotor. I have also installed new spark plugs and spark plug wires about two years ago. The oil pressure consisently shows over 40 PSI. Other instrument guages are erratic by working sometimes and not the other, even after I replaced the spider wire harness. Do not have the expert knowlrdge to troubleshoot this aspect.
The 24V generator works even though the guage does not show charge, and the water guage works that I had never had this Jeep over heat. The manual windshield wipers work, but again I could not troubleshoot the vacuum operation. I am explaining everything about this Jeep that cannot be seen in the accompanying pictures. The Jeep still has the 24V sealed system and all lights work properly icluding the instrument panel and blackout marker lights. Mechanically everything works properly and it starts right away even in cold weather.
I love to drive this Jeep whenever weather permits. It has always been garaged since I owned it. The body is very straight and solid and the person who restored it did so with the correct paint and markings. No visible rust seen anywhere except under the passenger seat whre some minor rust shows on a channel, but the rust contained and painted over. I cannot arrange for shipping since I live in a small community which is not exposed to adequate services. I am willing to deliver the Jeep on my trailer within 100 miles radius of Iola, Kansas.”
