Scott has reduced the price of his M-38A1 to $6000.

“This vintage 1954 Willys m38a1 U.S. army vehicle is original 24 volt, runs perfectly, shifts perfectly including 4 wheel drive. as far as I can tell the vehicle is not cut, welded on, or in any other way been severely damaged or altered. The jeep is certainly not perfect or show quality / it shows dents and dings / layers of green farm paint. The floor boards in the front are solid but look as though they have seen minor repairs in the past / the jeep shows little to no rust. The wheels and tires are civilian while the spare is a military ndt with original wheel. The dash data plate shows a 1954 date / the data plate behind the passenger seat is missing / the engine that I replaced did not have a number stamped into it. As it stands this is a solid driver vehicle in great condition that is reliable and mechanically totally sound. I have always kept the vehicle garaged and have used it primarily for Sunday driving or riding around the neighborhood / vehicle has not been abused as an off-roading unit.

Mechanically the jeep was in good shape when I purchased it and over the past few years I have made some improvements and completed routine maintenance.

improvements:
– Summer 2016 – full engine rebuild and installation with correct “MD” stamped military f-134 “hurricane” engine ( done by 1/4 ton military in chickamauga, ga)
– Summer 2016 – new brakes, brake lines, all fluids changed including mechanical housings (done by 1/4 ton military )
– Fuel pump rebuild by kaiser-willys
– Original Carter carb rebuild by kaiser-willys
– Air intake cross-over tube replaced with correct unit
– Instrument cluster removed and replaced non-working gauges
– Damaged seat covers replaced
– Windshield and rubber replaced
– 24 volt waterproof spark plug wires / and new plugs
– A variety of other tasks to numerous to count

“For sale I have a Willys M38A1 Jeep project I started last year. I have too many other projects and really need to move this one along. It was an early USMC jeep. The frame and running gear have all been cleaned, blasted, primed and repainted. The engine, tranny, and transfer case have all been rebuilt. Entire brake system is new including master cylinder, brake lines, wheel cylinders, and brake shoes. new wheel bearings and all seals replaced. steering has been rebuilt. I have the body tub, hood, grill, and fenders. Included is an original windshield that has already been sandblasted, primed, painted, and new seal and glass installed. I have over $4000 invested. Asking $2500. No title, but will provide a bill of sale. Please see pictures and ask any questions. Thanks!”
