1953 Stretched Wagon Belton, Mo **Not for Sale**

• CATEGORIES: Unusual, Willys Wagons • TAGS: , , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  This wagon was listed for auction on ebay in 2011, but didn’t sell.  The other day Buz spotted the forum where the builder documented how he constructed it.  It’s worth a look.   The wagon isn’t currently for sale.  The forum starts at page 7 of 7 then goes to page 1 and then forward (some system glitch at car domain).

1952 M-38 Knoxville, TN **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38, Unusual • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.

(10/02/2009) “Just so you know, I only accept cash payments. In this particular case, the money transaction and transfer of vehicle title will take place at your bank or ours, (your choice) plus proof of insurance required before you drive it off our property. THERE WILL BE NO EXCEPTIONS MADE!

We have over TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS in this vehicle, and thereby truly understand that JEEP stands for Just Empty Every Pocket!

Due to inheriting another vehicle, plus a lack of enough storage space to keep everything garaged, as well as not wanting to see this vehicle sit unused, we are looking for a new home for this Beauty. We are NOT selling because we need the money, so don’t waste your time or ours if you are not willing to pay the asking price! It is a STEAL at TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS and no less will be considered.

Now is your chance to get a fantastic custom made item worth much, much more for only TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS, less than half of what we have in it. (Have a folder full of receipts to prove it) It took 10 long years to put this baby together from parts. The paint job was chosen 2 months before 9-11-2001. (How ironic!) The whole thing was finished and driven the first time right before the first anniversary of 9-11. A newspaper photographer came out and took some pictures and it made the special section the Knoxville News Sentinel did for the 9-11 Anniversary featuring what people were doing to commemorate and remember the tragedy. We have a copy of that paper in our files.

Features include:
Extra Electric Radiator Fan
Chromoly roll cage frame mounted
CV Rear Drive Shaft (custom made)
(? 1983 ?) 4.3 Buick V6 Semi Race Cam Heavy Fly Wheel
Painless Wire Harness
LED Turn Signals
SM 420 Trans + Advance Adapter

Dana 44 Rear open ‘75
‘70’s Chevy Van Mag Wheels
36 X 1250 TSL Super Swampers
Warn 9500 I Winch
Custom Made Bumpers Front & Rear
Paint & Custom Fab by All American 4 Wheel Drive
Grant Steering Wheel
Metro Geo Seats
Spray Rubber Lining in Interior
Interior Heater Core from Caterpillar Bulldozer
Rear Traction Bars
4 Wheel Disc Brakes
Spring over Conversion
1.5 inch body lift (It had to still fit in garage)
Axel Knuckles cut loose and rotated to 4.5 degrees to allow good front drive shaft angle and proper steering
Custom made rear 6 gallon aluminum gas tank with cushion crash bars to protect it, in addition to under seat plastic 10 gallon gas tank
Hand throttle

Serious inquiries only… PLEASE!

Interested? Rest assured, I delete PROMPTLY when an item is sold. Sorry, I’ve received too much spam to reply to emails. Just call 525-2616 between 8 am and 6 pm to ask about this Jeep.”
