1951 M-38 Jackson, MS $2200

Mark listed this over at warjeeps.com.

“What you are looking at is an original 1951 M38 Jeep. The Jeep has the correct MC engine, but does have a repairable crack above the distributor. A correct RMC engine block will come with it. The body is pretty straight. It has the usual floor rust. Most of the rust through area is in the driver front floor, but just where the flat panels are meaning it would be an easier repair job if you know how. The engine is not locked and spins freely. The Jeep has most of its original paint from the Korean War era and also still has its hood numbers both are pretty unusual to see on a Jeep as old as this. I would prefer this old steel soldier to find a good home to bring it back to life!  I don’t usually sell my project Jeeps, but my dually needs 6 new tires.”

“This is a very early (599th one produced!) 1949 CJ-3A with an L-134 Go-Devil 4 cyl engine, T-90 Transmission and D18 Transfer case. This runs but will be a serious project.

Frame:
Overall excellent. Some rust in spots but no rot or evidence of repair.

Body:
Extremely rough but minimal patches and/or bondo so you can see what you are dealing with. Worse tubs have been brought back to life with the little dedication and a MIG welder.

1948 CJ-2A Helena, MT **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: CJ-2A This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.

Doesn’t run.

“Here is a cute little CJ2A I picked up a week ago that needs to find somebody with time to work on it. It looks like it is all complete, the engine turns over and some of the expensive things you never think about when figuring what a restoration will cost — like the seat springs are there. The gauges are all there, with a little tinkering it would probably fire up and run and go play. Or if you need parts — here they are. The little L head engines are getting hard to find, if I didn’t already have a good running one and a spare one for my 48 CJ I’d just keep this.

There are a lot of good parts here, these things have really gotten popular in recent years and the supply of some original parts is pretty slim. The gauges are worth money — the new Chinese ones are crap – the grill and starter and generator and wheels are all worth some bucks.

I just put 48 in the year, I don’t know exactly what year it is and the 113275 is actually the model number. I put parts only in for the title because I don’t have it in hand yet but they are supposed to be sending it to me. When I get the title it will have the year and all that on it — should be in the mail in a day or two.”

Just a Couple Updates Tonight

• CATEGORIES: Features This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I got back late from Seattle late last night, so just a couple updates. Several readers asked if I got anything done on Biscuit while there, but (as Mitch can attest, because he dropped by) I took an hour to stare at the jeep, but between minor book fixes, caring for dad, and sonny-do projects, I didn’t have  much extra time.

On my way home I stopped by to visit Roy Williams and his friend, Todd Francis. Todd is the 2nd or 3rd largest manufacturer of two-piece high performance VW blocks in the world. He ships them all around the planet. It was a real treat to watch the blocks being milled, drilled, and cleaned. His racing buggy was pretty cool, too. I didn’t have my camera with me, so no pics.

You can learn more about them on Facebook or at his website (which will be receiving a makeover sometime soon).

Hundreds of M-606s

Blaine spotted this great photo showing hundreds of what appear to be M-606s about ready to be shipped to Iran in 1962. It’s part of an article in the Toledo Blade about the 75th anniversary of the Willys-Overland-produced jeep.
