UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!
The 1954 M38A1 Willy’s Overland Jeep is the first Military Jeep to have the rounded front fenders so commonly associated with Jeeps. The M38A1 was produced between 1952 and 1957, and only 80,290 were produced for military use. Most of these Jeeps have been lost forever, however some still exist. Most of these Jeeps are in poor condition, and require a great deal of money to restore.
My Jeep was reportedly owned by a military man who planned to restore it in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. In 1994, I found this Jeep in an old junkyard in Chattanooga, TN under an old tarp (it did not run, but it had virtually no rust). Over the years I brought the Jeep to life.
