“This is an Exclnt condtn Korean Era Army Jeep Fully restored. I have had it insured since day one. Ive owned this jeep for about 3 years, and I have lots of paper work on it. In have a Tag on it, a License Plate, its a Antique tag, very low cost. It been restored from the ground up, has military tires, in like new condtn. Mostly original Parts, original windshield , I took it out for a spin a few days ago, put air in the tires, first time in over a year. I have and continue to start this jeep every 6 day. A month ago I took it out for a 40 miles country drive, such fun, lots of honks, heads turning.
These jeeps weren’t designed to go 60 MPH, 30 was more like it, I usually cruise at 40 MPH, I have gone 50. You could drive this every day if you chose to. I generally only take it out for parades, Like Veterans day, 4th of July etc. Both the headlights work, I replaced one, it cost me about 115.00 $. There is a tail lite out. It has no turn signals, never did, you use your arms to signal. It has no seat Belts, wasn’t required. I do have a brand new canvas top for it, Ive never used it. I also have the fellas address and phone number of the guy who rebuilt it.. Hes lives in Crown Point Indiana. I have a owners Manual. I have a unused Brand New canvas top.
I have the clear title. There is a gauge not working, might be the volts ? I have shipping instructions, and lots and lots of paperwork on it. I put on the rearview mirror. I paid 15,200.00 for this Jeep. This is the best restored Jeep Ive ever seen. I have a bunch of accessories, if you’d like to buy them total additional cost would be 350$. I have a cameo Steel pot Helmet with the liner, Fatigue jacket, wooden ammo box with rope handles, Web Belt, with a first aid pouch, Ammo Bandollers, a round mag SubMachine Gun, replica, that gun alone cost me almost 300, you would think its real, The headlines work as well as the odometer,

The hand break works. 3 speed gearbox, All gears work as normal, It has a starter button, no key. Its 2 or 4 wheel drive. 24 Volt, has 2 Exclnt condtn Battries. Please just don’t call, If I don’t know the # I won’t answer, too many Robo Calls,
Does the top include doors and the side curtains?
Did the M-38 come with the Solez from the factory in stead of the Carter W/O?
IRQVET: As far as I know only the Carter YS 637S was original to the M-38 (https://oldjeepcarbs.com/thread/1015/ys-series-military?page=1). But, I have not researched this issue much.
Doug: To learn more contact the seller via Craigslist: https://fortmyers.craigslist.org/col/ctd/d/palm-coast-1952-us-army-jeep-m38/7217207277.html
Is this M38 still for sale ad says expired.
Very interested and will be in Florida soon
Hi Doug, it looks like the Craigslist ad expired and I have no other contact info for the seller. I’ve updated the post. I expect this will be relisted on Craigslist, so I’ll send you an email if that happens.
Thanks,
