UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500 for the holidays.
Autoquest Jeep is selling this vehicle. It’s got a replacement body, but the frame looks to be an M-38 based on the boxed front frame rails. For a good comparison of an M-38 frame vs. a CJ-3A frame check out this image from Was at the Willys M Jeeps site:

“** 1949-1952 M38 Willys Project Army Jeep, green/tan, 4 cyl flathead L motor, 3spd
Info we have is this M38 Army Jeep was restored about 30 yrs ago & was last registered for street use in 1992. Previous owner bought in 1993 to use as a hunting Jeep & was not registered for legal use on the road since that date. Was reported to be running when parked. We would recommend a full servicing @ least or a rebuild to get it back on the road.
Our 70 year old M38 is in amazingly good shape for its age w a very solid body & frame. Tires hold air but need replacement. It seems to be mostly all here with the original keys still in the ignition & shows 950 miles on odometer. It has dent on the passenger side rear corner. Original title has been lost & will soon be filing for TX bonded title.
1st retired from its military duties & now retired from the hunting lease. It has been sitting in a local warehouse for last 12 years. We rescued it, gave it a fresh cleaned up & selling as a non running project.
Restore back to original or custom build it like you want, our M38 Army Jeep is project priced as-is @…$5995 stock # 00000.
Our goal is to sell all of our vehicle inventory by end of this year. If you can be a serious buyer, make us an offer. The worst we can say is no & you might just buy yourself a cool vehicle.”
