Dave,
The Link to C/L for this one is for a different jeep not this M-38. Just a Heads up.
I searched through Tulsa OK listings (closest major city to Broken Arrow) on CraigsList and couldn’t find this. It sure is impressive; professionally done… Wow!
Very seldom, if ever, do I think one of these flatties priced over $20,000 is actually worth it – I’m going to have to make an exception for this one! “Willys” valve covers – nice touch.
Try completely Restoring a CJV35/U and get back to me about them not being worth 20K. Quadruple that for mine. But agreed this is a nicely done Jeep, although as a purist Military Guy i don’t like to see any Military Jeep Civilianized……
@Mike,
I hear you loud and clear. However very seldom does one recoupe their money from a labor of love. Most times they are paying for their restoration projects and receiving the majority of their dividends in the form of enjoyment.
Oops. I was pretty tired last night so I am not shocked I made an error. Will get that fixed shortly. Thanks!
It was on the Dallas, TX, Craigslist and may have sold. The ad has been deleted: https://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/cto/d/broken-arrow-1950-willys-m38-army-jeep/6929821085.html
Thanks Chad. It seems I managed not to fix the link despite Mike’s helpful note (aww, life on the road). I’ve marked it sold until I learn more.
