Appears to have potential.

“Jeep Willy’s project. 327 Chevy, 350 auto transmission, Warn locking hubs on all 4 wheels, winch. Needs tires. Must be trailered, not drivable.”

The body has had some work.

“1951 Willys M38 military Jeep. Runs great. Good frame and drive line. Body is a little rough. 4×4 converted from 24 volts to 12.”

Bill shared this one. It has an OD, a front PTO with a winch, and maybe the Hudson steering upgrade (can’t tell for sure).

“This Jeep is pretty cool
It’s a rebuilt Buick V6
And new brakes, new wheel cylinders, a new master cylinder, a new clutch and pressure plate…a new starter, locking rear hubs, O/D.. A power take-off wench, back bench seat, 2 front seats, and a tow bar..
It runs great, looks good.. Just needs the lights rewired.
Give me a call at a decent time in the day and I’ll let you check it out.”

No obvious rust.

“Nice running Jeep. Good for running around at the ranch or hunting lease.’

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.

Has some updates.

“Very nice Willys in good shape. Runs and drives well. Includes extras. $5,500 OBO”

Might be some value here.

“I purchased this Willy’s several months ago as a long term project for a relative. They’ve chosen not to take it on and now it could be your project.

The pictures speak for themselves, no engine or transmission. The frame is straight and solid, while the body is in decent condition for an almost 70 y/o vehicle. Some small rust areas, but shouldn’t be a big issue for the right person with fabricating skills. There’s no title.

Feel free to check it out, but I’m absolutely firm on the price.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.

(02/02/2019) This has some PA Air guard history.

“1950 Willys M38 Military Jeep

This Jeep served in the Army and PA Air Guard. Had awesome patina! The m38 is the most sough after flat fender Jeeps.

Before we start… THIS IS A PROJECT that has had a good start.
A lot of the hard work has been done. I repeat, THIS IS A PROJECT.

-Inline 4 Cyl Go Devil Engine (non original)
-T90 Manual Tran (original to Jeep)
-Body is fairly solid. Frame is 100 percent solid. Front floor pan has been replaced and needs to be welded into place
– Have the original military wheels (two tires date back to 1952)
-Front and Rear drive shafts have been rebuilt
-New Clutch Cable
-Trans and Transfer Case Fluid Changed

The Jeep runs, and moves on its own. The cooling system needs to be finished (Have radiator and new hoses), brakes need to be totally gone over (Have new master cylinder), gas pedal not hooked up at moment. A piece of wire operates the carb to lot drive. Gauges are missing. Jeep is Wired to start, but whole Jeep needs to be rewired..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.

(02/04/2019) This is listed as a CJ-3a, but may well be an M-38. I can’t quite tell if this has a battery cowl hole or not.

“1951 willy CJ3A
