1953 M-38A1 Lake, MI $4000

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

This needs another motor installed, but comes with a second.

“I’m selling my 1953 Willy’s jeep, body and drive train are on outstanding condition. The only problem with the Willy’s is that it needs a motor rebuild. Comes with two motors, two trans, two tranfercases. I payed 6,000 for the jeep, taking 2,000 off for the seized motor. Great deal! Please only respond if truly interested. I bought the xtra motor to fix this one. The trans and transfercase are exra. The reason for the engine problems was the oil pick up was clogged and I seized a rod to crank. I do not want to get rid of the beautiful pice of American history but my family come first. Please call me at 9896154327.”

1953 M-38A1 Stewart Warner Heater & Instructions

• CATEGORIES: Features, M-38A1 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

I spotted this ten page Stewart Warner 978 heater Instruction manual on eBay. Then I found what I believe is the actual heater itself. Seems like a neat combo.

Here’s the heater: It is a Southwind Stewart Warner 978 M heater. This looks to be for a 6V vehicle though.

My son Karson will be in Virginia another week before ending heading back to Sacramento where he completes his FEMA/Americorps experience. During his travels this past year he’s introduced a variety of people to eWillys (well done!). This weekend he was hiking with friends in the Blueridge Mountains where he spotted this M-38A1 on a trailer all by itself.

The winch alone might be worth the cost of the jeep.

“Recently got this to restore and found that I just don’t have the time and resources. I would rather it go to someone who knows what it is and can get it running again. It is a project and does NOT run. It is complete though. Can deliver for a fee.”

There can’t be too many Israeli jeeps in the US. I wonder if there’s paperwork as well?

1953 M-38A1 Mobile, AL **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.

(09/02/2013) This looks solid.

“I purchased this Jeep in late December of 2012 from a restorer and I immediately had new brakes, including emergency brake, and wheel cylinders, shocks, rebuilt steering box, steering dampener and tie rods installed to make it more road friendly. It had the “wobble of death” when I got it but travels very nicely now. I actually had it up to 45 mph and it did great. I paid $12,600 and put about $2,000 into it. I am selling it because I need the money for other investments and firm on the price. I am not a collector or a restorer so I may not be able to answer all of your question. I have kept it out of the weather and only put about 10 miles on it. The Jeep came painted and stenciled as is and I can’t really tell you much about the color or stencils. It is a 24 volt system and the rear turn signals, taillights, headlights and brake lights work. The windshield wipers do not work but I believe all of the components are there. Tires are about 80-90 % tread. The restorer ensured me that the engine was completely overhauled but needs to have the head re-torqued and the valves readjusted after break-in. Current odometer on restored engine is 182 miles. I also have the Title if needed. I am located in Mobile, Alabama and the best way to reach me is through my email”

1963 M-38A1 Florence, OR **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.

This looks like a great price for a solid, non stock M-38A1.

“One of the last batch of M381s made for the Marine Corps in the mid 60s (manufactured 10/63). Nice straight body with a few extra holes but otherwise pretty much original. There is some rust in the foot wells as usual but the rest is rust free and original. Runs and drives very well. Cute little Ford 2.8L V6 engine (few hundred miles on a new long block) nicely installed but the rest of the drive train is original. Original limited-slip rear end. Steering & seats are not original but all can be reasonably reversed if you are so inclined. In the meantime it runs great and looks good. A great parade vehicle or for having fun on trails, sand dunes, etc. More powerful and more comfortable than a totally original jeep is a plus.

Koenig winch, drive shaft, and PTO (tranny was rebuilt recently and PTO is not yet installed). Roll bar and new belts are included. Tow bar included (she tows like a dream).

Clean Oregon title, Special Interest plate.

Priced to reflect the non-original condition. Only $3200 for a nice looking and great running historical military Jeep.”

A running, driving 1952 M38A1 Jeep. It has been restored, but it is an older restoration. It has been a fun around town driver for me for the last year and a half.

“This rare seat came out of a 1952 M38A1 and it will also work in an M38 Military Jeep as well. It has the original canvas bottom seat but is missing the back cushion. The bottom seat canvas cushion is in good condition for being 61 years old and C Frame is in good condition as well. I am asking $350.00 …a fair price.”
