M-38A1 Research Archives
1956 M-38A1 Fife, Wa $900 (includes OD)
Here’s a great price on a M-38A1 that includes an Overdrive. It is a project, but it has a variety of interesting parts, including some nice diamond plating, good roll cage and more.

1953 CJ-5 Spokane, Wa $1200 or trade
If this truly is a 1953, then I suspect this is a M-38a1, as I don’t *think* CJ-5s were manufactured prior to 1955. I like it because it sports what look like nice, old school slot aluminum rims which are hard to find. The body parts appear in good condition too. There might be some other good points also.
“I have a 1953 cj 5 project and need to make more room for race car stuff…lol….. I want 1200 cash or trade for the following (see craigslist ad) …. Arin. 509 863 8953… Best offer by sunday and it goes!!!!”
1952 M-38a1 Toledo, Wa No Price
1952 was the first year for the M-38a1. I can’t remember seeing a top quite like this on an M-38a1. If you can scrape all the paint off, this may be very restorable.

1955 M-38a1 Bonney Lake, WA **SOLD**
Not a bad price for a non-rusty, full cage, buick v6, running jeep. Might even get it for less. Given the rope that ties the gear shift to the dashboard, I’d say project number one would be fixing the tranny from popping out of gear getting a nicer piece of rope to hold the 2wd in place 🙂

1954 CJ-3B Westfall, Or eBay
UPDATE: This CJ-3B is back on ebay (last time was mid may). Starting bid is now $2200.
The beginning bid price is $2500, which is a bit high for a non running jeep. The rims and tires look new and in good shape. Westfall Oregon is in the middle of eastern Oregon, a ways off either highway 20 or 26.
"For sale is a 1954 Willys CJ-3B, "High Hood". This is the jeep Willys replaced the CJ-3A with, by adding the new overhead engine. Being a taller engine, it needed more room, so, Willys raised the hood. I bought this Willys from a man who was driving it back and forth to work. He had started to restore the jeep, (pulled the radiator, front clip, started some body work…) then he ran out of time, and sold it to me. It is not running at this time….."
