Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep.

This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in North Jersey in 2013.   He had begun to restore the jeep but got in over his head.   I purchased it and it underwent a frame off rebuild.

I've owned over thirty flat fender jeeps and have restored approx. 25 of them and have sold them successfuly on e-Bay.   This Jeep had an excellent 1951 M38 frame and drive train including a correct MC marked engine.   The engine was professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Rebuilders in Easton. PA. The tranny was rebuilt by me and the transfer case and axles have had new seals. bearings. and fluids as needed.  

Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everthing has been sand blasted. cleaned. repainted. or replaced with new. NOS. or repro parts.  

Chassis and Drive Train: new leaf springs front and rear. new shackles. new shocks. new axle bumpers. frame stripped/blasted and painted. new front bumper. new rear crossmember. new clutch and bearing. new seals and bearings on tranny(rebuilt) and transfer case which were drained and cleaned repainted. and all fluids and gaskets replaced. new e-brake pads. hardware. and cable. new engine/tranny mounts. new brakes including all shoes. lines and hoses. new master cylinder. four new wheel cylinders.   Rebuilt steering box and drag link and original steering wheel. original rear bumperettes. original pintle hook. 4 new STA 7. 00x16 NDCC tires and an authentic original Goodyear spare tire - all on 16" original rims.

Engine: Completely professionally rebuilt. professionally rebuilt civilian WO Carter Carb. new civilian fuel pump. rebuilt manifolds and new gaskets. new 12 volt alternator. new period correct wiring(not military). new battery. new hoses. new fan belt. new 180 degree t-stat. new temp. gauge. new ammeter. new fuel gauge and sender. new fuel lines. new plugs and wires. Radiator professionally tanked/cleaned repaired and painted.

Misc: Vehicle is wired for 12V civilian use. all new gauges. including speedometer. all lights. all new switches work properly (except brand new military style light switch is not connected to the new wiring- a new modern fused two pull switch is connected to new wiring. ) . Original water fording system was not installed. Jeep has proper vacuum windshield wipers installled and working.

Vehicle includes the pioneer tools(shovel and axe). Vehicle does not have a title. Mileage is unknown. but regardless of odometer reading (approx. 0 miles) this Jeep is better than motor pool. almost like it just came off the assembly line.

The only thing left to do with this vehicle is have fun driving it and possibly outfit it with some Korean War Era paraphernalia.

Vehicle is sold as is where is. No sales outside of USA.   Shipping costs are responsibility of buyer. Will work with buyer to arrange shipping (i. e drive it to local shipper or Port Newark. )

Deposit via Paypal. balance in cash or Paypal upon pick up or prior to shipping. No checks. no trades. no scams.

The "Buy It Now" price is realistic price. the reserve price is very close to that. This Jeep will sell as have all my previous restorations. don't let it slip away. A true M38 - a very rare jeep.
