For your consideration a 1952 Willys M38a1 military jeep. Serial # 17543, dod. 9/52, making it an early example with the thumbscrew battery box lid, hinged front grill, rare original slanted seam front fenders, and the narrow early bumper undamaged. Runs great, with no smoke or knocks. The engine is totally original with the 24 volt system and all waterproof accessories (distributor, carb, generator, regulator). Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and quietly. Brakes are inoperative due to bad master cylinder. Was a municipal vehicle used for off road search and rescue (seldom) It was well maintained and not abused, spent most of its time in storage. Has the original seats, cushions, rear seat, and 50’s dated tires. (pass seat not shown but included) Body has very minimal rust, surface rust mostly in a few spots, and a couple small dings. Frame and springs are excellent. Has all original dashboard and data plates. Windshield frame is very good shape also. Would make an excellent easy restoration candidate, as it has not been modified in civilian hands. Never had a snowplow mounted. Never had locking hubs installed. Never been registered on the road. Has one of the best original condition body’s that I have seen. No title, just bill of sale. I can apply for NYS transferable registration if the winning bidder so desires. Sold as is, no warranty express or implied. Please email with questions, and good luck..I will add more pictures when I am able to do so (Friday).On Jan-20-11 at 04:38:43 PST, seller added the following information: I have found original rear blackout taillights, spare wheel, pintle hook, and the spare tire carrier..to be included with the jeep!On Jan-22-11 at 09:33:00 PST, seller added the following information: I was in the process of cleaning out the carburator bowl, thats why the screws are missing in the photo..
