This 1952 Willys M38 underwent a refurbishment that was completed in 2015, and soon after it participated in the Guinness World Records–certified “largest parade of Jeeps” in Butler, Pennsylvania, in June of that year. The seller purchased the Willys in 2019, and work conducted under current ownership has involved rebuilding the Dana 44 rear end, installing a siren and Wagner headlights, and replacing the timing-gear seal, timing-cover gasket, fan belts, oil lines, fuel lines, thermostat, brake master cylinder, wheel cylinders, pinion bearings, and pinion yoke. The green-over-tan truck is powered by a 134.2ci inline-four linked with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes a folding canopy top, 16″ steel wheels, a fording kit, and a pintle hitch. This M38 is now offered with service records from current ownership, a technical manual, a reference guide, replica weapons, and transferable New York registration in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in green with U.S. Army–style graphics and has a replacement tan folding canopy top. Other features include a slotted grille, front D-rings, flat fenders, a folding windshield, windshield wipers, a diamond-plate side step, a driver-side mirror, and a pintle hitch.

Wagner headlights and a 24-volt Mars Signal Light siren were installed under current ownership. A shovel and an ax are attached to the passenger side of the truck, and a jerrycan is stored at the rear near a communications antenna. An intake snorkel is attached to the passenger-side A-pillar, and a corresponding vertical tailpipe extension is secured above the primary tailpipe.

Body-color 16″ steel wheels are mounted with 7.00–16 Cooper Cross-Country nylon tires, and a Firestone spare is affixed to the rear of the body. Braking is handled by drums at each corner; the brake master cylinder and wheel cylinders were replaced in 2022.

The individual front bucket seats and rear bench have been retrimmed in tan cloth. The metal dashboard and floors are painted body color. A Raytheon PRC-6 receiver/transmitter is positioned between the seats. A replica rifle and grenades rest on a cover on the dashboard.

The three-spoke steering wheel fronts a centrally mounted 60-mph speedometer flanked by gauges for fuel level, oil pressure, coolant temperature, and battery status. The five-digit odometer shows 6k miles, and approximately 1k miles have been added under current ownership. The odometer does not work; true mileage is unknown. The fuel gauge is inaccurate.

The 134.2ci inline-four was factory rated at 60 horsepower and 97 lb-ft of torque. Two rubber oil lines and a line to the fuel pump were replaced in 2022. In 2023, the timing-gear pulley, seal, gasket, and sleeve were replaced along with the oil-pan gasket, thermostat, radiator cap, and fan belts.

Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a T-90 three-speed manual transmission and a Dana 18 dual-range transfer case. The Dana 44 rear end was rebuilt in 2023, and the pinion bearings and pinion yoke were replaced.

Replicas of a .30-caliber machine gun and an M1 Garand rifle will accompany the vehicle.

Replacement information plaques affixed to the dashboard are shown above, including the tag at the lower right of the image that shows the serial number 68190.
The vehicle is being sold on its New York registration, which serves as the ownership document in New York.
