You got a great deal! Hope you get it running so you can cruise around this summer!

They are a lot of fun for a young feller just be careful not to get in trouble with it. It will take you places you really don’t need to be go. I got mine from my grandparents in high school and they finally turned the title over to me when I was in college and I’ve had it ever since and I’m 70 and mines a 42.

That Jeep is awesome

my 47 was navy blue had bullett markers and a lot more rust . the bed in yours is remarkably straight for a farm jeep. old Willys came in great colors. I like the term arrested decay, make it safe, don't fix it up , don't let it get worse. enjoy the scent of burning oil, rotted gas and old gear oil!

like it, fix it up. I just bought a 1954 m38a1 with all the 24 volt stuff still intact. I have ordered some stuff to get it going, it sat for a couple years, but was never road titled. A guy bought it from a government auction in the 80's, and just drove it in the summer on his property in Northern Michigan, so it escaped the rust belt death. I've wanted one of these for year's, and i just turned 53, and finally found one good enough to restore. G-d bless.

There is definitely a crowd for Jeeps exactly like that one. Nice find. Simple and durable.

What a great find.Must be that dry weather and under roof.Unmolested and ready to be restored.As far as the overdrive it ups the ratio by 25% but also decreases the power by 25%.My 54 cj3b has an overdrive and looks like a brand new penny but it was not as nice as what you have to start with.As a young man you should keep this jeep and not let it go along the way.I am happy for you!This old man says keep up the strong work.

Good deal. I picked one up 42 Ford Jeep. Not in such good condition as yours but will be fun once it's going. Once you have it going take it to the flat fender trail climb I think in Arizona.

Hi, I'm in the UK and I've wanted a Willys MB38 since I was a very young kid and just old enough to be able to distinguish one type of vehicle from another. Even now, if I were offered a mint Ferrari or Jeep like that one you have - I'd take the Jeep any day and get to work on it right away.

Dude I remember seeing that on marketplace and it went very fast and a really low asking price! You should leave the mesh guard it could save your radiator
