    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    Hopefully I will have one up and running for the rally too. That is a heck of a drive though

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    You need to get that a1 out in the woods where it belongs. When I finally get mine, I want to get it back into motor pool condition but not so nice that I wouldn't take it on the trails.

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    We had a CJ that sat in the garage for 7 years and I can testify that Jeeps are much more fun in the woods than in the garage.

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    When I do finally find one I plan on doing a driving resto and do anything extensive during the winter when it would not be driving regardless.

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    I found another one that I am going to go look at. Hopefully it won't take me 14 years to get it restored though.

    That looks like a pretty good deal for the money, it also looks like a big project

    Well I am going to hang tight and wait for something a little more complete. If any of you guys are interested in it here is the link to the ad: WILLYS JEEP

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    Before I got the pictures I thought the gas tank and wiring harness were original so now I am not sure if I should pull the trigger on this one or not.

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    I am thinking that at one point someone cut in a tailgate and then someone else reversed it. I am trying to tabulate the cost of getting this back to original and the number is getting quite large.

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    Ok the pictures are finally in. I am on the fence here. I can see that the blackouts are gone, the fuel cap is wrong, roll bar and top should not be there, and it looks like something very strange is going on with the back. My question is whether or not this looks like a good start for a...

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    Well the good news is that it is still the 24v system(the seller said something about the headlights being 12v but i think that is how it is supposed to be). Also the fuel tank is in good shape and the seller says that it only has the small bit of rust in the tool box. I am still waiting on...

    Thanks for the input. He said the only rust are the pinholes in the floor by the tool box. How much does the fact that it is a "civilianized" A1 affect the value? I know my CJ prices pretty well so I think I will get it if I think that it is a fair price for a CJ5 in similar condition and...

    May be looking at another M38a1 - need assistance

    Well it appears that my patience may finally have paid off. Based on the advise I got here I avoided the cheaper M38a1 with lots of rust and missing parts and may have found a good one. Here are the details: It reads 54,000 miles, has a new civilian soft top and decent tires. The body looks...
