Vehicle Description
This 1953 Willys M38A1 military jeep has less than 150 miles on it
since its full restoration. It was meticulous work with a modern
touch, right down to the details like the metallic paint. So if you
want a military 4x4 icon that's got added style to go with its
robust substance, you have found the one.
The M38A1 is one of the coolest Jeeps around. It has the face and
rounded fender look that reminds us of the CJ5, except we also all
know this one was built to be a tougher and more robust machine
made for service. So while there is no need to improve on an icon,
it does take a careful eye and professional hand to get the look
correct. That's why this example had a full restoration done, and
all the zeros on the odometer tell the story of how fresh this one
is. The Gunmetal Gray announces its military days are over with a
large metallic element embedded that loves to radiate in the
sunshine. It's a smooth finish that shows off the rugged lines of
this Willys, and while that may sound like an opposing idea, you
can see it really is awesome. Plus, the 16-inch polished alloys add
to the shine while giving you a terrific stance.
The attractive metallic paint continues inside, and it's not hard
to spot the gas tank glowing in red. A true military Jeep is all
about a sturdy no-frills attitude where even the General didn't get
a coddled seat. And so this one makes sure it keeps the bare-bone
style that stays faithful to the original. But there's also no
denying that there has been a solid investment here. Bright bolts,
crisp gauges, fresh seat covers, and an overall spotless
presentation lets you know this one has yet to spend a full day
living outside. Everything here is correct and accurate - from the
grip of the thin steering wheel to the three-lever 4x4 system.
You'll love lifting the hood wherever you park this Jeep. After
all, black has the same bold red as the fuel tank. Plus, the M38A1
is a better driver than its predecessors. It starts with the 134
cubic-inch inline-four. This is the Hurricane motor, which means
it's related to the Go-Devil engines that helped win the war, but
with a revised head and setup that made a hardy leap in power and
torque. And the big restoration investment means you have a
powerhouse that runs quite nicely. The M38A1 struck the right
balance where it had a longer wheelbase and better ride than its
predecessors, but the frame was more robust than the CJs that were
in production at the time. You take firm control on or off-road
with the three-speed manual transmission. And those upgraded wheels
mean you also get to fit better modern tires.
This is an awesome icon done to show-quality standards. So if you
want a unique way to represent a true American hero, don't miss
this deal. Call now!
