for sale

Description:

I have reluctantly decided to sell my toy to finance my hotrod build.
1951 Willys M38, This is a old Socal build. I bought this with the intentions of painting it and making it purty. However I fell in love with its 60's metallic gold color and imperfect nature. California assigned VIN, unknown mileage, with a early 80's 4 bolt main 350 chevy with late 60's camel hump heads. cast iron intake with a holley 4BBl. new HEI ignition, corvette radiator and corvette Harrison tank. rebuilt T-18 trans with Dana 18 Transfercase and Warn Overdrive. New clutch, flywheel, Ramshorn manifolds, with brand new Dual exhaust with Magnaflow mufflers. (SOUNDS GREAT). Stock axles with 5:38 gears. NOS warn locking hubs, new bearings, new tie rod ends. Very nice Power steering conversion. New Lecarra steering wheel on a old tilt column. Has oversized M38 gas tank, Stock seats (could use new covers). Hella H4 conversion head lights, LED tail lights, Mismatch VDO and SW gauges. Just installed a NEW Rancho 2.5 lift with 1/2 warrior shackles and New Rancho Shocks. Very nice wiring with sealed junction boxes and HD battery cables. Has 4 decent 33x12.50x15 Yokohama MT tires and a BFG spare. ALSO has 5 Eagle 589 wheels with Champion beadlocks (these are REAL beadlocks). Roll Cage with a Custom made bikini top. (no full top, but they are still avail via bestop)
This is one awesome Willys. Licensed and insured, I drive it very often. It has a trainload of power. Will EASILY smoke the 33 tires, Will definitely get your attention if you put your foot in it. Cruises very nice, NOT a highway vehicle, the 5:38s to much for highway speeds, but will cruise back road and run 55 fine. This is NOT a vehicle for a teenage driver. Hunt, Fish, cruise, do smokey burnouts. .. she has it all! The body is mostly rust free, I know there is a screed coat of filler over body. Albeit not rusty, just the way they did custom paint back in the day. There is a hole in the tool box (under pass seat), where the top hat is underneath. I am sure there is some more here and there under that gold paint, BUT that paint has been there for a while. It has a CJ2A hood, however I do have the M38 hood that was modified for a poke through air cleaner (its garbage basically) original tailgate and tub. VERY nice custom made rear bumper with swing out tire carrier, and a front tow bar. The firewall was modified to fit the GM distributor. Upper edge was pinch welded and done in the 60's.
I do restore Jeeps for a living and this one is one of my favorites. I REALLY wanted to keep it, but I need to finance my 48 Jeepster build. Ahh the reality that I can not keep them all. .. Shipping is up to the buyer, I will deliver the jeep to any car transport company in the Phoenix valley on my trailer at no charge to the buyer. There is NO WARRANTY, this is a 64 year old vehicle. I do require a 250.00 deposit within 24 hrs of auction close. Full payment is due within 72 hrs. I will ONLY accept Paypal for the deposit. The remainder of the money is due via Certified Bank Check, Money Order, or direct deposit into my Wells Fargo Account. This is a transfer Account open for this reason. I have had many customers do this, and its painless and quick and trackable, the money usually clears usually within 24 hrs. Once the money clears I will fed-ex a clear, clean and open Arizona title to you. The jeep does not leave my possession until the money clears. You are free to either pick-up or arrange shipping to pick up. If for any reason you want me to sit on the jeep for pickup, you need pre-approval before auction close. I have shipped many Jeeps and have a shipper I can refer to you that usually picks up within 3 days.
DISCLAIMER: I have one single bad feed back from a gentleman that had buyers remorse because he did not know what a old jeep is. Old jeep are like old dogs, Loyal, Fun, sometimes fussy, and always your best buddy. This Jeep does drip oil, could still use some tinkering (however I like it the way it is) drives like a cheetah on cocaine, Its loud, hot and sooooo AWESOME!!!! please look at my website to view my past projects.
