1953 Willys M38A1 Military Jeep 4x4

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!
