•Complete professional tune-up and inspection.
•Installed a custom-fabricated flange from the oil filter to the carburetor.
•Repaired emergency brake.
•Tires inspected for road readiness.

Specifications & Equipment:

Rust Free - 1951 Willys Pickup Restoration

Here is an excellent condition 1952 Willys M38 for sale.

Originally owned by the Air Force than acquired by the Forest Service and put it in a museum for a short period of time.  A gentleman in Franklin, North Carolina purchased it from the Forest Service museum and refurbished it.  The current owner's father purchased it in 2020 as recreational vehicle to cruise around his hunting property.  It was used lightly during this time period and has now been passed on to his son.

Sadly the seller's father has passed and now he is selling this restored classic.

Starts and runs (see attached video at the end of the gallery)

No rust and no leaks
