The original Jeep CJ series is what became the civilian variant of the tough and rugged Willys Jeep that saw time in the battlefield. In fact, the story is quite similar to the Hummer; a military vehicle adapted into civilian use. But what if you want the military variant instead of the civilian one? Well, unlike Humvees, that’s a bit harder to come by when we talk about Willys Jeeps. You see, these vehicles were considered to be pretty much disposable, leading a few years of hard life before being put to pasture. Some examples lasted mere weeks in battlefields, such as vehicles involved in World War II and the Korean War. However, sometimes you do get lucky and find a classic survivor. This 1952 Willys M38 from Flower Mound, Texas, is one such lucky find. It’s reportedly got just 1,789 miles on it, too. So if you’re a fan of wartime vehicles and want something that’s truly special, call or DM us right now.
Dressed in Army Green, this 1952 Willys M38 is definitely built for the battlefield as you can see from our photos. Its no-nonsense outlook, military numbers in white, and canvas roof are all battlefield hallmarks. Moreover, the headlamps have some protective bars over them, and there’s a rope wrapped around the front bumper for recovery if needed. Yes, this isn’t a plush, luxury SUV at all. The spartan and rugged outlook continues into the passenger area of this 1952 Willys M38. You’ve got two front seats and two facing benches directly behind. There’s a no-nonsense dashboard with only the bare necessities needed to operate the vehicle. You won’t find a single creature comfort here, not even an AM radio! Yes, that’s how military vehicles are. After all, when you’re prowling around the unknown, you’ve got to have your wits about you.
A 2.2-liter 4-cylinder engine powers this 1952 Willys M38. Known as the Go-Devil engine, it’s fearsomely well known not for being ferocious or powerful, but for its sturdiness and reliability. This is an engine that takes a lot of abuse before keeling over. It’s paired with an equally sturdy and simple 4-speed manual gearbox and, of course, four-wheel drive.

We all know the story of the Willys Jeep, conceived by Willys-Overland for civilian use when World War II was ending. The company knew that they needed a product that would replace the soon drying up military order book, and they developed the CJ or Civilian Jeep. The CJ ran until 1986, when it became…surprise, surprise, the Wrangler. There have been many variants made during that time, and some have been turned into restomods. Case in point, this 1958 Willys Jeep Station Sedan from Ormond Beach, Florida. With its 350ci V8, Blue Patina exterior with surface rust accents and hardwood cargo floor, this is one heck of a machine, let us tell you. It’s rear-wheel drive and has got just over 31,000 miles to its name.
The Willys Jeepster was originally designed to bridge the gap between utilitarian Jeeps and comfortable passenger cars, offering open-air driving with rugged charm. This 1949 example, offered from Nevada, Missouri, has been transformed into a restomod that blends vintage Jeepster character with modern muscle. With a 6.2L LS3 V8 under the hood, automatic transmission, and just 265 miles since completion, it delivers classic looks with contemporary power and usability
Introduced in 1944, the Jeep CJ ran through several iterations until 1986, when it became the popular Jeep Wrangler. Now that’s why this vehicle bears several familiar cues, not just to the Wrangler but the Jeep family as a whole. After all, it’s the first of a legacy, the first civilian Jeep, which is why its called a CJ. Born out of Willys-Overland’s need to create something for the civilian market after World War 2 ended, the Jeep CJ would see well in excess of 1.5 million examples produced. The brief for the CJ was, surprisingly, tougher than that of the military Jeep it was based on. After all, military Jeeps tend to have lifespans of months or in tough areas, weeks. Meanwhile, the Jeep CJ would be put to the test by hard-working American farmers, blue-collar workers and small business owners, and expected to last for years with minimal maintenance. That’s why you’ll find many Jeep CJ examples existing to this day, as a testament to how well Willys built them. This 1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B from from Naches is one such machine, and it’s received a fine restoration to bring it up to the condition we see today. This machine could be yours if you wish.
This Powder Blue 1975 Ford Bronco is just the vehicle to buy if you’re looking for a classic off-roader that can show you a good time. With its open-air demeanor, cream-colored interior and punchy 351ci V8, it’s a symbol of the Sixties when fun and frolic ruled the country. This first-generation Bronco has received a comprehensive makeover and features several upgrades, including a James Duff 6-inch Crawler suspension system, reupholstered premium diamond stitched upholstery and a matching cream-colored soft top for when you need some weather protection and security. An air conditioning system is also included with the sale, albeit not yet installed.
The word practical is not often heard in the classic car world. A classic piece of machinery is far from being a machine you can use to get things done. There is a machine, however, that defies this logic, and it takes shape in this 1971 Chevrolet K10 Pickup we have today.
The 60s take up a lot of pages in the book of cars that have made their mark in history, and present today is one of its entrants. Take a look at this lovely 1965 Chevrolet ElCamino. This practical classic has reportedly clocked 97,000 miles and hails from Laingsburg, Michigan.
