Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1953 Willys M38A1 features a body-off refurbishment from 2021, including a rebuilt 134ci inline-four engine and a three-speed manual transmission. It presents in green with olive-drab cloth upholstery and is equipped with a dual-range transfer case, folding canopy, and folding windshield.
While the refurbishment enhances its condition, the odometer reading being 'Exempt' on the title and the mention of a 'replacement' canopy top suggest it's not pristine, but rather a well-maintained classic with some signs of its age and prior use.
Condition
7
The vehicle underwent a body-off refurbishment around 2021, including a rebuilt engine and transmission, and a repaint. The odometer shows 31k miles, with ~250 added by the current owner since 2022. The description mentions a 'replacement' canopy top, and the Colorado title notes the odometer as 'Exempt', suggesting some age-related considerations. However, the refurbishment addresses many potential issues, placing it in the 'Very Good' category.
