An ex-Army M38A1 was listed several years ago on ebay near me but didn't sell at the time. The owners were asking about $6-7.000 at the time. It is now in the hands of a jeep enthuiast and still near me being restored.

Hi Ryan i have read the same list i think there is a copy on the CJ3B page and it was also in jeep action im not sure how acurate it is it was compiled by a worker at the willys assembly plant.I have seen photos of one other that was in australia but it now resides in NZ i think, but from the photos it looked to have a cj5 tub onit...Other than the air dropped jeep at Williamstown airbase and the other evaluation jeep the others could of been M606s the military version of a cj5 which is what the US sent out for export purposes an kept the A1 for them selves (Canadians,Nekaf) ..cheers Mick
