Lot #44 - This documented M38A1 Jeep has been stored in a private collection since 1990. An iconic American machine, it has been meticulously maintained and recently restored. Serial number 70386 served honorably in the military from 1954 until being released into a rural sheriff's department in 1984. The Jeep spent the next six years serving as a search and rescue vehicle before being purchased by the current owner in 1990. Recently restored, it features all-new 24-volt military spec wiring with waterproof connectors and new old-stock electrical components, a new radiator, new water pump, new gas tank, new tires, new glass and re-covered seats. The rebuilt 4-cylinder engine is mated to a 3-speed manual transmission. It is dressed in USMC 3rd Recon markings as a tribute to the owner and those that served both in the past and today. This vehicle truly exhibits the meaning of Semper Fi.
