Kaiser/Willys Military M38A1 4x4 Light Utility Vehicle 1960 NEKAF Version.

Clear Pennsylvania title. Has been stored in a barn: perfect for restoration. Corrosion exists at the side panels, below the spare tire, some at rear floor behind the tank. An experienced restorer inspected the vehicle and stated the body is nice and solid and all existing corrosion is basic and easily reparable. Everywhere else: the hood, (an original shovel is mounted beneath), fenders, windshield, grill, interior front floor, rear deck, wheel wells and dash (some corrosion lower left) are in good condition. This is a Dutch Army NEKAF with that nation’s” Koninklijke Landmacht” modifications intact: Contracted with Kaiser Willys -The Dutch Army added a brass radiator (HOLLAND), auxiliary power outlets inside and out, ‘guarded’ side mounted marker lights, ETO blackout lights and speedometer indicated in Kilometers. Two flag mounts are on the front bumper.

Two 12 volt in-series batteries, the original cables, “T” ignition post, floor-push pedal ignition, voltage regulator, starter, generator, internally housed points, condensor, cap, wires and sealed plugs are all in working order: some new. The vehicle starts, runs and drives. The brakes, clutch, transfer case, HI/low trans, linkage cables, emergency brake, steering gear, suspensio, and low- mile military tires are all are in working order. Throttle, choke, and Crankcase breather handles knobs and cables operate as intended. An aftermarket fuel pump, fuel pump regulator and hoses were installed however the original fuel pump, hard lines, fittings, mounts and cables were kept intact and remain in their original positions: disarmed.
