Hey everyone, thank you all for the quick responses. I'm attaching the photos from the ad to this reply to help with the ID. I've asked the seller for more pictures but he resent the same ones. I'm trying to go physically look at it tomorrow sometime if he's available so that I can get a better look as well. He is asking 10k

The ad is listed as a 1953 Willy's - he never mentions M38a1 in the ad, but when i asked him if it was one or a CJ he said yes it's an M38a1.

Text from the ad is as follows:
"Awesome Willys! 3 speed, Clean title, Antique tags, No smoke, engine sounds great! New shocks, springs, breaks, master cylinder and fuel tank. A few seals could be changed (transmission seals). Motor is dry and strong. Only 8,247 miles. Runs great. Does come with the canvas top and rear side windows. Clips needed above windshield for the front of the canvas. Also includes spare tire and mounting bracket. I have more into this so I’d have to be firm on price."
