Welcome to eWillys.com, a website for vintage jeep enthusiasts. I update this website nearly every day with jeep deals, jeep history, interesting reader projects, jeep related info, and more.
These quick searches can help you find things on eBay. People list in the wrong categories all the time, so don't be surprised to see brochures in the parts area for example.
The links to posts below show jeeps grouped by models, condition, and other ways. Some of these jeeps are for sale and others have been sold. If you are unsure whether a vehicle is still for sale or not, email me at d [at] ewillys.com for more info.
There are plenty of interesting, unusual, historic and surprising stories related to Jeeps and their owners. In addition, some of these features have nothing to do with jeeps. This link will display all featured stories starting from the latest.
Looking for parts and not sure where to go? There are a variety of large and small new and used parts sellers both online and offline.
Importantly, the allure of buying a project jeep can be romantic. The reality of restoring a jeep can be quite different, expensive and overwhelming without the right tools and resources. So, tread carefully when purchasing a "project". If you have any concerns about buying a vintage jeep, or run across a scam, feel free to contact me for help, comments or concerns .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
There can’t be too many Israeli jeeps in the US. I wonder if there’s paperwork as well?
“We have just acquired a very unique jeep for sale it’s a 1955 Willys M38A1 once owned by the Israeli army. This is an extremely rare vehicle to be imported back from Israel all the markings are correct to the time. It is my pleasure to offer it for sale for $9500 delivered anywhere in the US.”
Back in the mid to late 1980’s Southeastern Equipment Co in Augusta, Ga, bought a bunch of these Jeeps and had them stored at their location, there were at least 50 of them, all ex-Israeli army CJ-5 units with really thick paint. I know they reconditioned many of them and sold them to some place in South America, so they continued to serve on.
To me it looks earlier then a 55. More like a 52 through late 53 because of the hinged grill, 45 degree seam in the fender, and the thumb screw battery box cover.
Good points TJ. I think you are right. I missed those details.
