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 .
Looks solid.

“1952, M38A1 Willy Jeep. Been in our family for over 30 years. Was just restored from top to bottom about 3 years ago and it was very expensive. But we sold our house and land and moving to the lake so we have no where to keep it”
A reader alerted me to this one. I am told it was recently listed at $10,000 by the former owner. It’s now listed at $25,000 by someone who appears to believe this is a WWII jeep. Maybe the $25k isn’t a serious price, as the seller is willing to negotiate.

Wheels are properly sized, new tires 700 x 16 NDCC Firestone with new tubes.
All rims have been blasted, primed and painted.

“Outstanding Willys Jeep M38 4×4 with Army & MASH painted appointments! Fully documented history since leaving the Arkansas Federal Military Surplus in 1972! It remained an Arkansas truck until 1999 before going on display for 19 year in the Evergreen Historical Automobile collection! A great example that comes with a 6-foot service trailer, black out lights, shovel & axe, and more! Neat piece for any collection!

Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Offered is a completely rebuilt beautiful 1952 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial #64192.
This jeep was rescued from a farmer in Lafayette, NJ in 2014. It underwent a frame off restoration. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have restored approx. 20 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had an excellent 1952 M38 frame and drive train minus the engine. I added a civilian CJ3A engine outfitted to look like an MC engine that was professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Machine Shop in Easton, PA.

Laurens is selling his nice looking M-38.
This was just posted at warjeeps.com. It looks really nice ….
“This fully restored M38 has been body off frame restored, both cosmetically and mechanically to new. This rare, complete Arctic Package M38 includes
a factory removable aluminum hard top and doors with sliding glass windows, 20,000 BTU gas heater and deep water fording system for the air intake & exhaust.”
http://www.warjeeps.com/mjs/sale17/adm652/adm652.html
Doesn’t run and has been sitting for 3 decades.
“This jeep has been in a storage shed for over 30 years, I have not had it running. It has a pretty solid body and has most of the original military features in tact. i.e. 24 volt electrical, headlight guards, bows, etc.. I do have a clear title which indicates the 1951 Willys status but does not reflect the same serial number?
There is a rust hole in the right rear corner and the passenger side floor board looks week, other wise pretty solid. The gas tank has been replaced by a civilian tank with smaller filler, not sure why. It does not turn over at this point, but I have not tried very hard.”
