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 .

It runs. This might be a good price.
“Run’s Good need’s some work ”

Looks good. I wonder which four star general the seller means.
“SEMI RESTORED WILLY’S JEEP; ORIGINAL 6 CYLINDER; 4 SPEED; REAL 4 STAR GENERAL’S JEEP FROM US ARMY”
It looks good. Should it have the holes drilled for a passenger side spare tire?

(04/20/2011) This was completed by the folks at Vintage Offroad. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the yellow steering wheel.
“Outstanding example of the most ICONIC Jeep – The Willy M38. This one has had 2 year body off restoration to new. It also has the rare overdrive, so she can travel on the highway. Full convertible, soft tops available.”
This is inaccurately labeled a 1946.

“Frame off restoration in 2003/2004 (completed with my M37) – with all 24V parts (mostly OEM). I found this Jeep at a Machine shop in Tucson painted orange and converted to 12V – I spent over a full year converting it back to 24V and restoring it to Military condition. I have many extra parts that I will throw in with this purchase. I enjoy 4 – wheeling and this vehicle has always been the hit of the trips – it is fun to watch the guys with the expensive rock crawlers come and marvel at the M38. Veterans Day parades have also been a great time in the Jeep with my sons. This vehicle is restored to motor pool condition and has had its share of off road adventures (see picture of catching air with the boys in the seats smiling ear to ear! This is not a trailer Queen – It has a strong engine and transmission. All canvas in GREAT condition. This Jeep needs a good home with someone to drive it and enjoy it as much as I have.
This jeep needs: horn does not work (used to but I disconnected it when it got stuck on), needs wiper motors and wipers (never needed in AZ) and slight dent in rear tailgate. There is no canvas top, spare tire in excellent condition. Minor leaks underneath but normal for any military vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.

(02/10/2011) This must be painted Civil Service Yellow. Might not be a bad price for a frame off restoration.

This could be a good deal given the seller’s need to sell.

2500.00 must sell.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This is interesting. The seller says this is an unrestored M-38 in great condition. If accurate, this might be an unusual find if you want a M-38.
“Up for sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Army jeep. Looks and runs good. Tires are new. No rust however certain parts are pitted. Willys flathead 4cyl engine original to the jeep, T90 trans, 4wd. This is a rare untouched, unrestored find. It came straight from the fire dept and runs very good. Shifts fine, Steers tight, stops as it should and does not leak any oil. It has been converted to 12 volt by the fire dept and has never been modified or in civilian hands untill recently. I have the original gov. release form. This jeep also has the original spring seat cushions.
the last photo is a picture of my yard, if you buy and pay you will recieve. Local pickup only however I can help with shipping to 48 states and overseas.”
This might make a good restoration project if the seller’s description is accurate.
“This is a PROJECT Jeep from the Korean War era. It is an excellent platform for a complete restoration, or you can build it up as a fun Jeep to run around in.
It has many very valuable and rare military spec parts, and will come with the following parts. I will not separate the parts or allow cherry picking of the expensive and rare items. You could buy this jeep and easily part it out for more than my asking price.
Jeep rolls, steers, and stops. The axles and drive train are complete and original. The correct stamped Willys RMC engine is disassembled, but remains in-frame. The body has both data plates, and they match.
Comes with correct and original Carter YS waterproof carburetor, Engine lift hook, air cleaner, underhood battery box in excellent condition. Has correct 24Volt generator, starter, and distributor. Correct headlight guards, and all original Willys sheet metal. Very little rust, and the body is solid.
Has date correct Cooper NDT mil spec tires, etc. Original seat frames in good restorable condition. Comes with other NOS and good parts. Sold with bill of sale only. Call James at 510-682-6398 to see it.”
