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 .
This may be worht a look.

“A very nice restoration candidate. Excellent overall condition. Very strong and quiet running engine, no smoke, starts right away. Totally correct engine compartment with all the correct 24V electrics. Transmission and transfer case shift and operate smoothly, no excessive noise or leaks. Some minor dents in the body and fenders. The only rust is not the passenger floor and is shown in the photos. A small hole was cut in the right rear wheel well and can also be seen in the pictures. Totally correct interior and exterior. Original top bows, all the brackets. No top canvas included. All original early wheels. Tires are 40% or so. Original fuel tank too!
It was 36 degrees F when I took the pictures, so the exhaust you see is not smoke!
New parts recently added: all new brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, fuel lines, batteries, front bumper, rear bumperettes, clutch z tube and seal kit, complete exhaust system.
This jeep could be used as is. Runs, drives and stops. All you need to do is put a new wiring harness in and repaint it.”

“1951 Willy’s M38 A1 Jeep for sale. Runs and drives. New snow tires so can be driven or towed. New Solex carburetor. Have a few spare parts including original air cleaner.

“1952 Overland M38 A1 Jeep. Moving soon and don’t have the time to restore this properly. Frame is in *excellent* condition, no rust. Needs some bodywork on rear panel and left-front fender, otherwise ready for primer-paint. Mostly complete though missing random parts like seat cushions, generator, gauges, and other little odds/ends. Transmission and transfer case recently rebuilt (can’t verify though they shift fine and oil was clean). Engine rebuilt though I don’t know how much mileage or when. Cyl head needs new valves and guides since they rusted from sitting in damp environment. If you have questions please ask, email for quickest response. $1500 firm. You won’t find one in better condition.”
