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: **Status Unknown**
Seller must get rid of his jeeps. I can’t tell how many or what types are there, other than a couple M-38A1s. The white M-38 has sold.
“I have collected these older jeeps over the years and have accumulated a few parts jeeps that i have to remove from the property. None of these jeeps have titles or any other papers. They are parts jeeps, or farm jeeps or trail jeeps. They have different prices on them, please call for prices. If the add is still up they are for sale. The m38 on left has been sold”
Look solid.

“1955 Korean War M38A1 Willy’s Jeep that is in excellent condition. I have receipts, work order, maintenance logs going back nearly 20 years. This jeep has had a lot of time, effort and money invested into it over the years including a full engine overhaul (at a cost of nearly 3.5K– nothing was skimped. Vehicle has approx 2700 miles since engine overhaul. I currently drive the jeep when weather permits in parades and military funerals. The paint is from Quantico U.S. Marine Base and is Marine Chemical Resistant paint approximately 8 years old. Every thing works on the jeep. Gages, horn, lights and has new spark plugs, wires, new radiator and has a very hard to find military antenna. This is a 24 volt system that has 2 new military batteries. This is not a frame off restoration but everything else is 100 percent. All new canvas on seats and top. There is an AM/FM/CD radio
with 9″ speakers mounted in two ammo cans in the rear of the jeep. Five new military tires and tubes”
Runs.

https://kalispell.craigslist.org/cto/6203182836.html
Lots of interesting mods to the jeep. Is that paint or a wrap?
“This 1952 Willys has had several modifications, namely a reconfigured floor pan and cowl to accommodate the late-model Ford 302 small block V-8 and C-4 automatic transmission. Other modifications include power rack and pinion steering, power front disc brakes and chassis upgrades to accommodate the 33 inch Goodyear Wrangler tires on custom alloy rims. The engine is dressed with Ford Racing Billet accessories, MSD ignition, 4 barrel carburetor and ceramic coated headers and dual exhausts with chrome side pipes
Interior upgrade features include Mastercraft shock absorbing ride seats, B & M automatic on the floor shifter, Roll bar, tilt steering column and a full set of gauges.”

“All original with only 28,000 miles. Has new springs, brakes, drums, wheel cylinders, clutch, regulator, plugs and wires, rebuilt carb. Was overhauled last year with hardened valve seats. Rear cam bearing should be installed as it has low oil pressure and started knocking. Does need new batteries. I have the original top but not the bows. Need to sell so offers are considered.”

Craig shared this one. It includes a Warn OD.
“Started life as a military M38A1. Has since been blended with several donor CJ5’s. Converted to 12 volt alternator, lights and starter. Wheels are standard 15”. Seats are out of a ’72 Scout. Rear of Jeep was removed by a previous owner so I installed a tailgait and have included a new tailgait yet to be painted. A new windshield frame and gasket is also included as the one on it has cracked.
It’s been sitting for several years. Runs great, Moves, but won’t stop. Brakes will need to be addressed. I will include new wheel cylinders, but the master cylinder should probably be replaced also. Includes an older Besttop soft top with doors. Doors are good. Top has a few issues.
4 cylinder f head engine.
3 speed trans with a rare Warn “all-range” overdrive. New, the overdrive sells for $1000+. Overdrive is still manufactured and sold by Advance Adapters as a Saturn overdrive.”

https://bham.craigslist.org/cto/6127022333.html
The seller has a complete jeep and a parts jeep.
This one looks in good shape. Barry spotted it. It almost looks like the rear wheels are larger than the fronts. It must be an optical illusion?
“I am selling my 52 Willys overland, frame off restoration with a little over 23k mileage. Runs and drives really nice, very fun to drive. I have too many projects and need to let this one go. I will consider trades for running drivable Camaro, Chevelle or an 87 Monte Carlo SS hardtop. ”
