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 .
Needs work.

“1952 M38 willys jeep. Buick V6, Warn overdrive, headers, datsun seats, 12v, military top, 12-15 tires,11 inch brakes. In barn for 15 years. Needs a battery, 12v . Hasn’t run in years. Old winch included.”
A seller named Φίλιππος Κερενκιώτης near Thessaloniki, Greece, let me know that he’s got an M-38 for sale. It’s a project, but it does include the proper paperwork.
He contacted me via FB, so if you are in/near Greece and interesting in this, I’ll hook you up with him. Maybe this is a good time to take your significant other to Greece?
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8000.

“I have a 1948 willys jeep body
1952 willys remanufactured body
A samurai rolling chassis with axles , transfer case , steering box , samurai steering column and driveshafts
1948 willys jeep frame
two windshield frames
Two hoods, tailgate, gas tank, and
one seat
Box full of gauges headlights instrument plate
My original plan was to put the 1948 body on the 1948 frame using the drivetrain from the samurai chassis. The 1952 remanufacture body was to be used to replace the floor and patching. Would be a killer deal for the right person.”
