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: Still Available.

“On sale is a 1952 Willys Jeep model M38 in pretty good condition considering it’s age. This is a military, not civilian version even though previous owner repainted it to red color.

Very new tires in original spec.
I have this jeep for two years, and have done a few things to the jeep:
– Rebuilt carburetor
– Restored braking system
– Replace fuel pump
I was planning to completely restore this jeep to it original condition, but found don’t have time and need more space, so have to let it go. Please respond via email if you are interested or have questions. I will get back to you promptly”
