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: Price dropped to $3000.

(02/22/2014) Given the new tires, there appears to be some parts value here.
“I’m selling my 1952 M38 flat fender Willy’s Jeep. I started this project a few years back and I haven’t had the time to put into it. The Jeep does not run and most of it has been disassembled. I have new military tires, rebuilt carburetor and many of the small parts have been sand blasted and primed. I have a new front bumper, new driver and passenger seat cushions and a few other new items. I do not actually know the mileage since it appears the odometer was disconnected long before I got it. I can hand turn the engine so I know it is not seized up. Some parts of the body rusted threw, most of the original wiring has been removed. You must be able to haul the vehicle. If you are interested please call after 5:00 PM and ask for Mike. I’m asking $1500.00, but will consider all offers.”

Bryan has rebuilt another nice looking M-38. Includes 6 months of repair support.
“What you are looking at is a 1950 Willys M38 (MC) military Jeep. These Jeeps were used during the Korean war era. This Jeep has been motor-pool restored and is in near perfect condition. It has been converted to a 12 volt system for the convenience of finding parts locally. I installed a left hand tail light on the right side to make it easier for other drivers to see for safer driving. Drives great. Original 134L engine runs strong with great oil pressure! Original T-90 transmission shifts like new! Older replacement Body tub. No bondo. All metal. Fuel gauge and e-brake are not operational and could use windshield wiper blades. Four wheel drive works as it should! Tires are Nos mud and snow grips that I found in a warehouse and are in good shape. Clear title. It is a hop in and go piece of U.S. history. All you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. I will repair anything that may need replacing for a 6 month period as long as the Jeep and the parts to make the repair are both brought to me to do so.
asking 13,500 OBO will consider cash offers. Also on ebay.
Call/text 601-398-7433 ask for Bryan.”

The gas tank outlet might be civilian (looks a little small), but otherwise this appears worth a look.

This looks like a good price.
“Clearing out the yard. Must go!!! Cheap!!! Great Jeep to fix up and take hunting! No worries about scratching it. This military jeep had the wrong engine so we removed it. The transmission and transfercase were tired and also removed. Body is straight. Frame is good but has additional things welded to it. Has a Saginaw Steering Box. Isn’t OEM but it’s like having power steering. So easy to turn! Does not have engine, drive line, and many other bits. I have extra CJ engines and transmissions should you be interested. Take her home and restore this old warhorse to her former glory. At least get her going. No paperwork.

Mark found this jewel of a PDF at Roscommonequipment.com. We’ve seen a few of these fire jeeps for sale over the years. This document provides some insights into how the pumps work and the type of modifications that were added. The document contains instructions, specifications and detailed drawings.

Here’s an example of one jeep that was for sale last year. I thought there was another one, but I can’t find it at the moment.
UPDATE: Back on eBay. Seller is taking offers.
Pascal forwarded this unique collection for sale on eBay. It includes, an MB,M38,M38A1,M170,M151A1,M422A1. Lots of pics.
“Description
Up for sale is a unique collection of the span of the military jeep generations. Our founder has been collecting these Jeeps for decades and has decided to sell his collection in its entirety.
Over the past decades, our founder collected the cream of what came by our doors, and stored them away in his personal collection. As we are also one of the biggest Jeep Parts distributors in the USA this was a relatively easy task, both to find these jewels and to refit them with whatever parts that were needed. Part can be found at Jeeps Surplus in Oroville, CA. The only vehicle in this collection not running is the “1960 AMC M422A1 MITY MITE”, which hasn’t had any engine work.
The purchase price for the entire jeep collection is $100,000.00. We will not be selling these jeeps individually.
For detailed information and pictures please message us or give us a call at: 530-534-9956 or 530-370-8444″

good seats, roll bar, needs clutch $1600″
Runs, but runs rough.
“I have a 1951 m38 for sale, it is an early m38. Has the lifting shackles mounted on top of the bumper in front. I believe this was a radio jeep for it has the filterette on the firewall and the braided radio cable in place. The jeep does run, but runs rough due to the carb. It needs brakes and exhaust and gas tank cleaned. Most of what you see is surface rust but there is some rust through. It is still 24 volt system. The serial number is MC 11651, the engine number is RMC 39571 and on the title is the engine number. I am asking $3250 for this jeep.”
