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 .

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”

Has an updated motor.
“Clean 52 willys m38 military jeep with a rare military hard top. Motor was swapped with Chevy 231 straight 6. Motor is from 62. Runs amazing and fires right up. Everything works and is turn key. Jeep is a real head turner and will take you ANYWHERE. Story behind the jeep was that it was in service during the korean war and was decommisoned from the military in 54. It was then used by the fire department as a utility truck and later sold to the public in the late 50’s. Whoever bought it from the fire department, professionally swapped the oriniginal 4 with the bullet proof Chevy 231. If youre looking for an awesome authentic military jeep, here it is. Clean title and street legal.”

Listed as a 1942 GPW, it looks more like a compilation of parts. May have an overdrive. The body has M-38-like cut in the cowl, yet has no side tool indents.

(08/30/2014) Sounds like it is still 24 volt.
“Drives like a willy’s and engine runs great even with poor carb rebuild. Two new batteries. All new plugs. New fuel cell, lines, and fuel pump. Extremely low miles, odometer reads 30k. Lights work and most importantly a monster of a heater. Custom enclosure and doors. Comes with a snow plow. The hydraulic motor and ram are the only things I have not addressed. The rear of the bucket is toast but the rest is pretty good. Just don’t have the time to finish this project. This vehicle has no title, but there may be one in the files of the International college on Federal. If you wish to rebuild a title is should not be a problem. I have a bill of sale from them and they may even have found the original by now. This all original Willy’s except for parts mentioned is in pretty darn good shape. Just needs someone with the know how and gumption to really finish her off.”
