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 .

“1947 Willys Jeep. And a 1951 Willys Jeep for parts. The red 47 was running and used to push/pull vehicles into an auto clinic. Hasnt been syarted in several years and rats got to the wiring and hoses. Motor turns over by hand. The blue 51 had a new clutch installed a few years ago, but haven’t done anything with it since. No titles and lots of rust. I don’t have time to fix them up like I wanted. Located near Clifty, AR. $2500 obo.”
UPDATE: Here’s a video that goes through a variety of the vehicles up for auction:
==============================
This Seffes Auctioneers estate auction is for the Ken Yuly Military Vehicle collection. There are quite a few different jeep vehicles. There are MBs, GPWs, M-151s, M-170s, M-38s, M-274s, CJ-2A, trailers, parts, military Dodges, and more.
There are a bunch of jeeps for sale out there. I didn’t have time to post all of them, so here’s a list of links:
This is worth a look. It appears to have a replacement body. Listed as a 1951, I can’t tell if it was originally an M-38 or CJ-3A or something else, though it does have a 2A windshield.

“1952 m38 willys. Nice little jeep. Body is in great shape. It was takin all apart and rebuilt about 4 or 5 years ago. Engine was rebuilt. New side panels. New wiring. Has led tail lights and a 7 way trailer plug. Could use New tires, but they still do the job. Runs great. Two things that need attention are, the amp meter and output shaft seal on the transmission. The amp meter did work, so probably an easy fix. The seal isn’t even necessary to do. But the small drip has saturated the park brake band, so the park brake is pretty much useless. Parts to fix it are cheap, I just never cared to do it. Oh the seats are also not the best. They’re not stock. They’re out of a 65 mustang. Factory replacement seats aren’t exactly cheap, so I never bothered. It’s a fun little rig for the summer time. Clear title in hand. Thanks for looking.”

John shared this nice looking M-38. Note the dual seats in back.

“1951 M38 Willys Jeep 24 Volt and M100 Trailer. New fuel tank, lines, and gauge. Rebuilt carburetor. New spark plugs and wires, NOS coil, distributor. Rebuilt starter. Reupholstered the front seat with extra material for the rear seats. The engine was rebuilt in 1995 with 28,131 miles on the odometer and current mileage 37,960. The rear #4 cylinder(closet to the firewall) is at 75psi on the first pass, then up over 100psi on the 2nd pass. The mechanic believes it could be a simple valve adjustement or ring replacement. The previous owner and i have kept all repair records. The previous owner mentioned that this M38 was in the Korean theater. Clean title on both. I have extra parts and technical manuals”
This one looks in very good shape. Thanks to John for sharing it.

“1952 Army Jeep, 4 cylinders, 3 speeds, running well, titled and insured. Garage kept, located in NJ . Only 33,000 miles. Asking $14,750”
This is a good price for how nice this jeep is. Thanks to Tom for sharing it. As of this writing the sale is pending. It has a problem continuing to run. There could be something in the gas tank (maybe some customer dropped something into the gas tank).

“Korean War 1952 Willys M38. Starts easy. Doesnt stay running, stalls. Maybe bad fuel pump. Vehicle is located inside retail store so its difficult to work on it without fuming up the whole place. All 24v components in place. Correct carb, fuel pump, distributor, voltage regulator, generator. Vehicle is clean, no mud, oil, grime underneath or on engine or transmission. Body is original, decent shape – a little beat up. Floor in back has rust holes, but is pretty solid. 30 cal is a replica made by Hoosier Hot Shot https://www.hoosierhotshot.com/ and is not included. Mount is negotiable. Indiana title numbers matching in my name is included. Vehicle will have to be disassambled to move from the retail store when a serious buyer is found. All the bolts holding it together are new and have never been in the weather. We should be able to do it in a day or so. We will do the dissassembly and reassembly. Buyer can help if they want.”
The body looks in good condition. I can’t tell if the running gear is M-38 or not.

Appears to be original metal body. Odometer show 58,200+ miles but don’t know if actual. Turns heads everywhere. Clean FL title. Possible trade for WWII dodge WC”
No title, but there is an extra tub and a hardtop that does not, in my opinion, look like a Sears model.

“M38. Was told the engine was good when parked 20 years ago. No title It’s rough but complete. I also have an extra tub, sears hard top with doors, and a 53 cj3. Willing to make a package deal if you want it all”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
This has a script tailgate, lacks the battery box lid, but has the grille hinges. So, I’m wondering if this has a replacement body. The engine is out.

“1951 or 52 Willys M38 Jeep. Needs to be restored. It has all parts except the radiator and bumpers as far as I know. The engine is locked up from being stored for so long. I started the restore by taking it apart to get the frame dipped but, never got around to doing that. The frame is solid though. I do not have a title my dad bought this from his friend many years ago and he did have it titled but my dad never go it done. The pictures are of the jeep before I removed the tub from the frame. You will need a trailer to move this. The axels and wheels have also been removed from the frame. EDIT — I also have a canvas top for it but it is missing the plastic rear window”

Comes with a very rough m38 for parts that has no motor in it. Both rigs are bill of sale only i bought the lot 3 from idaho and am building one up so id like to pass these two on to someone who wants a project as i have zero time right now.

Will include 1 complete pair of m38 axles, and a complete open knuckle cj5 dana 30 as well”
