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 .

“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC33376
This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2012. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 22 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been used heavily during it’s active life and was in desperate need of rebuild. (I’ve included two before pictures towards the bottom of the listing) The frame and drive train were complete but needed some repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine made by Willys of France in excellent shape – it runs great and is very powerful. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but most of the other components are original Willys. (i.e. fenders, hood, grill, windshield, seat frames). The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, civilian WO carburetor .
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.
Chassis and Drive Train: four new leaf springs , new shackles, new shocks, new axle bumpers, frame stripped/blasted and painted, some components repaired (used some similar CJ3A parts) new front bumper, new u-joints, new clutch and bearing, new seals and bearings on tranny and transfer case which were drained and cleaned repainted, and all fluids and gaskets replaced, new e-brake pads, hardware, and cable, new engine/tranny mounts, new brakes including all lines and hoses, new master cylinder, four new wheel cylinders. New steering wheel, new rear bumperettes, authentic pintle hook. Five vintage 7.00×16 NDCC tires (they are older but in great shape)on blasted and painted 16” original rims.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Looks solid.

“This is a modified 1952 M38 military jeep. This is very solid and not rusty. It has a 1974 mustang II motor that runs good as well as an automatic transmission and power steering. It has axles from a 1965 CJ5 and will go faster than 45 mph. It needs the metal brake lines replaced on the axles because they are not there from the axle swap. It has the original Dana 18 transfer case and the four wheel drive works. This jeep was built in 1976 and has been sitting ever since in storage. This is not a junky jeep made for the woods to beat up and trash. With a little work this can be a great daily driver. The 1976 white top is still in very good condition. This has a clear TN title.
This doesn’t run and my have a seized engine.

This looked great on the outside, so I was a bit surprised to see the Ford engine on the inside. I’m sure it’s a fine engine . . . I just wasn’t expecting to see it.
“This is a military M-38 1/4 ton jeep, made in 1951 by Willys for the US Army. The M-38 was produced in the smallest numbers of the flatfender jeeps, and is highly collectible. I have owned this jeep for 16 years and have done almost every necessary repair in that period of time. When I purchased the jeep it came with a Ford 2.3 litre replacement engine instead of the original Willys L-head. I decided to keep that engine as it had better performance. The engine has been rebuilt, the transmission replaced, the front end has been rebuilt, brakes rebuilt, it has been re wired (12 volt), has new wheels, new gauges installed, a complete Beachwood Canvas enclosure with side curtains and doors, the correct military radio (not hooked up) with whip antennae, rifle mount on dash, pioneer tools on the side, and many other things that make this an ideal parade vehicle. Everything works. It is a very dependable daily driver. I keep it in excellent condition. The only repair that should be done is to replace the floor pans, which have some decay. This jeep is made to look original. However, the Ford engine and the ramsey electric winch on the front are not original. If the buyer is interested, I have a spare Willys L-head engine that has not been rebuilt that can go with the jeep.”
