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 .
Will need some work.

This project flattie might have a replacement body rather than an M-38 body. Look like a good roll cage.

“1952 M38A1 military Jeep. the Jeep was originally Air Force Blue when my Grandfather got it in the 60’s. He put an early 60’s Buick 174ci V6 in it. It was only used for elk hunting for a good 20 years and was always garaged. Last year it got a fresh paint job new top, tires, seats, seat belts, wiper motors(2) and exhaust. Brakes have been redone and new master cylinder. It has been n the family for a long time, just sits n the garage and doesn’t get driven.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800.
This is a mix of parts. Seller claims the body is a CJ-3A, but it’s an M-38. Those “Desert Dog” tires must be recaps?? The windshield is military, not CJ-2A.
