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 .
Looks in good shape.

“Outstanding Willys Jeep M38 4×4 with Army & MASH painted appointments! Fully documented history since leaving the Arkansas Federal Military Surplus in 1972! It remained an Arkansas truck until 1999 before going on display for 19 year in the Evergreen Historical Automobile collection! A great example that comes with a 6-foot service trailer, black out lights, shovel & axe, and more! Neat piece for any collection!
Low mileage M-38 that’s been restored.

“This 1952 Willys M38 was purchased as a military-spec example by the seller in 1996 and subsequently underwent extensive refurbishment to its exterior sheet metal, tub, frame, brakes, steering, exhaust, and 24-volt electrical system. Power is sent to all four wheels from an L-head 134ci four-cylinder through a 3-speed transmission and 2-speed transfer case, all three of which were rebuilt during the 1990s work. Modifications include a new old-stock military deep-water fording kit as well as modern gauges, lighting, and wheels. This M38 is offered with documentation of the refurbishment, two covers, and a clean Michigan title.”

“Note: This Jeep does not have a title. It will be sold with a bill of sale only. Don’t read any further if you can’t deal with buying it on a bill of sale only. Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Offered is a completely rebuilt beautiful 1952 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial #64192.
This jeep was rescued from a farmer in Lafayette, NJ in 2014. It underwent a frame off restoration. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have restored approx. 20 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had an excellent 1952 M38 frame and drive train minus the engine. I added a civilian CJ3A engine outfitted to look like an MC engine that was professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Machine Shop in Easton, PA.

May need a transfercase rebuild and a new clutch, but I still think this may be a good price.
1952 Canadian military M38 “jeep” built buy Ford of Canada.
A direct copy of the Willy’s American built M38 with a few custom features for the Canadian Government.
The biggest difference was the addition of a Warren front winch and data plates with Imperial units.
Correct British radio set.
This is an older armature restoration.
The Good:
Runs great! Has a Jasper rebuilt engine, Starts right up and is quiet and smooth.
Brakes are in excellent shape. New master cyl and 90% plus brake shoes.
Excellent top and interior, Good Canadian made tires.
Drives and shifts well.
Comes with the correct Canadian built trailer.
The bad:
Clutch slips under a heavy load.
Has a noisy bearing in the transfer case.
Use it as a parade or trailer queen or fix and hit the road!
$8500 No Trades! If its listed its for sale!”

UPDATE: Claus confirmed that this same jeep was on eBay for $20k recently. If you see this posted other places on Craigslist, I’d suggest flatting it.
Craig shared this ad. The too-good-to-be-true price on this beautiful M-38 suggests it is likely a scam. The phone number for the ad is a California one, but it was listed in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, Craigslist. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s a scam (as I still have my Cali phone number), but is just another reason to be suspect.
“Also has new 12 volt batteries. Totally rebuilt engine and transmission”

This could be 99% original.
