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 good.

The seller listed the price at $20,000, but the seller mentions potential buyers shouldn’t bid unless serious about buying. So, I guess he is taking bids?

The windshield on this 2A was a surprise. That could be a pretty rare windshield, though it appears to be a CJ-3A rather than a M-38 windshield. This also has a rear PTO.

” M38 1951 Military Jeep/Converted to look like a Willys WW2 Jeep
WORKS GREAT NO PROBLEMS !!!!
This is the perfect Jeep for the WW2 reenactor or someone who wants a dependable vehicle for parades or for 4×4 mudding.
I was told this is a rare Jeep as not many were made. Compared to the Willys WW2 Jeep.
This vehicle is a Willys 1951 M38 Military Jeep with a repro grill, hood, and windshield and new canvas to make it look like a Willys WW2 jeep has black out lights on dash, rarely used since reconditioned.
Gas tank has been relined so no rust, battery has been converted so its modern 12 volt not vintage, fuel pump runs great carburator has been rebuilt, new metal gas line, new distrubutor, new radiator, new tires no wear cylinoid starter was put on it so it starts right up.
Canvas alone is worth $1000.00 you get the top and windshield cover from Beechwood canvas .
The M38 was faster more robust than the willys and can 4×4 better. The transmission is better too.
It was rebuilt painted and has turn signals added so you can drive around safely. No rust inside and out.
Other mechanical things were done to it to make it run flawlessly.
It was redone electronically so it functions like a modern car you really can’t tell the differnce when you look at the engine unless your a jeep fanatic.
The points were taken out and replaced by a computer chip for faster start up and less tune ups.”
