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 .
UPDATE: Was Priced at $5000. **SOLD**
This looks like a nice M-38.
“Would like to trade my 51 Willys M-38 for a MGB, prefer steel bumper models, Let me know what you have. Thank-you!”

It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that. Looks good.
“This is a 90% restored military jeep with everthing, simulated Gas firing 50 Cal M2H machine gun, water cooled 1919 30.cal,thompson M1A1 sub machine gun, M1 garand,

(04/22/2012) Bad V8 engine.
“1951 Willys Jeep. / project. Currently has a V8 Chevy Power Plant . Engine is Bad. This is a Military issue willys jeep from 1951. I do not know any history on it. The jeep came to me in a trade deal . I don’t know any more info on it other than what you can see in the photos. I do have a clear title in hand. Best Offer / will consider trades
(Trades that I will consider: utility 4 wheelers / nice riding mower (John Deere would be nice) V8 Mustangs/ all convertable Mustangs must be drivable, road ready.)”
It looks like it needs a little more work and some paint. I once went on a date in Hermosa Beach at a Sushi place on a corner near the pier. The sushi place was delicious, though I can’t remember the name anymore.

Here’s a rare Canadian version of the M-38 built by Ford. Nicely restored rig.
“Buy a part of history. 1952 M38CDN Willys Jeep. One of only 2,135 assembled by Ford Motor Co. in Ontario, Canada. Completly rebuilt L134 “Go Devil” flathead engine. All new military components. Original 24V electrical system. New clutch, rebuilt carb, rebuilt fuel/vac pump. New brake lines, shoes, drums and wheel cylinders . Three speed T90 transmission. Relined fuel tank with new sending unit and in tank filter. This Jeep still has the original body which shows normal wear and tear. Original canvas top, side curtains and doors (in fairly rough shape). 46,892 miles with only 1,200 on motor. Comes with pioneering tools, one set of original military tire chains, manuals and the opportunity to drive through history. More photos are available upon request.”
I wonder if it runs?

Well, besides the fact that M-38s weren’t made in 1949, this doesn’t look anything like a M-38. Given what appears to be full floaters in the rear and no drain hole in the side, I’d guess this is more of a CJ-2A/MB hybrid.
“This is a nice m38 Willys jeep. I have the full top and also bikini top for it. I just had the starter rebuilt and relaxed the starter sylenoid. It runs and drives good and the 4 wheel drive works great. This is a original m38 and still has the floor bracket for a heavy machine gun mount. I also have a original set of Willys wheels with military tires and brand new tubes that go with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a nice M-38.
“This jeep was just completed, it runs and drives. The motor was gone through and is in good working order.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
There are a mix of parts and rolling frames.
“1942 TO 1952
WILLYS JEEP
PLUS 4 PARTS JEEPS”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
This has a M-38 windshield and I think it has a glove box on the dash, too, so I think it is a M-38 rather than the CJ-3A indicated by the seller. Or, it is a mix of parts.
“66K Miles. Decent condition. Comes with Tow Bar & Soft Top. Less than 500 miles traveled in last 10 years. Runs great; but, needs brake work.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1600.
This runs.
“I HAVE THIS 1952 M38 MILITARY JEEP FOR SALE. IT HAS THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM WINTER TOP WITH DATA PLATE, ORIGINAL MC ENGINE, RADIATOR. BRAKES DO NOT WORK. THE ENGINE RUNS WITH NO SMOKE BUT HAS A RATTLE FROM THE TAPPETS. I DO HAVE A CLEAR TITLE FOR THIS JEEP. I CAN SEND MORE PICTURES UPON REQUEST.”
The windshield is CJ-2A, but much of the rest looks M-38 to me.
“I have some willys flat fender parts front clip, both seat frames, gas tank, roll bar, has 2 front dana 27 axles and 1 dana 44 rear axle. No motor no tranny no transfer case. The windshield frame is rusted out around the windows and in pretty rough shape. Lots of misc. parts, steering colums, spring packs.

I can send pics of other parts not in the pictures via text message if desired. If your interested in anything make me an offer. Jeremiah 360-433-8051”
