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 .
Not 100% restored, but appears solid.

(11/18/2013) Not sure what makes this “One of a Kind”, but it does look in good condition.

Both the jeep and trailer appear solid.
“Jeep willys m38a1 mostly original ,mechanically rebuilt . Still has all army stuff. Comes with original army two wheel trailer.”
This needs another motor installed, but comes with a second.
“I’m selling my 1953 Willy’s jeep, body and drive train are on outstanding condition. The only problem with the Willy’s is that it needs a motor rebuild. Comes with two motors, two trans, two tranfercases. I payed 6,000 for the jeep, taking 2,000 off for the seized motor. Great deal! Please only respond if truly interested. I bought the xtra motor to fix this one. The trans and transfercase are exra. The reason for the engine problems was the oil pick up was clogged and I seized a rod to crank. I do not want to get rid of the beautiful pice of American history but my family come first. Please call me at 9896154327.”

I spotted this ten page Stewart Warner 978 heater Instruction manual on eBay. Then I found what I believe is the actual heater itself. Seems like a neat combo.
Here’s the heater: It is a Southwind Stewart Warner 978 M heater. This looks to be for a 6V vehicle though.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Given this runs and has a full soft top, this might be a good price.

This may have restoration potential.

(10/10/2013) Looks like a nice winch on the front.
“Im selling my 1958 M38A1 Willy’s Army Jeep. Ninety percent original parts! Runs great. New batteries. A must see! Asking $4200.00 OBO”
My son Karson will be in Virginia another week before ending heading back to Sacramento where he completes his FEMA/Americorps experience. During his travels this past year he’s introduced a variety of people to eWillys (well done!). This weekend he was hiking with friends in the Blueridge Mountains where he spotted this M-38A1 on a trailer all by itself.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
The winch alone might be worth the cost of the jeep.
“Recently got this to restore and found that I just don’t have the time and resources. I would rather it go to someone who knows what it is and can get it running again. It is a project and does NOT run. It is complete though. Can deliver for a fee.”
UPDATE: Was $3500. **SOLD**
Lots of work to be done here.
“I have 3 M38A1 Military Jeeps for sale. They Need to be restored. I went to Virgina to pic up 2 of them. $4000 invested on the jeeps….Many Parts and some new. I have spent $ 1600 on ebay for some parts also..The 1954 has a 24 volt system and does run good. The 1952 runs but needs rings.. These will be worth alot of money done up. Just dont have the time anymore. They were my dream to finish. Anyone tha knows how to do body work could have lots of fun. And i have the title for the 1954”
It runs, but is a project.

There can’t be too many Israeli jeeps in the US. I wonder if there’s paperwork as well?
“We have just acquired a very unique jeep for sale it’s a 1955 Willys M38A1 once owned by the Israeli army. This is an extremely rare vehicle to be imported back from Israel all the markings are correct to the time. It is my pleasure to offer it for sale for $9500 delivered anywhere in the US.”

(09/02/2013) This looks solid.
“I purchased this Jeep in late December of 2012 from a restorer and I immediately had new brakes, including emergency brake, and wheel cylinders, shocks, rebuilt steering box, steering dampener and tie rods installed to make it more road friendly. It had the “wobble of death” when I got it but travels very nicely now. I actually had it up to 45 mph and it did great. I paid $12,600 and put about $2,000 into it. I am selling it because I need the money for other investments and firm on the price. I am not a collector or a restorer so I may not be able to answer all of your question. I have kept it out of the weather and only put about 10 miles on it. The Jeep came painted and stenciled as is and I can’t really tell you much about the color or stencils. It is a 24 volt system and the rear turn signals, taillights, headlights and brake lights work. The windshield wipers do not work but I believe all of the components are there. Tires are about 80-90 % tread. The restorer ensured me that the engine was completely overhauled but needs to have the head re-torqued and the valves readjusted after break-in. Current odometer on restored engine is 182 miles. I also have the Title if needed. I am located in Mobile, Alabama and the best way to reach me is through my email”
