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: **SOLD** Was $6200.

This is a great price on a 1952 or early 1953 M-38A1.

“1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B – Complete ground up restoration in 1996. Engine rebuilt at that time, including hardened valve seats for unleaded fuel. Still has the original oil bath air cleaner. Upgraded to 11″ drums all around. Has 2-1/2″ springs on it with 31X 10.5 tires 75+% tread. Full size spare. All stock running gear, 5-38 gearing with lock-right locker in the rear. Has custom fully welded Bumpers front and rear both with 2″ receivers. Rear bumper includes spare tire mount. Also added power steering. Locker, bumpers and power steering work was done around 1998. Jeep was used regularly (every – other weekend or so) from 1996 through 2000. Since 2000 it has been started and driven very little. I replaced the fuel tank and installed a new optima red top battery within the last year. It does need a good tune-up, but everything is working. This is a very clean rust free jeep. We are coming up on 20 years that this Jeep has been in our family and it has always been garaged. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
Glenn spotted this good looking truck.
“Restored 1962 Willys 1 t truck. Original motor has been replaced with 3.8L- V6 Buick engine, all other drive train components are original equipment. Interior has complete re-upholstery. This is a solid body off restoration, 1500 miles since restoration, purchased 1.5 years ago and have no time to appreciate it. Has been updated with power steering and seat belts and is able to be stickered if needed. This is a nice truck for someone who has the time to appreciate and use it.

UPDATE: Craig pointed out that it’s possible the MB frame on this the correct frame. Ford used the same frame supplier, Midland Steel, before they contracted with Murray Steel for the GPW frames. (http://olive-drab.com/od_mvg_www_jeeps_mbgpw.php)

Flathead engine is not correct, possibly late 40`s but I do have a Willys MB Block, WW2, (was running engine) that goes with the Jeep.

Reply back if interested, and we can go from there, doors for the cab are inside it.. Of course its 4-wheel drive..high and low range..Will probably need some work, but it runs and drives as is..”
No description, but the tool indents suggest it is a VEC.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $475.
Those front frame rails appear in good shape. Given that and the engine parts there seems to be some value here.
“1946 Willys CJ2A . This Jeep would be best as a part vehicle, body is very rusty however the frame is still solid and has not been modified. The engine is complete but is stuck from setting. This would be a good donor Jeep for another project asking $475 if interested please call”
Looks like a parts jeep.

I’m taking Sunday off to work on Biscuit. I installed the new springs Saturday night (photos forthcoming) and will begin the engine installation Sunday.
Meanwhile, later this week my boys arrive. We’ll have a short time together, so there will be some reruns of old posts later this week. Next week Ann, her mother, and I will be camping up by Deception Pass. I don’t expect to be doing much but relaxing, so I will have mobile updates from there.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900.
Doesn’t run, but still appears to be a good price.

UPDATE: Was $7500. **Status Unknown**
Looks solid.
“Yes it runs…great! 🙂 Best way to describe it is to come look at it for yourself!”
Listed as a 1946 CJ-2A, it sure looks like a M-38 to me.
“This is a full frame up restoration not a scratch and well cared for jeep. Runs and drives. Spent most of its life in a museum. Also has a rare trailer with it. You won’t be disappointed with this find!”

Looks like a good jeep.
“I have for sale a 1952 Willys M38. It was restored about 6 months ago, but I would say it is 98% done. What I mean is it has no decals on it, no add-ons, etc. I wanted to keep it “base” form so whoever bought it can take it and put there personal touches on it. This is not a true M38 restoration. What I mean by that is it has been converted over to an alternator and 12-volt system, it has blinkers both front and rear, it has lockout hubs on the front axle, etc. Just a few little things that makes it easy on the owner and easy to take off down the road in.
This was a full frame-off restoration. Everything was sand blasted and re painted. The original tub was rusted far way beyond repair. I actually found a super-nice M38 tub that I picked up in Pennsylvania. The L-134 “Go Devil” engine was rebuilt with all new bearings are rings, etc. The T-90 transmission, Dana 18 transfercase, and both Dana axles also have all new bearings and seals. The gauges are all new, new wiring harness ($$$), new tires ($$$), new fuel tank ($$$), new exhaust, new driveshafts, new brakes, new seats, new weather stripping, new everything. It is really a nice Jeep. It does not have a top or a rear seat, I just never got around to getting those and I like having my dog ride in the back so I didn’t bother.
Like I said, it is 98% done. I literally “finished it” and took it home, it still has just a few kinks that need to be worked out. The fuel-sending unit and the fuel gauge are both new, but the fuel gauge isn’t registering. I just haven’t taken the time to check it. If it sits for a few weeks, it can be hard to start, it does have a choke but you almost have to choke it by hand and then it fires up, almost like the choke doesn’t choke it all the way. And lastly I did use the factory starter and it works pretty good, but it can act goofy from time to time, I should have just put a new one on it.
It really is a super-nice Willys M38. Not a 100% military restoration, but practical. I have only had it done for about 6 months now but I am just not that interested in it anymore. Plus, I am a big guy and these army Jeep are pretty cramped, I am just not comfortable in it. I have only put 15 miles on it since it was restored. I am asking $10,000 or best reasonable offer. This is a military vehicle, Bill of Sale only, no title. It is currently tagged in Georgia.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
Needs battery, but runs.
“1967 Jeep CJ6-A Half-cab
This is a rare vehicle- approximately 400 made. Has a Buick V-6 engine which is probably the original motor. Not sure of the exact mileage, but motor is very stong and this little Jeep is a great runner. You will need a new battery, but once jump-started it runs just fine.
Has a 3-speed transmission with a nice tight clutch. It is very low geared – so great for off-road – but goes down the highway at 55 mph very nicely. I have driven it 40+ miles, and back – several times – and never had a problem. I have also driven it in a few local parades, and it does catch peoples’ eye.
Good brakes – just had them checked and some lines replaced (notice the bent front bumper – that was before the brakes were fixed and a tree stump stopped me). Will need some body work done to restore it to perfect condition.
Speedometer and temp gauge work, but most the others don’t. Horn, windshield wiper, and all lights work. Has a brand new driver’s side seat belt, but passenger belt needs replaced. “
