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 $2500.
Based on the dash, the body appears to be an aftermarket replacement body with the M-38 dash. It has both the glove box and the dash plate for the gauges.

Buz spotted this running M-38A1 that still has a 24 volt system. It does have some rust.
“1955 willys m38a1 all original 12,000 original miles runs good needs complete restoration. It’s still original 24 volt and lights work. It needs new resivor for brakes because the fluid will leak out it has a little rust in floor pans but not bad at all for age it’s way better than many other jeeps. It has a title and would make a great jeep that’s worth a lot of money. Call or text Matt (803)493five63two for more pics and details”

Sean’s got this combo for sale. There is a crack near the fill hole of the transfer case.
“T-90 transmission and transfercase for sale. This was pulled from a 1943 GPW and was in working order, though it is either from the late 40s or early 50s. Easily shifted into 1st, 2nd and 3rd gears, as well as reverse. Transfercase also works and engaged high and low gears. There is a small crack in the transfercase, though it doesn’t seem to affect how it works, and it does not leak oil.
I’m selling this since I recently purchased a correct T-84 transmission for my resto.
Please contact through e-mail or call/text for questions. Thanks.”

(02/15/2014) This appears to have an overdrive, too. It looks like a good price.

(11/02/2013) It’s a nice looking jeep, but doesn’t come cheap.

This August 1957 article in Popular Mechanics shares the story of these water hunters who travel the southwest in a jeep truck. The article is available at Google Books. Or, you can search for an issue on eBay.
This photo shows Joan Rogers sitting in the jeep she used to pass a driving test. She found the jeep ‘great fun’. She lived in London during WWII, serving in the Royal Army Pay Corp before being selected for officer training at the Women’s Royal Army Corps. The website TheMemoryProject shares her story of living through the bombing of London.

If so, try Sal Hepatica. Personally, I know just how that driver feels. This ad can be found in the January, 1951, issue of Country Gentleman. This ad is posted on Flickr, too.
UPDATE: Was listed at $2500. **SOLD**
It has potential, but does not run.
“1963 Jeep Fleetvan does not run, great project vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500
“What you are looking at is a 1950 Willys M38 (MC) military Jeep. These Jeeps were used during the Korean war era. This Jeep has been motor-pool restored and is in near perfect condition. It has been converted to a 12 volt system for the convenience of finding parts locally. I installed a left hand tail light on the right side to make it easier for other drivers to see for safer driving. Drives great. Original 134L engine runs strong with great oil pressure! Original T-90 transmission shifts like new! Older replacement Body tub. No bondo. All metal. Fuel gauge and e-brake are not operational and could use windshield wiper blades. Four wheel drive works as it should! Tires are Nos mud and snow grips that I found in a warehouse and are in good shape. Clear title. It is a hop in and go piece of U.S. history. All you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep. I will repair anything that may need replacing for a 6 month period as long as the Jeep and the parts to make the repair are both brought to me to do so.
asking 13,500 OBO will consider cash offers. Also on ebay.
Call/text 601-398-7433 ask for Bryan.”
Here’s a CJ-5 that looks like a good bargain. Based on the pics, I’d say it has both a hardtop and a softtop.

You can view the build thread here: http://www.knoxoffroad.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=5031 (you have to scroll down within the thread). Needs finishing.
“I’m not hurting on this at all! With us looking to buy a a home this year and financial progress on hold until that is done, I am considering selling the willys hot rod for the $4200 I have in it. That’s as a roller with good motor/ trans, but still needing nickel and dime parts. I’ll finish it if I don’t sell it once we have our own place but it’s money that could be used else where for now. It does not run or drive right now, still needs finishing. Brakes, cooling system, plumbed, rear coil overs or airbags, paint, steering work, paneling to cover rear… Hopefully this will weed out some of the tire kickers and “serious buyers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s a running project that might have some value.
“for sale 1951 willys wagon has a 152 cubic inch international motor that runs. project vehicle $1500 may consider trade for hunting equipment of equal value”
It’s only 2WD at the moment.
“302 auto,some customizing, was 4×4,but now just a 2wd street machine,runs drives good, many upgrades,power rackand pinion steering, tilt,power breaks,everything works,some bondo on back doors,has 4×4 front axle in yet so if you put transf.case in can have 4×4, sell or trade for a good wrangler, call for info,651-30 one-2118”

Plans for this sidewalk jeep were posted on eBay for sale. Originally published in the March 1948 issue of POPULAR MECHANICS, the plans are also available for free at Google Books.
Derek Redmond wants everyone to know that the CJ-3B Page has moved domain names. So, update your bookmarks if you haven’t.
Charles forwarded these two photos of Navy Jeeps. These photos were posted at Flickr.
Tom Sterndale was wondering if any knows the numbering system behind these Navy APU Hood numbers. Thanks to Aron for this great photo.
