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 .

“Historic – only the second year the civilian model was made. I used it at a hunting lease for 5 years. A great project – plenty of parts available online. The data plate on the firewall says it is a CJ 2A production #49534 or 84. Multiple mechanics have told me that the frame is in good shape. It does not run currently. I have owned it for over 15 years and it was left at a ranch, but now is on the west side of Houston. There is no title for it. Buyer is responsible for arranging and paying for transport. It is being sold as-is.”

Yesterday Ron contacted me, asking if I had see the wagon on the Can-Am commercial. Well, I couldn’t remember seeing a Can Am commercial.
Then, last night I was watching the Temple/USF game and updating eWillys when I looked up to see Can-Am flash across the screen. I thought to myself, I wonder if that was the commercial Ron mentioned. So, I rewinded it and spotted the wagon. There it was, very briefly shown in the background. A red wagon with white trim sporting the name Nick’s Cove. After a quick search that focused on Nick’s Cove only. I found the pic below. Thanks Nick!

Vic has this jeep for sale on eBay.
“This 1951 Willys M38 jeep is a roller project. It is full of history and a lot of its civilian life is known. From what we can gather, it was purchased from the military by a California school district in 1959, then sold in 1983. It has been parked on a ranch in southern California since 1983. It has an RMC-numbered engine which means that sometime between 1951 and 1959 when the civilian title was issued, the original engine blew and was replaced by the factory rebuilt RMC code engine. This code is the vehicle ID number listed on the title. This engine had been removed from the jeep and was found amidst a pile of Willys parts…a true miracle. This engine of course is included with the M38 (see pix). It consists of the block only and has some issues, among them a broken valve and a lot of dirt. Also included are 2 flywheels (one for the big clutch and one for the small for the T90), floorpan for over the transmission, exhaust/intake manifolds, a flexplate, and 2 stock rear bumpers. It is a 24-volt jeep and the plug on the passenger side is intact.
Serial number for this M38 is 30118, delivered 8-51. All ID and serial number code plates are intact. This jeep is being sold with the 1959 title. There are no license plates.
Body: This poor jeep has received at least 3 paint jobs over the original military green…grey, red and finally, yellow, plus undercoating that is peeling off. Any rust that is visible is surface rust. The floorpan is solid with the exception of one corner of the front passenger floor (see pic), there is a small hole there. The hood has a part that was cut out on the right side and it has cracked there. The tailgate is beat up and the rear bumpers are busted (2 excellent ones are included to replace these). There are many dings and marks but all in all, the body is solid. The windshield is missing and the side mirror is broken. There is a crease on the right quarter panel and also some damage to the right front fender (see pic). The rear lights plastics are in poor condition. … (read more on eBay)”

I like this drag jeep.
“This is a super cool sand drag or pro-street JEEP. It is registered as a 1954 Willys. It was built in the early 90s and stored inside. It is powered by a BBC 454 with 350 transmission and a 9″ rearend. Please look at the photobucket link before asking questions. There are a lot of photos on the link.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495
(01/23/2012) This project appears to have potential.
“THIS IS NOT A RUNNING VEHICLE. I have a project that I recently purchased that is just not a good fit for me or my garage right now. It is a 1949 2 Wheel Drive Jeepster by Willy’s. I bought a few months ago after it had sat in dry storage for a number of years. It looks like a mid 80’s restoration to me. The body is in remarkable condition and the vehicles is for the most part 100% complete (I threw away the top). It was originally a Butternut yellow color. The current paint is passable as driver quality. The running gear is a 1973 Buick 350 and matching bop transmission, the original rearend is still in the vehicle.There is a nice Ron Franicis wiring harness installed complete. The engine is out on a stand and needs rebuilt or go the SBC route. I curently have the front sheetmetal off and stored, there is no radiator. All of that said this a really fun vehicle that would be great with a little work as a driver or do a complete restoration. I am not selling because I need the money and the price is reasonalbly firm. I am however very open to trades which might include: 68-72 Nova, second gen camaro or other muscle cars,”
