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 .

“Willys M38 Military Jeep from M-Series Jeep category. Ready for fun and recently painted and gone over. Near Branford or Old Saybrook area. Asking $9900.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
No perfectly stock, but looks in good condition. The serial number is 18936, but appears to be missing indents. I can’t tell if it has a column shift or not either.
“This item for auction is a rare Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is a “VEC” (“Very Early Civilian”) model as it was produced almost immediately after World War II. The VECs share many parts with the legendary 1941 to 1945 Jeeps and is just as indestructible.
I bought this in August as something to tool around in and take out to the desert. Due to health concerns, I’m no longer able to drive it.
The Jeep starts, runs, steers, stops rides etc very well. The motor fires right up and once warmed up, it has an idle as quiet as a sewing machine. The transmission shifts smoothly through all gears, the clutch works great and I just redid the front and rear brakes. The front floor pans were patched in the last few years and are very solid. If you look underneath, you can see where it was repaired. There’s no major body rust and the frame is straight. I replaced the front bumper too.
The Jeep is currently registered though March and has a clear title. It is exempt from onerous emission control regulations.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The wagon looks nice. With some body work the truck might look good, too.

UPDATE: Bob notes the jeep is the museum next to the ship and not inside the ship.
Bob took time during his visit to Alabama to visit the USS Alabama Memorial Park in Mobile, Alabama. It turns out there’s a jeep in the museum next to this old fighter. If you have time, you might want to check out this unique opportunity to explore a battleship.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This truck looks good, though it has two different types of rims.
“This auction is for a 1950 4×4 Willys Jeep Pickup. It is in turn key running condition with a transplanted small block ford V8 mated (289) to a 3 speed manual transmission. It has been fully painted (Corvette yellow) from frame up including the interior and engine bay. It has full new interior with Ford explorer seats. all door pannell and custom roof piece done.
Tires are oversize from stock and rims are aftermarket. Has original style spare on drivers side of bed. Wood bed rails custom built and installed. The tail gate has been hand painted with wood effect. All glass in good condtion. The truck has a electric fan for cooling and a new Optima blue top for exellent starting. Cooling system has had radiator fully flushed and pressure tested and new thermostat. Also has new starter and new starter solenoid.
Fires right up on the first turn of the key. Doesnt smoke or anything funny. Front and rear bumpers are in pretty good shape. Over all the truck is pretty straight. If you look in the pictures you will see that the floor in the bed is not perfect and pitted but the actual panels and fenders all over are nice clean and straight.
This truck has the V-Grill. Cab is solid and floors are not rusted. I have the before pictures as well so you can see that it is not just thrown together with bondo and some cheap paint to hide a nightmare. Truck is drove at least once a week so its not just a show pice either. Nevada based truck sot thats a great thing because of our dry desert. This truck definately gets the looks and is only being sold because the owner has a willys wagon and shevy pickup that are taking more of the priority. So it needs to go to make room in the garage. Owner hates to see it go but figures its the smart thing to do. Title is clean and clear with current Nevada registration. Ready to sign it over to its new home.”
This looks great, though I think the flames on the ceiling could probably go.
“1960 Willys Wagon
This is an older restoration. Original drivetrrain was replaced with a small block Chevrolet V-8 and 2wd automatic transmission.
Owner started a power disc brake conversion, but was not completed.
This jeep runs, drives and is driven weekly.

http://wausau.craigslist.org/cto/3525525446.html
This looks like a solid M-38A1. It has some odd gauge behavior according to the seller.
“As I can tell, this is as close as possible to a 100% restoration of a military Jeep. I bought it about 6 years ago in this condition. The odometer had about 13,000 miles on it, but the speedometer cable was broke. I have since installed a new cable, and the odometer now shows 16,100 miles. This is a fun Jeep to drive and a head turner. I drive it in Veteran Day’s parades, and drive it to car shows within a 60 miles radius from where I live in Southeast Kansas.
It drives nicely for its age. I have recently installed a carburetor kit and points, condensor, and rotor. I have also installed new spark plugs and spark plug wires about two years ago. The oil pressure consisently shows over 40 PSI. Other instrument guages are erratic by working sometimes and not the other, even after I replaced the spider wire harness. Do not have the expert knowlrdge to troubleshoot this aspect.
The 24V generator works even though the guage does not show charge, and the water guage works that I had never had this Jeep over heat. The manual windshield wipers work, but again I could not troubleshoot the vacuum operation. I am explaining everything about this Jeep that cannot be seen in the accompanying pictures. The Jeep still has the 24V sealed system and all lights work properly icluding the instrument panel and blackout marker lights. Mechanically everything works properly and it starts right away even in cold weather.
I love to drive this Jeep whenever weather permits. It has always been garaged since I owned it. The body is very straight and solid and the person who restored it did so with the correct paint and markings. No visible rust seen anywhere except under the passenger seat whre some minor rust shows on a channel, but the rust contained and painted over. I cannot arrange for shipping since I live in a small community which is not exposed to adequate services. I am willing to deliver the Jeep on my trailer within 100 miles radius of Iola, Kansas.”

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(11/25/2012) The seller provides a variety of details on the rebuild.
“This Jeep has been carefully rebuilt from the ground up over 3 years by my father, a retired certified ASEA mechanic. Starting from a sandblasted frame, new-off-shelf (N.O.S) parts were used whenever possible. Every piece has been carefully rebuilt and reassembled – you won’t find a cleaner, or more authentic rebuild of a 1947 Willy’s. Lots of fun to take off-road, or cruise around town with the windshield down. See below for details on each component.”

“What you are looking at is an original 1952 Willys M38 (MC) military Jeep. This Jeep was used during the Korean war era. It was a Barn Find! I found this Jeep in a country barn back in the woods of Florence, MS. I am the second owner of this Jeep. The Jeep has been motor-pool restored and is in near perfect condition. It is all original with original 24 volt system. Correct lighting including blackout. 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. No bondo. All metal. Original bows and all. Fuel gauge is not operational and needs windshield wiper blades. Four wheel drive works as it should! It could use new tires. NDCC military non-directional tires can be bought from generation jeep’s web site for $80 a tire and the spare on the Jeep is ok. It currently has coop grip spurs on the original Willys rims. Clear title. It is a hop in and go original 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.”
UPDATE: This was on eBay. **SOLD**
“Selling a very restorable 51 Jeepster. This vehicle has been in storage for many years. The gas tank was removed before storage and is clean and dry. I did have this Jeep running off of a gas can and it runs well and holds good oil preasure and does not overheat. It does have an overdrive transmission. As you can see in the pictures it will need to be restored but is complete.
The floors on the driver’s front, right front, and right rear were repaired and welded in. I have removed the seats so you can see what the floor looks like through out the entire vehicle. The frame and the rest of the undercarriage are in good shape. It has been repainted but does not appear to have any rust bubbles or filler poping out. The right rear fender will need some work as it looks to have been bent and pulled back.
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was listed at $5000.
This looks in good shape.
