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 .
Maverick?

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $12,000.

“For Sale: 1952 M38 that appears to have come right from the battlefields of the Korean War! Other than a few minor changes made by original owner (e.g. overdrive, lap belts, and blinkers added in 1960s), this warehouse discovery is as good as it gets. (Additional pictures will be posted throughout the week of September 12, 2016)
After 64 years this Willys has its original military markings, original canvas top, and original front and back seat. Purchase this time capsule today and drive it away. Yes, this gem runs!
Original Fuel pump has been rebuilt and brand new break lines, pads, and hoses have also been installed. The original 24v system is still enacted and working; two new batteries added.
Military Serial Number: 20941378

“Restored (80% ) 1955 Willys M-170 Front-line Ambulance
Asking $12,000 but will talk price, This is a rarity , I know of about 20 that have been restored. This is a great project vehicle and at this moment it is a luxury, I would like to see it go to someone willing to make it 100%”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Glenn spotted this one. Andy’s got this nice looking column shift for sale.
“NICE AND very RARE, 46′ cj-2a column shift Willys jeep serial #293xx. Nice overall condition, has been in barn storage for over 20 years.
What makes this unit more desirable is the fact that it is FACTORY built on a MB military chassis. Only a few hundred were built this way starting around serial number #29000.
Documented by a well known jeep expert, this is one of the batch of those hybrid jeeps. It is surmised that there was either a shortage of cj chassis or a bunch of leftover Military frames that needed to be used up…..not more then a handful surviving.!
Whatever the reason, this is not a homemade conversion….there are about 22 modifications done to the MB frame to make it useable for the cj2a. All brackets and mounts are custom made and factory installed. Even the machine gun mount was trimmed to fit the body.
Mostly all original with Minor civilian mods. 6v, Original chain drive engine, t90 side shift transmission.
Very rare full pto unit with drum pulley, original to the jeep. Has new bearings..
Data tags and frame tag are exceptionally nice and undamaged.
Clear title.
Has rust thru in the toolbox and some hat channels. Not a rust bucket by any means. Not all dented up.
Will need full restoration to bring it back to former glory. Had a quick cosmetic makeover done…
Don’t miss out on this super RARE column shift cj2a….not something you see everyday. It deserves a museum quality restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,900.
Looks nice.

I kept the original frame, running gear, wheels, grille, bumper, windshield frame, fenders, seat frames, tailgate, spare tire mount, dash panel and gauges, steering wheel and column and all original I.D. tags.
New: clutch assembly, most seals and bushings, brake shoes, brake lines, master and wheel cylinders, wiring harness, radiator, seats, top, tires and tubes, exhaust system and starter. ”

ABOUT JEEP: 1951 Jeep Willys M38 Tactical Truck 1/4 Ton. The Willys M38 United States Army Jeep, also known as the Willys MC, replaced the World War II Willys MB and Ford GPW models. It was a 1/4 ton 4 × 4 utility truck manufactured between 1949 and 1952 with a total production of more than 60,000 units. The M38 was military version of the then-current civilian Jeep CJ-3A. The M38 differed from the CJ-3A in numerous ways, including a reinforced frame and suspension, waterproof 24-volt electrical system, sealed vent system for the engine, transmission, transfer case, fuel system and brake system. Some M38 jeeps were assigned to the Korean theater of operations, but the majority of vehicles used in that conflict were rebuilt WWII vintage. Approximately 2,300 M38 Jeeps were manufactured by Ford of Canada for Canadian Armed Forces in 1952, designated as the M38-CDN jeep. Its successor was Willys M38A1.

“Just testing the waters. 1950 Willys Jeepster 2wd convertible. 1 of approx 5000 built that model year. Unrestored, mostly original. Been in the family since 1952. Suffered storm damage to the hood rear fender and top from falling branches and rain about 20 yrs ago and has been in storage since. Serious restorers only. No trades”
http://portland.craigslist.org/wsc/cto/5749905314.html
Looks like a good price. Includes an overdrive.
“For sale: 1955 M38A1 Jeep. I started on this jeep with plans for a full restoration but found a flat fender that has pulled my attention and resources away so this one needs to find a new home. The Jeep has been converted to 12v and comes equipped with new locking hubs and has a vintage warn overdrive installed. It and runs and drives well with many new parts already installed including;
-Front and rear seat canvas and cushions
-Canvas top
-Steering Wheel
-Wheel cylinders, master cylinder, and brake shoes
-Soft brake lines
-Rebuilt original fuel/vacuum pump
-Rebuilt original carburetor
-Outer wheel seals
-All pinion and output seals
-NDCC tires and tubes
This machine has it’s share of dings and dents and would make a great trail/parade vehicle as it sits but I’m also including two more parts jeeps and several crates of parts to help facilitate a complete restoration if desired. I’m hoping to get out of M series jeeps so buyer will get everything I have for one price. There are enough parts included to finish the jeep and probably have a really good table at the swap meet for the next couple of years. I’m looking to get $6500 or best offer for the whole package. I have a clear title for the jeep and it’s currently registered with a vintage plate in Washington State. ”
