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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .
This looks like a good price. It does need some work. Anyone recognize the hubs? I can’t quite tell what they are.

There’s been some good work done on this jeep …. and then there are the bumpers.
“This is the first year of the “CJ” (Civilian Jeep) after WWII. This Willys Jeep has been fully restored and upgraded in several areas. The entire stock drive-train (flat-head 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, and axles) has been rebuilt and restored. The chassis, including all the steering gear and leaf springs has been refurbished. The body is new and rust free. The electrical system has been converted to 12 volts and all the wiring and switches, etc. are new. A modern package of 6 AutoMeter gauges is installed. Late model Jeep seats with seat belts are installed. A new Bestop convertible top is included. Five new 15 inch wheels wear new BFG 235/75 All-Terrain Radial T/A tires. The front and rear are guarded by custom built double tube bumpers with integral hitch receivers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Well, besides the fact that M-38s weren’t made in 1949, this doesn’t look anything like a M-38. Given what appears to be full floaters in the rear and no drain hole in the side, I’d guess this is more of a CJ-2A/MB hybrid.
“This is a nice m38 Willys jeep. I have the full top and also bikini top for it. I just had the starter rebuilt and relaxed the starter sylenoid. It runs and drives good and the 4 wheel drive works great. This is a original m38 and still has the floor bracket for a heavy machine gun mount. I also have a original set of Willys wheels with military tires and brand new tubes that go with it.”
I believe this is the first muffler I have ever seen installed in the engine compartment; the only problem is that it is installed on the intake side of things rather than the exhaust side.

Not 100% original, but looks very nice.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
If all in good shape, it might be a good price.
“For Sale 4-speed SM420 transmission with granny 7.04:1 first gear mated via Advanced Adapters (PN# 50-2401) to a Dana 18 transfer case with the large 1.25″ intermediate shaft. This is the ultimate set up for short wheel base Jeeps. I had this drive train in my Willys Jeep and it worked great. Comes complete with shifters, cross member mount, and output yokes. The tranny and T-case were rebuilt a few years back. I have since moved to a longer wheelbase jeep and switched this out for a Dana 300.”
