About eWillys
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.
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 is a good price for how nice this jeep is. Thanks to Tom for sharing it. As of this writing the sale is pending. It has a problem continuing to run. There could be something in the gas tank (maybe some customer dropped something into the gas tank).
“Korean War 1952 Willys M38. Starts easy. Doesnt stay running, stalls. Maybe bad fuel pump. Vehicle is located inside retail store so its difficult to work on it without fuming up the whole place. All 24v components in place. Correct carb, fuel pump, distributor, voltage regulator, generator. Vehicle is clean, no mud, oil, grime underneath or on engine or transmission. Body is original, decent shape – a little beat up. Floor in back has rust holes, but is pretty solid. 30 cal is a replica made by Hoosier Hot Shot https://www.hoosierhotshot.com/ and is not included. Mount is negotiable. Indiana title numbers matching in my name is included. Vehicle will have to be disassambled to move from the retail store when a serious buyer is found. All the bolts holding it together are new and have never been in the weather. We should be able to do it in a day or so. We will do the dissassembly and reassembly. Buyer can help if they want.”
Phill’s selling this nice looking M-38. You can contact him via the FB link or through his email Drpboston @ hotmail.com (remove spaces from around the @ sign)

“Up for sale is a M38 Willys military Jeep. It is a good restoration prospect! It has not run in 10+ years and will need engine, transmission, and other drive train work to get it back on the road.
A lot of the critical parts you will need are still on the Jeep. The body and fenders are very straight. Hood includes the snorkel hole plate. Only known filler is the passenger side rear corner. It will need a new floor to restore. It has all of the major electrical parts (starter, regulator, and generator). Other parts present include floor plates, correct seat frames, new glass and gasket 5 years ago, proper original and correct M38 oil bath air cleaner, crossover pipe, front shackle brackets, etc. It has 4 of the original and correct wheels. Very old tires (including Mohawk Chief and U.S. Royal) need to be replaced, although current tires do hold air.
The vehicle has no title. Dash board data plate is missing. Original MC-????? Original data plate on the passenger side wheel well shows MC-xxxx7. Can make out the MC, but not all of the numbers.These were built from 1949-1952. Guessing it is a 1952.
Included in the sale is another M38 engine and transmission (last 3 pictures). Treat as a core.
Let me know should you need to see any additional photos.
The $2500 price is FIRM…..do not ask!
Local pickup in Freeport, TX. It will need to be trailered.
Payment is cash upon pick up.
No title..”
