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 .

“Good body, all new brakes.Original equipment, 24 volts. Runs great. Titled. Free delivery within 100 miles of Plymouth, MA, otherwise buyer responsible for pick-up or shipping.”
The seller has some thorough pictures of this jeep.
“Up for auction is a 1951 unrestored, all original, M38 Willys Army Jeep. I have had this M38 for about 9 years. I bought it from a collector in Southern California. Since I got the Jeep it has been stored in my garage. Initially I drove it around town and it ran great. Then I decided to repaint it and let it sit too long without driving it and the leather parts in the carburetor dried out so it would only idle. Then I decided to replace the fuel tank and never had time to finish the project. I am self-employed so free time is hard to find.
This is a nice Jeep but it would benefit from a full restoration. There is some rust at the Hat Channels below the Jeep. That is all I could ever find. It does look like the driver side and passenger side floors were replaced. They are not rusted but they don’t look original to me. I did repalce the front brake cylinders, brake shoes and the Master Cylinder. The tires and tubes were purchsed new about 3 1/2 years ago. They have never been driven on. The Jeep has been stored on jack stands so the Jeep hasn’t been sitting on them either, except for when I took these pictures. I bought new seats years ago but never installed them. it has a full soft top and all of the rods and supports. I think there was a tear in the top along one of the sides. It has the soft doors as well.
The fuel tank is new, as is the sending unit, fuel cap, fuel filler neck and any other fuel tank related parts. The front hubs were rebuilt. I also have an antenna bracket and antenna set which was never installed. The Jeep is 12 volt. I also have all of the available DOD manuals, as well as a few other after market manual and the Military Jeep Restoration DVD video set.”
“This Jeep and trailer were professionally restored by Bruce Uher with Willys Jeep Restoration. For complete history on this vehicle go to displayjeeps.com and select misc pictures and M38 for El Paso Tx, VFW Post pictures. You will not find a better jeep than this one. I have added a brand new top, new heavy duty starter and back packs for the back of the seats. The jeep had a complete tune up and everything was checked within the last 6 months.”
“1951 M38 Willys JEEP (flat fenders), body off restoration, engine professionally rebuilt, numbers match, all new rubbers, seals and markings, lots of extras, total mileage: 35,200 miles (approx 200 miles since restoration). Only used for shows and parades.”
This is missing a few M-38 related items, but might be a solid jeep.
“Vehicle is in good shape, runs well. Excellent condition for restoration project or just use as is. The seat frames were stollen, so new owner would have to buy new frames or adapt newer seats. Engine was rebuilt a few years ago, so there are very few miles on it. New brakes and cylinders. It has the original carb. I am trying to get more pictures on, but having much success. Will attach pictures to email on request.”
This appears to be a M-38 with bow holders on the side and bow holders at the rear corners. Very odd.
“I have for sale a 1947 Willys military model Jeep. It was used in the Navy. It is all original except for the motor. The motor is a Dauntless 225 v6. It runs great. I also have the doors for the to and three extra tires to go with the Jeep.”
“1952 MB Willy’s Jeep for 18,000.00 Restored 8 years ago, approximately 100 miles since restored time, has all amphibious accessories for water crossing, Military radio, nice clean jeep, rust free. Please call for further question.”
The seller claims this an unmolested CJ-3A. More accurately, it’s a M-38 that’s just slightly molested.
“WOW !!! Here is a hard to find unmolested all original 1951 Jeep CJ3A with only 12,396 miles on the odometer. The original soft top and doors will also come with the sale of this vehicle. This jeep runs and drives good but will need a brake master cylinder as it has gone bad while in storage. Come out take a look drive it around the yard and see what you think. I really think its worth your drive and time and doubt you will be disappointed. Asking 16K may consider serious cash offer made here in person. Tire kickers please don’t waste my time, serious buyers only as these original jeeps don’t come around for sale very often. call or text 4 zero 2 seven20-03one 0”

“I am listing this 1951 Willys M38 Jeep for my uncle. He has owned it over 25 years. It is in running condition as he drives it during fair weather.
It has a solid frame and body. It has not been significantly modified and still has its original character. It has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system. A recent restoration of the gas tank was completed to fix leaks and corrosion. The actual mileage is unknown. Included with the jeep is an operation/maintenance manual and a variety of extra parts including a rear seat frame.
Please view all the pictures as they show far more than I can describe.
