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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
The passenger fender needs some paint and this might tilt to the driver’s side, but otherwise this looks solid.
“1954 M38A1 Jeep Willy’s, titled, road legal, runs,very clean great shape, minor dents. Fully stock jeep. Many extras.”
This is a good looking M-38A1.

This doesn’t run, but the body appears to have potential.
“M38A1 Willy’s Jeep, project vehicle, has no title, has good vin with bill of sale. Body is in restorable condition, has a few dings and dents and a little rust in the floor, overall pretty solid. Currently it is not running, it is missing the gauge cluster and drive shafts. Has good tires and tow bar, it flat tows nice and would make someone a great project jeep. Located in Witts Springs, AR.”

This is supposed to have an original welding unit. This is rare enough that the M38A1 site doesn’t have a picture of one. There was supposed to be one at the Ponderosa Ranch.
“M38A1 Willys welding variant used during korean war. Frame off, lots of parts. 95% complete, come get the only one known to exist in the USA. No looky loos. Call or contact for more pictures. (206) 713-7799 – Richard”

Eric spotted this unusually modified M-38A1 that used to be a mess. It’s a different kind of slat grille. It might be a fun ride?
“This is not a restored original. See pictures
The only salvageable parts were the chassis, the motor, (rebuilt), the steering wheel, rear ends, transmission, and speedometer.
It is registered as an antique vehicle, and is in good running condition. The mileometer reads 56,349 miles, but I cannot vouch for the accuracy. Approximately 2,000 miles have been put on since the motor was rebuilt.
The motor is an L-head Overland motor.
This is a “one of a kind” vehicle, which you must see to appreciate!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay

John spotted this one. The seller notes this jeep was hit by a projectile. Maybe there is more information on the backside of photo? It certainly got hit with something.

This appears to be a good price. Looks solid. The fenders appear to be later model ones, given the divot for the side light.
