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 .

“1952 Willys M38A1 military Jeep with 54,000 miles. All new canvas seats and top, Great piece of history, not a Jeep made to look like a military, the real deal. You wont find a nicer one. Great for parades or just drive around and get noticed.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
This looks like a great price for a solid, non stock M-38A1.
“One of the last batch of M381s made for the Marine Corps in the mid 60s (manufactured 10/63). Nice straight body with a few extra holes but otherwise pretty much original. There is some rust in the foot wells as usual but the rest is rust free and original. Runs and drives very well. Cute little Ford 2.8L V6 engine (few hundred miles on a new long block) nicely installed but the rest of the drive train is original. Original limited-slip rear end. Steering & seats are not original but all can be reasonably reversed if you are so inclined. In the meantime it runs great and looks good. A great parade vehicle or for having fun on trails, sand dunes, etc. More powerful and more comfortable than a totally original jeep is a plus.
Koenig winch, drive shaft, and PTO (tranny was rebuilt recently and PTO is not yet installed). Roll bar and new belts are included. Tow bar included (she tows like a dream).
Clean Oregon title, Special Interest plate.
Priced to reflect the non-original condition. Only $3200 for a nice looking and great running historical military Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Lots of work done underneath.
“The vehicle is untitled. Data Plate info: U.S. Ordinance Department #20631, dated Sept. 1952. The Body is original with all the dents & dings remaining. The Body & Frame were disassembled, sandblasted and reassembled. The Body is in primer & the frame painted. Approximately 85% of rust has been repaired. The gas tank well and tool box have been replaced. Many new parts: Brake, Fuel & Fording lines; Spring Shackles, U-joints, Data Plates & Back Seat. The Engine, Carburetor, Transmission & Transfer Case have been rebuilt. Many Electrical parts repaired or replaced: Wiring Harness, Generator, Distributor & Lights. Still more work to be done to complete the project. Such as: Radiator & Shroud; Windshield Glass & Seal; Front Seat Padding & Covers; Gas Tank; Battery Cables, Exhaust System & Finish Paint. Many additional spare parts included. The vehicle has been reassembled for photo purposes and ready for transport to a new home. Buyer is responsible for all shipping cost & details.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
This sure looks like a good price.
“1952 US Army M38A1 Willys Jeep
A running, driving 1952 M38A1 Jeep. It has been restored, but it is an older restoration. It has been a fun around town driver for me for the last year and a half. It is not perfect, but it is a complete, original (as in all the parts are there) jeep. Has a rarer depot rebuilt engine. Leave as, tinker with on the weekends, or do a complete tear down. Still has the 24v electrical system. All fluids changed when I bought it. Tires have age cracking. Have a new set of rubber brake lines.”
Mark just posted this over at warjeeps.com.
“This rare seat came out of a 1952 M38A1 and it will also work in an M38 Military Jeep as well. It has the original canvas bottom seat but is missing the back cushion. The bottom seat canvas cushion is in good condition for being 61 years old and C Frame is in good condition as well. I am asking $350.00 …a fair price.”
