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 $2500.
This looks good for the price.

Moving and need to sell. $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/12/2012) This looks like a good restoration candidate. It also has the early fold down grille like the M-38s.

UPDATE: Was $12,500. **SOLD**
(08/24/2012) This looks well maintained.
“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!
I’ve been putting the final touches on cleaning up this Jeep, which the pictures will demonstrate is in great condition.
I purchased the vehicle from a family in Waukesha, Wisconsin that used it for a family drives. Vehicle was owned by a collector in Minnesota prior to that, and by another in Wisconsin before him. Purchaser will get all information I have on the vehicle, but I’m only as far back as 1992.
The Jeep comes with the axe, shovel, radio and power supply, 1” manilla bumper rope, canvas, seat belts, and ORIGINAL 1952 M38A1 Operator’s Manual, as would have been with the vehicle in a military motor pool. Vehicle is still the original 24volt electric system.
I hope that someone else can enjoy this vehicle as much as I do. I highly recommend getting one (like this) that is already restored, because if you try to buy one of these 5-9k ones, you will end up putting a ton of money into it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This might have some good restoration potential.
“I am selling a 1956 Willys US Military Jeep. I am asking $3500. This Jeep has been converted from a generator to a 12 volt alternator. It has also been converted to electronic ignition. Last duty station was Marine Corp base 29 Palms in California.”
This turns over, but isn’t firing. If it can run, there might be value here.
“I have a 53 millitary wills jeep I am asking 1100. Its not getting fire I have the stuff to fix it but I am tired of messing with it. I also have another motor that runs with all the parts for 400. If interested call or text 254 223 1817. No emails. Obo. Will trade for equal value.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Last listed at $4200.
(08/28/2012) The seller doesn’t seem to know whether this was a real Fire Truck or not, but probably wouldn’t be hard to verify.
“I think it belonged to the fire dept. from 1975 untill 2006 then it was sold to a privet owner 2006 untill 2012 This jeep runs good but the motor has a pecking noise the jeep comes with a spare replacement motor this jeep is very solid one small rust spot on drivers side front fender.”
Buz spotted this one.

“Here is a classic piece of military history. This 62 Willy’s M38A1 will really turn heads.

The only thing I can see that it needs is a headlight dimmer switch”

The paint on this one is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks complete enough from the front that it might be a decent candidate for a restoration.
