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 .

“1955 M38 A-1 Military jeep, 4 Cylinder, heavy canvas top and light weight summer top, turn out hubs on front wheels to go 4-wheel drive, green. Great for messing around off road or around town. Authentic military grade vehicle.”
“US Navy issue shore patrol jeep from LST 742 USS Dunn County
Frame off restoration in 2012 to like new condition. 18,000 original miles
Original hurricane engine completely rebuilt by Jasper engines
Runs and drives like new; new clutch; new tires and new top
All driveline components completely operational. No shakes and no shimmys
4 wheel drive works perfectly; brakes work perfectly and steering is tight.”
“Selling an October 1953 M38A1 in solid condition / excellent restoration possibilities. 24-volts, comes with new batteries, new gaskets, hoses, and a bunch of parts, although most of those parts were the original ones that were taken off when newer ones were installed. There are a couple small spots on the passenger side that have old repairs that could use a skim of filler to refresh them (see photo below, beneath the battery compartment and just below slave receptacle dish), but sheet metal is in great condition and no panels need replacement or major repairs. The serial number is right at the change-over from Gen 1 to Gen 2. This jeep has the hinged grill and thumb screw battery cover so it’s one of the last of the first-generation M38A1s. Awesome Korean War / Vietnam piece of military history.”
“All Original numbers matching Willys Jeep. “F” head engine fording system. 24v system that has just been replaced to keep it period correct. This Jeep is a true find. Zero rust. I just completed a restoration of it. All systems have been gone through and all the records to prove it. It runs perfectly. I included some pictures to show restoration. This Jeep was found in Phoenix in 2000.
Recent work includes:
New wiring harness
Installed electric fuel pump to avoid vapor lock
New factory exhaust system
Full paint, including stencils
No detail was overlooked
Two new batteries
This thing is ready for a parade or just drive around with a smile and have people give you a thumbs up.
I’m ready for my next project.
Priced to sell. make an offer.”
