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 .

“I am selling my 1955 Willy M38A1, that I have restored myself, not by a professional restorer and registered in Nueces County for $9,500. The engine, however; was overhauled by a professional mechanic. The unit has new brake lines, fuel tank, seat cushions and various other items listed below. I am interested in selling it to someone that is interested in the continued preservation of this rare military vehicle. It is 59 years old, therefore it is not in perfect condition and will be sold as is. It is asked that only serious interested buyers contact me at show contact info or text me with your name and number at same. These military vehicles are hard to come by and even those that are non-running rust buckets sell for a premium. Those who are knowledgeable about these vehicles know that these are off road vehicles and not the smoothest riding vehicles or the quietest riding vehicles. Vehicle is being sold as is, where is, with no written warranties.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8800

“Rare 1955 Willys M38A1 Korean War Era “Jeep”
Straight rust free great running little Jeep with an Arctic Kit(hard top and doors)
This little jeep was in storage for a long time and was not running. With some work it is now purring like a kitten. It is complete and has been updated to a 12 volt system. It still has some of the cool old military lighting, gauges and switches. This would make an AWESOME candidate for restoration or to just put around the farm or mountains. It still needs some brake and clutch work. To be fully drive able.”
It’s supposed to have less than 10k original miles. Might be worth a look, but I’m skeptical.
“Very low miles. Very good condition. Garaged and auto repair shop owned
Lots of extras Tire chains, Soft Top, G.B., Towbar. GREAT FOR HUNTING!!!
Call for more info.”
