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 m38 willy’s 4×4 with arctic hard top from the factory. Running and Driving. It was converted to 12 volt and has a Buick 225 v6 engine.

Pics from a 2012 Craigslist ad:

Has a couple updated, but looks solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
Both look interesting. You don’t find many M-38s with heaters on the cowl.
“1952 M 38 FLAT FENDER WITH RARE ARTIC CAB AND HEATER, THE JEEP STILL HAS IT’S 24 VOLT ELECTRICAL SYSTEM AND ORIGINAL MOTOR AND DOES RUN, NEEDS RESTORED HARD TO FIND, LOCATED CHADRON NE CALL FOUR THREE ZERO TWENTY SIXTY AREA CODE 308 ALSO HAVE A 71 COMAMANDO RUNS WELL DUANTLESS V 6 WIFE WANTS HER CAR IN THE GARAGE…………MAKE U A DEAL ON BOTH 8 GRAND FOR THE PAIR……”
It may be an M-38, but the body is a replacement body.
“1951 willys 80% complete
New steel body , solid frame

http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/5097147361.html
It hasn’t run in a couple decades.
“For sale or interesting trades, needs restored is pretty much all there,24 volt,have some old doors, tires etc. jeep was last runin 1996. I do not know condition at this time., photos if interested.”
http://tricities.craigslist.org/cto/5097036187.html

“1952 jeep willys m38. Ford 289 v-8 engine. It does run and is drive able. Have had this in storage for about 20 years. Just installed new gas tank and sending unit, new fuel pump and brake cylinders. Body and frame in good condition. $5500 obo”

Looks ready for the road, but it is also a good example of how the investment of time and money doesn’t always equal the market value.
“I had this jeep completely restored and absolutely love it. Unfortunately, I need to sell to get a work truck. I would consider trading for a 4×4 diesel or gas crew cab flatbed dually; or just a good newer 2500 4×4.
Please do not waste my time with random offers and just plan junk. I have 33k invested in this jeep with supporting documentation.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Includes some combat rims, so there could be some value here.
“Life gets in the way, I would love to restore this old girl but I just don’t have the time. I’ve spent a lot of time taking everything apart and starting to clean things up for a full ground up restoration but my time is needed elsewhere and I would like this to go to someone who will take care of her. There is only one cancer spot on the body tub and it’s under the passenger seat in the compartment and it’s not very big, should be a simple fix. I have a bunch of other parts with this as well. A few combat rims,CJ2A parts like a frame, fenders, trans/transfer case, axles. This is a project so you will need a trailer to get her home, I will help with what I can, but the frame is hard to move.”
