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 $1900.
Given the warn overdrive, there is some value.
“This is a true military Jeep. I bought this solely for the purpose of the soft top bows for my resto project. This is what a trail rig, mud bogger, or hunting vehicle would have looked like from this early era of 4×4’s. There are some sought-after parts on it:
-Warn overdrive
-lockout hubs
-working electric windshield wiper
-pintle hook & bumperettes
-side steps
-wide off-road tires
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
No title or data plates.
“I’ve got a early 50’s Willys M38 I’d like to sell. Trying to clear some room for more jeeps hah, and this one deserves a good home. Only made from 50-52 for the military with less than 45,000 ever made. Tool indents are there and that area is in good shape. It’s essentially a CJ-3A with tool indents made for the military. The tub and frame are in good shape for the most part. Has rust but very restorable or just get going like it is. Pervious owner just used on the farm. Was last driven a couple years ago, it will need to be gone through. Hood has a ridiculous scoop on it where someone at some point in this jeeps life had swapped a later model F head motor in it. But does have the L head in it now. Tires old air. Everything is there except for the windshield and seats. There are some kind of seats in there now not sure what they came from. No data plates or title. Just a bill of sale. A cool jeep that needs some love. I was going to keep it but I have another and I need space. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(05/16/2015) The grille and frame appear to be M-38, but the body and windshield aren’t.
“For sale is an M38 Jeep. I hate to part with it, but I can’t give it the attention and care it deserves with a new kid and an upcoming move. I’ve owned the Jeep for just under two years, and during that time I’ve spent a lot of time refurbishing the electrical system, oil pressure lines, and hand brake. Additionally, I’ve purchased new gauges, NOS tail lights, master light control switch, seat belts, and more… The motor is an aftermarket L-134 that runs GREAT! The Jeep has a clear title and is ready for a quick and easy sale. If you’re an American, have a passion for Jeeps and their history, and want a great M38… then this the perfect summer purchase for you!”
UPDATE: Was $13,000. **Status Unknown**
(05/21/2015) Looks nice.
“jeep runs and looks great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
This is probably a mixture of M-38 and CJ parts.
