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 $1500.
Listed as a 1942 and a CJ-3A, the body and windshield appear to be M-38 or repro.
“CJ3A – Buick Oddfire v6 – 3 speed – dana 18 tcase – dana 27 front? – offset dana 41 or 44 rear axle – 35×12.50×15 pro comp mud terrians.
I have owned this jeep for a couple years now, my wife started off-roading the LJ we have and I have a RZR-S so this has just been sitting in the garage. it runs, drives, 4wd works.:
No pics of the 2nd M-38 just yet.
“I have a 1950 M38. Runs and drives but has a F head motor.Minor rust. It has a lot of its original parts like soft top bows, rear seat, shovel and axe ect. Also has new tires. Has a clear title.
The second M38 has no title. It has the correct running engine but a lot of rust. It has a good nose and seat frames and solid chassis.
I also have a reproduction metal tub.
I only have a picture if the 1950 right now but will post more pictures soon.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This has an odd front bumper, but otherwise looks solid.
“I have a 1953 Jeep Willy truck. No rust, storage keep. The jeeps been rebuild. New tires, new suspension, rebuilt engine.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(07/08/2013) This includes an overdrive. The hood is a fiberglass bobcat. Not sure how it is a 1956.
“Runs good, 4X4 works good. Buick 231 V6 with auto choke. The tranny has four stick shifts with over drive. It will do 65 on the freeway. Dual exhaust. Needs brake work ( needs new rear wheel brakes). I have already replaced most of the brake lines and the drums are 11in instead of 9in. It gets allot of looks and thumbs up. It does need some body work ( has bondo). The windshield is out of the first generation Willy’s military so it has a two piece windshield. I put a wiper motor on the driver side and the passenger side should be a manual wiper but I have not bought it yet. The willy’s is a M38/3A. I put seats and fuel tank out of a 1970 cj5. The top is a custom top.It has doors as well. There is not another one like it in the world. I have the speedometer but it needs a cable and calibrated.

(09/29/2012) This has some rust and could use some maintenance. It appears to have lots of good details.
“GREAT PROJECT. 4 WD. Converted to 12 volt. Body rust. Very good to excellent mechanical condition. Motor needs to be oiled and turned. It has been sitting for a while. Needs seats and windshield gasket.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
“***Beautifully Restored and Modified*** This ‘attention getter’ is ready to go to a new home. Everything works and is in pristine condition. Rebuilt Buick V6 Engine has about 600 miles. This is a 3 Speed T90 with a hydraulic clutch and Atlas Transfer Case. Jeep has Dana 44’s front and back and has new electrical wiring throughout. Jeep was like this when I bought it except for minor modifications to make it look and run better. It also comes with the complete vinyl top. Not in a hurry to sell, so no low balling and not looking for trades, only serious inquiries. I can answer any other questions you might have. Sorry cash only.”
No pics provided.
“I have a 1950 Willys m38 jeep. This is former Korean war era jeep, known to have the better stronger drivetrain of the flat fender jeeps. The body tub is very rusty & the engine is stuck, but it has a lot of useful parts. Would make a great mud bogger or farm jeep. clear title.”
The yellow CJ-3A looks like it has a very narrow set of Desert Dogs. Unclear if the yellow one runs (probably not).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This looks solid.
“This jeep has been in stored indoors for the better part of 30 years. It had a SBC 327 put in back in the 70s. I recently went thru it and replaced a good portion of parts. All new brakes, wheel cylinders and master cylinder with the drums machined. Had the fuel tank professionally cleaned and coated new fuel pickup, new fuel lines , pump and Holley carb. New seals and gaskets for the whole driveline. Regasketed the engine, new radiator, water pump and hoses. New tires and dodge ram wheels. It has the overdrive unit which allows for highway driving.”
The seller isn’t correct about the M-38 being the rarest production jeep. There were others.
“Willys M-38 combat Jeep..Rebuilt transmission,transfer case,and axles,new clutch, Engine rebuild by previous owner…….All new gauges…..Converted to 12 volt
Good tub and body except hole in passenger floor.
New seatbrackets and gas tank, OriginalSpare tire and gas can and brackets
Ive put 6,000 plus miles on it but it sat last three years. Carb is dirty but it will idle
Needs carb cleaned and new exhaust manifold and exhaust.
This is a Ordinance (Army) Jeep,Repainted by hand in Marine corp colors, The insignia on the front bumper is that of a marine glider squadron…..
The M-38 is the rarest of the production jeeps Having only made 30,000 total….specifically for Korea…….all other designs produced 200,000 +
The only proof of actual overseas service on a jeep is the paint job
When one unit transferred out…..the motor pool equipment stayed….
Then it was assigned to the next unit coming in…..
In this case Army left and marines took over thus the repaint. (563-571-6998)”
