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 .
This looks good.

“Restored 1951 M38 Willy’s Army Jeep – Ser. No. 24,675 MFG 9-51
The M38 only had a two year production run, during which time only 62,329 were built (compared with the nearly 650 thousand MB’s and GPW’s built during WWII). It has several unique characteristics with the WWII jeep. First with 24 volt electrical system,one piece windshield, tires sized 7×16 instead of the 6×16, and last and best of flat fender jeeps, last of the flat head 4 cylinder engines, and first jeep with true fording capabilities (sealed sparkplugs and distributer) when equipped with a snorkel and tail pipe extension and of course the removable tailgate.
Though restored, this has been changed to a 12 volt system and does not have the sealed(waterproof)plugs. So here is an M38 that no only looks good, but is road ready.
The trailer is restored and used in the Memorial Day Parade. SOLD AS A PAIR ONLY
Located in Weatherford, Texas”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
This looks good.
“i have owned this jeep for the past 16 yrs. but it’s time to let it go. jeep has 50 cal machine gun winter top windshield cover pioneer kit. also included is a 14′ trailer that i had made to transport the jeep.”
The engine was installed, but hasn’t been started.
” This is my pride and joy for the past couple of years and now am ready to let someone else finish and enjoy. Its a older replacement m38 md Juan tub on a 1962 jeep cj frame and springs. The tub is in good shape with absolutely no rust. It is bare metal throughout and needs paint and possibly some body work depending on what you want to end up. There is a large dent in the cowl but I have a tub with a good section for this repair. The windshield frame is rust free but the tube arms have been removed and flat steel welded in. Its functional but not stock. I have a new windshield gasket and locking strip but no glass. It has newer lift springs with new shackles and bushings. There are fabricated u bolt skid plates installed. The frame has been blasted and powder coated an orange color/light red. It has also been strapped top and bottom and on the sides. This is as bullet proof as a stock frame gets. I installed a rear tank with a new fill hose. It has a disc brake dana 30 front end out of an 1983 jeep cj5. The rear is a 19 spline dana 44 that has had all new bearings and seals. The tires are 33×12.50×15 that are roughly half and the wheels are brand new 15×8 black cragars. The transmission is a t90 and the transfer case is a dana 18 twin stick both of which I rebuilt myself. The seats are out of a newer honda and in decent shape with minor wear on the back. I installed hanging pedals and a tilt column as well. I had the column totally gone through so no slop and it operates like it should. The master cylinder, clutch master and the clutch slave are all brand new. The front calipers and pads are new. It has all new brake lines run and functioning. The engine is a 140 3.0 mercruiser that has been totally rebuilt and never fired. I added power steering and a hei distributor. The carburetor is brand new as well. I have a receipt from the shop that tore the engine down and inspected everything before I installed it.”
