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 $4250..
“Nice old Jeep, powered by a 1959 Chevy 283 V8, hubs, worn overdrive and two gas tanks. Comes with three new tires and three sets of rims. This old guy runs very good, has new brakes and master cylinder has hydraulic clutch that has been rebuilt, slave cylinder is new. Needs a little body work and some paint. Good Washington title.”
Max forwarded this M-38 that is for sale in Germany. If you need anything translated, Max said he’d be glad to help.

(09/11/2013) This is rough, but appears to have some history.
“1952 Willys M38 Military Jeep project. Korean War era. Appears to have been re-purposed for the Air National Guard. Blue paint and numbers and lettering over the original olive drab. Rusty but fairly straight. Motor appears to be frozen. Has many of the original parts. Number tags. Blackout lights. Clean registration. I was going to sell it once before but then decided to restore it, but have changed my mind again. Could be restored back to Military or done as Air National Guard. It is a pretty cool old Jeep..”
Seller just acquired in a trade. I think he’s going to be dropping the price if he wants it to go quick.
