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 $1200.
This might be a M-38 on a MB Chassis. It runs, too.

“Reluctantly selling my 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. This jeep is almost entirely original, so it is a steal at this price, well below NADA. You will see fully restored jeeps for $15,000 or more. This jeep is well on its way, but much more affordable. This jeep runs great, 4X4 is operational, will climb anything and go anywhere. Great for four wheeling, hunting, or just cruising around town. It has the famous 3 speed, flat four engine. Many parts of this jeep have been restored to original condition, including new seat covers (original canvas style), new headlights and blackout lights, new tires, new windshield/gasket, and much more. Garage kept.”

Here’s a very nice M-38.
“In the mid nineties I did a complete body off frame restoration of this M38 over a period of 4 years spending hundreds of hours. Every part was sandblasted and refurbished with NOS and new parts used where needed to restore to original.Included is a full winter enclosure with doors and side curtains.Also included are copies of the TM9-1804A, TM9-8012, ORD 9 SNL G-8012 and an original copy of TM9-1804B dated 1952, also original jack, handle, lug wrench and canvas pouch. The engine was rebuild with new rod and main bearings, valves reground, new pistons and rings, all new gaskets and seals. The transmission and transfer case were disassembled and necessary parts replaced and new seals and gaskets. Same goes for front and rear axels and drive shafts. New brake cylinders, lines, mastercylinder and shoes were installed.
NOS (new old stock) parts are as follows: radiator, air filter and precleaner, tail gate, driver and passenger seat frames, front floor panel, spare tire rack gas can holder, top bow and brackets, 24 volt recep, underhood battery box, tool box door, seat springs, vacumn wipers, vehicle data plates, cold weather primer, muffler and tail pipe, waterproof light switches, shackles on front and rear bumpers and other small items.
A complete new waterproof wiring harness using original douglas connectors was added. two new 12 volt batteries have just been bought. All of the waterproof vent system was replaced
The old gas tank was replaced with a new repro and sealed on the inside.
Some of the features are: 24 volt electrical system with one 12v battery under the hood and another mounted in the cowl area. The distributor, spark plugs, starter, generator, horn, all electrical are waterproof along with the engine and drive train. The blackout light on the fender and all blackout lights are functional, new windshield glass and weatherstripping added, new welting added between body parts, new shocks front and rear.
Every effort was made to restore as original as possible. Since restoration I have only put about 20 miles on it mostly trailering to car shows. In 1996 It won the peoples choice award at the Ga MVPA rally in Helen, Ga. It has always been garaged. I have the original Tenn clear title dated 1980. Ga does not require a title on avehicle this age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.

The body looks rough, but the gearing running gear sound like a good combination.

This looks in good shape, but there has likely been some work done along the bottom of the passenger side.

Not totally original, but not bad either. The jeep was appraised at $17k? The seller needs to ask for his money back on that appraisal.
“You can see this rig close up at the U Park located at the corner of Badger & Old Rich by Forbes Storage Complex and Gloy’s Thai Food To Go
.
Excellent Original Condition. Runs excellent, under 500 miles on newly rebuilt original flathead 4 motor, comes complete with Snow Plow, Matching Willy’s Trailer, and a truckload of spare parts including Spare Tires, Chains.tool box, gerri cans, ball winch, soft top, hard top, start up accessories, and a whole buch more.
The Jeep alone has been appraised at 17K, not counting all the extras. A real 49er deal if ever there was one! Limited time to buy this complete set up! A perfect opportunity for a restorer or any enthusiast!
Will trade for Gold , Silver , Cash, or a combination of the three.
For more info call 907 347 4135 before 9 pm, and please, no texts or e mails (they will be ignored as spam). Just call the phone number if interested”
