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 $8550
(08/21/2013) It’s missing the parking brake, but otherwise looks solid.
“1951 m38 jeep-runs great and street legal. Converted to 12V, with alternator. Come drive it and make your own evaluation. Title and serial numbers match and shows MC 31136. Futher restoration would make this a true classic.”
This is a mix of parts.
“I have a willys that was started to be restored a number of years ago and never finished. The frame was painted, new shocks, new brake shoes, wheel cylinders, spring kits, rubber brake lines. Has a military 1952 tub, hood, and grill with the flip head lights from a earlier Ford GPW. I have new windshield rubber and seal, new mirrors, and a few other new parts. There are some extra parts that go with it, front axel shafts, starters, brackets, extra tail gate, and more. It is missing some parts, gauges, tail lights and others. The flat head 4 cyl engine is tight and only good for a core. Radiator and drive shafts are sitting in the jeep. I also have an extra transmission and case with a PTO on it that will go with it. This jeep is in need of lots of work but has a nice body that needs very little work. I have a 46 title with it that was signed so you will also need to fill out a form with the title to transfer it to your name, have had to do a couple like this, not a big deal.
$1400, email or text 7one58five34868
Would trade for good name brand tire changer or 2 bay tool box, Matco or Snapon”

Ive got lots of extras lying around; soft top, spare axles, brake parts (including disc brake conversion for front), grill, drive shafts, back seat, etc. I have put more than $6000 in this jeep in the last three years with its most recent rebuild. My local jeep mechanic that’s known of the vehicle since its original rebuild 28 years ago says that its worth all of $5000, if not more. motivated to sell and let it go to the next fun seaking off roader.”
This has been partially disassembled.
“I have a M38 Willys Jeep that I have started to restore so it is partially disassembled. The engine and transmission is almost ready to come out to be rebuilt. The attached photos are of BEFORE restoration was started. This is not a running jeep. If you are looking for a project, this is a good one. I am not desperate to sale and will not give it away. M38’s are some of the most rare jeeps ever built. I just don’t have time right now to finish the project. If you are interested text or call me at 901-four eight two-3053. I don’t need help selling and if its still listed its still for sale. might consider trades. come look at it and make an offer”

“1952 Willys M38, military version of the CJ3A. The Willys does not have an engine or transmission/transfer case in it. I do have the transfer case. It has stock axels at each end. Dana 44 offset rear and Dana 25 front. The spider gears are welded on the front axle. Have a spare rear Dana 44 that’s locked. It has Selectro hubs. It’s been re-wired with a Painless wiring harness. It’s got a Mile Marker 12000 pound hydraulic winch mounted on it. It has power steering and disc brakes up front. Although I believe it needs a new master cylinder. It’s been lifted 2.5 inches and has 33×10.5×15 super swampers on 15×10 black steel wheels. I have a soft top and doors for it that I believe were new when I bought the Willys years ago. I never put them on, can’t find the bows. Solid body and tub. The Willys has been outside and needs new seats and cleaned up. I do have an assortment of other parts that can be negotiated for (small bock chevy 350, 4.3 vortec, v6 headers, truck 4-spd, advance adapter, full width axles). If you want more pics I can email or text them.
$1250 obo. Possible trade or part trade for older motorcycle, Monte Carlo, el camino, things that go bang, I have enough for hunting would like something fun or to carry.”
