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 .

“1952 M38 Willys Army Jeep for sale. My father bought it from a man who brought it home from the Army. Was used at our vacation cabin for many years. When the cabin sold we brought it home and started to restore it. The hood, chassis, body, fenders, tail gate, seat frames, windshield, and grill were restored by a body shop but the project never got finished! It has been in the garage in pieces and boxes for years as you can see in the pictures. Not everything is pictured because of the twelve picture limit. It is time to sell this project to someone who has the desire and ability to finish the restoration. I chose not to photograph the contents of every box but be assured the Jeep was running when it was taken apart for restoration. We bought new tires, new gas tank (hard to find at the time and probably even harder now), and new brake parts. Probably some other new parts that I can’t remember now were also purchased when we preparing to restore. Please note we want to sell this as a single lot. Please do not ask about parting this out.
I have listed this for my father who is the person selling. His phone number is 614 882-5952. More pictures are available if interested. You can respond via email for more pictures but for other details and questions please phone.”

This was for sale back in Sept 2008. The description is better this time and the price is less. Seller may be different.
“M38 Willys Jeep is the rare and desirable military version of the CJ3A with the same one piece windshield and distinctive headlights. It also has a stronger boxed frame than the CJ3A. Original California vehicle.
This Jeep is in nice running condition with the original 4 cylinder L-134 engine. Electrical was converted to 12v (including starter and alternator). It’s turn-key and never fails to start. Has good oil pressure and compression. Full Stewart Warner gauges. Original heavy duty radiator was disassembled and cleaned and is in great shape. Civilian fuel tank is in good shape, no rust. Bullet-proof Cuno oil filter.
Drive train was rebuilt not long ago. 3 speed transmission and transfer case were completely gone through with new bearings and seals. Any gear that was questionable was replaced. Upgraded drive shafts. Axles 5.38:1 — Dana 44 rear, Dana 25 front. The front was recently rebuilt by Rearend Specialties in Santa Clara. Rebuilt knuckles including bearings and seals. Recent brakes front and back. Front brakes have been upgraded to larger 11″ drums. Warn locking hubs.
Like new BFG MTR tires under warranty from America’s Tire. Step rear bumper. Roll bar. U-bolt skid plates. 2″ spring lift. Warn hubs. Best-top soft top. Previously used for hunting – quiet and easy on fuel.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6800.
