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 .
Alright football fans. Mark spotted this unusual jeep. A Texas Christian University fan of some type painted this flattie. The paint appears to be in decent shape still.

Needs minor parts, like an engine and brakes.
“Willys army jeep 1952? Good body very little rust needs motor and brakes.$1000 obo”
http://bham.craigslist.org/cto/2147876196.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This appears to be a disassembled M-38. The price is a bit high given it’s incomplete.
“1940’s Willys Jeep body in excellent condition. Comes with frame for canvas, windshield with frame, front fenders, 4 military tires on rims pumped up. $2500.00 OBO”
The price is a bit high on this project. However, what interests me is that this appears to be a M-38 body, with the exception of a battery box. And, this doesn’t appear to be a replacement body to me.

This doesn’t not run. The seller suggests the body is solid.
“Willy Jeep for sale. Not running right now. In pretty good shape for the Model year. No title. Limited rust on the body and floor boards are good. Has a In-line 4 cylinder. Was given to me and has been in the barn for six years. Had it running a couple of years ago. Asking $1,500 for it. See pic’s and give me a call. This jeep needs to go.”

“For sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Korean war Army Jeep with title. It is NOT assembled, and will need to be towed from it’s current location. It is a complete package. I have all body parts including N.O.S. front fenders and grill. The original 4 Cyl engine, T-90A trans, and Spicer 18 T-Case. Both original Axles, 4 wheels and 5 BRAND NEW military tires. the Chassis currently has a Small Block Chev 350 engine and Chevy TH350 trans installed. They also go with the whole package for $2500. I have boxes and boxes of small parts, guages, lights etc… Some N.O.S. parts in there as well. This is a Great project and will come together pretty quickly with a little effort. I NEED to get this out of my shop ASAP so I am willing to bargain within reason. I can send pics upon request. This Jeep is nearly 60 years old so the body is not prefect, but for it’s age it is in very good shape. There are NO holes rusted through the floor, it is straight but shows signs of being used. There is one rust hole in the right rear corner which a patch panel can easily be found or be made for. Any questions,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This is a project.

UPDATE: Both are still available. The CJ-3B is now listed at Hemmings.
Located down in Miami, Fl, and formerly located at the Trump International Beach and Hotel, the Dezer Museum became a public museum in 2010. It is now housed in a 250,000 square foot complex that showcases a collection of 600 cars, thousands of memorabilia items, a food court, shopping and more.
The collection currently has two jeeps. One is a 1951 M-38 (which can be bought for $20,000) and a CJ-3B (which they have incorrectly listed as a 1951 and is for sale for $25,000)
Here are some pics of the CJ-3B:
