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 $18,000.
This looks in good shape.

“All original except front bumper, runs, very little rust, ready for restoration !”
The seller claims this an unmolested CJ-3A. More accurately, it’s a M-38 that’s just slightly molested.
“WOW !!! Here is a hard to find unmolested all original 1951 Jeep CJ3A with only 12,396 miles on the odometer. The original soft top and doors will also come with the sale of this vehicle. This jeep runs and drives good but will need a brake master cylinder as it has gone bad while in storage. Come out take a look drive it around the yard and see what you think. I really think its worth your drive and time and doubt you will be disappointed. Asking 16K may consider serious cash offer made here in person. Tire kickers please don’t waste my time, serious buyers only as these original jeeps don’t come around for sale very often. call or text 4 zero 2 seven20-03one 0”

“I am listing this 1951 Willys M38 Jeep for my uncle. He has owned it over 25 years. It is in running condition as he drives it during fair weather.
It has a solid frame and body. It has not been significantly modified and still has its original character. It has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system. A recent restoration of the gas tank was completed to fix leaks and corrosion. The actual mileage is unknown. Included with the jeep is an operation/maintenance manual and a variety of extra parts including a rear seat frame.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
There might be some value here.
“This Willys was running and driving when parks a few years ago. Bet you never heard that one before. I didn’t think so. Ok, here’s the deal. I picked up this Jeep a few weeks back because I wanted to get rid of the Buick V6 in my flat fender and put it back original. This one looked like a good candidate. Well, almost.
First of all, its an M38 and while not the best candidate of restoration, it is a little to good to part out without trying to save it as a whole vehicle. Secondly, the engine was stuck. It had been sitting under a shed for about 5 years so I didn’t anticipate it being real serious, so I pulled the head just to see. The pictures pretty much tell the story, but I’ll describe. The good is there is no ring groove and probably a light honing will clear the cylinders up. But it is going to have to be torn down. #3 piston has a couple of broke pieces missing out of it. Don’t exactly know how or why, but it is what it is.
Other than that, its a pretty complete old Jeep. All the engine parts are in place, except the conversion to 12v. generator. Nice windshield. Good seat frames. Study the pictures. The tag on the dash is definitely not original and I don’t recognize the number as an M38 number but there is an ID. This is BILL OF SALE ONLY!!! Please don’t expect anything more. I won’t try to get a title don’t even ask. ”
