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 on eBay.
I never did find the gas filler for this. Maybe it is in the rear passenger side?
“1952 Willys M38 military Jeep. 236 miles on freshly rebuilt 153 ci Chevrolet engine. New carburetor, master cylinder, brakes, bikini top, full top with doors, new paint. Entire driveline recently serviced. Too much work to list. Please feel free to ask questions. Vehicle located near Key West, Florida.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.
This runs and drives. It also has a m-38 body.
“Hey there , I’m selling my CJ-2A Project Jeep that i’m probably never going to get around to doing. It’s a ’46 , pretty much all original running gear (Flat head 4cyl., T90, model 18, etc.) It runs and drives but definately needs some work. It has been converted to 12Volt so it turns over nicely but it does need to have a basic ignition switch installed and lights , etc. The body isn’t bad for an old Willys, it does have it’s share of small dings and dents along with the standard issue Bondo but not much rust at all so it’s fairly solid. 4X4 works good and it does have some really decent old style 7.00 x 16 traction tires on it. I have a clear Washington title for it. Asking $950.00 Please call , email or text if you have any questions. ”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(07/03/2012) This looks like a good restoration candidate.
“WILLYS 1952 M-38 JEEP
The jeep has a strong engine, needs carb rebuild
Has Ramsey PTO winch on the front
The electrical has been changed to 12 volt
Very solid body, frame, floorboards, floor support channels
No rust! just on surface!
This Jeep is for restoration, I would like to see this go to someone that would put it back to original M-38 specs. My intention was just that when I purchased it but do not have the time now.
Please ask any questions before bidding on it, I will be happy to answer the best I can. If you are interested I would suggest come and see the M-38 in person. I will be happy to show you the Jeep. It is located in Northern California area.”

UPDATE: This sold. The new owner is looking for parts.
This has a CJ-2A engine. It also has an CJ-3A windshield. There is some rust in the jockey box floor. There are no data plates, so the title number matches nothing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900
(08/28/2012) This looks good. It doesn’t have the original block.

(09/04/2012) This seller want a Model A.
“This is my 1952 Model M38 U.S. Army jeep. Garage kept. This is one the last of the flat fender jeeps. Introduced in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean war. Only 45,173 were made. Production ended in Sept of 1952. I rebuilt it from the ground up, complete body off restoration 3 years ago. NO RUST ANYWHERE! All parts were sandblasted and primed. This included the chassis, body, fenders, and all parts large and small. Any rusted parts were discarded and replaced. All new NDCC military tires, new brake system, new wiring harness, gas tank seats, canvas. The jeep had a Ford Pinto engine when I got it. I got rid of that and installed a rebuilt Willys L4-134 “Go Devil” 60 HP engine which was the original for this Jeep. I also upgraded to a 12 Volt system including a one wire alternator. Installed front seat belts and turn signals. The drive train is in excellent operating condition. It’s been driven only 1000 miles or so since restore. Mostly to military, car shows, and parades. The siren gets this Jeep plenty of attention at parades and at these events from vets and the general public. Lots of “Thumbs Up” from other drivers when driven around town. Drive it anywhere at 40 or 45 MPH. For longer distances, it has a tow bar with 2″ ball and electrical connections. It can be flat towed. No trailer needed.
.
I have really enjoyed the Jeep, But it’s time get a new toy.. I have always had interest in Model A Fords and would be interested in trading for a coupe or roadster with rumble seat. in comparable condition. If you have one, email me with a pix a brief description. If we are mutually interested, we can go from there. Not interested in hot rods or repros. Just a plain old Model A.”
