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 $1200
The more will run.
“Willys M38 Jeep, this is a project vehicle either for hunting or restoring, I have had the motor started, does have the windshield with it just not in it, please email me with any questions”
UPDATE: This is on eBay, too.
(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.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay
There looks like some value here. The tailgate shouldn’t be stamped jeep though.
“No frills, just a nice reliable vehicle that was used for hunting every year. Has waterproof ignition, 2 extra wheels, jeep stamped on tailgate, was licensed by CO Nat Guard in ’53. After being parked for some time, would need fuel system cleaned out, but ran like a top when parked.”
UPDATE: Was $4600.**SOLD**
(08/22/2011) This looks in good shape. I bet that it hasn’t ever been restored, as it has a nice patina about it.

“Body is removed from frame ready to restore, engine is froze up call 541-473-9200

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
It looks like a mix of civilian and M-38 parts.
“1952 Willys M38, Restored, no rust, runs great, only 8k miles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This still runs and drives. It has the wrong tailgate though and few minor mods.
“NO FRILLS, JUST A NICE REALIABLE VEHICLE USED FOR HUNTING EVERY YEAR. HAS WATERPROOF IGNITION,EXTRA WHEELS,JEEP STAMPED ON TAILGATE. WASN’T LICENSED UNTIL 52OR53 BY CO NAT GUARD”
This looks like a solid combo.
“Once retired from service with the military, this M38 Willys was used by a city in Colorado as a spray vehicle until purchased by a civilian here in Kansas and partially restored. Jeep runs and drives very well. All lights work, including trailer lights. Jeep has good tires, as well as trailer; one tire is new. Includes a new vinyl top and doors. Must be purchased as a set.”
