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 .
Runs, but needs work.

It’s a project listed at a dealership, but dealer notes they are just trying to help out the family.

This Bring-A-Trailer auction for a rare Ford-built M-38CDN was also spotted by Sam.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1952-jeep-jeep-m38/
“This 1952 Willys M38-CDN Jeep is one of approximately 2,135 units assembled by Ford for the Canadian Armed Forces in the early 1950s, and it is powered by a 2.2-liter inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck was refurbished during prior ownership and used as a museum display for approximately 20 years, and it was acquired by the seller in 2020. The green paintwork is contrasted by a lighter canvas top, and additional features include a fold-down windshield, body-color steel wheels, and reproduction canvas seat covers. The engine was rebuilt in 2020, and the fuel and vacuum pump was replaced in 2021. This Willys Jeep is now offered with accessories, a tool kit, historical literature, and a British Columbia registration document listing the truck as a 1952 Ford Pickup.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Lacks a title.
“Real M38 Jeep in fair condition, very rusty but restorable.
Engine and transmission are removed but included
Additional parts included also
No Title, Have paperwork to get one”
Might be worth a look, especially if it includes the winch.

“1953 Jeep m38 only 47,000 made-$3,500”
For a “showroom condition” jeep, this could use better pics.

“completely Restored showroom condition cost over 25k”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/04/2021) There’s some value here, just unclear how much.

“Military, parts Jeep or fixer up, no motor and no radiator.”
It’s hard to see how much floor rust is here.

“Hi I have a 1950s Jeep M38. It needs to be fully restore, body needs work some rust as seen on the pictures. I don’t have the time to fix it. Serious seller, please don’t waste my time with stupid ?”
Doesn’t run at the moment.

“This listing is for this M38 Jeep posted in the pictures, along with MANY extra parts. Does not run at this time, but, was running when it went into storage.”
Mark spotted this promising looking project.

“1948 Willys M38A, Motor is out and in the back this will be a full restore.”
This appears to have a replacement body, as it’s a mix of M-38 and MB styles. Also, it shouldn’t have full-floaters (though I think there are a useful add).
