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 $3000
(09/11/2011) The body is a M-38, but the serial number indicates a CJ-3B. (though the 153-GB2 should actually be 453-GB2). So, I’m gonna guess that has been assembled from several jeeps.
“1953 Jeep Willys. In running condition. Serial # 153-GB2 30912.”

This appears solid.
“This Jeep is awesome. I bought it from a military man who had the engine rebuilt and took great car of it, he used it in parades. It was titled in GA as a 1947 and when I bought it the SC title was left as a 1947. His son, who I bought it from said it was a ’52 and was used in the Korean War and from all indications this seems to be accurate, as this is not a Civilian Jeep. The actual mileage is unknown, but not many miles have driven since the engine rebuild. Shifts and drives great. I mean really great. It’s like a dream to be in it.
I had just had the entire brake system replaced, down to the hoses to make sure the next owner can feel confident in their safety. It was also had a tune up, new battery and runs awesome. Just got it back and put about $1,600 into it, so please bid with confidence
This Jeep owns the road, you can drive it and smile, as it feels amazing. Be prepared for ton of compliments, and has no problem keeping up with traffic and tops out at about 50mph.
Needs windshield and wipers, but did not get them because I keep the windshield down. Fuel and temp gauge do not work. It also could use a small piece of sheet metal on the bottom side of passenger’s seat under the tool box area.
So sad I have to sell this, and really hope it finds someone that really appreciates it. This jeep is ready to be enjoyed! So stop by and we can take it for a spin, and feel free to ask me any questions.”

“This vehicle is a rare find. Its a 1950s Willy’s M38 in the United States Air Force “flight line” paint job. This Willys would have been used during the Korean Conflict. This vehicle came direct out of a museum in Minnesota (Commerative Air Force) and we are selling this vehicle because we are a non-profit and have to let it go in order to fund our upcoming fiscal year. The vehicle runs great and has NO RUST! It has a new battery (and the conversion was made prior to us securing this vehicle a year ago). If you would like more information please contact me.”
SOLD. Was available for $5500.

Vic has this jeep for sale on eBay.
“This 1951 Willys M38 jeep is a roller project. It is full of history and a lot of its civilian life is known. From what we can gather, it was purchased from the military by a California school district in 1959, then sold in 1983. It has been parked on a ranch in southern California since 1983. It has an RMC-numbered engine which means that sometime between 1951 and 1959 when the civilian title was issued, the original engine blew and was replaced by the factory rebuilt RMC code engine. This code is the vehicle ID number listed on the title. This engine had been removed from the jeep and was found amidst a pile of Willys parts…a true miracle. This engine of course is included with the M38 (see pix). It consists of the block only and has some issues, among them a broken valve and a lot of dirt. Also included are 2 flywheels (one for the big clutch and one for the small for the T90), floorpan for over the transmission, exhaust/intake manifolds, a flexplate, and 2 stock rear bumpers. It is a 24-volt jeep and the plug on the passenger side is intact.
Serial number for this M38 is 30118, delivered 8-51. All ID and serial number code plates are intact. This jeep is being sold with the 1959 title. There are no license plates.
Body: This poor jeep has received at least 3 paint jobs over the original military green…grey, red and finally, yellow, plus undercoating that is peeling off. Any rust that is visible is surface rust. The floorpan is solid with the exception of one corner of the front passenger floor (see pic), there is a small hole there. The hood has a part that was cut out on the right side and it has cracked there. The tailgate is beat up and the rear bumpers are busted (2 excellent ones are included to replace these). There are many dings and marks but all in all, the body is solid. The windshield is missing and the side mirror is broken. There is a crease on the right quarter panel and also some damage to the right front fender (see pic). The rear lights plastics are in poor condition. … (read more on eBay)”
