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: Was $800. **SOLD**

“Found in a barn 20 years ago, have been slowly restoring it over that long time. Runs and drives fine. This one originally came with an aluminum officers insulated cab. It was built in the middle of the only 60k that were produced. All Beechwood canvas original interior and top. Used only in parades and shows, have trophies.”

Paul forwarded me some images from a friend of his who built this hunting jeep for a client. I think there is some nice work here. Thanks Paul! My weapons specialist gf thought it was very cool!
Paul wrote, “this M-38 was built by a friend of mine (Rob Fife), who is a master at fabrication. He restored the M-38 for a customer, who then decided he wanted a hunting rack on it. He built the frt/rear racks to be quick attach, with quick pins, and the rear seat mounts on pedestals so it can be used front or rear. Then the customer decided he wanted to use in parades so gun mounts were added for (3) airsoft m60’s for crowd control. It handles good and isn’t too top heavy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
The back seats are unusual, but it looks good otherwise.

This might be a M-38.

This looks good.
“Restored 1951 M38 Willy’s Army Jeep – Ser. No. 24,675 MFG 9-51The M38 only had a two year production run, during which time only 62,329 were built (compared with the nearly 650 thousand MBs and GPWs build during WWII). Has several unique characteristics compared to the WWII jeep. First with 24 volt electrical system, first one piece windshield, first to have 7×16 tires instead of 6×16, last and best of flat fendered jeeps, last of the flat head 4 cylinder engines, first jeep with true fording capabilties(sealed sparkplugs and distributer) when equipped with a snorkel and tail pipe extension and of course the removable tailgate.
Though restored, this has been changed to a 12 volt system and does not have the sealed(water proof) plugs. So here is an M38 that not only looks good, but is road ready.”
This sure looks like a M-38 to me.
“For Sale: A 1947 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives, good brakes, original 4 cylinder flat head engine, 4×4, no top, $2950”

This still needs some work.
“i have a 51 m38 been in storage since the 70’s all stock except for a new ford 289 never fired. new exhaust was an old navy jeep. seats have been redone right now the willys is stripped to metal didn’t want to paint it not sure what color new owner might like. the front fenders hood and windshield are all painted OD green. i was going to build a wheeler but this m38 is in way too good of shape for me to beat up.. has a new tow bar on it.has original dana 25 and dana 44 axles no longer has bump steer been converted. the bad…..needs wiring harness needs brake master cylinder and clutch hooked hooked up. this willys is in really good shape for the year. pass side rear in the early 70’s drive caught the spare tire carrier on a tree and rippled the corner a bit. where the windshield sits is a little wavy… will send pics if interested. there is a spare hood and front fenders also not pictures is the half roll bar”
