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 $7500
(02/10/2011) This must be painted Civil Service Yellow. Might not be a bad price for a frame off restoration.
“FRAME OFF RESTORE , Civil Service Jeep from Estacada school district , 26,130 miles , warn overdrive , new 11″ brakes , New M-M front hubs , Thousands spent , this is being pulled for sale from my personal car collection”
There is a pic, but it is awfully tiny.
“1952 WILLYS. Military Jeep M38 – $9700. Good condition, runs well, the real deal!
Brownwood Texas 325-203-4918”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This could be a good deal given the seller’s need to sell.
“1951 Willies Jeep, flat fender,4-cylinder. New brakes and does run, but needs to be converted to 12 volts. Has hard top, needs replacement glass in some windows.
2500.00 must sell.”
UPDATE: These are nice and have been available for a while.

This looks pretty good. The seller also has a 2nd M-38 and a M-38A1 for sale.
“Title says 1942. This jeep runs and drives but has some minor body needs. Has a M38 artic top with data plates. Starts right up. Has L head engine and floating rearend. Has the heavy duty frame that CJ2 and 3A’s do not have. The grille is from a 3A and has been converted to 12 volts. Great 3A project with heavy duty front and rear bumpers that both have ball hitches. Could use a tune up. But she runs. I believe its a 52 or 53? M38’s were actually heavy duty 3A’s made for punishment. Only made 3 years 51, 52, and again in 55.
Also have a 2nd M38 with the correct grille and other parts for sale. It has a 302 that runs but neeeds body work and master brake cylinder work. Its title says 43 and its $1600 with the artic top with M38 data tags. This is a flat fender unlike the M38A1 which is the first round fender.
Have one of those [M-38a1] for sale 90% restored to military use, for $5500 .”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(09/21/2009) It sounds like it doesn’t run. Ok, it doesn’t look like it runs either …
“Ford 289 V-8 Engine, refinished orignal seats, needs wiring harness; Replaced steering system with 3/4 inch bars; Tow bar in excellent condition; ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This is interesting. The seller says this is an unrestored M-38 in great condition. If accurate, this might be an unusual find if you want a M-38.
“Up for sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Army jeep. Looks and runs good. Tires are new. No rust however certain parts are pitted. Willys flathead 4cyl engine original to the jeep, T90 trans, 4wd. This is a rare untouched, unrestored find. It came straight from the fire dept and runs very good. Shifts fine, Steers tight, stops as it should and does not leak any oil. It has been converted to 12 volt by the fire dept and has never been modified or in civilian hands untill recently. I have the original gov. release form. This jeep also has the original spring seat cushions.
the last photo is a picture of my yard, if you buy and pay you will recieve. Local pickup only however I can help with shipping to 48 states and overseas.”
Wolfgang lives in Germany and has a great looking M-38. But, I think that travel trailer is equally cool. It was built in Belgium in 1977 and the model is a Coral T3.
BTW Wolfgang is looking for a Bell Crank. Anyone have an extra one? Just email me at d@ewillys.com.
Here’s the shot of the trailer:
Wolfgang and some friends were out jeeping recently. As you can see, he’s not afraid to get it dirty, either.
I thought this was a really cool shot. They are crossing a river on a small ferry. The town in the background looks so picturesque!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(01/27/2011) This looks very good, though needs work of some type. The body appears to be a M-38.
