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: This was purchased by a reader. Was priced at $1500
Looks solid and complete.

“For sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Korean war Army Jeep with title. It is NOT assembled, and will need to be towed from it’s current location. It is a complete package. I have all body parts including N.O.S. front fenders and grill. The original 4 Cyl engine, T-90A trans, and Spicer 18 T-Case. Both original Axles, 4 wheels and 5 BRAND NEW military tires. the Chassis currently has a Small Block Chev 350 engine and Chevy TH350 trans installed. They also go with the whole package for $2500. I have boxes and boxes of small parts, guages, lights etc… Some N.O.S. parts in there as well. This is a Great project and will come together pretty quickly with a little effort. I NEED to get this out of my shop ASAP so I am willing to bargain within reason. I can send pics upon request. This Jeep is nearly 60 years old so the body is not prefect, but for it’s age it is in very good shape. There are NO holes rusted through the floor, it is straight but shows signs of being used. There is one rust hole in the right rear corner which a patch panel can easily be found or be made for. Any questions,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.

UPDATE: Both are still available. The CJ-3B is now listed at Hemmings.
Located down in Miami, Fl, and formerly located at the Trump International Beach and Hotel, the Dezer Museum became a public museum in 2010. It is now housed in a 250,000 square foot complex that showcases a collection of 600 cars, thousands of memorabilia items, a food court, shopping and more.
The collection currently has two jeeps. One is a 1951 M-38 (which can be bought for $20,000) and a CJ-3B (which they have incorrectly listed as a 1951 and is for sale for $25,000)
Here are some pics of the CJ-3B:

(10/24/2010) This jeep could use a bath, but appears to be a solid jeep improved for the street and trail. Among the updates are free floating rear hubs, a tilt wheel and a full cage.
“1952 Willys M38 – Buick 231 V6 engine, 4 Speed Manual Tranmission and rear locking differential.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1875. It was listed on eBay
This has a solid looking body, though there have been a few mods to it (and the rest of the jeep).
“Well I’m sure no expert on jeeps, but this m-38 jeep was almost given to me by a friend. This information is just as I’ve received it from him.
This jeep has just sat idle in a car port for the last 5 years or so. First I will list the minuses as I see them. It has not run for several years. It needs seats (but I have the base frames). It will require whatever sitting idle for 5 years would require. (fresh gas, tune up, fluids, battery etc). I do not have a top, or a key.
Now for some of its pluses.
This Jeep had a v-6 Buick professionally installed some years back. The install looks as if it came from the factory. (nice Job)
This jeep was running and driving well when it was last parked. It has the military 5:38 gears, axe mount, and one run “dark light”.
This jeep is almost 60 years old and not rusty. The floors, bed, and body are excellent.”
