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 $1000.
This is either mis-titled or is mixtured of parts.
“This is a non running 1948 jeep. I bought it a project. all the parts appear to be there. I no longer have the money or time due to other projects. I want to trade for a Quad of equal value in running condition. Please don’t call before 10 am.”
This looks good.

Unclear if this runs or not. There is supposed to be little rust.

(04/10/2010) It runs and drives, but in it’s unclear why this isn’t ready for the road.
“This weekend only, have to clear out of garage. Great project with a little left to finish, does start,run and drive,(would suggest towing home or driving short distance-needs some brake work finished and driveline checked) many new parts installed allready including new brakes,cylinders,lines,fuel tank,pump,and lines,all new exhaust, with more new parts not installed yet, includes 2 sets of tires,Jerry can and mount, has rust but main body looks pretty good,4WD works,12 volt wired and lights working, Clear title and current registration,”
It sounds like this has seen a pretty thorough rebuild.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
the seller lists this as a M-38, but as J.R. points out, it looks more like a CJ-3A.
It runs and drives.
“ORIGINAL 1952 M38 MILITARY JEEP WITH ORIGINAL 4 CYLINDER WILLYS JEEP ENGINE THAT RUNS AND DOES NOT SMOKE. BODY ON THIS JEEP IS BADLY RUSTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT OR YOU CAN REMOVE THE BODY AND MAKE A HELL OF A “MUDDER” OR HUNTING VEHICLE OR JUST USE IT AS-IS WITHOUT DOING A THING TO IT. THIS IS A ROUGH JEEP AS SHOWN BY THE PICTURES BUT IT STILL HAS THE POTENTIAL TO MAKE A GREAT RIDE. $1500 OBO. ”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed for $8750.
I sure don’t see to many ‘restored’ M-38s sporting a CJ-2A windshield.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
This has a custom top — I’d like to see pics of that.
