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 .
This is a non runner. This seller also has this MB for sale and this non-running CJ-2A jeep for sale.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
I like a lot of things about this jeep, but I don’t get the bumpers — those are bumpers, aren’t they? As far as I know, M-38s were stopped in ’52.

It appears this is either a M-38 body or a replacement body. For $300 it looks like it has a variety of parts, including an almost full cage.
“it’s got a great body on it, very straight. I don’t have the title for it, but it’s a great jeep for parts or whatever you wanna do with it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

Rollcage is now painted olive drab along with back tube bumper and star on hood. Also now has 31×10.5 tires on black spoke wheels.”
Are those some kind of blackout headlights? I haven’t seen those before. There’s a few minor things to quibble with, but it sure looks great. I really have to start building that eWillys travel budget!
“ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE ALL REBUILT, CORRECT FORDING EQUIPMENT, BLACK LIGHT, RIFLE RACK,CORRECT ENGINE,CORRECT RIMS, NEARLY EVERYTHING IS CORRECT, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS, THAT ARE NOT QUITE MODEL CORRECT BUT ARE REALLY CLOSE, NEW RADIATOR, NEW TYRES ….”
The pictures show the jeep is all together, but from the seller’s comments I think it is still apart?
“I have a 52 Willys Jeep Started restoration but never finished. It has a Ford V 6, Holly two Barrel, Hooker Headers, MSD ignition,new bucket seats, after market dash, Just to much to list. Come take a look you will be astounded on how great it looks for a 52 A light rust spot on the right rear corner panel. Had it the last 20 years never Sat out side always in my garage. Topper is in perfect condition. Please Contact me at (303)978-1083 Will not respond to E Mails so don’t try. Mark”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
This jeep looks like it rides a little high. Either it’s got re-arched springs or tall shackles.
“This rig replaces the standard engine with a 1972 Ford Pinto 2.0L engine for extra kick! Installed are a FRESH TRANSMISSION and a FRESH TRANSFER CASE!!! Aftermarket shocks are installed both front and rear, and combined with the installed front hub locks and front hitch, makes this a great basic off-roading package! Comes with an aftermarket rollbar, set of 5 original military tires, an original military gas can, and set of 4 Super Swamper 32″ off-road tires”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
“I have for sale a 1953 m-38 willys jeep. Original engine runs good. Body in good shape for a jeep of this era. Sorry not interested in any trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. Has a replacement body.
The seller lists two different prices for this M-38. Strangely, the dashboard looks like a M-38, but there are no passenger side cutouts and no battery cowl lid.
“1952 Willis Jeep. Runs good and has a sound body. All gears are good. Enclosure included (soft top and sides). Removable back seat, gun rack, and tow bar. The vinyl seats are cracked, as is the windshield. This Jeep was restored before I bought it and has locking hubs and wide tires. (I have two of the original tires and rims.) I have owned it for 10+ years and used it for hunting, playing, etc. It is kept in a shelter. Due to infrequent use, I am willing to part with it. $5000 Cash OBO”
