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: Laurens provided a link to Facebook that has more photos: https://www.facebook.com/Willys-Jeep-M38-135991977104621/
Laurens is selling his nice looking M-38.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Mouse ate some wiring, so it doesn’t run at the moment. It might not take much to get it going again.
“1952 Willys Jeep. Selling due to the death of the owner. I do not know the details or history of this Willys. It is currently not running because mice ate some wiring. It should run but you should consider as non-running. A couple oddities…there was power brakes and a different gas pedal installed and it has street tires. I guess the plan was to have a daily driver. I don’t know. Anyway, other than that it’s pretty neat looking. I have the transferable registration. $4200.”
Listed as a “Navy” 1948, this may have been a Navy M-38.
“1948 Willys Jeep Navy Military issue. Engine runs good needs a little work. Engine is 4 cylinder flat head. Make Offer.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/01/2017) Looks in great shape.
“My personal M38 is for sale because I am downsizing my collection. This is a great example of the M38. Included with the sale is the trailer pictured on the back. This jeep runs, drives, and looks great! Great little weekend cruiser that will get lots of looks.”

This was just posted at warjeeps.com. It looks really nice ….
“This fully restored M38 has been body off frame restored, both cosmetically and mechanically to new. This rare, complete Arctic Package M38 includes
a factory removable aluminum hard top and doors with sliding glass windows, 20,000 BTU gas heater and deep water fording system for the air intake & exhaust.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(09/08/2017) Not sure why the back is solid.
“1951 Willies Jeep motor is not good, but, has Buick v6, 3 speed manual trans with overdrive which was working when I parked it..This is a project Jeep and will need new interior and paint. Body is straight and not rusted.I have had this Jeep for 39 years but no longer have paper work on it.”
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/cto/d/1951-willies-jeep/6374671014.html
Doesn’t run and has been sitting for 3 decades.
“This jeep has been in a storage shed for over 30 years, I have not had it running. It has a pretty solid body and has most of the original military features in tact. i.e. 24 volt electrical, headlight guards, bows, etc.. I do have a clear title which indicates the 1951 Willys status but does not reflect the same serial number?
There is a rust hole in the right rear corner and the passenger side floor board looks week, other wise pretty solid. The gas tank has been replaced by a civilian tank with smaller filler, not sure why. It does not turn over at this point, but I have not tried very hard.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
A project.
“I have here a 50s style Willy’s Jeep. I got it as a project for me to work on in my spare time. But I have not had time to track down all the parts. This Jeep would be a perfect project and once completed would make for an awesome collection.”
No pics and not much description. Probably an M-38 or CJ-3a.
“the jeep is new so far new motor and tub new every thing looking for jeep wrangler.”
