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 .
Parts value?

“1951 Military M38 Jeep Willys with tow bar attached to the front for sale. Bought not to long ago looking to fix up, but haven’t had the time to do it. Before me, previous owner had it since the 50’s. Body is rusty and will need a lot of work, especially on the floor pans and the floor in the back, but the original pieces will make it a really nice finished product. Has original dash, seats (not pictured), cargo attatchments on the sides, steering wheel, and entire body. Body was given fiberglass coating in the 70’s, and is painted green but chipping off. The front windshield folds down and has the military air vents and storage containers. According to the original owner, his father got it in the 50’s directly from the military. New engine has less than 6500 miles and will start and run. Includes spare tire attached to rear passenger side. Don’t drive it at all, but will fire up after a quick charge of the battery.”
It’s an M-38 that has a few MB items on it. The seller believes the windshield to be an MB windshield, but it appears to be an early CJ-2A windshield.

“I am selling my Willys M38 Jeep that was finished as a MB clone. This 1952 military jeep was built for the Korean war and is a true military jeep, but this one has the MB grille/bucket lights and older style windshield added.
Many new parts. The Willys runs and drives well and is parade ready. No oil leaks to speak of. Maybe one or two drips at the most. I drive this jeep every other day to the store and everybody honks and waves. This is a great jeep for you to have fun with the kids and grandkids as it has all the safety upgrades, such as blinkers, tail lights, seat belts, head lights, black out lights, and horn.
This jeep starts every time winter or summer. 4×4 works as it should. Not perfect, but ready to drive and have fun with. It cruises about 40 mph. The speedometer reads about 8 mph too fast so you’ll think you’re driving 48 mph! Clean Kansas Title.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
(12/15/2016) Rare vehicle in great shape.
“1952 rust-free M-38CDN military jeep. Made in Canada by Ford with all Willey’s parts.

This is as near original as you will find for the flat fender jeep.
Extra parts go with this vehicle, such as hood,generator, voltage regulator, etc.
I am selling for my father and may need to provide a separate number for questions I can’t answer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6200.
Has a replacement M-38 body with a 2A windshield.
“1951 M-38 jeep willys runs and drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This appears to have potential.
“If you are looking for a military jeep to restore this is it. Every thing is original and it is 99 percent complete. I bought it from the daughter of an older man who had planned to restore it for his grandson. However he passed and it stayed in a garage for many years. It is currently in my garage. I have decided to see if I can sell it as is. If not I’ll do the restoration in the summer. It has some rust but nothing serious. The frame is excellent. This is a time capsule for someone that wants a true military jeep. ”
This was listed elsewhere, but I can’t track it down at the moment.
“1950s Jeep Willys project. Aftermarket tub, Chevy 260 motor inline 6 with 3 speed standard transmission (ran up until 3 months ago when it was taken out of another vehicle, not currently installed in jeep). Some work has been done on tie rods, fairly new tires, tub has been primed. Great project vehicle. No title. ”

“Selling a 1951 Willys M38 Jeep. This is a cool project that I no longer have time or resources to finish. I have had Jeep for 13 years and have done alot of work to this point. Jeep is M38 frame, body, drive train with a Dana 41 rear axle. The front grill is from a CJ3A. Jeep has a 4 cylinder Chevy engine out of a mid 60’s car.Jeep has power steering as well. Jeep ran, drove it around the block and then started taking Jeep apart, etc., Jeep has custom 1 1/2 body lift, heavy duty shackles, and is set up for dual shocks with a very rare, vintage heavy duty Rancho dual shock lower mounts. This is a project and needs to be wired, needs a radiator, seats mounted, steering colum built. Jeep has upgraded 11″ brakes. I was building this Jeep to look Military on top and hot rod below.Body is fair and has some rust on drivers side front floor.Any ways, thanks for looking and please feel free to ask questions.”
Looks to be a mix of parts. Has full floating rear hubs.

“I don’t know much about these Jeeps. I recently acquired this Military vintage Jeep from the previous owner who obviously put a lot of effort in restoring this vehicle both mechanically and body. A few after market refinements were put in place including: electric fuel pump, alternator, turn signals, back-up lights, gauges, exhaust. Looks like the entire drive train has been gone through. It starts and drives great, 4WD works, brakes well, solid steering, good clutch etc. Looks to have a full floating rear axle, front locking hubs, wheels and tires in great shape.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6750.
Seems to be missing the data plates.
