About eWillys
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.
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 .
READ ENTIRE ADD! 1953 M-38A-1 Willys Army Jeep, RUNS GOOD, STOPS GOOD CAN BE DRIVEN, 24 volt set up, needs some minor tinkering, and canvas doors redone, no top but light frame is there, no trades,no calls after 8pm. If add is up it’s still available, I’m posting for a friend, thanks for looking
Starting out with an M38A1 and a 1960 CJ-5, the CJ body tub, was combined with the
M38A1 grille, hood, fenders, dashboard and the various minor elements that
distinguish the M38A1 from the CJ-5.
The body is rust and Bondo free, with a single patch panel having been applied to the
right rear quarter where the CJ-5 spare tire mount originally was. Paint is O.D. Green
While not an original M38A1, almost every effort has been made to replicate the M38A1
military vehicle design. This Jeep has been converted to a 12 volt electrical system and
completely rewired. There are several distinct advantages to the CJ-5 body, including
an opening tailgate (eliminated on the M38A1), under seat tool box, cabin heater,
electric windshield wiper (driver side only), lighter rate spring packs (better ride) and
cheaper replacement part costs.
Details normally found on the M38A1, but missing on this example, include: the
machine gun mounting reinforcements found on the underside of the body tub, the
military trailer light plug, the under cowl battery tray (the access port cover is there), passenger side straps, 4 ½” fuel
tank filler and the top bow brackets.
Details:
CJ-5 engine
Dana T90A-1 3-speed transmission
Dana model 18 transfer case (twin stick)
Dana 27 front axle w/Warn hubs
Dana 44 rear axle
M38A1 dash board
M38A1 parking brake system
Non-directional lug tires (all excellent except the spare (sun cracked)
3 genuine military rims
2 period civilian rims
Jerry can and mount
Registered as a 1960 CJ-5. This is VERY IMPORTANT to any Colorado residents as
Colorado PROHIBITS the REGISTRATION AND USE of any military vehicle sold as
surplus, on streets and highways that fall under the jurisdiction of the State of
Colorado.

Other states may also have such a prohibition on the books! Do your research! This
vehicle is legal and can be registered in all 50 states.
The price is $7500.00 and is located in Cortez, Colorado (4 Corners Region).
The original engine, trans, transfer case, front and rear axles are also available for an
additional $1000.00. (or offered as a separate purchase).
