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 .

Buz spotted this running M-38A1 that still has a 24 volt system. It does have some rust.
“1955 willys m38a1 all original 12,000 original miles runs good needs complete restoration. It’s still original 24 volt and lights work. It needs new resivor for brakes because the fluid will leak out it has a little rust in floor pans but not bad at all for age it’s way better than many other jeeps. It has a title and would make a great jeep that’s worth a lot of money. Call or text Matt (803)493five63two for more pics and details”

No pics provided. Maybe there some value here?
“its in boxes original hard top included v6 model for parts or project NO TITLE”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed on eBay
I think this same jeep was for sale back in 2012. The only difference that I see is the lack of MVPA text on the driver’s side.
“This 1953 M38A1 original custom jeep that has been fully restored, includes canvas soft top, military green, 4wd, & it is great condition. Original engine (just rebuilt), added a fuel pump, everything works – all lights, horn/siren, blinkers, windshield wipers, seat belts, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15000
Looks good.

Mark found this jewel of a PDF at Roscommonequipment.com. We’ve seen a few of these fire jeeps for sale over the years. This document provides some insights into how the pumps work and the type of modifications that were added. The document contains instructions, specifications and detailed drawings.

Here’s an example of one jeep that was for sale last year. I thought there was another one, but I can’t find it at the moment.
UPDATE: Was eBay. **SOLD**
Pascal forwarded this unique collection for sale on eBay. It includes, an MB,M38,M38A1,M170,M151A1,M422A1. Lots of pics.
“Description
Up for sale is a unique collection of the span of the military jeep generations. Our founder has been collecting these Jeeps for decades and has decided to sell his collection in its entirety.
Over the past decades, our founder collected the cream of what came by our doors, and stored them away in his personal collection. As we are also one of the biggest Jeep Parts distributors in the USA this was a relatively easy task, both to find these jewels and to refit them with whatever parts that were needed. Part can be found at Jeeps Surplus in Oroville, CA. The only vehicle in this collection not running is the “1960 AMC M422A1 MITY MITE”, which hasn’t had any engine work.
The purchase price for the entire jeep collection is $100,000.00. We will not be selling these jeeps individually.”
