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 pretty clean, running and mostly original jeep. It is currently titled and ready to drive.I will be able to show this weekend.I do not have pictures”
Motor has seized.
“I’m selling my 1953 Willy’s jeep, body and drive train are on outstanding condition. The only problem with the Willy’s is that it needs a motor rebuild. Comes with two motors, two trans, two tranfercases. I payed 6,000 for the jeep, taking 2,000 off for the seized motor. Great deal! Please only respond if truly interested. I bought the xtra motor to fix this one. The trans and transfercase are exra. The reason for the engine problems was the oil pick up was clogged and I seized a rod to crank. I do not want to get rid of the beautiful pice of American history but my family come first. Please call me at 9896154327.”

UPDATE: Was $7000. **SOLD**
Looks like a solid M-38A1.
“This is an awesome Jeep. Purchased in 2005 from a gentleman in Massachusetts. This Jeep has always been garage kept. It has a title and was appraised for $8,500 in 2005. There are 45,000 miles on the engine and very little rust on the body. This vehicle runs well and the 4 wheel drive, works perfectly. The original 24 volt system remains and has a floor board start (no key). Very few modifications have been made to this Jeep and it shows well as is or can be brought up to show quality with little work. The gentleman I purchased from did add an overdrive gear which allows the Jeep to reach higher speeds. There are some minor “dings” in the body, but overall is in very good condition. Lights and electrical system are fully functional; turn signals added for street driving. This Jeep also has a heater!”
This runs and drives.
“M38A1 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives good but needs some work on the brakes. Would make a great deer lease vehicle. Rust is minimal and would be a good restore vehicle if you decided to go that route. I need it gone due to other projects.
Would be interested in trading for a Miller Mig or Tig welder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
(10/04/2013) It doesn’t have a motor, but it does have a unique look to it with the colors and stripes.
“1953 M38A1 excellent rolling chassis. Has no motor in it but everything else is there.Body and frame are in excellent conditions, has a 1989 jeep tilt steering column, 4″round rollbar cage and 10″chrome wheels & 31×10.5R15 tires”

Doug forwarded this eBay photo that references Operation Deepfreeze. Given the number “14” is written on the side of the jeep it would suggest there were other jeeps there, too. Here’s a link to a few images on G503 from Life Magazine.
