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 .
If I understand the ad, this does not include the top.

“NO DINGS ON BODY AT ALL. RUNS GREAT, CLEAR TITLE”
I thought the fenders on this were interesting. Were there aftermarket fenders like this made?
“1953 Jeep…..Willys Model MD…..Willys Overland Motors, Toledo Ohio…..
Let me begin by saying that this jeep hasn’t been started in 6 or 7 years… When it was parked where it now sits, it was running… How well it was running I don’t really know… It was a family vehicle, that was driven by various people and owned by my late uncle… It was parked in the garage one day, and basically forgotten, and there it sits, lost in time…
So…Please bear in mind, it is not running… The battery is dead, and there appears to be some old fuel still in the tank…
It seems to be complete, albeit kinda beat up…I was told it looked like an M-38 A1 military jeep, but the designation tags that are riveted to the dashboard state it to be a Willys Model MD as I’ve stated in the listing… These tags also show this vehicle as having been manufactured in March 1953…
So…There is a ton of rust, but not any serious rot… The tires are enormous, and seem to be in O.K. shape, but who knows?
I don’t know much about this type of vehicle mechanically, but when looking at the motor, I don’t believe it has been modified or mucked around with too much, but look carefully at the photos, and you be the judge…
The biggest caveat of the whole show would be, that it’s tucked away in a garage, and if you want it, you’ll have to tow it out… I tried to push it towards the door a bit, but was unable to budge it… So…Heave-ho……..”

“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!
The 1954 M38A1 Willy’s Overland Jeep is the first Military Jeep to have the rounded front fenders so commonly associated with Jeeps. The M38A1 was produced between 1952 and 1957, and only 80,290 were produced for military use. Most of these Jeeps have been lost forever, however some still exist. Most of these Jeeps are in poor condition, and require a great deal of money to restore.
My Jeep was reportedly owned by a military man who planned to restore it in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. In 1994, I found this Jeep in an old junkyard in Chattanooga, TN under an old tarp (it did not run, but it had virtually no rust). Over the years I brought the Jeep to life.
Jeep Notables:
The engine and running gear were rebuilt to original specs by Vintage Jeeps Inc. 2008. The 24 volt system was converted to a 12 volt system for reliability *** The generator was replaced with an alternator for efficiency *** The Wiring was replaced and the fuse block is now protected within a waterproof box *** Both seats are original with NOS canvas
NOS vacuum assist Wiper Motors come with the Jeep (not currently on the Jeep) ***
Original data plates and 1955 M38A1 Operators Maintenance Manual included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
Eric spotted this original M-38A1. This has the hinged grille, so it should be a ’52 or ’53.
“Army Jeep! Runs with a little work, Great for restore or parts! ”
This looks great for the price.
“This Jeep is in very good condition and runs well, does not have rust problems. It has the original engine (army green). The Jeep has 24200 miles on it, the engine was rebuilt at 19058 miles by Rustys 4×4. The jeep has a 12 volt system with elec/vacume wipers, army data plates and black-out swithches. Recent brake and carburetor work, it has a Best Top and a Bikini top, rollbar and tow bar. Jeep enthusiasts consider this military jeep one of the best jeeps every built. Vintage collectors could restore this jeep. I have all the repair receipts since 1989.
