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 has some dents, but might be worth a look at this price.

It looks like there might be a little rust around the front edge of the fender.
“1954 Willys M38A1C Jeep for sale
The cutout in the windshield is for the barrel to stick out (the Jeep does not come with a gun or a gun mount).
This is a military Jeep with AROUND 45,000 original miles.
THIS VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE, SOLD WITH BILL OF SALE ONLY.
Body is in good shape with very little rust as you can see in the photos.
I bought it 4 or so years ago and got it running and frankly it didn’t run that bad but it does need a carborator rebuild. We drove it around the field, parked it back in the garage and haven’t touched it since!
This Jeep has the original 24 volt system and has a place for 2 batteries just in front of the windshield.
I was going to restore it but I have enough other projects that I will never get to and it would be nice to have the room!
This vehicle has a lost title from the previous owner and is sold with a bill of sale only.
Let’s talk about the title for a minute… YES this vehicle has been titled to a private owner.
The lady that I purchased this vehicle from has promised me for the past several years that she would send me the title and never has, I have called her literally hundreds of times with no luck.
So the title is lost.
I have a rough looking Xerox copy of the title when it was owned by the Museum of the Great Planes but not the current title.
So really it is a lost title and it has been titled in private hands.
I have a Xerox copy of the title… The vehicle was sold to the City of Lawton OK for the Museum of the Great Planes April 12, 1977 from the US Government. The vehicle was sold to the previous owner sometime in the early ’80s. The vehicle was last tagged in 2003. The owner died sometime around 2004 and the Jeep sat for a couple of years. I purchased the vehicle from the Mother of the previous owner in July of 2006.
On one part of the title is says 1953 but that has been covered up and is typed as a 1954… so upon further investication here is what I found:
The VIN number is 77369, the unit # is 433 Manufactured by WIllys Motors Date November 1954 Contract # G2758-8358319.”
This sounds like a must sell situation.
“1952 Overland M38 A1 Jeep. Moving soon and don’t have the time to restore this properly. Frame is in *excellent* condition, no rust. Needs some bodywork on rear panel and left-front fender, otherwise ready for primer-paint. Mostly complete though missing random parts like seat cushions, generator, gauges, and other little odds/ends. Transmission and transfer case recently rebuilt (can’t verify though they shift fine and oil was clean). Engine rebuilt though I don’t know how much mileage or when. Cyl head needs new valves and guides since they rusted from sitting in damp environment. If you have questions please ask, email for quickest response. $1500 firm. You won’t find one in better condition.”
