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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
It runs. It is only $1100. What more do you need to know?

(06/10/09) I’m unfamiliar with the types of 4×4 or jeep racing in Montana.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800. This looks like a great deal.
This looks like a nice M-38A1 for the price.
“1958 Willys Jeep. F134 four cylinder motor. Runs great. Good tires. Perfect for hunting. Email me with questions. If you want more photos I can provide those for you. Clear title. I am selling because I would like to buy a class C motor home. If you have a motor home I would consider working out some sort of partial trade.
Price Reduced: $1800.00”

The flattie looks to be a M-38, so the year should be 1950 or later. The other I’m guessing to be a M-38a1. It’s a bizarre parking job.
“The red jeep ran when i got it 5yrs ago. The drive train worked good too. It has a title. The yellow jeep has the motor taken out of it and is in the back of it same with the front clip. The drive train is good on it though. It dosent have a title. I was gana take the two and make on nice one. And take the rest of the other one and make a trailer for it. I will bring them to denver for you for an extra 300. If you have any questions feel free to ask @ mrdobrinski@gmail.com”

This appears to be a package deal. It looks like this ’49 has a CJ-2A windshield.

Maybe it has an overdrive? I don’t see a great deal of value otherwise.
“Rare 1959 Willys M38A1 Jeep, has 109 hourse pinto motor needs clutch and brakes have most of the parts for the brakes. Just have not had time to put them togather. Has roll cage. or trade for a 4×4 toyota”
This appears to be a good price for those interested in early M-38a1s.
Jenn asked me to post these. She wrote, “We are asking $1500.00 for both. I would rather not part them out. If bought together they would have a complete restored M38A1.
The green one has the original engine and converted to 12 volt. 4 inch lift, and locking front tires. Tires in good shape and have 1 brand new spare.
The sanded one is the better body. All rust spots have been patched and welded up. Floor has been rhino lined. Original tires and have 6 spares with tubes. This one has the original seats. We are located in Lompoc California. Email would be gtimesxu@yahoo.com or jennburmester@rocketmail.com”
Dan pointed out this ad to me. I have always liked these ‘flattie’ type fenders for the CJ-5. I’ve never know if they were only an aftermarket product or came stock on some jeeps? Nice aluminum slot rims, too.
“my dad has a 1953 cj 5 jeep it has primer on and been lifted needs a motor set up for 350 chev or 327 has heavy duty bumper nice alum. wheels, take and finish your way for great rock crawler.. his # is 208-687-8907 or cell 208-691-8891 best to talk to him on phone , he knows more about then I do ask for Bob. ”
This appears to be a very good price on a running M-38a1. The rust doesn’t appear bad in the pics. I’d get some new seats covers (see Jim for some good prices) and you’d be set.
“This is a real M-38 army jeep, it purs like a kitten, the brakes and everthing work good, it has the army numbers still on it, just needs to be restored, or can be registered and driven every day, email or call 603-231-9169.”
UPDATE: Was $20,000.**SOLD** According to the IMCDb.org, the only M-38A1 used during the movie can be seen here and was only involved in a minor clip. So, I would suggest reviewing the movie as a first step ….
This is an interesting jeep. One of the more unusual features, according to the sales blurb, is that it’s rigged to run on propane to reduce exhaust fumes, because it was run on a closed set for much of the filming. I have to wonder if it’s not a trademark violation for the seller to be using the Indian Jones label as shown …
“THIS IS THE ACTUAL 1954 WILLYS M38 THAT WAS USED IN THE MOST RECENT “INDIANA JONES” MOVIE. ANY CAR OR PROP USED IN A SPIELBERG MOVIE ARE NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE TO GET BECAUSE SPIELBERG WANTS THEM TO BE DESTROYED SO NO ONE CAN PROFIT OFF OF THEM. EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE ONE OF THESE RARE PROPS SLIPS THROUGH THE CRACKS….”
