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 $12,800.

“1963 M38A1 Military Jeep & matching Trailer. Jeep runs and drives great. New Top, New Tires, New seat covers, new rebuilt starter. Steering wheel has since been changed to quick release, blackout convoy lights, map light & road lights. Being a ‘63 you don’t need to wear a seatbelt but one has been added to passenger side for Grandkids. 4×4 works perfectly with 3 speed transmission (also has high & low range). 2 new batteries (a year old) – runs with original 24 volt systems (all but the windshield wipers – changed to electric 12 volt). Horn added. 5 gallon Jerry Can.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Bill shared this nice looking M-38A1. The jeep’s supposed to have only 4850 miles on it, but given the engine was likely pulled and painted (and rebuilt?) at some point, I find that claim hard to believe. Perhaps they are miles after engine rebuild? There are a few other clues that body parts were repainted as well at some point.
“1955 M38A1 Willys Jeep ONLY 4,850 original miles! I’ve had a couple of these and this one drives amazing. It is super complete with all of the knickknacks even the original 50 cal gun mount as you can see in the pictures ! Currently registered, clean clear CA title in hand.
Underwater hurricane engine !
It runs drives steers stops great all 4×4 has been tested and works great as well. Drives very nice for its age! no rust issues it is solid inside and out, you won’t be disappointed with this one ! I do have a original soft top side windows and soft doors, the doors and side windows are in pretty good shape but the soft top will need a little bit of work or replaced. This jeep is located in Yucaipa California .”
UPDATE: Still Available.

(04/27/2017) Blaine spotted this ex-fire jeep. Engine is stuck at this time.
“Clear SD title. Tires are 90% and jeep is pretty complete. Front bumper and some other odds and ends missing. The engine was stuck when I bought it so I pulled the spark plugs and put some PB blaster in the cylinders to work on freeing them up. Jeep has matching body number to vehicle data plate. Has correct military motor. Some rust in the usual places and a few small spots were cut out in the bed where a fire dept had a water tank mounted. Also have roll cage included, but not pictured. I was going to restore this back to military appearance, but honestly have too many projects so I’m selling it for what I have into it. Here is your chance to own a genuine military army jeep!”
Looks solid.

“AZ and CA owned, Can sit for 6 months and starts in seconds. Drives great, 4 wheel drive works, sounds good with no smoke or leaks.
Early 1953 Willy’s had 3 features that later months and years did not have. Hinged Grill Welded Fender seem 4 Straps on Battery cover
Has back seat not shown in pictures 44,392 miles Comes with an after market steel Roof, Doors and Windows that bolts on.
Someone that knows M38a1’s will enjoy seeing this one. Had the 12 volt conversion, but the rest is very original.
Gauges for gas and voltage are not working well Seats are old Suspension looks original (meaning rubber is failing) I had fun, now someone else will. Clean Title Licensed in CA No Smog needed”
