About eWillys
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.
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 .
Has an overdrive and appears to have some Allstate hubs.
“Great condition Jeep, its a real military model Willies. Original F Head 4 cylinder engine. Runs Excellent, starts excellent, drives excellent. No issues that would keep you from using it as a daily driver if you desired.
A Warn overdrive unit has been added. This allows higher speeds with lower RPM’s. Nice for running down the highway at 55 without the engine screaming at 4,000 RPM’s. Turn signals work. Brakes work. Starts very easy and runs great. Again, no issues at all.
Comes with full removable soft top and doors. Folding windshield mechanism works perfectly.”
“1955 Jeep willys in great shape . Has 2 fuel tanks, Has bigger ford 302 v8 motor with an automatic 4 speed tranny and exhaust that sounds good , lockers 33″ tires Soft top and also has a bikini top. Has rancho shocks Just had transfer case rebuilt and new gas tank installed $2400 bill. Cruises down the road at 60 mph and sounds good while doing it. Has a radio and cb, a large electric winch also. Don’t buy an expensive UTV that you cant drive down the road get in this thing with heat and radio. . ”
“This jeep is a great example of stock military jeep that needs some finishing touches, I’m going in another direction and don’t have the focus to complete what I started…”
“4 cylinder original Jeep. New copper radiator, new windshield, paint, carb. Antique tag. Many reinforced body and frame work. Motor runs great. Awesome paint job with clean detailing. Must see! New military tires.”
Craig spotted this one. It is mostly a CJ-5.The body is civilian also (side of the body is stamped “Jeep”), but it has an M-38A1 dash.
“Posting up my 1957 Jeep CJ. It’s a CJ-5 made by willys overland and is dressed up to look like an M38-A1 Which is the military version on this jeep model. I’ve owned it for a little over 2 years, the previous owner started a frame off restoration and was working toward the military theme but lost interest. I decided to source the rest of the parts and finish it off. It’s completely rust free and everything works. The 4cylinder motor runs great and the 3-speed manual transmission shifts well. The 4wheel drive works as well and has a high and low range with front manual locking hubs.
It has 5 good BFG AT/KOs and runs about 55mph down the road with no issues. Has brand new paint and decals and working lights and gauges. The only issues are the rear pinion seal leaks and the generator needs to be rebuilt. It runs fine without it I just keep a tender on the battery and never have a probkem. Comes with a dummy 50 Cal mounted in the back. I’m sure there’s a lot I’m missing but if you’re interested feel free to call or text and I can give you further details. This has been a great jeep and lots of fun just time to move on to something else. Looking to Get $9000 but will entertain reasonable offers if you’re a serious buyer”
“I have 2 M38A1 jeeps that have spent the last 20 years in a barn… These are being sold for parts as there isn’t any current paperwork available on them …Between the two of them there are enough good original parts to complete one jeep …The engines were good when put away, but appear to be stuck now…Both engine compartments are complete with the proper military carburetors, fuel pumps, air cleaners, fording valves / vent lines, and 24 volt waterproof electrical / ignition systems …The green jeep’s body is shot, but it has nice original military accesories… windshield, gas tank, spare tire carrier, front seat frames, etc… The yellow jeeps body is fair and will need a new front floor and other minor repairs. .I’m asking $3000 for the pair or may consider a really good offer… I also have other used M38A1 parts available, and may consider swapping for other military jeep parts MB GPW , M38, M38A1, MBT ,M100, M416, M151 .. The tires are old so the jeeps will need to be trailered to their new home … I can deliver locally ( 30 miles ) at no charge, and will consider delivering regionally for a reasonable cost…. Please contact me through Craigslist email first …”
