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 .
Only one pic. There might be value here.

“57 M38A1 and 63 Willy’s both use to run. Now been sitting. Both rough projects. $3500 each. No titles. OBO”
UPDATE: David spotted some 2A tags on this rig, suggesting the title may be problematic.
Bill shared this Hemmings auction. It will be interesting to see what this fetches on Hemmings.

“This 1952 Willys Jeep M38A1 represents a military-spec example in highly presentable condition, with what the seller describes as a new canvas top and the Jeep’s original engine, which was reportedly built 275 miles ago. The Jeep is said to retain its correct 24-volt electrical system, with auxiliary batteries. Described as having been under current ownership for 15 years, the Jeep is reported to be “free of rust.””
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
This may be worth a look. It’s got the early grille and fenders.
“1953 Willys M38A1 Jeep. Runs and drives great! Clean title, and road legal. Original F134 engine and transmission, and 24V electrical system. Garage kept, and maintained.”
This is worth a look. It’s got the brake assist as well as the updates. Those front seats might be really comfy, but supportive jeep seats.

“This is a 1953 Jeep Willys M38A1. Selling for a friend. This is a previous parade vehicle that was registered in both Texas and Mexico. This vehicle is being sold as-is.”
Unclear how much value is here, but the CJ-5 has a ventilating windshield.

“Great jeep project. One has L head engine, one has SBC. There are two complete bodies. One has a title. Too many parts to list. Need to sell as a package deal.”
UPDATE: I missed the CJ-5 body. Ugh. Thanks guys!
Someone has swapped out the dash on this. I’m guessing it’s just a custom dash? It isn’t M-38A1 and doesn’t have a whole for a standard CJ-5 speedometer, though it does have a right side glove box.

“1953 Jeep, not sure if model or miles, runs great, drives and stops, 4wd works, good tires, has original seat frames, lights do not work and needs wiring work”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/19/2023) Justin, proprietor of Humble History Antiques, has this 24V M-38A1 for sale. Justin didn’t have much history on it, as it was his grandfather’s jeep. While the body is M-38A1, on the rear of the frame is a PTO bar, suggestion the chassis may be a CJ-5.
If interest, contact Justin via p# 978 447 4312 or email jhumble9 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).
Marvin’s got this USMC M-38A1 project for sale.
“I have an 1952 M38A1 project that I’m trying to pass on to someone else. I’m told it was a Marine Corp. Spec Jeep. The photos show the heavy undercoating and shovel supports as well as the shackles points for lifting.
It does not have a motor. Transmission , Transfer case and remainder of drivetrain is included. All the pictures show the condition. The floors are good and it does roll. There are some F-Head parts with it. There are door frames and top supports and seats. A large Galvanized fuel tank that’s in good shape. Some gauges are missing. It has been changed to some 12 volt wiring. The battery box in is good shape. The cover has been modified and does not have the 8 screws.
I want 3000.00 dollars for the Jeep. I can deliver if needed within a reasonable distance to be negotiated.”
Nothing fancy, but seems a good price. Unusual hood bump.
