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 .

“1946 Willys for sale, Good Engine, Transfercase, and Differentials, Transmission needs work. Only 1462 Built, Classic, needs TLC,… ,make offer, will trade for Dirtbike/Enduro”
(04/25/2013) The paint job certainly is unusual, but it looks solid. The description suggests the seller is confused the CJ-5 with the CJ-3B?
“This Willys is great fun to drive and sport around. It has street tires because it was used in parades and car shows. It would run about the desert better with fat tires. 53 is the year that Kaiser bought the company after the Koren war and started making Willys for civilians which is why there is the bigger engine and higher hood. You are buying a piece of history.”
(05/11/2014) Appears to have the wrong data plates. Looks real good.

“This is a 1953 M38A1 military Jeep.
Condition: Stored indoors, Pristine, Immaculate
This Jeep is a turnkey, fully restored military classic. It is street legal, fun to drive, turns heads everywhere, and is a hit at parades, shows, rallies, etc!
I am selling this to make room for another project.
It has 48,800 miles on it. It has a full canvas, shovel, and much more.
This particular Willy’s has been restored to its former glory using only authentic parts.
Beautiful sounding engine! All seats and canvas in great condition.
Comes with original User’s Manual, Supply Manual, and Maintenance Manual.
I have receipts, work orders, and maintenance logs and have included several spare parts as well!
Please view my attached photos.”
(05/26/2013) “This 1954 Willys M38-A1 Jeep (Korean war era) was completely restored a few years ago to nearly like-new condition in olive drab with matching canvas upholstery and top. Attention to detail throughout. Extra clean frame, no rust, this jeep is a true eye catcher and a lot of fun to drive around town. Complete engine tune-up done approximately 12 months ago. Engine runs very strong on 4×4 or 4×2. This jeep drives very well, as a correctly restored and mechanically sorted 1/4-Ton 4×4 should. It has all the right military jeep stuff, including decals, combat lights, jerry can and spare. Door safety straps and reproduction of the original maintenance and operation manual are included. The Jeep has a clean California title.”
(11/27/2014) Looks like this might be worth a look.

“The floor has some rusts along the front, but overall the trailer is solid and useable. It needs fenders, and a hitch and new tires. But it has its original Bantam tag, which looks to be SERIAL 2xx6. According to the owner I bought it from, it hasnt been registered in decades. No title. Bill of Sale only. Sold as-is. You’ll need to pick up with a truck (full-size bed) or a utility trailer.”
