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 .
This looks nice enough, but if you look at the pic under the driver’s side it has a piece of channel welded to a body mount. That seemed odd to me.
“Wow its very hard to call any Military truck a NUMBER ONE,but this stunning 1954 Willys M38A1 is pretty close, they never even left the factory like this! You could eat your dinner off of her and with a RUST FREE body and 11,366 miles from new she is very rare too! So in the spirit of a real auction she is for sale at NO RESERVE! But because quality always makes good money, she will not go cheap, but you will love showing her! Find another show worthy 1954 M38A1 that will actually get a new owner at the end of auction!!!! BID NOW! Its your only chance!”

“This is a 95% restored 1953 M38-A1. It cranks, runs, and drives like a new one. The body is perfect. All it needs to be 100% is new canvas seat cushions, top, and top bows. Come and drive it and you’ll be hooked. For a nearly 60 year old vehicle, it is amazing. I am asking $7500.00 or interesting trade”
“Outstanding project 99% complete only missing fuel tank. Motor was rebuilt at one time but it has sat for a few years now so will need work. email or call for more info.”
This sports custom Yale Fire Department seats. It’s just a nice little extra on a M-715 Fire truck that needs restoration.
“1 & 1/4 ton Jeep Kaiser with a Mercury 350 engine (yes it is a converted boat motor with headers). It was in running condition when parked two years ago. 1968 model. Originally purchased new by an Oklahoma Fire department and has been in their possession ever since then. Was still used periodically until two years ago when parked (indoors). Will likely need a battery, new fuel, some brake work…..not really sure what else. Tires have a lot of tread and are holding air just fine. I heard the engine turn over with a jump just the other day but it wouldn’t stay running. Needs maintenance before running well on it’s own again. It was said that this could compete with the best rock crawlers around. I haven’t personally seen it in action or driven it myself, just re-selling it to pay some bills. I’m sorry in advance, I don’t have any historical mechanical maintenance information for it and won’t be able to answer any technical questions. You’re basically buying what you see in the photos. You likely know more about these than I do….”
I bought this wooden puzzle jeep the other day. It came assembled, so of course, I took it apart. It turns out that putting it together wasn’t as easy as I thought, but I did get it together. You can see me celebrating my ‘victory’ (well, that’s the fuzzy version of me — I am celebrating no-shave November)
I ran across a Salt Lake Tribune article that includes this militarized CJ-2A decoration. The article shares a little bit about Salt Lake Valley’s Grogan’s War Surplus Store. If you are in Salt Lake and have some time to kill, drop by and get your picture taken with the jeep and send it in to me! I’m sure I’ll get down there at some point and do that too :-). The store is located at 5000 S. Redwood Road and marked with a Sergeant Missile at one corner.
Jim wrote to tell me a little about Bruce Wadlin and his Florida 4 Wheel Drive & Truck shop. The sixty-nine year old Bruce runs the shop himself, selling “OBSOLETE JEEP & Willys Parts”. Jim grew up with him and said that Bruce has been buying and selling new (old) parts since the 1970s. Bruce is pretty old school, still using only a phone or fax machine. He doesn’t even advertise. So, Jim thought he would place ads on Craigslist and contact eWillys.
The shop is located at 6110 17th Street E, Bradenton, FL. The phone number is (941) 756-7844. Bruce generally keeps hours from keeping hours from 11am until 5PM daily (though the ad says noon to 6pm).
