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: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
One of the strange mods is the installation of the fuel neck in the floor of the rear cargo area. Lots of pics on eBay.

Norb purchased this basketcase and is working to transform it into a custom wagon. However, he is puzzled about the grille.
Norb writes, “I own a 1953 wagon that was a plow truck out in Wyoming for most of it’s life. It came to me with a Ford Y-block motor. The frame and suspension were shot, but the body is pretty good. I chopped the top and put it on a shortened Dodge Dakota chassis with a 318 V8 and 5spd. trans. Should make a nice little hotrod. I know it was a “Jeep salad” when I got it. It had been hit in the front and repaired many years ago. I cannot ID the grill though. The side aprons have parking lights on them. The air intake hole in mine looks factory, but they are usually below the parking lights.”
I asked Dan for his input. He wrote, “It looks like someone added a heater inlet hole to an early wagon grill (which were solid and didn’t have a hole) and then added extra marker lights also in a different position than factory. The heater inlet hole looks both larger and higher than what the factory added to the later wagons. I’m not sure when the factory added the heater inlet hole, but my beat guess is late 1950s.”
So, has anyone seen a factory wagon grille with the intake hole where Norb’s is?
For comparison, here is an image search for 1953 Wagon grilles
I have posted this comic as a reminder that the term Jeep is found in conjunction with planes during world war two. I suppose I need to track that a little better, because there are a variety of literary references to “Jeep Planes”. There is no information about the comic in the description.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
There might be some value here.
“This Willys was running and driving when parks a few years ago. Bet you never heard that one before. I didn’t think so. Ok, here’s the deal. I picked up this Jeep a few weeks back because I wanted to get rid of the Buick V6 in my flat fender and put it back original. This one looked like a good candidate. Well, almost.
First of all, its an M38 and while not the best candidate of restoration, it is a little to good to part out without trying to save it as a whole vehicle. Secondly, the engine was stuck. It had been sitting under a shed for about 5 years so I didn’t anticipate it being real serious, so I pulled the head just to see. The pictures pretty much tell the story, but I’ll describe. The good is there is no ring groove and probably a light honing will clear the cylinders up. But it is going to have to be torn down. #3 piston has a couple of broke pieces missing out of it. Don’t exactly know how or why, but it is what it is.
Other than that, its a pretty complete old Jeep. All the engine parts are in place, except the conversion to 12v. generator. Nice windshield. Good seat frames. Study the pictures. The tag on the dash is definitely not original and I don’t recognize the number as an M38 number but there is an ID. This is BILL OF SALE ONLY!!! Please don’t expect anything more. I won’t try to get a title don’t even ask. ”
