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: **SOLD** Was on ebay
There looks like some value here. The tailgate shouldn’t be stamped jeep though.
“No frills, just a nice reliable vehicle that was used for hunting every year. Has waterproof ignition, 2 extra wheels, jeep stamped on tailgate, was licensed by CO Nat Guard in ’53. After being parked for some time, would need fuel system cleaned out, but ran like a top when parked.”
There may be some value here.

UPDATE: Was $12,500. **SOLD**
(08/24/2012) This looks well maintained.
“This is an original military Jeep from the Korean war years. Excellent condition, fun to drive! This is the real deal!
I’ve been putting the final touches on cleaning up this Jeep, which the pictures will demonstrate is in great condition.
I purchased the vehicle from a family in Waukesha, Wisconsin that used it for a family drives. Vehicle was owned by a collector in Minnesota prior to that, and by another in Wisconsin before him. Purchaser will get all information I have on the vehicle, but I’m only as far back as 1992.
The Jeep comes with the axe, shovel, radio and power supply, 1” manilla bumper rope, canvas, seat belts, and ORIGINAL 1952 M38A1 Operator’s Manual, as would have been with the vehicle in a military motor pool. Vehicle is still the original 24volt electric system.
I hope that someone else can enjoy this vehicle as much as I do. I highly recommend getting one (like this) that is already restored, because if you try to buy one of these 5-9k ones, you will end up putting a ton of money into it.”
I’m not sure what the “military pack” is.
“1952 WILLY JEEP CJ3A MILITARY PACK RUNS AND DRIVE GREAT ONLY NEED TO RIDE IS BLEED THE BRAKE SYSTEM.THIS JEEP I SOLID AND 90 % RUST LESS. THIS ANTIQUE JEEP IS VERY ORIGINAL IT HAS A GUN HOLDER AND BATTERY PORT IN CENTER CONSOLE GREAT PIECE TO RESTORE THE 4 CYLINDER FLAT HEAD ENGINE RUNS AWESOME AND STAR AS ONES.IT HAS A CLEAN FLORIDA TITLE.”

UPDATE: Was $4600.**SOLD**
(08/22/2011) This looks in good shape. I bet that it hasn’t ever been restored, as it has a nice patina about it.
“1952 Military M-38 Willys. Excellent Condition Second Owner Runs Excellent 4×4 Contact Number ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500
(03/24/2012) This looks like a good jeep.

This year’s Bantam Jeep Festival will be held in Butler, Pennsylvania. This works out well for Ann and I, because we’ll be out that way beginning in mid May and had planned to be in Buffalo June 8th. So, a trip to Butler should work perfect!

No, these aren’t real. They are mockups using a photoshop posted by David Mosley on Flickr. Still, they look intriguing.

I’m assuming the seller means $6500 (listed at $65,000)? Looks good.
