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 should have a slat grille. It’s a mix of parts.
“This was the first year of the Jeep .Only 1,550 made in 1941 . This jeep served in WWII in the European theater. This jeep was restored and some parts have been updated..The motor ,trans,transfer case and Axles have been rebuilt in the last 3 years .Trailer is missing the landing leg.”
“This is a 1953 M38A1 Willys 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.”
Appears to have good restoration potential with some known history.
“1950 Willy’s M38. NOT RUNNING. All parts are there though. I bought it from the gentleman who brought it home from the Korean War after he served his time and bought it from the military. Clean title, in my name. My plan was to rebuild it (as I have done with a previous CJ2a) but other time commitments take priority. Engine turns over, as do the wheels. Not shown in the photos are the seats, gas tank, rear bench seat, windshield/glass and some other parts.”
“I have a completely restored 1952 M38 soft top military jeep for sale. Only have 2 left they’re selling like hot cakes. Everything on it is all original has a brand new paint job on it. Here’s a few pictures. Located off of International Airport Road. I’m asking $10,000 cash only sale please. I will not accept any kind of checks or anything. ”
“I have a 1962 Jeep Willy’s CJ6. Has a new rebuilt original 4 cylinder motor. (F134, I believe it was also called the Hurricane motor). Just picked it up from the mechanic today. Has a fairly recent tranny rebuild. It was rebuilt approx. 2 yrs ago. I would say less than 5K on the rebuild tranny. It would be a good daily driver or a great start to a complete restore. Body is in decent shape. The person I bought it from evidently used some putty to fill in some areas and it is starting to pull off. Pictures show the areas. I have the seat for the back but I was starting to fix some body areas and pulled it out along with the carpet. It also has a decent sound system, currently dismantled at the moment because I needed to build boxes for the speakers. It has a pto driven winch. Its a 3 speed with a splitter. 4X4 with locking hubs. Custom made front and rear bumper. As always have way more invested than what I am asking. In case you are wondering, because CJ6 aren’t very common, it is similar to the CJ5 except it has a 20″ longer wheel base. Any questions feel free to ask.”
“Willy,s M38A1, 1953 Army Jeep, Original with minor restoration, rebuilt motor, PTO winch with snatch block and chains, cold weather top, gas heater, shovel, axe, tool kit, two WW11 gun racks, one with canvas cover, signal lights installed with no changes to the original wiring. Ser # 38880”
This may be a good price. Might not take much to make it look even better.
“1953 M38A1 Military Jeep in nice condition.
I have owned this Jeep for around 20 years. Around 4 years ago, I had the dents and dings taken out, primed and painted by a local auto-body shop. I did not have them fully disassemble the jeep as that would have been a little too pricey for me. As such, the more hidden areas (like under the fuel tank) are not painted in Army green, nor was the underside of the vehicle. The paint was researched by the Surplus outfit in Oroville and that is where I purchased it. I have a gallon of it left for touch-ups or doing what was not done before.
There are several military gizmos still on the Jeep: It has a pintle hitch, the small black-out lights below the headlights, the canvas-bow brackets mounted on the side, several placards (in brass) showing the serial number, etc, several tie downs for a top and the shovel bracket under the hood.
The floors are (amazingly) rust free and the tool chest beneath the passenger seat is intact with only a small bit of rust. There is a bullet hole in the floor of the tool chest (?) that was there when I purchased it, but not in the lid. It’s something you can ponder over with your friends.
The Jeep needs a thorough ‘going-through’ to check and replace seals where necessary.
The bottom canvas on both front seats need to be replaced but the remainder is quite serviceable.
There is a rear seat bench, painted-to-match of the correct type and the canvas is there.
All 4 tires are military-type and show very little (if any) wear. There is a spare wheel and military-type tire or serviceable but older vintage. There is a painted-to-match roll that just hasn’t been re-installed after the painting.
The jeep starts, idles, runs and drives. I believe the engine (a 4 cylinder) is original and has a new fuel pump and tune-up around 3 years ago. The battery is old, but it starts and the lights work. It has been converted to 12V. The battery well is funky and could use some protective coating.
The speedometer, water temp and oil pressure appear to work. The fuel gauge does not.
