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 promising and includes a rear PTO. In order to contact the seller, you’ll have to click on the “send note” at the bottom of the Craigslist ad.

(11/06/2013) It needs some work, but the jeep itself looks solid.
“Nice Willys CJ-2A. Serial numer indicates late 1946. Paper work has 1947. Has an original 1945 L134 “Go-Devil” 4 cylinder MB engine. The “Willys” script name on windshield, under passenger seat and on tail gate. Runs but gas tank sludge needs cleaned out.

Windshield is Plexiglas and needs replaced. Great shape. Garage kept – No rust but dusty.”
I would be easy to make fun of the use of ‘planes’ in the below text, but I make enough mistakes that I won’t cast any stones. However, I didn’t know there were plains in Lake Havasu. The year is clearly incorrect.
“Jeep Jeep! What a catch. Reel it in. 51 Willys from the planes of Lake Havasu and Wyoming. This very peppy classic Jeep was one of the first civilian Jeeps available in America. Fully restored to its original glory with a lift in the springs, stock Hurricane motor rebuilt and the L Head Flowmaster exhaust. Also comes with original hardtop. This Jeep has had no rust issues. Runs like a dream”
Steve’s got his rebuilt M-38 for sale. Check out the last picture on this post to see how this jeep looked when he started work on it. Well done!
“Take a look at this completely rebuilt beautiful 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial # MC33376
This jeep was rescued from a gentleman in Virginia Beach, Virginia in 2012. It underwent a frame off rebuild. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have rebuilt/restored approx. 22 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had been used heavily during it’s active life and was in desperate need of rebuild. (I’ve included two before pictures towards the bottom of the listing) The frame and drive train were complete but needed some repair work. The engine is a correct MC engine made by Willys of France in excellent shape – it runs great and is very powerful. I had to replace the tub with a reproduction tub, but most of the other components are original Willys. (i.e. fenders, hood, grill, windshield, seat frames). The jeep has its military components de-commissioned – i.e. water fording gear removed, and 24 volt converted to 12 volts, civilian WO carburetor .
Everything has been gone through on this jeep and everything has been sand blasted, cleaned, repainted, or replaced with new, NOS, or repro parts.
Chassis and Drive Train: four new leaf springs , new shackles, new shocks, new axle bumpers, frame stripped/blasted and painted, some components repaired (used some similar CJ3A parts) new front bumper, new u-joints, new clutch and bearing, new seals and bearings on tranny and transfer case which were drained and cleaned repainted, and all fluids and gaskets replaced, new e-brake pads, hardware, and cable, new engine/tranny mounts, new brakes including all lines and hoses, new master cylinder, four new wheel cylinders. New steering wheel, new rear bumperettes, authentic pintle hook. Five vintage 7.00×16 NDCC tires (they are older but in great shape)on blasted and painted 16” original rims.
“1952 M38 A1 Military Jeep, 36K original miles, brand new NOS non-directional tires, NOS canvas installed, new brake overhaul, includes original trailer and additional parts vehicle, comes with a gallon of NOS OD paint and canvas for top and doors.

(03/22/2013) It’s missing some drain holes and has the incorrect bumper, but looks solid otherwise.
