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.
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: Still Available. See updated rear body patch reference at the bottom.
(05/12/2020) It’s missing a bumper and has a number of extra holes.

“Awesome fully restored military jeep. Runs and drives, comes with all newly painted parts etc. new interior also”
Here’s the M-38 rear body patch referenced by Tom:
Upper rear corners don’t have a body seam running all the way up.
Patched or Replacement ??? Let me know.
Kurt, my guess is that the body’s been ‘restored’. I’m basing that on the number of extra holes atop the wheel wells and a few extra around the side. To me it suggests the exterior was repaired and smoothed, but the interior was left alone.

There was a military work order to reinforce that area of the body because of the weight of the arctic tops. A plate was welded in that corner to reinforce the body. There is a description and photo in the M38 reference guide by Ryan Miller. Apparently not all of them got the extra support, but many did.
Thanks Tom. Again, another tidbit of information I didn’t know. I’ve added the image you sent to the bottom of the post.

Thanks for the information. I picked up a M38 early this year and have a lot to learn. When I saw it hit eWillys I thought it would be gone quickly. Luckily the add had no photos.
