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 .
Still needs some work done.

“1/4 ton Willy’s jeep M38A1 Needs interior finishing, canvas and partial fuel system works. Runs good Has cut out windshield, for gun ***Been converted to 12v electrical system”
Has a “reckless” windshield.
Hi Muley,
That’s the first time I’ve heard that term used for the windshield. Do you have more info on that?
– Dave
The M38A1C had the 106MM recoilless (reckless) smooth bore gun. When stowed the barrel laid between the windshield halves. An absolute beast i’ll wager.
For what it’s worth, it seems to have a non-standard battery box lid.
Also, the early style front fender with the angled joint, which would be earlier than 1958.
Miley, thanks for the explanation.
JohnB, the battery box setup is odd for sure, I can’t remember seeing one like that.
And, it has the hinged grille .. I must have been in a hurry! I’d bet this is 52/early 53. There were other “Cs” made this early. Perhaps the body was redone at some point, because it is missing some of the holes for the forward spare tire mount, the passenger side mounted jerry can, and the holes for mounting the gun itself at the rear corners. However, it seems more likely someone modified an early standard M-38A1, cut the tailgate, and mounted the windshield. But, why go to all that work, only to have a weird cowl lid? We’ll likely never know … Here’s what a “C” should look like: https://www.m38a1.com/Models/models_106.htm
