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: Was $4500. **SOLD**

This doesn’t run, but it looks pretty stock. It might make a good resto project.
“This 1952 M38 Willys Jeep has had 1 owner since 1987. It has been stored in a garage for the last 10 years and was running when parked. All parts are there including some new parts. Just needs a little TLC.”
I’m not sure there is much value here.

Well, there’s some valve here, but hard to say just how much.
“M38 Military jeep. Needs resto. Has ALL drive parts. Missing radiator, air cleaner, battery. Was convered to a 12v system. Motor cranks/not locked up. Too much of a project for me. Have an extra hood and have the windshield. Glass is good.”
Here’s a cool shot of a M-38 off Flickr by Turbo-Weasel. There are others as well. Click on this link to see them all.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
The coloring of the image is strange enough that I’m wondering if this is really the jeep for sale. Though listed as a “Willys US Army Jeep”, the body suggests a M-38 while the grille suggest a civvy of some type.

(04/20/2011) This was completed by the folks at Vintage Offroad. I can’t say I’m a big fan of the yellow steering wheel.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller provides a long, detailed list about this jeep. It also includes a food storage box (grub box). I think that is a custom top.
“It has a 4-speed gearbox with the lowest gear ratio of 6:1. The 4-cylinder, 2.3 liter Ford engine was rebuilt less than 5,000 miles ago. The Saturn overdrive was rebuilt about 1,500 miles ago. It was purchased by the current non-smoking owner in 1977 and complete maintenance records are included. The jeep is fully operational, licensed through January 2012 and can be driven as is . . . visit the bay ad to learn more.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2650.
This might be a good price.
