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 .

“This 1945 Army Jeep with Willys trailer was meticulously restored by my uncle Erv.
From what I remember, he did a ground up restoration in the 1990’s and paid attention to detail. I do know he added and electric fuel pump a few years ago.
Erv was a mechanic in the army in the late 1950’s and always love military vehicles, this jeep was his pride and joy. I don’t think he ever missed a Memorial Day & Fourth of July day parade with it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000:

“This is a project jeep, but it runs and drives so you can have fun with it while you work on it.
Needs rust repair, paint, transmission rebuilt, and everything else would enjoy attention. That said, it starts right up and drives fun. Has the original running gear (L134 flathead “go-devil” engine). Although generator has been swapped to an alternator. (12v system).
4wd works nice.
Comes with rare aluminum arctic top, with aluminum doors and accompanying windshield.”

Needs work, but looks pretty stock. Given those steps have survived it might not have been beat up too much.

1952 Canadian military M38 “jeep” built buy Ford of Canada.
A direct copy of the Willy’s American built M38 with a few custom features for the Canadian Government.

Runs great! Has a Jasper rebuilt engine, Starts right up and is quiet and smooth.
Brakes are in excellent shape. New master cyl and 90% plus brake shoes.
Excellent top and interior, Good Canadian made tires.
Drives and shifts well.
Comes with the correct Canadian built trailer.

Joel is selling this nice looking TC-3 trailer. You can contact him at canorisa@msn.com
Purchased this trailer in unrestored condition from a friend who had an avocado grove. The trailer had lots of surface rust and in very good condition…for it’s age. Trailer went through eight months of restoration. Took that long because I could not spend every day on it. The trailer was completely disassembled. Every bolt was taken off and replaced with grade 8 bolts. The entire trailer was professionally sandblasted, metal treated for rust and was powder coated fire cracker red. Because this trailer did not have a data plate, I have had this trailer dated as close to a 1946 or 1947 approximately year of manufacture. A correct reproduction data plate is in place but no serial number is stamped on it at this time. Every part has been gone over and or replaced. It has two brand new NDCC military tires on it that have about 5 miles on them as I have not used this trailer since restoration. Trailer has been kept inside a storage unit since restoration. Also, included with the sale, are three custom made, correct bows that were made for this trailer. That’s also including the hardware. The taillights are from a Model A type and the trailer wiring is brand new. Total invested on this restoration is over $3800. I spared no cost in this build. The pictures do no justice for this trailer. You would have to come see it to appreciate.
This is a very cool, rare historic trailer. The bed is in excellent shape and it comes with a 1/2″ rubber thick mat. Trailer has a swing down tailgate and tongue drop down leg and a four flat plug for the taillights. It also has a 2″ ball hitch. The bed is 6′ x 4′. These military trailers are getting harder and harder to find in this nice of a condition. I have title in hand. $3500 obo.
