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 .
At #36000, this is just early enough to have a column shift.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
It’s a solid GPW, but isn’t entirely stock. The jeep includes an air suspension.
“Posting my 1942 ford GPW in excellent condition. Military predecessor to the Willys jeep cj2a Purchased several years ago from a body shop owner in Maine who restored it. It is in excellent condition. Some improvements are the 12v conversion, and air suspension set up. You can ad air to raise/ lower the ride height. Also makes for a very comfortable ride. The paint (dark green) makes it look like civilian, and the floor has been replaced with diamond plate steel along time ago. Would not take much to get it back to military condition. It starts and drives fine. 4wd hi/lo work as they should. I have only driven it in parades and occasionally around the neighborhood since I have owned it. The jeep is in good as condition (although civilian style) as it could be with a perfect paint job and no rust at all. It is garaged and covered 100% of the time. My intention was to return to military style, but i have too many toys to give this one the attention it deserves. I never registered it this year, but I will soon and get a sticker so you know it will pass.”

It’s a solid looking M-38 with very little rust. I know the seller just washed this just before taking these photos. I don’t understand letting water sit in the jockey box underneath the seat and a few other rust prone places shown in the photos?
“1951 M38 Army Jeep – Original Condition – Runs and Drives – RUST FREE!
Has Current Title
This has to be the best M38 I have ever owned. Body is rust free and very straight. I have done a few things to this M38 to get it back on the road but without messing with its original condition. The following have been done for drivability and safety. 1. New brake shoes and wheel cylinders. 2. New rubber and S-shaped metal brake lines. 4. NOS master cylinder 5. New fuel sending unit (correct M38 one). 6. Complete wash of vehicle to remove about 1/2” of dust and other stuff that had accumulated on the M38 over the years of being in storage.
It runs and drives.

“I have a 1952 Willys Overland M-38 project jeep for sale. This is a great example of the last flat fender military jeep. Completely rebuilt engine has less than 10 miles on it. The jeep is very restorable, and is in good shape for being 60+ years old. Has been converted to 12V, and wears a hood from a CJ2A. Body has some patches, and jeep has been painted red. Comes with a older hard top (not military). This is a project, but is all there, and I have almost $2k in the engine alone. If interested I can send pictures, or better yet, contact me to come see it. I do have at least 6 original wheels, 4 other tires and new tubes to go along with it. Roll bar is just resting in place. I will consider trades that take up less space. Possibly an ATV, Enduro motorcycle, enclosed trailer, try me..”
According to this Canadian website, an M-38 restored by Kevin and Sharon Martin ‘wowed’ the crowd at North Bay’s Summer in the Park car show.
