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 .
Body has some rust.

“1947 CJ 2A Willys flat fender jeep, clean, no rust, runs good, everything works, most mechanical has been reconditioned.”
Roger Martin shared this tour of Jimmy Strauss’ jeep shop.
While doing some research for my upcoming book, I found a wide-ranging, long post that touches on the issues surrounding the clean up after WWII. There are several photos that include jeeps, but mostly it’s about the challenges of collecting unexploded ordnance, recycling endless salvage, and repurposing made-for-war items.

May be a nice build. More pics would be great.

Disassembled to have entire frame, tub(new chanels!), engine compartment, engine block (all components), new rims painted in simple, classic black & original Army olive drab. New seats covers.

Lots of time, effort & $$$! put in to it, including the transmission being rebuilt. Can provide more specs to serious buyers. All reasonable offers considered. The right price will also allow for me to share in shipping costs, if needed. Will have a rebuild title. Serious buyers only, no low ballers & don’t need assistance selling it.
Staring bid is $2500.

“Genuine Willys Overland Jeep M38 Army Military issue 1951
This little Willys M38 has been painted blaze hunter orange but under that it still wears its original army olive drab green! Does not have glass in the windshield frame. Jeep still retains much of its original attire including: seats, wheels, tires, blackout lights, fuel tank, tail-gate, bumper, bumperettes, serial plate, and many other small items that usually get stripped after 66 years. Even the US 5 gallon gas can is 1951!
The tub itself is actually in good shape, the only real serious cancer resides under the gas tank as pictured. It’s has a seam split in that area that was created for drainage. Also, a few holes punched out with a screwdriver in the storage compartment for drainage.
This jeep does NOT include an engine, but I have a complete working Willys L134 flat-head 4 cylinder engine that could be included with the sale. Please let me know if this is something you would be interested in adding.
I currently do not have the title, the lady I bought it from lost it in her house?? She did give me a photograph of the title.
Over-all this army Jeep is a great candidate for a restoration project! These Jeep’s are legends, they worked hard for the soldiers who fought, bled and died for freedom…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Lots of mods and parts.

This morning I fly to Richmond, Virginia, for six days to help my cousin with her house remodel. So, I will likely be less responsive to emails and questions. But, worry not, as I have plenty of posts prepped.
Ann’s recovery continues to go well, but it’s a slow process. Hopefully, she’ll try not to do too much while I’m gone.
How about his neat 1943 photo from the National Air and Space Museum!
The photo’s caption: “View of four U. S. Coast Guard firefighters dressed in white asbestos suits with helmets and face plates, two riding in a jeep, the other two on the high pressure water pump and hose it is towing, jeep also carries carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, Hall PH-3 in right background, water in left background, 1943.”

(01/29/2019) Abe is selling his M-38. 
“1952 M-38 95% restored. If you are looking for a fun collector car, or if you like to have people wave as you drive down the road, this is the jeep for you.
M38 was a Korean War era Jeep that was only in production for 2.5 years. Original Body tub. All wires redone front to back. New gauges, gauge cluster, exhaust, fuel lines, fuel tank, brakes, new original wheels, new tires, upholstery, windshield, windshield seal, pintle hook, antenna, starter, solenoid, carburetor rebuild, new air intake, pioneer gear (axe/shovel). I have original data plate, and paint for touch up. This is great in a parade or to advertise your business!
I have clean title, so you dont have to worry about inspection or anything.
The only thing not original on this jeep is that it was converted to 12 volt (regular battery works) and we added seat belts and turn signals, and a horn that makes a fun sound.
I have had in the family for 30 years. Only selling, because I am tired of having too much stuff and I just dont drive it enough to enjoy it like I used to.
NO TRADES, I do not need help selling. Cash or verifiable cashiers check. I have title and Im ready to sell. Buy it before I change my mind!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
