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 “Jack of all Jobs” ad was publishing in the April 7, 1946, issue of the Sunday Star.

(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.

https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/kyle-1947-cj2a/6808496280.html
“Except for the battery all parts are there. Needs one new/used 31X10.5×15 tire too. Purchased it for a project but am moving from the country into the suburbs and don’t have a place for it. The original VIN plate is there and reads CJ2A 223340. Bought it from a gentleman that used it as a farm vehicle. Last time it was registered was in 1971. Would make for a great project or if you have the room, yard art. I really hate to part with it but it would be nice for someone to give it a life again.”
Eric shared this M-100 for sale. It still has its data plate.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/tro/6809640595.html
“I have decided to thin the fleet a little and have my Strick M100 military trailer for sale. The trailer is very complete and included correct reflectors, correct taillights, rear corner handles, NOS M100 chassis harness and intervehicular cable, intervehicular cable box, M100 lunette, landing leg and functioning brake mechanism. I the only part that I think is still needed is one of the safety chain hooks. As far as condition, the floor is a little thin at the very front of the trailer, so I am also including a donor M100 floor that can be used to patch the front. Obviously, a tailgate was cut and my plans were to repair it and return it to stock condition. Sorry to have to part with it, since I had planned on keeping, but need to let it go. Looking for $1200 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Needs some work. Given it has Oregon plates, it may need to be relicensed.

“1940s model Willys Jeep

In the March 2015 Inaugural issue of The Dispatcher Magazine, Bob Westerman wrote an article about Willys-Overland’s test of an Allison Transmission in an M-38 and the failure of that transmission to meet the needs of the military. The document below depicts WO’s effort to follow up that test with a second test, using M-38A1s and a slightly more robust automatic transmission. though improved, this transmission still did not meet the needs of the military, as the below report highlights.
