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: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks good, though I’m not a fan of the side mirror.
“Really straight and clean jeep. Has the overhead valve engine and it runs very good. Has a set of doors that come with it. The only thing it might need is a better set of tires”
UPDATE2: ***SOLD***
UPDATE: Roberto forwarded this link about M-38CDNs.
Brian built this nice looking rig. Here’s a cool bit piece of history. This appears to be 1 of 2,135 Ford-of-Canada assembled M-38s. This particular jeep has some unique features, including the most unusual tailgate latching system I’ve ever seen (are those car seat belt latches?).
“This is a Ford M38 Jeep, built under contract to Ford from Willys in 1952 for the Canadian Army. About 2600 were built. I have rebuilt this entire jeep, it now has a rebuilt 283 Chevy engine with a turbo 350 tranny. The engine has been moved back in the frame about 7 inches, the firewall was moved back very tastefully to accomodate. The engine has been extensively modified with: .040″ overbore, new flattop pistons, a lumpy Crane cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, Mallory distributor, Crane roller tip rocker arms and lots of chrome of course! The tranny was rebuilt, has a stock convertor and a mild shift kit, the jeep is so light it will chirp the tires in second gear! This Jeep handles extremely well and goes like a scared cat! A Griffin 5 row aluminum rad keeps the little beast cool.
The rear axle is an ’86 S10 unit that has been narrowed. Its running 3:42 gears and Moser axle shafts, the axle has been narrowed. The front axle is from an ’88 jeep Cherokee and has been narrowed too, it has 11″ disk brakes. Rims are American Racing ‘Slider’ 15×8 and 15×7 with BFG rubber 21570R15 and 25560R15. The axles have been narrowed so that the tires both stick out past the fenders the same amount front and rear.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay **SOLD**
It also appears to have a special plaque, which I assume is related to it’s former life as a fire department jeep.
“My 1955 Willys Jeep 4X4… Former Chicago Fire Dept Vehicle, always stored inside, original condition, motor rebuilt, new carb., and lots of other new parts… New tires, top a few years old, interior very nice, I have a new battery as the old one is weak… I am selling my little blue baby because I was in a Traffic Accident & broke my Back, my Pelvis, suffered Severe Head Trauma & Whiplash caused by hitting a car that made a left hand turn in front of us, we were traveling at 40 MPH, I was a passenger & my Airbag DID-NOT Deploy… The Jeep has been stored in my garage for 2 years & I can no longer drive it due to the accident… I DO-NOT have to give it away, I don’t need the money & have a 21 year old Son that would love to have it… Come take a look, it is being sold as-is, as-shown, ask questions, NO_RESERVE – the HIGH BIDDER wins!!!

“1951 Willys Wagon. Was in the 1990 movie “Waiting for the Light” – driven home and parked after that and never moved again. Appears to be missing radiator at this time. Has been undercover since the 80’s that I can remember. Interior is in original state. Exterior was painted for the movie.”

“You are looking at/bidding on a 1963 Jeep FC-150 in excellent condition. I am selling this for a very good friend of mine who is not exactly computer literate! Please feel free to ask any questions at all that you may have about the vehicle, and I will relay them in a timely manner.
He has owned this Jeep for over 25 years and has taken very good care of it. It was re-painted three years ago, and has been garage kept ever since. (Over $3k invested) (It’s been garage kept for almost 20 years) The seats were re-upholstered just last summer to the tune of $750. The only issue with the vehicle is that the speedometer stopped working in March. It has only been driven four or five times since then, and therefore the mileage on the odometer is only about 100 miles off.
-This model is the 4 cylinder (134 CI) 3 speed transmission with a 2 speed transfer case.
-It has a PTO driven 8,000 pound winch that is fully functional (Ramsey)
-Good windshield with no cracks or chips at all.
-The plumbing and undercarriage for a plow is on the Jeep, but no plow is included with the sale. (Previous owner plowed with it about 30 years ago)
-4 Brand new Hercules tires with less than 50 miles on them. (Purchased 3 weeks ago)
-Vehicle is 100% ready to turn key and go.”
UPDATE: ** Sold ** Was listed at $4300
This appears in great shape.
“1950 Willys Jeep. This vehicle is all original with the exception of the rims and the roll bar (the roll bar can be easily removed as it is bolted in). It has had a recent brake job and runs great. It burns no oil and goes down the road quite nicely. The body is very solid, there is no rust anywhere. It also includes a 6 foot plow and the original rims. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500

Steve reports on the Ouray 4th of July Festival. Learn more at the Forward Forum. See all the pictures here.
“Here is Craig and Jason’s big day in Ouray (You-ray), Colorado. It’s the mountain town’s signature event of the year, The Fourth Of July. They asked Craig to bring his restored San Juan Mountain Tour Truck to join in their parade.
Jason found one of the other original tour Jeep Forward Control trucks and surprised them with twins. He just finished the restoration just last week and headed strait for Ouray. Jason’s truck has the yellow signs that say, “Think.”
This links you to the Town’s website describing their 4th of July Festivities. Here are photos of the Two coolest FC trucks ever restored joining their parade. The red FC trucks came from the states of Missouri and Texas to join the reunion in Colorado. They even went on a trail ride across the old routes where the trucks carried tourists through the beautiful San Juan Mountains of Southern Colorado. What a cool experience; I wish I could have been there.”

“M422A1 Mighty Mite, I bought this little mite to restore but now have to sell it because my situation has changed. This little Mite runs well and does not smoke. The transmission shifts easily and has no problems. The drive line is smooth and quiet. The body is strait and has no bondo or body filler. This would be an easy restore as most of the work is done already. Now for the bad, the brakes do not work ( need bleeding ), the windshield needs glass and the lights need to be checked. Also needs seat covers. I am unaware of any other items that is needed to make it a good driving piece of military history. There are not too many of these left.
From January 1960 to January 1963 American Motors Corporation (AMC) delivered about 4000 “Mighty Mites” to the United States Marine Corps for use in Vertical Envelopment Operations [i.e. airborne/ parachuting]. The 4×4 has a 4-speed manual transmission, is powered by an air-cooled aluminium V4 engine, and was designed to haul 850 pounds while pulling 1000 pounds in a trailer. With dimensions of 107″x60″, it has a 65″ wheelbase, and a fueled weight of 1750 pounds.”
