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 doesn’t look in good shape. It’s missing a motor.
“1948 Jeep CJ 2 – Stock #1499
Good one to rebuild. This is a CJ 2 with the 4 speed transmission and 4 wheel drive. Motor is out but is included as is the steering column. Has some floor rust and cowl rust but very repairable. Good North Dakota Title and delivery is available.”

Steve spotted this clock. Someone has one of these listed for $799 on eBay.
“New Jeepster clock still in Jeep box. Doesn’t have a mounting base.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
Walter forwarded this link. It looks like part of the door has been indented or punctured, but that’s where the gas filler is located. There’s a much nice one at Barrett Jackson for less that includes a trailer: http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=624&aid=283
“1964 Kaiser Jeep 151A1. $12,000OBO UNCUT”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
The tub appears in good shape. This looks like a light fiberglass model, maybe acme or AJs?
“Fiberglass jeep tub $1200 o.b.o”
Thanks to Warren for forwarding this lead. Perhaps it is more accurate to call these mini-jeep trains, but just outside Freeport, Maine, there is a CJ-5 and CJ-7 that still pull tourists in a tourist-trailer around the sand (which I think they call ‘narrated coach tours’). You can learn more about them here. I managed to find a few photos of them on Flickr. It looks like there are two different coaches.

Jack Thompson was willing to share this vintage image. It shows a Willys truck in front of Mutts in Myrtle Beach. If you’d like a copy for some reason, email me.

Gerald spotted this jeep ring sold by Fast Eddie’s Jewelry. You can find them on Facebook. They will custom make all kinds of rings. Hmm .. not sure I have a category for this topic!

Nick spotted what appears to be a very original CJ-3A. This may be a very unique find.
“This jeep has been in our family since 1951! It is a Willys (civilian) and has NOT been modified. Color is dark green with a custom vinyl white top, doors, seats and back window coverings. The battery is new. Includes trickle charger. The tires are original. Second brake light added. All parts are available. Mileage: 27,117.9 – towed for hunting and fishing expeditions, some road miles.”
Nice looking restoration.
“1965 Jeep CJ-5A Tuxedo Park Mark IV
ID# 832215083 Dauntless V6 Engine, 4 speed Standard
Incredibly done, body off, absolutely perfect CJ 5A very rare Tuxedo Park
Mark IV.
A Buick (standard Jeep issue) 225 Dauntless V-6 engine that purrs like new,
and the rest you can certainly tell from the pictures.
There are only two notable issues; driver door window crack, and it is a
little tough braking.
Shifts perfectly, all correct Jeep except the tail lights. These are chrome
but not correct for this year.
Power lock differential front and rear. Interior is amazing. Hard to find
Jeep hub caps.
Note the truck is a color change; Paint Code 230 was Parkway Green; Trim
Code 225 was Green Vinyl Pleat. Who cares.
Beautifully done in every regard, a real must to the Jeep collector.
Remember it’s a Tuxedo Mark IV.”
UPDATE: This scam has been drifting west on Craigslists. Bryan, whose eBay ad is the one copied by the scammer, was contacted by a woman who found his phone number in the scam ad.
Bryan wrote and told me, “I talked to a lady today that almost got sucked in. Her husband is in the military and the scammer told her he was overseas fighting and could arrange shipping for the jeep. She said the scammer reeled her in with the his false military fighting for our country story….she said the only thing that stopped her was my eBay ad and my phone number I put on the ad. She called me to confirm it was false.” Bryan has reported the situation to the FBI. You can contact the FBI at this phone number (251) 438-3674.
There’s a M-38 craigslist scam that’s been listed on about ten craigslists along the east coast. The text came from a January 5 eBay listing.
This is the pic that’s been included in the ad:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Walter found this one. It looks solid from the front. It has some unusual windshield bumps.
“In great condition and all original parts, interior, etc. has been garage kept”
This looks like a good one. What’s the metal hook sticking out above the jockey box?
“1960 Marine Corps MRC-83 M38 A1 Jeep with a lot of the original radio equipment still intact, runs good no leaks, no smoke brakes work, hard petal,needs tires.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
It’s listed as a ’46, but it probably isn’t. The body is very interesting. It has no drain holes, the hood doesn’t have ‘Willys’ on it, and this has tool indents with what appear to be tool attachments. It could be a replacement body.
“This Jeep was last started 8 years ago and may or may not run now. It has been garaged for at least the last 20 years and has little to no rust. The one picture shows it with the soft top which I still have, but is not on the Jeep now. The tires are like new and in remarkably good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This is a good looking CJ-6.

The steps appeared repaired. Otherwise, it looks solid.
“What a beauty! Harvard Red. Runs great. Road worthy and insurable. Clean NC title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This looks in good shape.
“1952 M38. Runs good, lots of new parts. $7000 obo or trade for 69 or older car or motorcycle NO JAP BIKES!!! ”

I like the rims. This might be worth a look if the body is as advertised.
“1948 Willys Jeep , body is in great shape, very rare find, has a buick VS motor and does need some work, great collectors car, call with an offer , would accept a trade”
No pics provided.

(07/31/2012) Apparently, this looks good from 10 feet, but not so good closer.
“this jeep was set up for parade in 2000 looks good @ten feet ,runs good, all stock.”
Walter spotted these.
“I have 3 original OG OD green factory steel rims I’d like 2 sell. I scored ’em a while back off e-bay,…& lost the 4th one right @ the end of the auction,…hence I only have three. I was going 2 put ’em on my ’64 CJ 5,…but I have since sold that Jeep. These rims are solid,…a few licks w/a wire brush,…primer and paint & they will B good 2 go. They will fit any CJ or military Jeep of that era. No curbing that I have detected,…they look good and straight 2 me. I paid $75.00 each for them plus shipping. I’d like 2 get my money back out of ’em. I will consider reasonable offers. Plz contact me @ (910) 620-4494. Calls are better,…the display on my phone is jacked, so it’s hard 2 make out texts. Hope someone out there can use these,…I’m trying 2 clean out the garage. Thanks 4 looking. -K-”

I had updates scheduled to go out early on Monday morning, but they didn’t appear (related to changes I made to reduce resource use on my current server … grrrr). So, I’ve just pushed them out manually tonight.
Meanwhile, tonight my internet is down. So, I spent time researching and then playing around with the cover to my new book. Everything on the cover could change — title, subtitle, arrangement, my pseudonym, colors — I’m just working it through. Mom’s read the first draft and really enjoyed it. But, hey, it’s my mom. For fun here’s the book front cover draft, and I emphasize draft. Still lots of work left before its ready.
