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: Price dropped to $3000.
(03/13/2020) Listed as an M-38A1, the seller doesn’t quite have the model-type correct, but it lookalike a good price.

I swear tons of northwest flatties have those rocker guards, anyone know who makes them or sells them?
Must have a stealth radiator? Usually I can’t see the fan through the grill……
Steve,
Yes, they were VERY popular around the PNW. Some hid damage and some protected from damage. Many, many PNW trails used to be the width of jeeps, hence they scratched, dented, and damaged many bodies. Over the years, as larger, newer jeeps drove the trails, they trails widened. So, the need for these parts (and the demand) has subsided on older jeeps. These guards appear for sale every so often on eBay or on the Seattle/Portland Craigslists. I’m sure there are still some hiding in people’s garages.
That said, there appear to be some uncut corners for sale here: https://www.morris4x4center.com/corner-armor-treadbrite-alum-w-o-holes-war903.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIxvLYgf6X6AIV7R-tBh1mHQ7lEAQYASABEgIqmfD_BwE and CJ-5s here https://www.ebay.com/itm/DIAMOND-PLATE-CORNER-GUARDS-Fits-JEEP-CJ2A-WILLYS-CJ5-HIDES-RUST-NOW-only-55-99-/123791195573
Warrior products make both side and corners: https://warriorproducts.com/product.html?find=jeep-cj-cj3a-32054&sid=lEWCLwYIFq
I hope that helps,

Ron .. I believe that the fan is an electrical fan located on the front of the radiator. It would be interesting to see if there is an interior fan or not.
