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 .

“1950 Willys CJ-3A civilian jeep 4×4. We used for hunting and lake vehicle. Original 4 cylinder engine – rebuilt in 1998 – yearly driven miles = 2-15. Starts right up – definately under-used. my uncle put in a heater, bought the canvas top/doors etc.. supposedly did axle work, clutch , driveshaft replacements and misc other stuff when he rebuilt engine and put on new carb. 12 Volt system now. Rust in several areas – but been here in Dry New Mexico for quite a while. Headlights not working ( switch?) but tail lights are fine – no turn signals.

“Flat Fender Willy’s Jeep. 350 Chevy engine, headers, Edelbrock carb and intake, aluminum radiator, Accel electronic ignition, runs very strong. TH350 Chevy automatic transmission mated to what I believe is a Toyota aluminum transfer case with a Downey adapter. I believe the front and rear axles, frame, and steering to be Toyota also. Power brakes, nearly new 36×12.5×15 TSL Super Swamper radials on Mickey Thompson aluminum wheels. The tires still have the nubs on them. It has a Bestop soft top only, Simpson harnesses, Mallory gauges and electric fuel pump. I’m not sure how much lift this thing has, but the frame rails are about 24” above the ground, it has a trailer hitch. It has an older paint job and there is bondo cracking especially where they molded in the flares and hood scoop. This Jeep is titled as a 1998 assembled vehicle. $5900or possible trades for old school Harley, rat rod, hot rod, ’70-72 Chevy 4×4 short bed, ???? Reply to this ad with pics. Trade value must be equal or higher than my cash price, will negotiate for cash. I have a second ’47 Willys rock crawler that I would be willing to sell or add to the deal, email for pics/details. I ended up with both of them and am not a Jeep guy. Thanks for looking.”

As Brett notes, this looks like a M-38 with a 2A windshield.

“Here is a great deal!!!A 1952 willys jeep runs excellent it also has the original engine. Its a three speed has new tires, and roll bar and tow hitch. The body is in Excellent condition no rust its been garaged. Lots to list serious buyers only please.”
The bumper on back looks unusual, but I can’t see much more than that. Also, it doesn’t look like the Ballard area, but maybe the jeep is located elsewhere?

This is a good looking CJ-3A. The seller is a bit off with the note regarding this as the ‘last year of production of the WWII model.

Three Speed Transmission with 4 Wheel Drive / hi and low ranges
4 Cylinder Gas Engine
Cracked windshield – Minor Body Damage – Canvas top and framing missing

A very nice, one family owned vehicle that has extremely low mileage and would not take a lot of money or time to get it back to being road/trail worthy.
The model year is thought to be the last year of production of the WWII model.
Jeep has always been garaged – Parked 10 years ago (Notice the Dust) – Engine turns over freely.
