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 .
Has some mods.

“I have a nearly complete Jeep taken apart some work has been started but needs finished. The 4 wheel drive engages good and solid on front. I have a clean kansas title in my name. The price is negotiable but not a whole lot. Have other more pressing projects. I also have the frame motor and tranny.Can get photos of frame if wanted. It has tires but not real good, will hold air for awhile. Frame seems to be in good solid shape.”
Not much value here.

“1947 CJ2A project Willys ….CJ-5 drivetrain. * Titled as a 47 * Runs, but only if bottle fed. * plastic fuel tank. (Fuel is old) * Duantless V6 * Disc Brakes * Zero rust. NEEDS: * Currently No brakes. * Wiring to be finished. * Fuel system gone through. * And more. I do not want to sell this Willys, as it’s such an excellent platform for a good driver. I have too many projects and won’t get to this until next year. I will take a “fair offer” in person or take a partial trade for a SXS. Mule or Ranger etc.”
This is supposed to be an M-38, but the body has been extensively reworked with fiberglass. It is also a mix of parts. The chassis may be a 2A chassis.

“1952 Willys Jeep m38.
Runs good. Lots of fun. Has 2 combat rims and 2 early solid wheels. Has had lots of work done over the years. Clutch trans seals.
Brake components. Mostly used for parades.
Rear axel seal does drip gear oil. The m38 body was fiberglased to look like a cj. But is very solid. The gun is a replica 50cal converted to a squirt gun. Comes with combat trailer. This will be sold so make offer.”
WUPDATE: Still Available. I noted that this didn’t have a ’46 grille, but in fact it does. I those those were the full circle parking lights rather than the earlier self contained ones.
(05/22/2020) Needs a few things fixed. Drain holes look filled. has PTO.

Silver Auctions will be auctioning a CJ-2A Fire Jeep on Saturday, September 5th.
http://www.silverauctions.com/auction_view.php?eventid=322&lotid=97821
“This Willy’s CJ-2A was sold new on April 5th 1949 by West Motor Company, Steubenville, Ohio to the Wheeling Steel Corporation plant also in Steubenville. It was put to use by inside the plant and was outfitted by Howe with a hose reel. Its second life was with the Pleasant Hill Volunteer Fire Dept. They removed the reel and installed an 80-gallon water tank and was used as a brush truck. The third owner acquired it in 2005 and treated this Willys to a restoration. The tank was removed and restored to how you see it photographed, back to an inside plant, pumper Fire Truck. Lot’s of era correct parts we sourced and now this Willys is loaded from bumper to bumper with firefighting equipment. “Next Day Fire Department” is sure to be a hit anywhere it is driven or displayed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7300.
Has a few updates. Look solid.
“Really nice Jeep rebuilt motor new clutch brand new tires price is $7300”
It’s a project. The body looks to be a DJ-3A body based on the dash.

“I hate to do it, but it’s time. A collectors dream! A 1948 Willy’s CJ2A Fully Restored. The wife says it’s time to make room in the garage for a new vehicle we purchased. Have title in hand and the Jeep has been registered every year since 2003. The Willy’s has been garage kept. It was a frame off restoration starting back in 2003. All metal floor boards and body panels are completely free of any rust. The Engine was rebuilt by a professional Willy’s mechanic in 2006.
Most all gauges have been replaced or restored. Brakes, tires, and interior all in great shape. No tears in the seats. Interior fully spray lined. For a 72 year old vehicle this thing is in Amazing condition! I’m very meticulous with my stuff to say the least. 4WD works Great! This Willy’s was originally discovered in a barn in Wyoming. Odometer says 5,391 but only 3000 miles on rebuilt engine. Runs great-starts up with one click- a Real Head Turner for sure! No low ball offers”
Has a few mods. It’s listed as a 1942.

“1942 Willies runs and drives , great little mountaineer”
This might have had a hood bump at some point.

“Hazzard Fabworx of Spokane has reworked the suspension, power steering, changed out all the fluids, battery, serviced the diffs/transmission/transfer case/overdrive, swapped in disc brakes all around (‘94 Geo Tracker) and installed lap seat belts. It has an “odd fire” V6 motor, Dana 30 front/Dana 44 rear both with 4.27 gears, T90 3-speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case and a Warn overdrive.
I will say the original overdrive was a Warn but the owner before me had it rebuilt by Herm The Overdrive Guy in Washington, so it’s physically a Husky case now. It also has a Warn 4500 lb winch mounted on the front. The odometer reads 30k and change. The thing still runs and drives great. It doesn’t burn oil and still has the original VIN plate. The story I got when I bought it was that it was a forestry service jeep in Oregon, hence the decals.”
It is $5000 for both or $3000/each.

“1946 Willy’s project. We bought this as a project for my daughter, but we decided to go with a CJ instead. I have a ton of parts, along with another frame, but way too many to list. Vehicle was abandoned by the previous owner. I purchased it from the property owner the vehicle was abandoned on. Have not had time to apply for a title, but I was told by the Sheriff that it will not be hard to get.”
The steps have been modified. That’s an odd roll bar style.
