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 .
Andy shared this old trailer, possibly a Signal Corps K-38 Trailer?

“Needs restoration”
This “Good Roads Machinery Corp” snow plow was mounted to a CJ-2A. I’ve’ never heard of this model.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/listing/7616751641689613
“Good Roads Machinery Corp snow plow. Removed from a 46 CJ2A I recently purchased. Manual hydraulic pump runs plow cylinder. Complete plow and mount. $500.00 obo located in Raton, NM”
Dan’s selling this FC that includes an Alaskan Camper.

“1960 FC170 with an Alaskan camper. The truck is complete. It’s rusty and the stock 6cyl is stuck. The camper is rough but useable. The hydraulic cylinders that lift it leak but it does go up and down with a little help. The cushions have been recovered. I have a good title for it. Located in Lake Mills Iowa”
I’m not sure if there are more parts that come with it or not.

“The engine is an air cooled V4 and it has four wheel independent suspension. This particular Mite was retired from the military and went to the famous Caribou Ranch recording studio in Colorado. This is a very unique, head turning project. It needs work, I bought it as a project but unexpected health issues have forced some changes. Located west of Cheyenne WY, comes with bill of sale.”
This has an early windshield. Not sure how much value is here.

“ 46 Willys ,no title good parts”
No title, but there is an extra tub and a hardtop that does not, in my opinion, look like a Sears model.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1726114654543233
“M38. Was told the engine was good when parked 20 years ago. No title It’s rough but complete. I also have an extra tub, sears hard top with doors, and a 53 cj3. Willing to make a package deal if you want it all”
UPDATE: More information on the goal of Kaiser-Jeep’s 1966 Eastern European Caravan. This article was published on page 7 of the May 14, 1966, issue of International Commerce, a US Department of Commerce Weekly magazine. In it, the Commerce Department’s ostensible goal was as an “imaginative technique to promote U.S. Exports”, as part to the U.S. Government’s continuing effort to promote East-West Trade. It’s possible the trip was underwritten in some form (cash or government favors or both) to encourage Kaiser-Jeep to participate.
=========================
This September 1966 Four Wheeler Magazine article describes the scene when the Kaiser-Jeep sponsored Eastern European Caravan crossed into (then) Czechoslovakia, as a line of restored and refurbed jeeps awaited them. Remember, that no new parts had even available to these die-hard jeep fans since 1946, making their rebuilds even more remarkable. The Prague Jeep Club alone had more than 300 jeeps and 400 members.
The 1966 Jeep News Volume 12 Number 3 has more information.
The eight-page issue of the 1966 Jeep News Volume 12 Number 3 began with the 1966 Caravan of Jeeps organized by Kaiser Jeep to introduce the jeeps to Eastern European countries (See the next post about a story in the September 1966 issue of Four Wheeler Magazine at the surprise awaiting the caravan in Czechoslovakia).
Page two shows a photo that went viral, in today’s slang, of a Harvey Schaible in a V-8 powered jeep that flew into the air at the top of a hill climb that was part of a Play Day weekend with multiple local clubs attending the event. Page three contains various stories, including a good photo of a TWA-branded airport jeep. Pages four and five continue the story of the Eastern European Caravan.
Page six has fascinating story about the use of 2WD DJ-3As and DJ-5s RHD vehicles (the DJ-5 having been launched in 1966), some converted to automatic transmissions, for use as spay vehicles.
Page seven reports on the use of jeeps to travel a portion of the Oregon Trail between Vale and Farewell Bend, Oregon. Some of this area would be passable by I-84 in 1975, but even today some of the original trail traveled in 1966 is still evident (see this map, which shows a partial area between Vale and Farewell Bend).
Page eight has multiple stories, including a photo and short report on Mr. Diamant and his family, who were traveling in a Gladiator Camper. There’s a longer story and a map of their travels here.
This four-page issue of the April 1964 Jeep Service and Parts News includes an exploded view of the T-89 side-shift transmission. It also appears to have a useful side image of how the J-series gas pedal operates, along with how to make adjustments (I’m not familiar with them).
Looks solid.

“Restored and maintained and upgraded over many years. Manual Transmission ~ 3 Speed on the Column. Yellow exterior, new red interior with white piping. This vehicle has the original engine”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6800.
Maurice shared this running and driving M-38.
“Willys m38 , runs, drives , stops , lights work . Has electric wipers and older canvas seat cushions . I also have the soft doors and hardware , body has some patches , frame is very nice . A great daily driver with spring just around the corner”
Looks to me like this running CJ-5 has a plow and an overdrive. The faux battery box lid suggests this is earlier than 1965.

“1965 Kaiser Jeep fresh tune up needs clutch have clutch parts on. Cost of plow is 900 dollars serious buyers only if ad is up its available”
No price on this, but looks in good shape. No description provided.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2311385992405741
This lacks a title. It’s described as an FJ-5, but the data cab describes it as an FJ-6A. This seems a good price for someone.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/619194953761557
“Very Rare truck. 1967 jeep FJ5 postal van. It is right hand drive. It has lots of big windows and a very unique design which make it super cool. The lower front windows fold out, the rear door rolls up like a garage door. From what I have read very few of these are known to still exist. It has a 4 cyl engine but it hasn’t ran in many years. This truck would be great to fix up for an ice cream truck, food vendor truck or yard art. Bill of sale only but you can apply for a title. Rolls and steers. I can help with shipping it as long as it’s paid in full before it leaves. I do not currently have a title for it”
This may be worth a closer look. The body looks pretty solid underneath and it sports a ventilating windshield.

Brian has this project for sale. If you want to learn more, contact him via email charlierae322 @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).
“I have a 51 Willy overland body bumpers cluster Windows sitting on a modern SUV . A project I let sit to long much time slip by and now my life has changed and I want to get it to someone who will make use of it been sitting undercover for many years body looks good overall”
Seems a good price.

“Good condition half cab for a Willys flat fender. Front looks straight across, so likely a fit for a 2A. It’s about plowing time and your old rig could use a cab. Keep yourself warm this year with a good top for a good price.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500.
(10/02/2023) The seller indicates this was built on a “1964 CJ-7 frame”, which must be a misprint because CJ-7s weren’t introduced until 1976.

“$7,000 OBO 1946 CJ-2a Willys on a 1964 CJ7 Frame I6 AMC 4.2 4 speed manual New wheels and tires New seats Don’t need to sell testing the market make offer”

(01/01/2024) Unclear how much value is here. Looks like it has a Koenig half-cab.

“Clean South Dakota title, 1963 Willy’s CJ6. Non running condition. $3500 obo. Hard to find! Appears to be all complete with the half cab. Don’t message me until you’ve spoken with your wife, skipped a car payment, and have your trailer hooked up.”
