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 .

I haven’t seen an OD pop up for sale in a while.
“Dana 18 transfer case and overdrive unit. Both work great removed from a 1962 CJ5. Had the overdrive on my 1952 CJ and went from being able to do 45mph to 57mph. Doing and engine and tranny swap so no longer need it. Overdrive is a Warn unit. It is a factory part not a knockoff. Very rare. $600”

Not sure how much value is here.
“1946 cj2-a willys. No title or I.D. tags. I got it from an old farm. A few pinholes in the back left side of frame, otherwise frame is solid. Transmission, transfer case, and axels are complete. Could be a good foundation for a build or for parts.”

It’s a mix of parts that doesn’t run yet.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/17/2016) Not sure if it runs or not. I think the seller is mistaking the transfer case for the overdrive.
“I have a original 1952 Willys Jeep with a 4 cyld engine / 6 volts, carberator original body & frame has a 3 speed transmission 1 speed overdrive 16” rims and tires I am selling it for $2500.00 obo

“This 49 Willys has a good running 327 motor and we were told its out of a 1963 corvette, the frame is in good shape the jeep needs a total restoration, its bin setting in a local barn since 1980”

UPDATE: Thanks to Alaska Paul, the Goddess, and especially Ming the Wonder Parrot, who I’m told was instrumental in finding seed money to support their winning bid. Ming was worried the bidding might go higher and, to cover the additional cost, he might have to get a job. So, no job just yet Ming, unless you want to fund Knardly Rolls.
And thanks to the other bidders, too. I’m honored by your enthusiasm. And thanks to Ted for coming up with the idea!
Ted Jordan has volunteered to auction his rare 2A brochure to benefit eWillys. His brochure, “Jeep Planning”, is one I’ve only seen come up on eBay once before (in 2013). He is including a newspaper insert, which is also a pretty neat, too. What he doesn’t know, and what remains unannounced to this point, is an epic trip involving a group of Willys nuts. My goal is to drive Rusty on that trip next summer. That means it must be roadworthy in ten months. Can it be done? We’ll find out! More on that trip will be shared at month’s end.
This auction was all Ted’s generous idea. Here’s what he wrote: I have seen these brochures sell for over $100 when they surface so Im hoping some of you early Jeep enthusiasts will dig deep and help to support Ewillys and Dave with a worthy bid and purchase of this great piece of early Willys Literature. Winning bid or purchase payment can be sent directly to Dave at Ewillys and I will ship it for free and get it to you undamaged!!!! Good luck and remember this is going to a great cause so dig deep !!!
As a life long Willys Jeep enthusiast and a huge fan of Ewillys, I would like to try and raise a little money for Dave through an auction or sale of a really cool Willys jeep Brochure. I can only speak for myself, but Im quite sure most of you Jeep guys will agree that Daves site is one of if not the best site for anything Willys related.
The brochure I’d like to donate to the cause is a really early super rare Willys Jeep Planning Brochure. Its about 25 pages long and includes the very hard to find supplemented newspaper section of 6 pages that is most always missing.
The condition of the brochure is excellent to mint with no damage what so ever.
I’ve been collecting Willys Jeep Brochures for a long time and this one doesn’t come along very often if at all. What separates it from most of the others is it really concentrates on all the very early Prototypes, CJ2s, Ag Jeeps, and early CJ2A Farm and Industrial Jeeps. Continue reading
UPDATE: Charles noted that these three me were pilots, not paratroopers.
Jim alerted me to this mural in Sanford, North Carolina. The city of Sanford has been adding murals to downtown that preserve local history. One in particular is a glider with a jeep emerging from it that honors three of the town’s glider pilots, according to this article.
This photo come from Marc out of Mortefontaine.
“1946-1948 TWA management rode around Africa and SW Asia in a former B17G (probably Captain Bob Buck was in command !) the picture was taken on the flight line in Heliopolis near Cairo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This look like a great post-1955 equipment book. Auction ends Saturday morning.
“This is a dealer sales book packed with information regarding the CJ-3B, CJ-5, 1 ton Truck, Station Wagon, Willys Fire Truck, Willys Ambulance, Jeep Fire Engine and a very complete list of all of the attachments and accessories available from the Jeep dealer at the time from A frames to welders. There is a sales brochure included for each item which describes the items in great detail as well as some of the installation times. This is an original surviving book from the early 1950’s, not a reprinted copy”
Seller has never washed it. Great old converted fire department jeep.
“Hi, up for auction is my 1952 M38A1 Willys. The Willys has seen a very colorful life, starting with its tour of duty during the Korean War era to its rebirth as a rim fire Willys Jeep, putting out rim fires along the Northern Sierras in the Tahoe National Forest. Bumps and bruises tell the story of the life of this non-stop built to do service, Willys. All of the Military accessories are still on the Willys and intact.
I’ve owned this Willys for several years and have had a blast driving the Willys on and off road, mostly off road. The Willys has never let me down. Fresh tuneup, fresh rebuilt carb, This Willys is turn key and ready to go. I’ve never washed it, the Willys has earned the dirt and grime that this workhorse wears! Below is a bit of history in regards to the legacy of the Willys M38A1….Enjoy!”

http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5781614770.html
It doesn’t have a fan for the radiator? Maybe the seller miswrote?

“Great old classic Willys cab over FC170 Forward Control for sale. These old trucks are getting extremely hard to find in any condition, let alone with all the body panels, bed, and tailgate. This one was pretty well taken care and has you can see from the pics, still has a lot of potential to restore into a nice old rig.
The body is better than most of them you will find. Sheet metal is fairly straight with exception of drivers door. The bed sides are pretty solid and the bed floor only has minor rot, not shot like most of them. The floors have been patched but the seat pans are mostly solid with a few holes but hold my 240lb rear just fine. The windshield surround only has surface rust and not rotted out like most.
Only one pic. Powered with an F-head.
“1952 Jeep Willys. No rust. Great shape. Fold down windshield is your A/C. Army green. Upgraded to an F-Head engine. Super fun.”
http://bakersfield.craigslist.org/cto/5780110960.html
This is the same MB that sold at auction for $10,500 last month.
“This is a very nice, really well kept, maintained, cared for original and authentic Willys WWII Military MB Jeep. As you can see by the pictures, it is really nice. Tires are very good!!! The paint is all good, and believed that at least the hood is of ORIGINAL paint…….interior is good. DOES COME WITH CANVAS TOP IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS WELL!!! Rare find. The only modification that we can tell is that it has been converted to a 12 volt system, with key ignition. Other than that…………very original! Great vehicle for parades, nostalgia, etc…………$22,400/offer”
Could be a good price based on the description. No pics provided.

https://buffalo.craigslist.org/cto/5759665827.html
Seller erroneously describes the M-38A1 as an MB and the cj body as a 1942.
