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 .

It’s a project.
“Time for second owner for this vintage 1950 Willys Jeep that we used in the orchard, on the farm and for hunting in the Columbia Gorge. This Jeep was purchased new in 1950 by my parents. It has a paltry 19,000 miles on it. It would be a great restoration project! The engine is non-operational and needs to be rebuilt but nothing is frozen.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
(05/21/2016) Not sure there is much here.

Here’s a great shot of Joe’s tattoo with his GPW MB in the background. Looks great on you Joe!
This was just sold on eBay. Thanks to Steve for spotting it.
“1943 Press Photo U.S. Navy Jeeps & Planes Aboard Aircraft Carrier, World War II
This is an original press photo. Photo measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 11-26-1943.”
UPDATE ***: Jurgen spotted this one. The ad for this jeep has resurfaced, this time in Ireland. Note the text claims the body panels has their “rivets” removed using a special tool. The panels were welded together via spot welds, not held together using rivets. It’s the same claim made in the text from last year: https://www.vintagestefano.com/for-sale
UPDATE II: A Craigslister reported that the seller is away and keeps raising the price as emails are exchanged. “Guy claims he is govt working but keeps asking for more and more info if you respond to his add…beware”
UPDATE: This jeep was on eBay a couple days ago. The seller listed it in College Station, Texas. The same jeep just popped up on a West Virginia Craigslist for only $4000. The text in the ad is similar to the text shown down below.
Here’s the current scam ad: http://huntington.craigslist.org/cto/5644379040.html
“1946 Willys VEC (Very Early Civilian) CJ-2A Jeep – Museum Quality Restoration
Offered is a 1946 CJ-2A that has undergone a frame-off, nut and bolt, rotisserie restoration. This is a very early civilian version, identified by square windshield plates, column shift, tool indents, ‘F’ script bolts in drive train, frame tag on the outside of the driver front gusset and three data plates on the dash.
I acquired this Willys Jeep CJ-2A from a Kingman, Kansas flying service in 2008 where it was being used as an airport tug. Everything was original, uncut, matching numbers and well preserved in several coats of orange paint. The frame tag, dash data plate and the Willys body tag are each numbered 17968 and correctly located. The motor number is CJ-2A 18464. The AMC numbers on the tailgate and front gusset are matching and both read 8620. Continue reading

Could be a good M-38A1 for bringing back to original.
“This M38A1 Willys Jeep is in great condition. It runs and drives with no trouble. It has a newly rebuilt engine, transfer case, and carburetor. It runs on a 24 volt system. It’s 95% original with a few parts such as the passenger handle in front of the seat that came from a CJ5. Brand new 6 ply tires and drum brakes all around. Seats are in excellent condition with no rips or tears. The only thing missing is the windshield wiper motor. I’m in the process of registering it so it will be road legal. It will be registered next week or the week after that. The DMV issues trip permits to unregistered vehicles so if you would like a test drive that can be arranged”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $16,000.

Cage is bolted on. Marine battery. Racecar switches. Electric fuel pump. Could be removed to make a Jeep project. Lots of options. Best serious offer. Also has set of forks for it. ”

Runs and drives.
“Clean TX title 1946 (2nd year of the civilian Jeep) willy’so CJ-2A. Run and drives. Has no breaks though…either need blead or master cylinder rebuilt. Tires hold air, fluids are good. Excellent candidate for a deer lease or restore to original condition. The engine was rebuilt a few years back along with the 3sp transmission
The engine and drive train are original.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $800. This was sold once previously through eWillys.
“I have a 43 Willys MB Jeep. I have used a lot of the parts off this jeep for another build. It does come with frame, tub, engine, trans, transfer case, axles, steering, wheels and tires, and all you see in the pictures. Frame is solid. The floor in the tub has been replaced by someone using regular sheet steel and not replacement pan parts, but they did a decent job. They cut a tail gate into the back and reinforced it with angle iron. Engine is the 134 L-head. It turns over freely, never did try to start it. Transfer case shifts into gears. Transmission does not want to shift into gears. I would recommend both trans and transfer case be rebuilt do to age. Axles appear to be in working order but look like they could use seals. Has original speedo. Steering components are good. Wheels are good but tires are a bit dry. Comes with matching spare.”
No pics provided.

“This is a 1954 CJ-3B with an F-134 Hurricane 4 cyl, T-90 Transmission and D18 Transfer case. Starts instantly. Runs, drives, shifts, and stops.
Frame:
Overall excellent. Some rust in spots but no rot or evidence of repair.
Body:
Looks good at a glance but does have a lot of patch panels and bondo. Depending on your plans the body is solid enough for a “driver” quality Jeep but beyond that it is questionable. This would be a good candidate for a new repo tub or better donor tub. My guess is the existing tub would be more effort that it is worth should you remove all the bondo, patches, and try to restore to original. Tough to tell for certain until you get into it though.
