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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was sold for $6200 at an auction. Now listed for $12,000. Seller claims wife won’t let him keep it anymore (as if the seller had owned it a while), so he must sell it.
“Willy’s Military Jeep with roll cage, shovel, axe, fuel can, front tow bar. This is a very well kept specimen that appears to be mostly original, unmolested and authentic.”

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone who offered to read the book! I’ve selected a couple readers. I will do my utmost to get the book finished so everyone can get a copy.
On Wednesday afternoon we begin our drive to the FC Roundup. We’ll be on the road just under three weeks. We’ve got several tours, a giant fork, a wild west town, an art museum, a ride in a GPW, dinner on a plane, a photo op with a (mostly) naked book seller, lunch at 13,000 feet, and much more planned. Of course, we’ll also have a busy couple days of FC fun at Jesse’s.
This is a rough map of our planned trip.
On another note, I’ve printed seven “proof” versions of my next book. I plan to do one more sweep through the book to refine it, build an index, and look for errors. The book is a non-fiction 450-page book that has nothing to do with jeeps. I hope to have the book finished by the Fall of 2016.

Mark was asking about the side auxiliary windows on a Meyer hardtop and wonder if those were custom made or a factory option. This four page Meyer brochure answers that question.
Great press photo of a couple Holdens.
“1944- Willys Jeeps, fitted with stretcher racks, pull up to this wrecked Japanese building on Saipan which the U.S. Marines are using for a hospital. The zig-zag camouflage didn’t help much as evidenced by the hits scored by Naval and artillery fire in the early part of the campaign”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. $14,999.
Most of the pics are more of these ‘models’ rather than jeep.
“This showroom-fresh Willy’s Beach Car was the center piece of Johnson Jeep & Willy’s in Riverside, California, for many years. The speedometer shows 200 miles since it has been restored.
From the looks of the restoration, it was done by the Jeep Company many years ago, probably in the seventies.
It needed a new parking break cable when I bought it. I’ve installed “Quick Steer” that has made this a joy to drive with 1 finger.
These DJ 3A Willy’s are impossible to find in this condition. From the paperwork, this vehicle looks to have been a Las Brisas hotel Willy’s (Acapulco). I believe that Elvis Presley once owned a Willy’s just like this one, in coral and pink. He certainly drove one in a few of his movies I have seen.
The jeep is missing the top, but I have a re-manufactured original top-style frame for it. And I have located the material and fringe for the Surrey top. This will be the new steward’s job.
The Willy’s stops, starts and rides as it should.
Books and records from the seventies are yours if you are the buyer.
It definitely has some scratches and patina on it. Come see it if you’d like.”
Includes an overdrive and halfback.
“Selling a 1952 CJ3-A, 90% restored.
– Overdrive
– Front disc brakes
– 12 Volt
– Half Cab
Great shape. Would take a 97-2006 Wrangler trade or partial trade.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
Runs and drives.
“Have my 1960 willys wagon 4X4. This is a running driving rig that has huge potential for a realy special nice rig. Converted many years ago to a 1958 chevy 283 4bl. Has a muncie m22 4 speed hooked up to the original transfer case. Drives great but needs new valves, speedometer cluster needs to be replaced. Some of the side glass is old and cracked but I have good original replacements for all. Good interior, doors etc… It is registered and titled in my name but can’t find the title to save my soul so will have to sell with lost title app. NOTE:: After posting this looked for other similar wagons. You can’t touch anything near this good for the money so I’ll leave the posting but add I’m firm on the price.
I need to sell so I can get a more useful truck so looking to trade for a ford f250 or 350 king cab or crew, diesel with under 200k on it.”
This has a variety of updates.

It runs.
“1947 willys jeep runs you will not see one of these again. 3500 cash or 4500 in trade. Will trade for boat, or full size car. Motorcycle ( no crotch rockets).”
It’s still a project. An M-38 body has been put on a later model CJ-5 chassis.

“I bought a jeep project to learn rebuilding by. The people was to be involved to help is not here any more so I’m letting it go for a super price and will have to buy one much smaller. I only work with clear titles IN MY NAME and not like others that sell by bill of sales or in other people’s names. The amount of items not installed on it yet is in boxes and are new. The list is vast and it has had a lot done to it and very recent. Everything works on it and is ready to be inspected, lights, horn, 4×4 stick, etc.

This was disassembled.
“i am selling a ww2 willys mb. IT HAS NO TITLE AND VIN PLATE IS COVERED UP SO BILL OF SALE ONLY. I can see where the vin plate looks to be still intact but a previous owner wiled the steering box over it so only way to find out if it is still intact is cut the steering off….. the jeeps 3rd piston has cracked so it will not start as it sits the whole front end including windsheild is off of the vehicle i would like to keep it that way and sell as it…”
The March 1956 issue of Willys News featured the Florida Power Company’s grounding-rod driving unit attached to Willys trucks. A long article follows the photos.There were at least four of the speciality units produced. I wonder if any exist?
If this runs, it’s worth a look.
“I have a 1949 Willys Flat Fender Jeep CJ3A for sale. This is a very solid jeep ready for restoration. Runs and drives well, and can be used as is. This one has the high and low range with 4 wheel drive, all of which works perfectly. Brakes are good, and steering is tight. Has a fabricated front bumper/brush guard and towing hitch. Sold with bill of sale only; Georgia does not title vehicles this old.”

Looks like there may be some value here.
“Hard to find jeep. Not running. Good solid body. Good ohio title.”
http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/5475981807.html
No pics provided, but it is described as a jeep that was used by a fire department.
“I have for sale a 1952 M38A1 jeep for sale. Original miltiary use then D of AG and fire dept. It has been repainted red previously. It runs but could use a good tune up. 24 volt system. It does have some dents/dings in the body so it could use some work if desired. It’s a great jeep that would do well on a ranch or as a restoration project. I have the title and bill of sale from when I bought it but have not yet transferred it over; planning on getting that done in the next few days if desired. I also have printed out the original military manuals. Keep in mind this is an old Willys military jeep, and it does need work. My time is focused on other hobbies so I have decided to sell it. If you are seriously interested contact me by email. I’ll be glad to send pics, call and talk to you about it etc. I am asking 5K OBO.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $1000.
Might make a good project for the price.
