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: I was quoted $1200 in early 2016.

UPDATE: Glenn shared this pic of restored Mahl Jeep Loader. It’s located near Minneapolis.
ORIGINAL POST FROM 2012:
There appears to be an article about the Mahl Loader in the 1949 Municipal Journal & Engineer, Volume 80, but I can’t read the whole article. Farm Implement News, Volume 70 page 149, from 1949 also has an article, again I can’t read the whole thing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
“Built on a 1973 CJ5. This is a purpose-built ice racer that runs great and needs nothing. Buy it today and go race it this weekend.
*Small block Chevy 350 with Roller Rockers, with high performance cam, high performance ignition, headers and new carborator (recent engine work done by Western Engine with lots of receipts) Engine is worth $5,000 alone.
*Turbo 350 automatic transmission
*Roll cage/racing seats with harnesses
*Fuel cell
*Battery shut off switch
*Adjustable coil over shocks
This is a Hot Rod in a Jeep! It is a purpose-built ice racer; no title or registration. It passed tec and is stickered for the “Our Gang Ice Racing” season for 2016 on Georgetown Lake. I was planning to race this season, but my schedule has changed and I have to work weekends. My loss; your gain. ”
This might be worth a look.Whether new or rebuilt, the engine looks in good shape.

Mitch has the following items for sale. No pics of the chassis just yet. $500 for the tub, $500 for the frame and axels, and $500 for the rest. Call him at 9546617279 or email mfgraf@gmail.com
“I have for sale a nice, solid, straight and rust free rolling chassis from a 1955 Jeep M38A-1. Included as part of the chassis are original Dana 44 & 25 axle assemblies with 5.38 gear ratios and open differentials, suspension, some steering linkage and good steel brake lines. The OEM wheels/tires are NOT INCLUDED so arrangements would need to be made.

“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A CJ Great Flat fender – (Saint Paul, MN)
1st civilian model
We did a frame off restoration in 1994. (including engine rebuild, tranny rebuild, etc….)
Runs and drives great. It has a warn overdrive (rare), which enables it to go 50/55 mph.
We have owned it for about 21 years. We recently tuned it it up. (Master cylinder, cap, rotor, plugs, and carb adjustment, oil change and pan re-seal, new alum radiator, water pump, and alternator (GM Style).
(pictures don’t show new radiator and alternator)
Tires are in great shape.
4 wheel drive works well, and the transfer case works properly. All electrical works as well. We hate to let it go, but have too many Jeeps. It is only used to plow our driveway – this is not its’ primary function.
Please call with any questions. I prefer you call between 4:00pm and 8 pm. The Jeep is currently in heated storage in Anoka, but can be taken out. (wed evenings work well for me) Please call instead of emailing (I am posting this for my father, he does not do Craigslist)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
“1952 Willys M38a1 ‘Army Jeep’
Full frame off restoration. Everything was rebuilt or replaced with NOS or new parts. Too much to list.
Jeep is fully functioning 24 volt waterproof electrical, great running 134 Hurricane engine, excellent driving and show quality paint.
I never thought I would sell. The only item that is unfinished is the vacuum system for the wipers. Only needs a hose. I was never going to drive in the rain.
Price is starting at $12,500 which is less than I have in it or the parts would be worth separate. Text or call for a viewing.
Little list of work done:
The body was removed and any rust was cutout and welded in new metal or replaced whole pieces, such as both fount fenders and the gas tank sump. Frame was striped bare and coated with POR-15 rust inhibitor. Engine was also painted with POR engine enamel.
All wiring is new, bought from Vintage wiring of ME. It’s all waterproof with mil-style connectors. The generator and distributor are NOS 24 volt, with new coil and points. Brand new fuel tank and fuel and vacuum lines. New water pump, fuel pump, oil pump, clutch, radiator, hoses, belts and ect. All new brake components: master, caliper, shoes, drums, and lines. New or NOS lights, all functioning. All new bearings/seals in burfield hubs and Warn lock out hubs. New axle on right front. NOS vacuum wiper motors. Brand new top and seat covers. Brand new tires. Gauges are new or NOS. New windshield and gasket. I believe the decals correlate to my fathers unit in Vietnam, although he was in a helicopter and not a M38a1.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
