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 $3000.
This runs and drives.

“In ’48, Willys built three versions of the pickup. One had a regular bed, one had a flatbed, and you could buy one without a bed to customize anything you needed like an ambulance, firetruck etc. This has a flatbed.
As far as I can tell, this jeep has lived its life on a farm in South Texas where it’s hot and dry. There is no rust that I can find so this is a very solid platform. Luckily, virtually every part on these old Willys Jeeps is available through a variety of sources and I’ve replaced or rebuilt many of them. You could take this truck any direction you want. Leave it the way it is and have a ball with it. Or take it all the way to a totally restored model with new shiny paint etc. and it would be worth something in the mid $30Ks. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
Looks nice. Needs some better pics.
“this pick up is pretty much rebuilt from ground up. rebuilt engine, transmission, all new bearings and seals in axles, all new brake cylinders, new tires, all new cab mounts, cab and bed is solid.”
Needs a pedal fix. The body has a drain hole for some reason. Might be a replacement tub.
“I have a working driving and good condition 1942 willys military version original engine and tranny and everything else has soft top as well newer tires carb just redone. please make me an offer as I did not put one so we can see where you stand first on price. please don’t call with a low ball price it’s insulting to the jeep. It should be noted that the only thing needs to be done is a new gas pedal simple fix other than that it’s ready to drive”

Just a few posts for Sunday morning.
Looking west down the Snake River as it winds north from Silcott Island.
Ann and I, accompanied on Friday by her son Daniel, drove east from Pasco to go camping for a few days while the non-freezing weather lasts. We left Friday afternoon and drove through the barren, rolling wheat fields of eastern Washington. Our goal was to spend the night at an Idaho State Park called Hell’s Gate, just a couple miles south of Lewiston, Idaho. For those that don’t know, Lewiston, Idaho, and Clarkston, Washington, sit adjacent along the Idaho-Washington border at a spot where the western flowing clearwater river joins the northern flowing Snake River. They continue as one, flowing north, then west, then south until reaching the Columbia River near Pasco. The cities are (obviously) named for explorers Lewis and Clark, the pair ventured through the area during their initial trek West.
Map of Trip from Pasco to Lewiston/Clarkston area.
Closeup of the Clarkston/Lewiston area.
As we drove east on highway 12, we passed Chief Timothy Park, an Army Corps of Engineers managed park. The park sits on Silcott island on the Snake River just west of Clarkson, Washington. Surrounded by large hills, and with the trees on the island golden with falls colors, It looked like a beautiful spot to camp. But we continued on to Hells Gate State Park. When we arrived, though it sits right along the Snake River, it was situated across from a large number of houses on a hill. It wasn’t nearly as picturesque as we expected, so we turned around and headed back to Chief Timothy Park for the night. important note: Chief Timothy is not a Washington State Park, so the Discover Pass is not honored. However, though they don’t advertise it well, we discovered (after paying of course) that the Army Corps honors federal passes like the ACCESS pass. Fortunately, my broken wife comes with an ACCESS pass, which gives us half-off on federal park fees.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Not sure what this is worth, but an interesting item.
“Menko cards made during the Occupation are about 10 times more scarce than the famous T-206 tobacco cards. You will receive the exact card shown in scans above. These colorful little works of art were created in occupied Japan under the Marshall Plan at the end of WW2.”

“This beautiful Willys Jeep M38 Tribute was fully restored in early 2015 and has seen less than 100 miles of ashalt since completion! It features many attributes of the M38 Military Jeep and the stencils are commemorative of the builder’s uncle’s military service. Every portion of this Willy was restored, but if you think you are going to drive this vehicle daily or up and down the highway, you need to keep in mind that it ahs a top speed of 60 MPH.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/13/2015) This is an MB on a CJ chassis.
“This is a great project for a Jeep person! Two Jeeps for the price of one. First is a military MB Jeep. The body is in good shape, solid, has recored radiator, new front bumper, original rims have been blasted and ready for paint in the back. Some other parts in boxes go along with also. No engine, transmission or transfer case. This one is easily restoreable and would be a great parade vehicle or military collectible. The second Jeep is a civilian CJ2A which is very similar to the first one, it has the drivetrain still in it. Engine is stuck but could probably be freed up. Body on this one is not as bad as some , between the two you can make one runner! Neither one currently has a title, but can be titled with little effort. Asking $2200 or best offer for both, need to go before winter so come look and make an offer!”

It’s a project.

I have purchased the kit to make it a 12 volt system, including the alternator and starter has been rebuilt to 12V and the points and plugs and rotor and cap. I have kicked the starter over and it turns over fine. Have not gotten it started yet. I took the old tires off and getting ready to blast the wheels. new 12V battery. New ignition switch.

UPDATE: Pete shared pics of his almost free DJ-5 he found off of eWillys. Looks like he got a great deal. You just never know on that free stuff! Many thanks to Jackie for letting it go so cheaply.
ORIGINAL POST: “I have to remove unregistered 1975 DJ-5 with no license plates from my property by Nov. 5, 2015 or be fined by my city. Today is Oct. 29. (I never knew there was such a requirement.) This vehicle was once registered to me and was running, but has not been started in years. There is some rust, but does not look nearly as bad as some pictures I have seen for sale. I have lost the registration card as well as title. I live in NJ. I do not want to call the junkman to take it away. My question is: would you know anyone who would want this jeep and could take it before November 5? Getting the title could take some weeks, but I have to remove vehicle before Nov. 5. If someone wants to own it,I would have to have the price of getting the title, (which I believe is $60 inNew Jersey) plus any money they might care to offer.
