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 .
There’s only one jeep pictures, but it looks like an M-38.

Here’s a rare civilian Converto.
“This is a ¼ ton utility trailer made in 1947 by the Converto Manufacturing Company. They were sold at the Willys Jeep dealerships and resembled the Bantam military trailers of WW2, but unlike them, this trailer was built with a tailgate. Would also look good with any vintage car or truck. The lights are from the early 50s, but do the job and work with new wires and a flat four connector. The hitch was badly installed and from the 80s, so I installed an NOS, unused old stock hitch that is period correct. I replaced two wheel bearings and repacked them all. The tires are new 8 ply bias. This trailer is permanently registered under a California PTI, and I have a paper title. This trailer is road ready. The bed rusted, but there are no holes and no flake, a previous owner must have blasted it before he painted it. I took photos with it wet to show better contrast. Located in Hathaway Pines, 95233.
Too much?
Look for this trailer on a well known auction site, before Monday evening

(04/05/2015) Has many updates.
“You feel that… its Summer right around the corner. Tired of being left behind on the trails? Getting no looks driving around in your weak rig? Looking to make strangers come talk to you. Well, maybe the last part isn’t too go. But it happens when you are driving a rig that NO-ONE else has.
For sale is my 1953 Willys CJ3B.
Very cool “high hood” that has a lot of new and old going for it.
Sadly, I just don’t have the time to drive it anymore. The price is firm at $6k. I have far, FAR more in it, but it is time for me to move on.
The car is a solid driver, a beast off road and runs like clock-work- but I will note, it does need a new head-gasket (price is adjusted to reflect repair)
Here are the specks and pics- let me know if you are interested and we can arrange viewing / test drive / etc.
It runs. It looks to be a CJ-3A chassis with an M-38A1 body.
“This is a 1962 Willy’s Jeep 4×4 with all original 4 cylinder/3 speed running gear. Has new upholstery, new tires, new mag wheels, all new wiring under dash.”

It doesn’t run, but does include an overdrive.
“Rare 1947

This is a project vehicle, it is not running.
There is an engine that comes with it, AMC 2.5L

There are two doors
Frame for the back seat
5 original wheels
It has some rust, some bondo
as well as some welds that look like bubble gum”
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/5204636346.html
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/24/2015) Looks like a good price. Seller thinks this is a 1949, but better check the VIN to know for sure. Has an updated engine some other mods.
“1949 Willy’s CJ-2a. Last of the split window model, only about 700 produced that year.
1.8L Ford Pinto engine (70’s vintage). Original running gear otherwise. Full roll cage, widened front fenders, steering box in front of axle, fiberglass seats, 12V, custom aluminum wheels, custom built replacement fuel tank, bikini top, half doors, full top w/ doors, cheap stereo. Clear title in my name.
This was my daily driver/work truck for nearly 6 years and then 14 years ago I parked it in my garage where it remained until last month. It ran when I parked it, but just barely (was a serious oil burner). I’ve made no attempt to start it. If you’re the lucky new owner you’ll have to pick it up with a trailer.
There’s some rust, particularly on the tailgate and some around the window, but the floor pans and rear corners are solid. The hood is slightly caved with rust on the hinge. It does not have the parking brake.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3495
(08/17/2015) It’s worth a look.
“This is an incredibly solid, original 1960 Willys Wagon 2 door Maverick Edition. It has been extremely well taken care of over the years and drives amazing given its original status. The “Super Hurricane” flathead straight-six engine starts and runs like a top. The whole drive train is solid, it has a manual 3 speed transmission with an overdrive also referred to as a “brownie” gear. 4 wheel drive shifts and works good too. Has no problem starting or getting around, even during winter. Continue reading
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/23/2015) No front seat?
“1943 jeep willies 327 engine .New clutch.4×4 works great.”
http://tulsa.craigslist.org/cto/5184167736.html
UPDATE: Still Available. Was $1600.
(07/05/2015) This is an ex-agricultural department, agriculture research service jeep. Too bad the paint isn’t in better condition.
“For Sale 1949 Willys CJ3A jeep. Engine turns freely by hand, not frozen. located in Belgrade. This jeep has a PTO on the transfer case. You can see the PTO lever in the photo of the interior between the seats. This is a relatively rare option on these old jeeps. They could run post hole augers saw mills, generators etc. This option makes sense since this jeep was a Dept. Of Agriculture vehicle as indicated by the lettering. As is $1,600. Looking for the title. This could be restored or used for parts. Do not request response by email.”
http://montana.craigslist.org/cto/5200561774.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3250.
(07/28/2015) This has an interesting rear. For some reason it has the PTO bar in back?
“My dad’s 53 Willy 4X4 , straight six “Super Hurricane” 4 speed manual, hi lo transfercase. It does run but needs brake work and a few odds and ends tiddy-ed up. It has a winch mount in front and in the bed of the truck; along with a gin pole setup. We rebuilt this many years ago from the radiator to the tailpipe and used to take it to Colorado to use on trails or general running around while camping. It has a few modifications for the trails but for the most part it is stock.
Make me an offer”
