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 $8500.
Deserves some better photos.

“1949 Willys Jeep Ratrod
-One of a kind, you will not see one like it
-Full custom build, Built professionally by Nefarious Kustoms in Las Vegas Nv
Visit Website – http://www.nefariouskustoms.com/galle. . ./Hot-Rods-and-Classics
-350 sbc
*Holley double pumper carb
*Edelbrock air gap performer intake
*Headers
*Finned valve covers
-350 turbo tranny, Automatic
-Lokar shifter
-Racing steering wheel
-4 link setup in rear
-9 inch Rear end
-Louvered and riveted rear aluminum panel
-Fuel cell in rear
-Omega gauge package, speedo not hooked up
-Custom coilover front suspension
-Custom built front drop axle
-Disc front power brakes
-35 inch tires
This is the show stopper, it draws attention where ever it goes. It is fast and loud. The suspension is done right, very soft to ride smooth. Look over the pictures close to see the detail and time that was put into the front axle, seat, rear panel, engine mount, steering mount. All welding done right and looks great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
“I have an FC 150 in Birmingham, Alabama that I saved it from the crusher a few years ago but have never found time to work on it. I have a bunch of Willys Pickups that keep me busy. VERY Restorable truck taking up space in my shop.”
This seems to be a mix of parts, but appears to be mostly MB.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside. The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen. It needs tlc for sure but is a driver. I just ordered a new Holley 1904 carb which set me back $350. The one on now runs, but leaks a little.
I have the window rubber, just no glass. I also have the wood stops for the hood as well as the brackets for the window hinge. No glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system. It has Model A tail lights. It comes with a complete Willys-Overland Arctic Cover or hard top. They fit MB’s as well as M38’s.
The tires are too big, so I pulled off the rear, but the front still cause it to rumble a bit. When it sells I will be taking off the rear wheels and putting back on the big ones. You will need to put new rubber on unless you don’t mind the rumble and wobble they cause. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7995
“I just bought this rare Jeep at an auction then was told I am being “down sized” at work. My loss is your gain. This old Jeep is a barn find, seems to have sat around most of it’s life ,thus the low miles. It’s got the flat head six, three speed & four wheel drive & Jeep factory installed snow plow. The Jeep runs but doesn’t drive due to it needing brake work. It’s not perfect but a great old survivor!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(07/18/2014) Needs work of some kind.
“1947 jeep cj2a willys project, needs new home.

MIght be a good jeep to drive while restoring back to original.
“1952 M38A1 with the original motor. Runs Great. I had it machined about 12 years ago, including the crankshaft and has less than 1000 miles on the rebuild.
The major parts I replaced include. . .Fuel tank, and tank floor pan. fuel/vacuum pump, seat upholstery, rear seat frame, suspension, brake calipers and pads, carb rebuild kit, clutch, muffler, horn, turn signal added, jerry can and holder, spare tire bracket. I would buy NOS or used original parts as much as possible when restoring.
It has been converted to 12 volt. Hinged radiator.
I have the Army discharge papers.”

(04/16/2015) Seller installed a 2″ lift, but it seems taller than that to me.
“1943 GPW for sale, started ground up restoration on it and dont have the energy or time to finish it. Motor is Buick 225 V6 and was pulled and gone through and painted along with T-90 3 speed tranny. Frame sand blasted and repainted along with front and rear diffs. New leaf springs with 2″ lift, shackles and bushings. Body was pulled off and undercoated and painted original OD green. New brake lines, shoes, springs, wheel cylinders and master cylinder. Also was upgraded to rack and pinion steering. Just needs to be finished.”

There could be value here.
“Have an 1946 Jeep Willys CJ-2A and various extra parts for sale. A great restore project. Been kept in a barn for the past 10-15 years but was working fine when it was last ran. Trying to clear things from the barn so can’t get great pictures at the moment but posted what you can see. Email only.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Seller has three jeeps in different condition and prices.
“We have 3 Willys Jeeps that have been sitting in the barn for about 30 years. One is complete with overhead valve engine and plow ($1200) One has flathead engine and the cab has been cut up and replaced with plywood ($1000) and one is a rolling chassis only ($500). Make an offer on the lot or individually.”
It’s a project that might have been a VEC CJ-2A at some point.

“This is a nice project jeep that I have invested twice that asking price, it is just becoming painfully obvious that I just don’t have the time to work on it.
1946 Willys CJ2A with Dana 44 front and rear axles from a Wagoneer.
The tub is in very good condition, only a small hole in the driver’s side floor board, could easily be fixed, I have purchased (but not installed) new pans to weld in for both sides, Those will come with.

Looks rough.
“1952 M38 Willys Jeep. Has L134 flathead. Tub is in fair shape, will need floorpan and cowl work. No windshield frame, but I have parts hoods to go with it. Have not started it but the motor turns freely. No title, but has serial number plate. 1500 obo.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $800.
“1949 Willys Jeep CJ3A
This jeep has a complete drivetrain. It would be a good candidate as a base for a restoration. The tub is mostly shot, but the hood, fenders, grille, and windshield are in good shape. The hood and windshield are stamped with Willys script, which you won’t find on repro pieces.
The drivetrain is standard for the model year:
134cid I4 L head
T90 3 speed transmission
Dana 18 transfer case
Dana 44 offset rear axle
Dana 27 front axle
Selectro front hubs
The engine turns freely. The spark plugs are still in the block. The radiator is original, but I do not know what condition it is in. The jeep has had a spring over conversion, but the springs and hangers are factory. The frame is straight and not rusted through.
This jeep would be an excellent candidate to start a restoration. All the major drivetrain components are in place. No title.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
Not perfect, but runs and drives.
“I have a 1953 Willy’s Overland wagon for sale. This is a very cool 4×4 for anyone who really loves the classics and wants a vehicle of this caliber and vintage. The engine runs great. It is a V-6 and doesn’t smoke or burn oil. Body is pretty solid, minus some rust on rear fender wells, but for 62 years old, its pretty nice. The interior seats are in great shape with no tears. The dash is all original and all the gauges work. All the wood on the floor is original and in great shape. So here it is, its a beauty of a Willy, does need some (tlc) from the person who wants to restore it. It needs a headliner, but all the hardware for the headliner is there. This is a wonderful collectors Willy’s Overland Wagon. ”

On the CJ2Apage Facebook site Neil shared a couple jeep photos from the College of the Ozarks in Branson, Missouri. The first is a 1957 FC-150 inside the Tractor Museum.
This photo came from this site: https://cozybegone.wordpress.com/2014/09/04/off-the-beaten-highway-in-branson-missouri/
Neil shared this photo.
There’s also a GPW in the Ralph Foster Museum. In the photos below, the same jeep is shown in two different locations. So, I’m not exactly sure where it is currently located.

This year the Annual “Willys at Whitewater Ranch” near Eugene, Oregon, has been moved up a month to July 18th (in the past it has been held in August). You can learn more about the ranch at http://www.whitewaterranch.com. Host Jim Russell is hoping to get some RSVPs ASAP. You can call him at 415-516-4778.
******************************
5th Annual Willys At Whitewater Ranch July 18th, 2015
I can’t believe this is the 5th year of the event but here we go!
Once a year we open Whitewater Ranch for a weekend of Willys fun. The main event starts about 10:30am on Saturday July 18th. We meet at the Whitewater Ranch barn for some Willys talk and catching up. About 12:00 I will fire up the BBQ and serve lunch. After lunch we will go for a drive through the forest and use the Willys as they were intended to be used. We can then go over to the house, have a frosty one, and relax before we have dinner along the beautiful McKenzie River.
For those of you who arrive early, we have a casual BBQ Friday night and you are welcome to stay through Sunday morning.
In the past many guests have enjoyed camping at Whitewater Ranch. If you would like something a little more comfortable I can recommend the Wayfarer Resort which is both spouse and dog friendly. Here is the link but book early as they are a popular resort, http://www.wayfarerresort.com/. As you can see, if you arrive Friday and leave Sunday you can create a great Willys weekend.
I hope you guys can make it! Please RSVP to me by email or call, 415-516-4778
See you at the ranch!
Sincerely,
Jim Russell
