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 $4000.
(10/28/2012) Needs some work, but unclear what items need work.
“1948 Willys Jeep, Ford 289 cubic inch engine, 3 speed standard transmission with orverdrive, full soft top and bikini top. Jeep runs good, needs some work, but you can tell by the pictures it is a nice Jeep for being 64 years old. Serious inquiries only.”

“1955 Willys C38 with only two owners. The vehicle isn’t running but she comes with proper paperwork and has been parked under cover since 1965. Comes with a Ramsey winch, a tow hitch and an arctic winter roof & door package. She’s in excellent condition and would be a great project to the right owner.”

(03/28/2015) “This is a restored M170 Willys Ambulance as a troop transport. Comes with an M101 3/4 ton dump trailer as well – been using it in military parades Bandera/Utopia area. Time to move on to something else. Powerful – engine rebuilt, along with tranny, transfer case, wheel seals, etc. New exhaust, everything works except emergency brake. All there just not hooked up. Good canvas, have the doors, new seat pads in the back, no rust to speak of. Very rare, extended wheel base and not the “tip over” typical M38A1. Would make an excellent vehicle to transport hunters to blinds.”
Includes a warn OD.
“Pros

– Comes with soft top and doors and bikini top (Also have a Koenig hardtop that needs work)
– Pretty new oversized tires
– Recently replaced front hubs
Cons

“946 Jeep CJ2a for sale. I pulled it out of a barn two years ago and it wasn’t running at the time. I restored the carb, fuel pump, gas tank & sending unit, fuel filter, new distributor, plugs and battery. Restored using all the original parts except the distributor. Stripped down the entire inside and primed. Really good body, no rust. I have it idling well now and I have driven, but the carb needs tuned in (metoring guage) and the timing may need to be adjusted (I set it by ear). I do not have the time to dedicate to the project and would love for this ‘ol boy to go to a real Jeep fan. Feel free to call.”
Dan spotted this one.
“Vintage 1948 Willys 4X4 1 ton Jeep Truck. Too many projects… Complete and original with F134 engine and running gear. Runs but needs carberator and brake work. Cab and fenders are good, bed is rusted out. Good replacement bed is included. Clean title, and currently under non-op status with no back DMV fees due. Great potential for restoration or modify… For Sale at the Good Guys Car Corral in Pleasanton on Saturday May 30th. BEST OFFER OVER $3,000.”

FC #2
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
No title or data plates.
“I’ve got a early 50’s Willys M38 I’d like to sell. Trying to clear some room for more jeeps hah, and this one deserves a good home. Only made from 50-52 for the military with less than 45,000 ever made. Tool indents are there and that area is in good shape. It’s essentially a CJ-3A with tool indents made for the military. The tub and frame are in good shape for the most part. Has rust but very restorable or just get going like it is. Pervious owner just used on the farm. Was last driven a couple years ago, it will need to be gone through. Hood has a ridiculous scoop on it where someone at some point in this jeeps life had swapped a later model F head motor in it. But does have the L head in it now. Tires old air. Everything is there except for the windshield and seats. There are some kind of seats in there now not sure what they came from. No data plates or title. Just a bill of sale. A cool jeep that needs some love. I was going to keep it but I have another and I need space. ”
The price is right. Looks like it has some usable parts.
“Willys 134 CU (?) 4 cylinder F head engine out of 1961 FC150. Complete – not running – appears rebuildable.”

No pics provided. Send seller an email and he’ll check on part availability.
“I have willys jeep pickup, wagon, CJ2a, FC-150, CJ5 parts for sale. I have Many parts so if you are looking for any parts e-mail me and I will check my inventory. I also have pics of the parts available.”
Parts jeep.
“1947 Jeep Willys for sale, asking $500 as a parts vehicle. Tub is entirely rusted, but the frame, the engine, transmission, transfer case axles and springs are intact. Engine probably needs a rebuild, does not run, seemed locked in gear, clutch appears failed with pedal the floor.
I bought with the intention of salvaging all of the above and rebuilding and just replacing the body. Finding 47’s with mechanical this intact is a challenge.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Brakes need work, but sounds like it runs.
“1957 Willys Jeep CJ6, limited production model. The CJ6 has an extended cargo area. 4 cylinder, 6 volt, 101″ wheel base, winch, roll bar, 10-15 tires with spare, temp gauge. Brakes need some work. This would be a beautiful Jeep if restored. Call or text ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(05/16/2015) The grille and frame appear to be M-38, but the body and windshield aren’t.
“For sale is an M38 Jeep. I hate to part with it, but I can’t give it the attention and care it deserves with a new kid and an upcoming move. I’ve owned the Jeep for just under two years, and during that time I’ve spent a lot of time refurbishing the electrical system, oil pressure lines, and hand brake. Additionally, I’ve purchased new gauges, NOS tail lights, master light control switch, seat belts, and more… The motor is an aftermarket L-134 that runs GREAT! The Jeep has a clear title and is ready for a quick and easy sale. If you’re an American, have a passion for Jeeps and their history, and want a great M38… then this the perfect summer purchase for you!”
UPDATE: Was on eBay, but ad pulled.
(11/02/2014) Here’s a rare former rescue wagon.
“1958 Willy’s delivery Wagon. I’ve owned this vehicle since 1991. It had 800 miles on it when I bought it from the Warroad Mn. Fire dept. where it was used as a rescue vehicle. Not many folks to rescue I guess. It now has 21,000 miles on it. It has the original Warn winch. I had the overdrive installed shortly after I purchased it. I have much of the original literature for it. I recently had a complete new wiring harness installed. It runs great. The only thing that doesn’t work at the moment is the windshield wipers. The interior is very utilitarian”
This really is a survivor. Maine isn’t usually so kind.
“Very minor rust, very straight. Power steering leaks a bit. I have the original compass that was on the dash that still works. Interior needs to be redone. I have some of the door panels and the original headliner is still in place. Car was originally Amber metallic. I painted it an original Willys parkway green and have some paint that I will include.please ask any questions before bidding. Mileage is unknown.”

“For sale is my 1942 GPW, serial #16501, DOD 4/8/42
Jeep is about 95% restored, 100% cosmetic restoration with a few mechanical issues to resolve. Ready for whatever final markings you decide.
I bought this jeep from a friend’s dad that purchased it from the Gov’t post war, so I guess I’m the 3rd owner, I’ve owned it since 1993. In the early 2000’s I started a restoration. In 2004 I had the transmission and transfer case rebuilt , (At that time I purchased an overdrive with PTO that I did not install that is also for sale). In 2005 (after my 4th kid was born), I took the jeep to two jeep buffs for restoration. They both live near me in Northern Ca.
