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 .
Ann and I are driving south monday morning. After an overnight stop in Boise Monday night we’ll be in Salt Lake to visit my boys Tuesday and Wednesday. We decided to take advantage of the lack of snow, the warm temperatures, and low gas prices.
Most of you know the northeast has been hit hard with snow this year. Some know because you are in the middle of it! One of those is Ted, who shared these photos:
This boxy forward control must have been built in Europe? I found a picture of an orange one below the ebay photo.

How many of these gold plated CJ-5 models did Kaiser Jeep make?
“This is a hard to find piece, this was only given to plant retirees in the 1950’s. This jeep is in amazing condition. It still has the 24kt. tag under the hood and the paper telling how to care for the gold plated jeep. I have seen a few of these jeeps but never with the original label and paper. Nothing broke or missing, someone engraved some numbers on the underside. *Measures 5 1/2″ L x 2 3/4 W x 3″ T at windshield. Weighs 1 pd. 4 oz.”

(01/24/2015) Doesn’t have a standard windshield.

http://imperial.craigslist.org/cto/4859873606.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(07/14/2014) Has some updates. I can’t tell what type of front hubs this has.
“!947 Willy’s Jeep with overhead cam 4 cylinder engine. 15″ chrome wheels with 10 x 15 LT super stag Daytona tires with good tread. Also has a small electric 120 x2 winch on the front. Runs good. This would make a great off-road vehicle or hunting rig.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This may be a good price.
“1958 cj5 from when they weren’t built out of plastic. New top, suspension, paint, Baja seats, tires, exhaust, stereo, and more. Runs like new with its u breakable military I-4 hurricane flathead and three speed tran. Used as a daily driver. Real head turner to the newer jeepers. Goes where they can’t . Spent $5900 to get her looking this nice. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7800.
The interior is pretty plush for a M-38A1.
“This military Willys needs an engine installed. It is wired for 12 volts. I have all the parts for the original F head engine (except the carburetor) that will go with it. The odometer reads 97333. I am not interested in parting it out. It had an F head installed, but it gave out, and I no longer have the interest or the health to replace it. The buyer could put in another F Head or sell the parts to help finance putting in a different engine such as a small block V-8 or a V-6.
UPDATE: **SOLD** buyer got this running and is reselling.
(02/11/2015) There may be partly a MB or GPW. This has the aftermarket dash I’ve only seen on California jeeps.
“1947 WILLY. V8 327 ENGINE.
FULL CAGE ROLLBAR.
SELLING MY PROJECT CAR HAVE ONE TOO MANY PROJECTS. NEEDS WORK. NEEDS NEW BATTERY. SERIOUS INQUIRIES.”

New front seats NO rust. trailer hitch. It loves to climb mountains.”
This 1947 ad from the Boise City News includes rare references to a “Jeep Van Truck” and a ” Jeep Canopy Truck”.
This May 18, 1959, article from the Sydney Morning Herald announced the assembly of Jeep Ambulances in Australia.
No jeeps here, but Ann and I found this 1906 film shot on Market Street in San Francisco hypnotic. Cars, trolleys, pedestrians, and horse-pulled wagons all compete for space. Shortly after this video the entire area burned from the Earthquake.
UPDATE: The XM-384 seems to be both a Mutt variant prototype along with the trailer. Leo found these photos that include the Mutt variant with its trailer. He found the photos on G503.
Steve spotted this unique trailer. According to the seller, this is a one-of-a-kind trailer. It was manufactured by Detroit Arsenal and built from aluminum.
“This is the trailer built for experimental Vechicle XM384 1957 (Detroit Arsenal). Its one of one. No others where ever built.”

Guitar player sold separately.
“It’s time to pass along one of my favorite trucks to a new owner. I worked on this vehicle with, and eventually purchased it from, the prior owner about a decade ago. The truck is in near show condition. Custom detail inside and out. The interior is amazing. Custom and stunning. This is a show stopper. The only major problem with it, is people want to stop & talk about her every time you park 🙂
It’s time to pass it along to someone who can take it around and show it off. It deserves to be out on the show circuit. Please email me to schedule an appointment to view the vehicle. Only interested parties apply.”
If this has been garage kept, the body might be pretty sound.
“Jeep Willys 1946 motor runs strong, no frame rust, good history, odometer shows 62000 miles, worth restoring! straight old Jeep. All New brake system, rebuilt wheel cylinders new starter battery Garage kept.”
http://lancaster.craigslist.org/cto/4898287750.html

This might be worth a look. It hasn’t run in a few years.
“I’m going to part this vintage 55 jeep out what do you need ? No texts , email or call . This is barn fresh hasn’t been licensed since 82 ran about 5 years ago turns over.”
Seems to be a mix of parts.
“Engine runs but will need attention, it’s been sitting for many years. The brakes were gone through recently.”
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/nsd/cto/4900655899.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.

Runs, but rough.
“Civilian Model – Starts and Runs

Fenders and Hood are included, but not shown in picture”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
(02/13/2015) Runs and drives. Could be a good price. Needs fuel pump.
“1946 Willy’s jeep for sale I’ve had this jeep for over 20 years and I don’t do anything with it anymore I’d just rather see it get used runs and drives still has the original flat head in it. The motor and rear end were rebuild in 2003 probably haven’t driven it 150 miles on the farm since then. Body is dinged up has some rust but still drives. The fuel pump went out due to it sitting in the barn so I have a electric one on it at the moment. Do not know where the title is at the moment if i have to get one for you it will take the full asking price plus lost title fees.”
