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 $3500.
Looks like the pair is priced at $3500. The 2A runs and the 3A doesn’t.
“I have two complete Jeep’s for sale. I would like to sell these as a pair. They are both partially restored and have new tires etc… I drove the 1947 quite a bit this summer, it ran great. Has been sitting in my shop the last couple of months and the last time I tried to start it, it would run for a while then die. I think the carb needs cleaned. The 1953 is complete but the engine is disassembled. They would be fun to tinker with this winter.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
“This is a 1954 Jeep Willys with all original parts and equipment.
It starts and drives good, and the 4×4, four wheel drive works good. It takes a lot to get it stuck. It has a hard top that can be removed. It has a strong running Continental engine. It even has a snow plow that was mounted on the front if you want to play with it.
The plow is raised by an electric winch. This has been kept as mainly a “toy to play with”
This is a CJ 2 or CJ 3 I think grandad said. It is one of the original Jeeps before they became the “wrangler””
UPDATE: Was $12,000. **Status Unknown**

“What you are looking at is a motor pool restored 1950 Willys M38 Jeep. This Jeep is very original will nearly every part from the day it was built by Willys. This was a frame off restoration. Clear title. Ready to go anywhere.

“I have a 50 willy jeep flat fender, with a ford V8 motor, it has power steering and power brakes, It has a 3 speed trans with a T 18 transfer case, it has two gas tanks, it also has a winch on the front. It has a roll bar and a full bench seat with good upholstery. It does not have a back seat. The motor runs good, but the trans makes a lot of noise in 2nd and third gears. I have another 3 speed trans for it. I have a clean Nevada title for it The windshield is cracked and dirty and there is some rust in the usual places.I am only asking $1500 for the jeep as it does need some tlc, but it does run and you can drive it home if you don’t live to far from Carson City. Larry Will trade for a suzuki sidekick, or Geo Tracker, or a Suzuki Samurai or 1973 Jeepster Larry Thanks for looking”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500.
The flames and angular rear wheel well give this a different look.

“I’m selling my basically stock 1948 willys cj-2A.
Original flathead engine rebuilt 2000 miles ago.
Originally axles
4 wheel drive works.
Soft top is very new and fits nice. Have soft doors but they need to be mounted.
It already has collector plates so no need for tabs ever again(it’s licensed as a horseless buggy)
It’s a fun jeep, extremely capable in 4wheel low and hilariously gutless in 2high but that’s honestly part of the fun and it’s only sixty horse power. I didn’t think I would get as much atention as I do when I’m driving it but people really like these old jeeps. Runs really good.”
