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 .

“This 1951 Willys M38 is an excellent restoration candidate. It was in storage in Texas for about 20 years. It does have one small rust hole in the tub under the gas tank but otherwise its in very solid condition. The engine is not the original but it is the proper L Head 134 and it runs very well. It runs and drives, but needs the brake master cylinder replaced, I have a new one for it. Converted to 12 volt, but I do have a few 24v components to go with it.
Georgia does not issue titles for vehicles this old so it will be sold with a bill of sale and the previous owner’s TX title and paperwork. The vehicle has been inspected by a GA law enforcement officer and its serial number certified.
If not local call first please. This is a rare military jeep that needs the right owner who is going to preserve or restore it. Most jeeps of this vintage have been chopped up or rusted away. This is a good one! I have a set of spare axles that go with it for the asking price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Kyle from East Coast Willys is helping a seller clean his lot of Willys stuff. Here are some links to stuff that are available.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9800.
(09/23/2014) Mostly stock CJ-3A powered by a Ford 289.
“About this Jeep:
We took this 1949 Willy’s CJ-3A in on trade from a Marine. Normally, the early 50’s jeeps would be outfitted with a L4-134 CID (2.2L) 4-cyl engine that made 60 HP. This jeep went though a restoration about 10 years back, and decisions were made. The jeep would be brought back to original it’s glory with one exception – the 60 horsepower engine would be replaced with a high output V8 from a Ford Mustang – a 289 4-bbl v8 producing 271 hp! 4WD with newer tires and runs out great, paint could use some touch up in spots.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It runs, but needs a fuel line.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s Jeep CJ2A. Got it last year as a project and got a good bit done but now need the cash more than the project. I also have two seat frames (not pictured) to go with it. It has the original motor, transmission, and brass radiator. I had the brass radiator repaired and pressure tested last year and it works fine. The motor turns freely when you try to start it but the carb needs to be cleaned before it will fire. It is a 3-speed manual transmisson with a 4×4. Currently sitting on 31” tires. There is no body tub, doors, tailgate, or roof. It was outfitted as a ranch/farm vehicle and ran a little over year ago. I currently don’t have the fuel line hooked up to a tank. This is one of the original Jeeps and will make a great project for some one to finish.
The East Coast Willys Association’s 3rd Annual Swap Meet on Saturday was a big hit. Several readers submitted photos (thanks!). Here are some:
Carter and Bailey having fun at the swap meet.
Charles just purchased this pump. He was wondering if anyone recognizes it? Was it a WWII era pump?
UPDATE: Was $3200. **SOLD**
“I am selling my 1963 Willy’s CJ-5 Jeep. It is a survivor. My grandfather bought it new and it was used around the farm in Michigan until he died. I inherited it and tried to paint it, but it didn’t turn out too well. I did rewire it as the mice ate the old wire insulation. It has 23,598 original miles with the stock F134 4-cylinder engine. I have added some warn hubs, rebuild the brakes and replace the bearings that were bad. I have replacement decals for the ones that are coming off. It has a clear title in Arizona and I still have it registered. It runs pretty good, though I would recommend a complete going through to get it running tip top. It has some rust on the underbody due to the “rust-belt” of the midwest USA. The rest of the body is in pretty good shape for being over 51 years old. It comes with a full kelly metal top and homemade snow plow with two original willy’s hydraulic pumps, and some extra NOS parts that I got off a AMC garage going out of business in the 1980’s. Tires okay, but not excellent.
Good shot of the hood number.
“This is an original WWII photo of GIs and their JEEP in the center square of a small town in Luxembourg as the inhabitants celebrate liberation. The town band has assembled in the cobblestone square to formalize the occasion”

This is an interesting one. Note the driver’s side exhaust where the gas tank should be. It also might have a column shift. The low swoop of the side body suggests this is a prototype. The rivets along the ‘swoop’ and the handle position suggest this is a Ford GP body, yet the fenders look later and the slope of the swoop isn’t quite right. Anyone have thoughts on this? See the Ford GP image below for comparison.
“You are bidding on a great photo named to CPL CHARLES SARM he servied in the HQ Company 3rd Battalion 23rd infantry regiment 2nd infantry division and also served in 3rd Battalion 394th infantry regiment 99th Division. the photos are from the in 1940 – 1945 including Louisiana maneuvers and war photos.”

(09/22/2014) Some external scenes from the ‘Alaska’-based show Northern Exposure were filmed at a small Eastern Washington town named Roslyn. You can learn more about the show from the Roslyn Historical Museum Society. So, it is very possible this wagon was in the popular show.

(09/23/2014) Not quite the jeep that “rode to the front line”, but still worth a look.
“The same jeep style that rode to the front line during World War 2, this 1947 Willy Jeep is an American Classic. As rugged as it is blue-blooded American, this Jeep is in great shape, with hardly any rust in its solid steel construction. It has an original Flathead 4 cylinder, a 4 spd tranny and both high & low gears. It’s of course 4wd, and was also overhauled two years ago, with new springs, exhaust system and new tires! Willy Jeeps are classic Americana and symbols of patriotism that will always hold their value.”
