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 .

Appears to have a replacement body.
“This 1950 Jeep has a military style body that still has its first coat of paint. Never had any rust holes. Purchased this jeep in from an older Gentleman who used it to plow his very long gravel driveway. I have used it to plow my driveway, skid logs out of the woods, launch boats, cruise the neighborhood, and ride trails carved by ATVs that todays jeeps don’t fit on. Buy this jeep because you want a dependable, and fun work toy that is ridiculously easy and cheap to operate. This is not a fickle collectors parade jeep! I have used it weekly since day one of purchase. Think of it as a street legal ATV that holds 4 people. This Willys is narrow enough and light enough (<2000 lbs) to fit in a 7 ft wide enclosed trailer. It has a lifetime registration as a collector vehicle so does not need annual tabs. In 1993 a frame off restoration and rebuild was completed on it. Most of the frame could still be waxed! The Jeep is unmodified with these exceptions: 70’s tail lights, 12 volt battery conversion, Warn locking front hubs, seatbelts and back seat. To the best of my knowledge, everything else is original. The tires are Denman Military. Flathead go devil 4cyl. Manual transmission, Manual transfer case shift, Manual front axil shift. Very steep original gears. Cruising speed 45 mph. Since I’ve owned it, the entire brake system has been renewed with new lines, master cylinder and all wheel cylinders and brake pads. Original Carburetor rebuilt this spring. Vintage steel full hardtop, hydraulic western plow, jerry can and holder available separately. Clear Minnesota title. “
Runs and drives.
“Want a classic that is original? It runs, it drives….very original including engine. I love this car but need room in garage. Take care of her for me.”

“You are looking at a 1952 M38A1 Willies Army Jeep. This jeep would be a great restoration project for some one looking to complete such a project. It is in actually really great condition, it starts and runs with no issues. The drive train is in fine shape and I have drove it many times on public roads. 4 wheel drive works perfectly and transmission has no issues with popping out of gear. The clutch has just been replaced so it is brand new. It is equipped with the original engine, it does probably need a rebuild as the jeep is a little smokey which tells me she is burning a little oil. However it does not seem to be leaking oil all over the ground.
Rust is there, I wont lie she is rusty, but it all for the most part is surface rust that can be removed by a good bead blast. There is no heavy deep rot settling into the frame or the body.
It has been converted to a 12 Volt system however there are still components of the 24 volt system still installed, like the head lights which I am pretty sure were the same ones that were on it the day it left the factory.
It has been repainted on multiple occasions however there are signs of the OD Military paint showing through in various parts under the hood in the engine compartment, body, and drive train. Although the unfortunate side is that all the original data plates have been lost or removed.
It has a clean title and is registered in the State of AZ, I would not recommend driving it home as the tires are around 22 years old and the brakes need some work. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750

“I have a 1953 Willy’s Jeep it has a 3 speed manual and a 4 cyl. it is 4 Wheel Drive. It is original and sounds good it has a hard top and doors. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
The winch set up is unusual. It looks like an electric motor has been modified to work with a pro or manual winch?
“1946 jeep willy. A beauty! Come take a look at her!!”
Looks like the grille has been pushed forward.
“1947 Willys jeep project car.
Runs but needs work. “
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/clt/4662131573.html
Motor runs, but needs some work. No title.
“1982 DJ5 mail jeep. Needs battery, trans pump seal, and rear driveshaft u joint. Engine runs fine. Definitely needs some TLC but it is a solid very rare project. No title but will provide full bill of sale.
Purchased as a project which was going to involve a drivetrain and suspension swap. Tons of room underneath for nearly any combo. Selling because I went a different direction with the project.”
http://southjersey.craigslist.org/cto/4659005255.html
It’s definitely a project.
“I have a Willys Jeep DJ-3A. This is a reasonably uncommon Jeep, made from roughly 1955-1964. It was originally equipped with an L134 engine and a column shifted three speed transmission and was only 2wd. These were made for postal delivery and small business delivery vehicles.
This one had been in a pole barn for 30 years. It’s well used and missing many of it’s core components. The engine, transmission and sliding doors are gone, along with many other smaller pieces.
To put this back together would require a complete restoration and that’s why it’s so cheap. I don’t have a title for this since it’s so old.”

“1962 Willys CJ 3B, 4wd, hi-lo, 3 speed. Decent condition. I painted it with a brush and roller but it looks pretty good if you squint your eyes. It runs well and the only reason that I am going to sell is that I cannot get in. I am tall and it is small. It has an original period aluminum hard top with doors. I think it may be a Sears top.”
