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 $3300.
Looks like the seller was testing paint schemes on the windshield frame?
“Hunters special! Starts right up, runs great, original jeep 4 cylinder.
Includes new bikini top and tow bar. Heavy duty winch.”
There’s some value here. Neither project runs.
“I am selling two early CJ2A projects with a ton of extra parts. There is enough parts to build both jeeps and have extras left over. I have a rebuilt Buick V6 with the adaptors and motor mounts that cost me almost as much as I am asking for both jeeps. There are titles for both. One has the PTO on the trans. One is an early column shift. There are extra hoods, fenders, tailgates and more. One has the frame for a soft top, and one has an aluminum hard top with doors. As you can see in the pics, these are projects that do not run. Willing to consider trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It’s a project.
“Jeep Willys CJ3a. Brought up from Virginia. Flat fenders are getting hard to find. Great raw material for a restoration. Easy to work on. Come check it out. Contact Tim Mon thru Sat, days”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“This is a complete L-Head 134 cubic inch flat head 4-cylinder “Go Devil” engine. Fits M-38, MB, and CJ-2A, CJ-3A. Should also fit a GPW. It was a military engine, rebuilt in 1953 by 229th Ordinance Base Depot, TEWOS (Plate attached). Turns over easily. The block is good with no cracks, but the cylinder walls are pitted.
This engine is complete with carburetor, oil filter housing, air cleaner, fan, distributor, manifolds, crossover tube, carburetor linkages, etc. I may be willing to sell separate parts off this engine if no one is interested in the complete package. Also, I would be willing to strip the extra parts off the engine if someone only needs the block. My asking price will be adjusted depending on what parts you need. Please email me (via Craigslist) with questions or requests.
I have many other Willys parts, such as Dualmatic lock-out hubs, CJ-2A soft top plus frame (rare white, like new), CJ-2A or 3A soft doors, 6-volt generators and starters, etc. Send me an email if you need any flatfender Jeep parts.
Historical note: The 229th Ordnance was based in 1952 and 1953 at Tomioka, Japan, between Yokohama and Yokosuka on the main road. This engine is a Korean War veteran, and would be ideal for an authentic M-38 restoration. “
UPDATE: Price now $5200.
(06/19/2014) This jeep has one of the more unusual F-bumps.
“1948 Willys Jeep. Very rear. Looks and runs excellent. Newer engine with low miles. Great fun for the summer. Turns a lot of heads. Hop in and drive it away.“
http://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/4627191399.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
(07/08/2014) “Will run” suggests it doesn’t currently run. Appears very restorable.
“WILL RUN
NEEDS BRAKES
THIS IS A RARE FIND
BEEN SITTING IN A BARN FOR THE LAST 10 YEARS”
I’ve been oscillating between chills and a fever all day. So, no updates to the site AND I haven’t checked Tuesday’s emails. I’m improved tonight, so there’s hope for feeling better tomorrow.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
“New upholstery and bikini top. Complete tune up, all original parts in motor
4cylinder 6 volt. Motor has been overhauled.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $2000
(08/13/2014) Neither runs. The ad was posted in California, but the jeeps are in Seeley Lake, MT.
“2– F170 jeep forward control pickups sold as a pair. One is a parts rig the other is complete. both are 1959 F170 SOLD AS IS– the chassis with the engine was kept covered. Have never tried to start either engine, they both turn over. Usual rust on the bodies. $2000.00 OBO”
On Saturday I drove over to Seattle via Hwy 20 to Ethyl, Washington, where the Pacific Northwest Four Wheel Drive Association was holding the 2014 Summer Convention. While there, I got a chance to talk with both Herm and Marty Tilford, but spent most of the time taking photos. Turns out I could have used my wife’s help with properly setting the shutter speed. I did get a few good photos though.
On Sunday I got a chance to meet with Cody. A retired Marine Commander (hope I got that rank right), he’s a ball of energy who shared some great stories and insights. Though he doesn’t own a jeep yet, he’s been considering the purchase of one and has been reading eWillys to learn about them. Most of the year he lives in Taiwan, but is currently in the U.S. helping out family. He’s led an interesting life and we had a great chat.
Unfortunately, instead of spending Monday working on the jeep, I spent it not feeling well. So, I may return to Pasco on Tuesday for my wife to dote on me (hopefully).
Here are the pics from Summer Convention. The first two show’s Marty’s jeep just after the tire blew and his front driveline coupler broke (see it on the floor).
I wonder who “Pat” was and whether she was impressed with the jeep’s name? Looks like the photo was taken in December of 1943.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
Seller listed this as a 1949 CJ-2A. May be a good price.
“I inherited this and I am not an expert on Jeeps. It is 12 volt and runs great. It is too hard on my back to keep but everyone who rides in it loves it. Price is firm , about 36,000 miles on it.”
Anyone recognize that winch? Looks like it might be a winch/compresser combo?

That’s one tall transmission shift level. The jerry can in the rear is actually the gas tank.

Brakes aren’t working. Looks like it’s got a tall lift. Given the price, it’s worth a look.

Some pics show the truck with rear fenders, some do not. One shows the radiator out. I’m not sure if this is running or is a project.

This looks swamp capable.
“1949 willy .. Original F 4 cylinder.. Runs great and have the original title in hand .. Baby on the way forces sale..”
http://fortmyers.craigslist.org/lee/cto/4625007088.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
Seems to be sitting a little heavy in the front, but that could be the way it’s parked. It’s not been restored to stock specs (brake lights and front parking lights for example), but it looks perfect for a parade or having fun.
“1962 M38A1 Willys Jeep with less than 30,000 original miles. Recently restored to good condition and has authentic numbering system consistent with military issued numbering. New paint, seats, tires. Body is in good condition with little rust. Road ready and runs great. Needs minor work to parking brake; only thing not restored.”
Listed as a 1956 CJ-3B, this appears to be a 1956 DJ-3A (based on the VIN number 56337 11969) that may be mounted on a CJ-3B chassis.
“ For Sale 1956 Willys Jeep for $2,650.00. The jeep runs good, moves when placed in gear, stops and starts fine. But will need some work to use it as a daily driver. The jeep has brand new seats, and for it age is in good condition. It also comes with a correct up to date title. The vin numbers do match the title. The engine runs good with no noise or smoke. I think this jeep would work perfect for one of our local VFW clubs or American Legon Posts for a Parade Vehicle. “

Looks solid. Has a funky back bumper.
“Hurricane Super 6 Cylinder Auto New Paint New Glass New Door Rubber No Rust One Owner”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Note the front of the hood bows due (I think) to the radiator hose. Be warned this has no brake lights!

Just installed new points and coil. Needs a little tlc. Steering is a little loose. And brake lights Are not hooked up. Headlights work good. Manual and vacuum driven wiper blade that works.
