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 .

It’s a project. How about that grill!

This is worth a look.
“Koening PTO winch, Ramsey PT1-W PTO, and drive dine to connect the two. Have been told that the winch is possibly off of a CJ3 (A or B). I was going to use it on my CJ2A project, but that project is going away.”

http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/4491784529.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
(05/05/2014) Doesn’t run. Listed as a 1950, but it looks like a 2A to me.
“This jeep can be used for parts or restored. Missing a few things, but 85-90% there. Engine does not run. Small rust holes here and there, not serious. All running gear complete,rolls so it is towable.odometer shows 70k”
I was busy all day on the jeep. Progress was steady and the unusual lack of swearing suggests it was a successful day! I will have pics and a report in the next couple of days.
On another note, I’ve been experimenting with no-kneed, no commercial yeast breads over the past few weeks. Right now I’m using a strain of sourdough from the San Francisco area. Besides the sourdough, there’s only salt, water and flour. I bake at 455 degrees in a thick ceramic backing dish with a lid.
So far, the results have been great! Check out that last batch here:
I’m going to ‘grow’ a few more starters and try some more complex combinations of flour. I will also be trying a dutch oven in our regular oven to see if that produces a slightly different flavor from the ceramic baking dish. I’ve just ordered both of Chad Robertson’s books as a happy-birthday-to-me gift (bday is later this week) to help expand my repartoire: Tartine Bread & Tartine Book No 3. Stay tuned!
Dennis shared these photos of his ex-wife’s grandfather, Tom Provateare. He’s pretty sure these were taken while Tom was stationed in Germany.
Paul forwarded these two photos of hardtops. Anyone know who manufactured these tops?
The first one is the same model of hardtop Paul’s dad had on his jeep. Paul notes, “This is an old metal hardtop which was used on the WW2 Jeeps. The windows in the doors are moved up and down by straps on the inside of the doors.”
This is another version of the same top. However, the doors on this top have been modified so the vertically sliding windows were replaced by fixed pieces of clear plexiglass. Rather a boxy design even compared to a Jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Marc spotted this Navy Data plate that was on a CJ-3A.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
“1950 M38 Jeep, nice running original L-134 flathead 4 cyl engine and 3 speed transmission, 12 volt electrical, upgraded front brakes, warn hubs, like new BFG M/T tires, 6 point roll cage, Best Top soft top with doors, heater, rear step bumper, tow bar & wiring, original and line lock parking brakes. Original CA vehicle. Clean title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was at auction.
This jeep will be part of an estate auction. Has the body been sprayed with a bed liner? Kind of looks that way.
“1950 JEEP WILLY CJ 3A Drives great To be sold at Estate Auction Sunday June 1st to highest bidder. Open to public. Preview Sat 9-5, Sunday 8am till end of auction. Jeeps sold approximately around noon. For more information and pictures visit website at www.tahsac.com and click on June 1st catalog.”
Looks nice. I guess the spare tire goes in the rear?

Clyde is selling his truck. It includes a 1959 parts truck if you pay the full price.
“Very rare 1950 flat nose Willys Pickup. My wife calls it “The Bootlegger”. This body style was only made for 3 years. The engine is a running 1952 Studebaker Champion 170 inline 6. Front differential is a Dana 25 and Dana 53 in rear. The tags show the gear ratio as 4:88. Three speed manual transmission with twin stick transfer case. Pickup has a spring over axle lift on it so it sets tall.
The interior has the original seat that need re-upholstered, original door panels in good condition, original arm rests, push button door release, and the one original sun visor on the drivers side.
I have a clean and clear title for the truck. Call or email me with any questions. I plan on taking the truck to the Just Sell It flea market at GCC this Sunday 6-1-14. Tow bar not included.
