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 .
Charles spotted this unusual photographic story essay by Reinfried Marass that features a child and a couple of different jeeps.

UPDATE: Was on eBay.
Here’s a different version of a menu that was also used at the Benjamin Franklin Hotel.
“Menu – The Benjamin Franklin Hotel, Garden Terrace, Philadelphia, PA. August 19, 1944. Cover of the menu is “Bridging a new Guinea River”, painted by James Sessions for Willys-Overland Motors, Builders of the Mighty “Jeep”. VG+ condition. A little corner or edge wear, corner crease at upper right, a few small check marks inside. I use a poor/fair/good/very good/excellent/mint grading system and grade very conservatively (see my feedback). This does NOT necessarily correspond to the generic Ebay grading system that we are forced to use. Shipping is $2.50 in the U.S.”
There must be an interesting story here.

It works.
“Vintage coin operated jeep. Originally $.05 but has been changed to $.25 works! $800 Obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed on eBay
I think this same jeep was for sale back in 2012. The only difference that I see is the lack of MVPA text on the driver’s side.
“This 1953 M38A1 original custom jeep that has been fully restored, includes canvas soft top, military green, 4wd, & it is great condition. Original engine (just rebuilt), added a fuel pump, everything works – all lights, horn/siren, blinkers, windshield wipers, seat belts, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $16,800.
Looks in good shape.
“1962 Green Willy’s Jeep. Restoration 10 years ago. Flathead Engine, all original. Please call phone for best contact.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(12/07/2013) The camping trailer is funky, but the jeep looks good.
“1947 Willys Jeep… Painted yellow.. With yellow camper trailer.. Great camping fun! 208-245-1261 Thank You!”
UPDATE: **SOLD for $7100 on eBay.
Looks solid. Needs heater motor.
“This is a very nice FC 150, runs and drives, I drove it in a 4th of July parade this past summer. The Jeep is all original, inside and out, this paint job is 25 plus years old, still looks good. Has been stored inside ever since then, only driven once in a while. I bought it two years ago from an estate when the owner passed away, it is a really cute old truck, but I have too many vehicles to maintain and store inside. The frame is solid, but has surface rust that needs to be sandblasted and repainted. The body is very solid, a few places on the rear fenders where the paint has peeled and there is a small surface rust patch. There are some rust holes in the body panels under the fenders along the frame rails, but these are easily fixed. It is not a show car, but could easily be restored to show condition or simply keep it and enjoy it like it is right now. 4WD works, drives straight, the engine smokes a little when it is started after sitting for a while, heater motor neesd replacing. I had to replace one brake line and cylinder when I bought it in order to drive it, the brakes all work now, we bled the lines, but could use a good pressure bleed, they still feel a little soft. I do have a reserve on this, but it is reasonable for an rare old Jeep. We can deliver if needed, however delivery costs are not included with the sale and no delivery will be made until full payment has been received. Enjoy bidding!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer

The seller is selling the CJ-2A pictured. He also has a variety of other projects.
A nice solid completed 1946 cj-2a with a fresh professionally rebuilt dauntless Buick v 6, trany and transfer case, and it has power steering. Makes it extra easy to drive with plenty of power. Been my fun daily driver past couple years. Put a plow on it and it would make a awesome plow jeep also with lots of extra power
$8500.00

Looks parade ready.
“This is a prime example of a WWII army jeep – a 1943 Willys MB that has been FULLY RESTORED. NO EXPENSE has been spared in restoring this wonderful piece of WWII history. I have owned this Jeep for three years and have over 15K in restoration. I also repainted it the CORRECT Gillespie Coatings AJP paint, which is correct for all MB/GPWs prior to late 1944.
All original but it does have a Bessinger replacement body. Engine, drive train, all restored and rebuilt. It has 5 combat wheels, new Firestone military NDT tires, grease gun, fire extinguisher, first aid kit, windshield-mounted rifle rack, new canvas coverings for the seats and new canvas top, etc…I also converted it to a 12 volt system for safety, but modified an old 6 volt voltage regulator box to cover the 12 volt solenoid. Only someone with a trained eye could spot the upgrade. It has the original oil bath air cleaner, correct fuel/water separator and oil filter.
Interior–all gauges work, floor push starter, blackout light switch, handbrake, brass fire extinguisher, combat steering wheel, & kidney pad. It also has the grease gun, mounting bracket, and maintenance record mounted under the hood. It has the original tire pump under the back seat, too.
I also have SEVERAL WWII musette bag, wooden ammo boxes, a WWII field phone, two original WWII M1 helmets, and a wood/metal REPLICA .30 Thompson sub machine gun. Anyone who is interested in WWII reenacting, parades, etc., will have EVERYTHING they need to jump right in. Oh, I also have a 101st Airborne XL WWII Jump Uniform (replica).”
UPDATE: **SOLD**. Was listed at $1500.
This might be worth a look. The seller lists this as a 1951, but these weren’t made until 1953.
“1951 m-170 military jeep ( same as cj 6) Original minus the motor, it has a buick v-6 226 Had it running 4 yrs ago and at that time I put more than a grand into it but since then I’ve lost interest.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
(01/20/2014) This looks good for the price.

It’s missing some parking lights in the front.
“46 CJ2A 4cyl 3spd 4/wd good condition stock rims oversize 16″ tires, great in desert, Licensed clean title, comes with detachable tow bar, and spare.”
Does not run. The sides have been cut.
“1948 willy’s has original motor but does not run, body and frame in good condition, tires and rims are also in good condition. this would be an excellent project vehicle.”
http://goldcountry.craigslist.org/cto/4337905660.html
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $4000.
The seller notes this is the “Go-Devil” motor, but obviously it’s the Hurricane F-head.
“Thank you for looking at this 1953 Jeep Willy’s. This Jeep is in good condition and runs really well too! It is a 4 cylinder, 3 speed transmission. The Willy’s has no rust holes in it and no major dents or scratches. Somewhere along the line it has been really taken care of. The motor has 2,000 miles on the crate engine (it is the “Go Devil” motor) and the tranny was built not long ago.
I have not had this long, but this is what I know about it! Come drive it and experience old history fun!”
The pics aren’t the best.
“this willys needs some work had running 2yrs ago will need tires and brake work and some body work taking offers on this will not let go for junk price is 6 volt eletrica system”

“Rusty tub I pulled from a DJ3A. I started to patch this thing up, putting in one floor board and getting some metal patch panels, but I ran out of energy.
The Good – has good firewall and cowl, gauges worked, rear floor OK, more leg room than other tubs – I was going to put this a CJ2A project. It has no tailgate – like an MB or GPW
The bad – pretty rusted, I removed both floor pans and replaced one I
I hate to take this to scrap yard, but it is taking up too much garage”
Maybe someone can use these?
