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 .
Poor jeep.
“These 2 1950’s snapshot photos were taken by a soldier in the 28th Infantry Division 899th AAA Bn. in Germany. The photos show a wrecked jeep and some soldiers. Painted on the front bumper of the jeep is “28 899 AA”. The photos measure approximately 3 1/8 x 4 1/4 inches.”

Neil has some concern about the rust on his frame and wondered if anyone knew what the correct thickness of a M-38 frame should be. I did some searches, but I couldn’t find anything.
This jeep looks more like a mobile home than a fighting vehicle. The soldiers are located on Tarakan Island.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
It doesn’t run.
“I have a jeep project that I am never going to finish so I am selling it. I have a titled 1946 (I think — this is hard to prove as the title is not correct) Willys CJ-2a, currently not running but everything is there –engine, transmission, seats, etc. The body is rough and needs work — BUT, it would be a really fun project for very little money. I also have a brand new set of seat cushions from Beachwood in grey that will come with it. I will also include a spare L-head engine, and a set of axles (Dana 25/44) and another Dana 18 transfer case. I only want $1600 for all. You can sell whatever parts you don’t need to recoup some of the money. It is located in Tijeras (Albuquerque) NM and would need to be transported wherever you are.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Here are three different ads from the same seller.
1) 1953 CJ-3B
Have a good project for someone, it needs some work, 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3B, 4cyl engine, runs, needs brakes, needs a new home”

Have a 1955 Willys CJ3B, it runs, good shape, needs brakes, perfect project for someone. Its has a Buick V6 engine.
3) 1946 CJ-2A Was $500.

This currently doesn’t run, but doesn’t look far away from running condition.
“1942 Willys MB Military Jeep
Current PA title.
Partially restored Willys MB, parts included to complete restoration.
This has a replacement body installed, Vintage Wiring of Maine wiring harness installed. New tires on CJ-2A rims. Original 6 volt system, newer battery. This has been sitting for a few years without much work done to it. It is currently not running, but has been on the road before. I am not going to be able to finish it the way it needs to be done. My loss is your gain, it is worth much more than I am selling it for.

It’s a project.
“I have a 1944 Willys MB for sale. I bought this to restore and it has turned out to be more than I would like to take on. The body and frame seem to be original but the motor looks to be out of a CJ3A. The engine runs smooth but will blow some blue smoke after running for several minutes.
I currently have the body detached. I do have the title.
All in all, it is a good jeep for someone looking for a restoration project or parts. Please email with questions.
Asking $2000 but is negotiable.
Buyer will be responsible for picking up.”

This has the hinged grille, so likely an early M-38A1.
“I have an old military jeep that I have already stripped down to the frame ready for restoration, I would rather see it go to someone who has the time and knowledge to restore it back to original condition. Does have title but the title says it’s a 58, It does not have vin plate on the dash, It needs very little parts, body is in good condition, very little rust. Asking $800,or will do partial trade. 5&o_77five-79&&”

Here’s a great photo of Roberto and his latest canvas. In his hand is the latest issue of 4×4 Story.
Along the Miami River, among the island freighters, machine shops and boat yards is this bizarre sight at the Byrd Commercial Divers’ yard. Is it art, trash or a statement? While a jeep is not visible, we can only assume there is a stout CJ-2A holding up the turquoise Cadillac. Maybe an someone knows what this display is about? And the model & year of each car?

UPDATE: Was $15,5000. **Status Unknown**
Joe dropped by the Scottsdale show and spotted this nice looking truck. He writes, “Great show with hundreds of cars Jan and I attended (McDonalds Rock and Roll Car Show) at the Pavillion Shopping Center in Scottsdale today. Only a couple of WWII jeeps, but I thought you might like this Willys Pickup for sale. With Barrett Jackson nearby, ending tomorrow, a lot of folks have show car fever. This one looked good enough for the Auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $6250
Looks like a solid 3B.
