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 .

These are reproduction photos, but still pretty cool. It may be Omar Bradley in the rear of the jeep.

Anyone ever seen a grille guard quite like this one? It has kind of a Road Warrior feel to it in the first photo.
“As described in the title and shown in the scans below, this is a set of three original snapshot photos that were taken from 1948 to about 1950 of, what seems to be, the same Jeep (or similar) parked in the shade under the Collier Archway on the Tamiami Trail at the Collier County and Dade County lines in the Everglades National Park. We don’t know if the officer in the swamp prepared Willys Jeep with large police light on the front is a Park Ranger, Sheriff’s Deputy or Police Officer. He is parked on the Dade County side but they may just be because of the shade. One of the photos is marked “1948” on the back and the other two are not marked. However, one of the unmarked ones has the “Kodak Velox Paper” watermark on the back which would place at least to 1950 and the Jeep now has a radio in the front center of the roof which is not present in the other two photos. The approx. measurements range from 3.25″ x 3.5″ to 3.5″ x 5″. The photos are in bright clean condition though two have been clipped, there is photo paper curl, some scuffing and crinkle. Please view the edge to edge images below for further details on condition and image quality. The thin white vertical lines are artifacts of our scanner and not actually on the photos. If you are interested in original historic Everglades snapshots from the late 1940’s to the early 1950’s, please check our other listings as we have a few more to sell.”

(12/11/2013) The title is from Colorado.
“Check it out! This is a titled 1946 CJ2A SN#14264. Body in fair condition but will need some patching. This is a Colorado CJ, the steel is bent in places but hardly any rust – this is solid steel. The body is complete – tub, fenders, grill, hood, and windshield. Wheels, axles, steering intact, this thing rolls and steers. A previous owner added the rollbar and aftermarket seats, but this could be returned to original or customized. Has original motor and transmission. Vehicle started when I got it in January 2013.
I bought this vehicle for my own restoration but my project is headed in a different direction now. This is a great find for a restoration – why buy a flimsy repli-tub for $3500 when you can have a solid original for less?
Vehicle has a clear Colorado title.
Buyer must pick up. No delivery. Reasonable offers considered. Serious offers only. Reply to this post with a good e-mail address and phone number. I will send photos to serious buyers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Sean is correct (see comment below). It appears the column shift was not original (as I first thought), especially given the hole in the transmission cover for a standard tranny tower (which I missed). I’d suggest examining it closely before buying.
“1946 column shifter. Runs and looks great. Must see to appreciate. Current registration. Street legal. Moving so must sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Dan forwarded this nice looking Jeepster.

(04/02/2013) This is supposed to have an early serial number: #19984.
“1942 ww2 jeep gpw-19984
Have pink and is currently on non-op
Still has original style T-84 transmission
Tub is pretty rusty and someone skinned the back half with sheet metal, I removed the back part
Previous owner said the motor was rebuilt shortly before he bought it and he didn’t get much use out of it before the brakes went out
Brakes need to be gone through and fixed, currently it is rigged up where just the fronts work
Oil pan was dropped and cleaned out (which ended up being pointless) when I got it before I got it running
Has been converted to 12 volt, just put a brand new battery in it
Starts, runs, and shifts great
Would make a great restoration project
$2700 obo”

(10/22/2013) Lots of updates to this flattie.
“I have a 1946 MJ flat fender jeep that I have for sale. Its originally from Arizona which means the actual body is in great shape a little surface rust but not much. The motor is a crate 327 coupled to a turbo 350 transmission. The flowmaster exhaust sounds awesome. Does not have a transfer case so it is 2wd. I’ve been told the motor only has a couple hundred miles on it. It has been sent to me from my family in arizona. If you know anything about these jeeps you will understand when I say im 6’3″ and frankly dont really fit in it. sitting on brand new 33x 12.5 radial svt tires. I would consider it to be more of a hot rod then a jeep but to make it a 4×4 just put a transfer case in and your set. It does have collector plates on it now but other then starting it and letting it warm up it doesnt get used so I figure its time for it to go. If you have any questions email me and ask and I will do my best to answer any questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000 Only Jeep available now (trailer was available, too).
(03/10/2010) Here’s an original combo that hasn’t been restored.
“
1952 M38 flatfender jeep, original 4cyl flathead gas engine, 4 spd trans, this jeep was released from the US gov. forestry service and in original condition. All data plates intact and almost no rust. It has a thick layer of red paint over the original army green.”
Dave Antram forwarded this photo of a Dallas, Texas, Pawnshop run by Rubin Goldstein from 1931 until 1972. I don’t know how the store became “Honest Joe’s”, but I do know Goldstein’s personal motto: YCDBSOYA ….. “You can’t do business sitting on your Afghanistan”. You can learn more about Goldstein here.
Now, can you spot the Willys Wagon in this photo?
Here’s a rare jeep-train photo Marc forwarded. I’ll see if I can find more info about this. We stopped near here during our stay in Mackinaw City, MI in May.

Marc spotted this neat photo. It’s a reprint.
“On 12 January 1945, the first convoy of 113 vehicles, led by General Pick, departed from Ledo; they reached Kunming, China on 4 February 1945 :: 12.6 x 17.4 cm (approximately 5.0 x 6.8 inches).”

(01/03/2014) Brad’s selling this nice looking DJ-3A at a good price. The only minor issue I see is the modified steps, but those could be repaired over time.
“Willys DJ-3A, Survivor, 2WD, 1958 Flat Fender Dispatch Jeep 4×2, Mostly Restored with rebuilt engine & transmission. Other items; new Best Top, brakes, radiator, elec cooling fan, rebuilt steering box & carb. Runs needs some TLC.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Runs, but no title.
“1947 Jeep Willys was being build for a mud race truck, but don’t have time for it anymore. Asking $2000 or will take best offer. Runs, no title bill of sale only, Tires do hold air would be Great for Deer lease hunting buggy. ”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
Runs and drives.
“This is a 1947 Willys CJ2A. It is running and driving. The distributor is totally worn out and we plan to replace it when the new one we have on order shows up. The steering is pretty worn like most of these are. It has been sitting for a while and the brakes will most likely need bleeding. It will need a 12 volt battery and fresh gas. The 4×4 works fine and the motor holds 30 to 40 psi oil pressure. It has been patched here and there on the body but looks pretty decent.
We are not interested in trading for cars, trucks, livestock, Boats, or ATVs. I will consider other willys jeeps. Bring cash and the jeep will come with a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
Bill’s willing to sell his jeep for the right offer.
“I am thinking about selling my 1952 willys m38 and just want to see what interest is out there for it. It is a good running driving jeep. The engine has less than 1000 miles since it was rebuilt last spring. It is still 24 volt. Everything but the fuel gauge works. Tires are also new with about 1000 miles on them. The paint is not perfect but good for a driver jeep. I would be looking for $15,000 or best reasonable offer on this jeep. You could not build one for less. The photos show a winch on it, the winch would not be included with the sale. It is painted the original USAF strata blue. The trailer pictured as already been sold.”
