About eWillys
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.
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 .
“1948 Willys for sale. Was partially restored about 20 years ago. It has several leaks from sitting. It will run feeding gas through the carb but that’s as far as I’ve tried. Brakes do not work but new lines on front and I have new lines for the back still packaged. Lots of spare parts. Has back seat but isn’t installed in pictures. Also have canvas for the top but no frame. Clean title in hand. Asking 7000 obo”
“Willys CJ3A for sale. Not sure about year. Not running but motor is not locked up. Tires are flat. Engine is an International slant 4 cylinder out of an International Scout. Mileage unknown. Sold as is with no title. Body is really rough”
“1965 Willys Jeep CJ5 Mark Park Edition. 4cyl head is missing. Body is in decent shape, seat frames are good. I have a 4.3L to go with it. $1000 OBO. No title”
“Early CJ6. Not sure of the year. Would be good for a donor vehicle if you are working on a CJ6 or a CJ5. Front and rear axles alone should be worth asking price of $500. Or will trade for jeep parts. Located between Centerton and Gravette. Thanks, Dan.”
Here I am Wednesday finishing up the lettering Ann made using her Cricut machine. We’ll see if they hold up!
On Thursday we loaded up for our six-hour drive to the west side of the state for Summer Convention. This weekend was very much a test weekend, for the motorhome, for the race jeep, for the trailer carrying the race jeep, etc. And, it didn’t take long for us to run into a problem. When I attempted to hook the trailer to the back of the motorhome, I discovered the hitch and ball did not sit low enough, so when I hooked up the trailer, it was sitting at too much of an angle. Arghhhh! Since we planned to take the truck anyway (just in case we had a problem), we just hooked the trailer to the truck, which Ann drove.
Race jeep loaded and ready for the road.
We arrived early to get a good camping spot and to get through the tech inspection. An old jeep friend Mike Julsrud was manning the clipboard, so it was great to catch up with him. Many ears ago we raced against each other in the 20 and under class, called the “Under the Hill Gang”; these days, we are “way over the Hill Gang”, lol.
On Friday morning, following the 8am driver’s meeting, Ann accompanied me and other racers on a parade lap of the obstacle and cross country courses. It’s a nice way for folks to tour the courses together, get a sense of where to drive, and a great community event. One concern bubbled up during our drive, the engine got a little hotter than it should have. One suggestion was that the timing might need to shift slightly, so I’ll give that a try. The good news is that, during my first run, the temp stayed where it should.
Me at the driver’s meeting with Betty Page and Lizzy in tow. The dogs came with us this weekend and, to our surprise and relief, were really well behaved!
As we waited for the parade lap to begin, Diana Stafford photo bombed us in the Stafford’s race jeep.
Here we are starting the parade lap on the obstacle course. This course was more wide open than the cross country course, which is where the jeeps went next. That truck in front of us wasn’t racing; it was just taking the opportunity to tour the track.
In this first video that Ann took, we were on the obstacle course, I was puttering along in 2nd gear, low range, but the video makes it seem like I was going faster:
Here’s a second video Ann shot just a few seconds later: Continue reading →
This summer’s Dispatcher Magazine included some highlights from the Great Willys Picnic, the Willys Rally, and the Spring Willys Reunion. It also included histories of AM General and the Willy 6×6, plus articles on block crack repairs and the Jeep Guy’s Museum, whose billboard we saw as we drove north through Utah, though we didn’t stop because 1) we were on a time crunch and 2) we didn’t know if the parking lot could accommodate the coach.
This is worth a look. It appears to have a replacement body. Listed as a 1951, I can’t tell if it was originally an M-38 or CJ-3A or something else, though it does have a 2A windshield.

“A previous owner wished to pay a fitting tribute to his uncle, converting this 1948 Willys CJ-2A into a military-style vehicle for parades and displays. It served nobly in that role and has done so intermittently since the current owner purchased it in 2016. However, all good things must end. The owner no longer has the time to devote to this classic, which has seen little recent use. Therefore, he has listed the Willys exclusively with us as a Barn Finds Auction.”
“1952 m38 willys. Nice little jeep. Body is in great shape. It was takin all apart and rebuilt about 4 or 5 years ago. Engine was rebuilt. New side panels. New wiring. Has led tail lights and a 7 way trailer plug. Could use New tires, but they still do the job. Runs great. Two things that need attention are, the amp meter and output shaft seal on the transmission. The amp meter did work, so probably an easy fix. The seal isn’t even necessary to do. But the small drip has saturated the park brake band, so the park brake is pretty much useless. Parts to fix it are cheap, I just never cared to do it. Oh the seats are also not the best. They’re not stock. They’re out of a 65 mustang. Factory replacement seats aren’t exactly cheap, so I never bothered. It’s a fun little rig for the summer time. Clear title in hand. Thanks for looking.”
“Post war Willys jeep, 33 inch swampers PTO Warn industries winch Rhino lined floor boards Always garaged Newer carburetor Motor swapped to Ford 289 V8”
“Just rescued from the farm! Way cool, completely original plow Jeep with a Koenig Iron Works hard top. Engine is stuck, but I don’t think it’s badly stuck because the carb is freely functioning. This is a great foundation for a restoration and priced right.”
