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 .
Here’s a slate in some cold April weather on the “New British Columbia Highway to Alaska”.
“This is an original press photo. Photo measures 8.5 x 6.75inches. Photo is dated 04-10-1942.”

There appears to be a full ACME wire story that accompanies this photo (and others based on the text in the 2nd photo). The photo was taken 06/20/1942. The story (Jeepers Creepers) I think I have somewhere . . .

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50
Not in perfect condition, but is better priced than others I’ve seen.
“This item is in good vintage condition. Press the handle to make the lighter pop up. Top of the jeep opens to hold cigarettes and the wagon serves as an ashtray.
I have not cleaned it as I don’t want to damage it in any way.
It will need to be fueled up and have a flint installed.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $6000.
Looks great for the price.

I purchased this Jeep a few years back from a local farmer that had it sitting in his shop for years and drove it during local parades. Well I purchased it thinking I would like to complete the restore and keep it for a long time. Well as life goes things get in the way and I need to sell it. I did nothing to it except put a new battery in it and started it and drove it from the storage unit to home about once a year. Starts and runs great, Always Stored inside – Black Canvas top looks brand new.
1. Converted to 12Volt System
2. Excellent condition for the age.
3. Great Looking Jeep
Clear title that I will transfer if desired.
Buyer is responsible for pick up — If it is local to my area I will consider delivery – We can possibly work out something

This appears to have a MB/GPW replacement body and a M-38 windshield. For some reason the windshield isn’t pulled tight to the cowl.

“Please be sure to click on the following URL to view all the pictures of this Jeep: 1945 Willys Jeep for saleYou are looking at a 1940s Willys Jeep that needs everything to be restored, but is mostly complete and would make a great project if you’re looking for one of these! What you see is what you get, and I do have an old 1945 title for it (hasn’t been registered in a very long time). It’s got a cool galvanized metal top that looks factory built (not just some cheesy home-made jobby) I think it’s a Sears and Roebuck. Engine is seized up, and vehicle is a total rusty project, but at $1250, it would make a cool, cheap yard ornament until you get around to fixing it up! Thanks for looking.”

This is a pic from January 2012 on eBay. compare the bumper, grille, fender bulge, top, and more.

(11/07/2013) This has an unusual bumper. It also might have an engine issue.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A, This is the first civilian jeep ever produced. It has the original 4cyl flathead engine, and is more or less original. This is a fun car to drive around town on a nice day or an unstoppable deer camp jeep. This thing is like a goat, it will climb over or go through anything without skipping a beat, especially with the new set of buckshot wide mudders I have on it.
First the bad: I was driving it about a month ago when the oil pressure went out and it died on my. I think it slipped a bearing but I am not positive. In short, it will probably need some degree of engine rebuild.
The good: These thing are extremely easy to work on and parts are readily available and relatively cheap. I can start the engine and you can hear it run, but it loses power under load so you can’t drive it around. I have replace the entire brake assembly (drums, shoes, master and wheel cylinders, etc…) and it was running good around town when the engine went out.
Please call or text me if you have any questions… (six zero one) 988-5924”

“1950 jeep project worth the money in parts $850 obo or $ 1300.with top jim”
I’m taking today off, but here’s one post for everyone.
James Turner from Mississippi emailed me the other day. A self-described ‘jeep freak’, James and his brother bought their first jeep, a 1947 CJ-2A, in 2008. Out of it they created a nice looking military replica. Since then they’ve added a 1942 GPW they are currently restoring, a 1952 M-38A1 that looks in great shape, a 1951 M-38 that they plan to restore and a 1946 CJ-2A. At this rate they’ll soon have their own private jeep force.
Here’s the 1947 CJ-2A they restored:
This is James’ 1952 M-38A1:
You can see they have some work to do on this M-38:
Steve forwarded this website which specializes in used Eastern European Tanks, Trucks and 4WD vehicles. The Prague based company, MORTAR INVESTMENTS, claims it is “a global dealer in soviet, post-communist, namely Russian, Czechoslovak (Czech and Slovak), Polish and Hungarian military vehicles, tanks, BMPs, howitzers, trucks, jeeps,motorbikes and armaments for civilian purposes and specialist in armoured vehicles repairs,demilitarisations, reconstructions, restorations and refurbishments.”
One example: GAZ-69 Project for $3896
This is a project, but the site does have some suggestions for importing into the USA, including the necessary forms.
In Nov of 2012 this GPW was on eBay. It also appears earlier here.. It was eventually sold to a dealer in the UK who in turn sold it to David Fairhead. David is wondering if anyone knows who the seller from Pennsylvania. He’s hoping to learn more information about its history. (BTW, he’s already successfully found some additional info at G503 — it was originally in Maryland).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Good starting bid price.
