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 .

Alex du Prel from Tahiti-Pacifique magazine shared these D-Day photos.

This French built Arnault jeep featured at oldwoodies is probably one-of-a-kind.

It’s a project that might be worth a look.
“I am selling a 1963 Willy CJ-5. This is an all original Jeep that I have owned and rebuilt.
I bought it from a farm in Northborough, MA several years ago and did a basic restoration. I wanted to decorate it in US Navy style and researched how Navy Jeeps were painted to have her decorated as a military Jeep. Navy Jeeps were a little different than the ones the Army used but helped the Navy & Marines get where they needed to go.
I have been unable to drive it lately and would like to sell her to someone who appreciates it as much as I do. She drives like a basic jeep and starts right up. She has been sitting for the past few years while I was overseas. She needs a little TLC so I want to state this is not a showroom condition vehicle.
I cut off all the rusty metal and redid the floors when I rebuilt her…..She is road worthy but still could use some final touches to make her even better. She is in need of a tune-up and the muffler has seen better days…..Overall I would rate her as a condition “3” on a scale from 1 -5.
I have driven her around the local area and all who saw her were thrilled to see a 50 yr old original jeep riding around town.
I have made sure that she is “all original ” and only added parts that were original to the Jeep. No aftermarket add-ons or other accessories. She runs strong and has lots of life in her.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It runs and drives.
“This is a pretty decent old Jeep, which I bought to fix up but now need to move due to other projects. I bought it from a man who was selling off his grandfather’s ranch vehicles – he therefore couldn’t tell me anything about it, but it appears that the Jeep received quite a bit of attention from someone about 30 years ago, when the last plates expired: the motor appears to have been rebuilt, new wiring installed, the drivers seat recovered, etc. Again, that was 30 years ago, but the motor (if it was rebuilt) makes this Jeep worth it alone. It runs very smoothly and burns no oil, which backs up appearances. I have tried to get it adjusted to run well but it could still use a little fine-tuning, carb-wise.
The drivetrain sounds good (no ugly bearing/gear noise). The tires all match, have lots of tread, good tubes in them, but they are weather-checked. I do have a set of mounted new tires for $500 if the buyer wants them. The body is rusty in places but complete and not a basket-case. There is no top, but my friend has a vintage aluminum, wool-insulated top that fits this Jeep that he’d sell cheap. The battery is new, and the charging system works great. The engine keeps cool and has good oil pressure and, dare I say, no leaks. This Jeep has the rare and expensive factory PTO which is hooked up to a winch, which is probably junk – I have not tried to get it working.
Last winter I got the master cylinder to hold pressure and then gave up on the brakes without really trying, so it needs brakes. Other than that, it needs the lights wired up, and it should be ready to go. That’s about all I can say since I haven’t really driven it around. Prospective buyers can drive it around my block and into the parking lot next door to feel it out.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
(06/09/2013) Body is fiberglass. Lots of updates.
“This is a Beautiful Willys Jeep, has a full fiberglass body (no rust), painless wiring harness, fuel cell, power steering and brakes has a soft top and bikini top.

It includes a hardtop.
Ok… Here it is. I as selling my Willys Jeep. It has been my daily driver for the last 2 years and runs great.
It has the Dauntless V6 with the T-90 tranny connected to a Dana 18. I believe it has the axles from a late 60’s to early 70’s CJ-5. The Dana 27 front and Dana 44 rear. It’s running 3.73 gears. It will do 75 on the freeway. Power steering. The intake is leaking oil, I have the gasket, just haven’t got around to changing. It only leaks when it’s running anyway.
I have a hard top for it with the doors. I put it on for the winter. It has a heater.
It’s running on 35’s. Can’t think of anything else right now. $3500 is the price . It’s a good deal just look around. Running, Driving ’43 Jeep with Hard top. Oh, it has collector plates… never need tabs. Title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
The engine’s not a flathead, as the seller indicates, but it is supposed to have been rebuilt. This might be worth a look for parts.
“I am trying to help my dad sell this Jeep. He had intentions to build but never got around to it. Approximately 1952. Has rebuilt L4 flat head engine. Needs tires, brakes, & rear drive shaft. Engine has never been ran since rebuild. $700 obo”

This has been partially disassembled.
“I have a M38 Willys Jeep that I have started to restore so it is partially disassembled. The engine and transmission is almost ready to come out to be rebuilt. The attached photos are of BEFORE restoration was started. This is not a running jeep. If you are looking for a project, this is a good one. I am not desperate to sale and will not give it away. M38’s are some of the most rare jeeps ever built. I just don’t have time right now to finish the project. If you are interested text or call me at 901-four eight two-3053. I don’t need help selling and if its still listed its still for sale. might consider trades. come look at it and make an offer”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
(08/10/2013) (This engine/generator has been sitting in a barn for 5 years. I wonder if there’s a plate that marks this as a 1945 or if it’s a guess.
“1945 Willys Jeep CJ-2A 60hp Engine
The 1945 Willys Jeep was called
Universal for it was the first civilian jeep they made.
This engine is being used for a generator and has mostly,
been sitting in the barn for 35 years.”

(011/17/2011) This appears solid.
“1950 Willy Overland Jeep CJ3A
The body is a little rough. It is a good hunting rig as is. The engine, transmission, transfer case and front end was all rebuilt about 10 years ago. This jeep has a 10 gallon aluminum gas tank in the back of the jeep. A metal plate has been welded into place where the tailgate once was. This unit is pretty rare because it has a stock high /low range gears on a 3 speed transmission, which means you actually have 6 forward and 2 reverse, not including when you put it into 4 wheel. All running gear is stock, engine is a flathead. This thing will climb just about anything. Since rebuild on running gear 10 years ago we have only put a cuople thousand miles on it. Notice the front picture behind the towbar! That is a Ramsey 12,000lb winch in excellent shape, you could hang this jeep in a tree with that winch. I installed a smaller winch cable since the jeep is so much lighter than the pickup it was intended for. The smaller winch cable allowed me to get more footage on the spool.”
I bought a cheap copy of the May 5, 1942, issue of Life Magazine off ebay the other day. In it I found these photos on page 8-11. It was a failed effort to slide a jeep across a river by cable.
Before I show a the hanging jeep, I wanted to share the photo below that shows some jeeps aboard a vessel of some sort.
Here’s the jeep by cable from pages 8-11. You can view the magazine on Google.
