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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300
This might be worth a look.
“Perfect for hunting season! 4X4. Runs and drives good. Chevy 4 cyl. New tires, oversized ($800). wench and tow bar. Will trade”
This looks pretty rough. I suspect this will take a lot to make it roadworthy.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A has original flathead four cylinder, original trans and transfer case as well as axles. It has all matching serial tags, frame, firewall, etc. The body has some rust . I have a roll bar for this model in mint shape and original seat frames. It can be a family project. I have all DMV forms to register. It won’t take much to drive on the road when it is ready.

“What you’re looking at is a 1953* Willys CJ3B Parts Jeep. It’s a bit far gone, I originally bought it as a parts jeep for my CJ3A, and now am in need of a bit of cash flow. I didn’t take anything off of it, it’s as is from where I bought it. There is an F-Head engine and transmission where the passenger seat should be, it is not included in this sale, if you’d like to purchase it or parts off of it please contact me.

UPDATE 2: This is a hard book to find.
UPDATE: I just finished reading this book. I was hooked from page 1. It’s an amazing tale about a man who starts the war in Norway as a Commando whose team is trying to disrupt Nazi attempts to create an Atomic bomb. Soon, he is fighting in North Africa, where he becomes a POW. Eventually he escapes and becomes a medic at the Russian front for the Russians as they advance westward. Some of the details are surprising and unexpected. While with the Russians he finds a jeep. Commandeering it, he begins a risky trek westward with a questionable priest.
Copies of the book can be found:

As part of the original post, I found this blog entry related to Woolfs jeep journey.
Tim found this potential deal on a parts CJ-5 (or possible restoration).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
This sure looks like a good price.
“1952 US Army M38A1 Willys Jeep
A running, driving 1952 M38A1 Jeep. It has been restored, but it is an older restoration. It has been a fun around town driver for me for the last year and a half. It is not perfect, but it is a complete, original (as in all the parts are there) jeep. Has a rarer depot rebuilt engine. Leave as, tinker with on the weekends, or do a complete tear down. Still has the 24v electrical system. All fluids changed when I bought it. Tires have age cracking. Have a new set of rubber brake lines.”
This may be worth a look.

Joe spotted this RUNNING Lefty. He needs someone to buy it so that it doesn’t end up at his house.
“All original, clear title and it runs!”
It doesn’t run, but this might be a fun project.

Mark just posted this over at warjeeps.com.
“This rare seat came out of a 1952 M38A1 and it will also work in an M38 Military Jeep as well. It has the original canvas bottom seat but is missing the back cushion. The bottom seat canvas cushion is in good condition for being 61 years old and C Frame is in good condition as well. I am asking $350.00 …a fair price.”

Steve forwarded this ad. The motor is seized.
“This is a engine from a 1940 Willys Americar model 440, although I think it was last in a Willys Jeep because of the CJ2A motor mounts and oil pan. It has some unusually characteristics, like the head, dipstick, manifolds, carburetor etc..
IT DOES NOT RUN! It is seized from sitting. Make no mistake, this engine is for parts or rebuild only.
Key words; Willy, MB, GPW, universal.

“I am selling our willys jeep, it is a cj2a all original. The body is in very good shape, some very minor rust issues. The glass is in mint shape, original seats are there, need upholstery. We haven’t driven in about 8 years, so probably need to be towed out. My brother tows cars and I can work something out if a tow is needed. I have title for jeep as well. Please email for contact info, thanks.”
