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 $2500.
This looks pretty stock and includes a rear PTO.
“I have a 1948 willy jeep for sale runs good tags good till this month Got it in a trade just want to get my money back or trade for a Chevy truck 60 thru 66 as long as it runs”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $900
This early M-38A1 is worth a look.
“If you look at it and the plate inside this use to be a Willy’s Jeep…a 1953 M38A1. At some point in time it was given a title as a 1965 CJ6A Jeep. A previous owner put in a 12 volt wiring harness but the switch and pedal are still in there to make it 24 again. It is being sold as is, needs work”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
It appears solid.

UPDATE: Sold. Was priced at $2500. They went quickly!
“For your consideration are two 1942 Ford Army Jeeps and a trailer. One has a production date of Feb 26, 1942 and the second has a production date of March 26, 1942. The Feb production Jeep has a serial number of GPW 557 which according to “All-American Wonder” The Military Jeep 1941-1945, this is the second lowest production number known, only surpassed by number 500 produced Feb. 13,1942. The second jeep produced in March has a serial number of GPW 9945, so as you can see, these are very early production Army Jeeps. Both are Script Jeeps which have the Ford lettering on the rear panel. Candidly, the March Jeep which is complete, is not as nice as the Feb. Jeep which would be worthy of a restoration. The Feb Jeep is totally disassembled. The engine for the Feb Jeep has been rebuilt, and the transmission/transfer case are good. The front and rear axels are also good. These are project Jeeps. There are more parts than are pictured. The trailer has a production date of December 1942. There is a set of 5 combat rims for the Jeep. The trailer has combat rims on it. There will be a lot of work to make a great restored Jeep, but all parts are available from advertisers in the publication “Supply Line” a publication of the Military Preservation Association which is a great organization for Military vehicles and would be worth joining. I have titles for both jeeps.”

“1947 Willy CJ-2A Flat Fender 4×4, Flat head 4 cylinder, 3 speed, 3 top , GOOD canvas top & doors, alum hard top, vinyl top, spare tire, 90% complete, with some extra parts.”
Maybe there’s some value here?
“Two 1948 Willy’s Jeeps. One is a CJ2 the other is the military jeep. The CJ is more complete than the military one. Between the two should be able to make one work. Both have the original engine and trans. Have pink for one not the other. Neither have been registered in so long they are not on record at the DMV. Email me with a phone number I will call you back. Price is OBO, I know they are rough, but to the right person they could run again or be great for original parts. I am looking for 4bt cummins motor or 12 valve cummins if you’d like to trade.”

George forwarded this nice looking GPW for sale in the UK.
“Her name is “Diana”
Our understanding is that this Jeep has always been in the UK from 1943 and was based with the U S 8th Air force.
Fully restored three years ago by a well known UK Jeep restorer during which time no expense was spared, she is virtually a brand new GPW and must be one of the very best. She drives without any issue’s and the side valve engine pulls very well.
Everything you could wish to specify this Jeep has, even down to her 1942 U S spec Jerry can.
A bonnet bag complete with a full weather kit is included also.
Also there is an (unfitted) “Ohio Brass” Ariel and mast kit complete with mounting bracket.
Not the cheapest GPW in the country but well worth every single penny, an appreciating asset.
She is 110% gorgeous and will not disappoint.”
Lots of updates to this jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
Maybe somebody could make a trailer out of it? It just looks sad!
“The jeep has a fair body. It is a 1948 cj2a. The frame was cut into two pieces from the previous owner. It could be welded back. I have the grill and fenders and front half also. No hood or windshield. I’m asking $500.00”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks like enough parts to make a jeep. Everything looks clean, too.
“This was a project jeep that was disassembled and is ready to put back together. all engine work done and transmission rebuilt. new complete body with fenders , windshield and hood. many original f-stamped parts. new combat rims and tires. all brake system new. original f-stamped radiator with new core. too much to list. over 10 grand invested will sacrifice for $7500.00.”
It sounds like this includes an overdrive. It might be a good price.

95% restored. All parts bought from Kaiser-Willys. I have all the receipts.
Everything works. To make it 100% need a new wiring harness.
History:
I bought this from Tennessee 4 months ago (Jeep in blue). Cleaned up all the holes and random gauges that were put on over the years. I loved the high hood cj3b. Lots of work has been done after I bought it, too many to list. See the pictures. I have lots of pictures from the restoration.
Serious buyers please. I don’t have truck to deliver it anywhere. Cash only.”
