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: Was listed at $7600. Now marked **SOLD**
James is regretfully selling his CJ-3A. The jeep was extensively rebuilt by Sam from Flatfender Willys (now in Chino Valley) and Sam says he’ll be happy to answer any questions it should the new owner have any. If you are looking for a nearly stock jeep that really is turn key, this is a great option.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This is a column shift with at least one small tag.
“I am listing my 1946 Willys Civilian Jeep. I has a good running 4 cylinder engine. It also comes equipped with a metal cab with doors and windows that open. This top is factory made and does a good job of keeping the weather out. The jeep also includes a tow bar for transporting it back and forth to deer camp. This is probably a 35 to 45 mph vehicle. It is not rusted out and has good tires. It has been partially converted over to 12 volts but the job needs to be completed before it can be driven for everyday use. located about a mile from the 326 exit off I 75. Can be seen most anytime.”
UPDATE: This dropped to $600!
(10/01/2013) It’s a project ready to be taken home.
“Jeep and 6 by 12 trailer , trailer is new , ramp on the front side and back , all original parts are there for jeep and some new parts, don’t have time and has to go, to many projects.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This may be worth a look.

This needs some work. I haven’t seen those rims for sale on a vehicle in quite a while.

Looking North to Walla Walla. Siri got us lost.
Still lost, but having fun. We even forgot to bring our good cameras.
On Friday, Ann scheduled a VA appointment in Walla Walla. Making the 45 minute trip there usually entails lunch, a visit to the Bread Company, and then a drive home. However, since I’d never been to Milton-Freewater, Oregon, we decided to extend the trip to include a drive into our neighboring state and return home along the Columbia River.
This is an overview of our route
This is a more detailed look at it.
All was going well, until I asked SIRI to guide us from Walla Walla to Milton-Freewater. While I generally knew that MF was to the south of us, I didn’t know exactly where. So, I gave SIRI a chance to shine. At first she seemed confident, ordering us right, then left, then right, then left, until we were heading south on some rural roads toward the hills.
Soon, we were climbing, first on paved roads, then on gravel roads, then on rocky roads. Yet, SIRI didn’t give up. She continued to have a path mapped out. We assumed it was some kind of short cut. Thankfully, Henry (the jeep) surmounted every obstacle in his path.
Charles found these at WW2 Archives and a few other places.
UPDATE: This sold for $6250 on eBay.
Dave’s selling his low mileage, stock CJ-5 Trencher. This will make a great vehicle for someone. I got a chance to look at this during our trip this past summer. It was a bit dustier then.
“I’ve been chasing Jeep vehicles for several decades and this is the nicest, lowest mileage, most original Jeep I’ve ever run across – especially considering that is will be FIFTY years old next year!
If you can find a 1964 CJ-5 with fewer miles, more original, and with more factory options on it – then buy it and not this one…
This Jeep was originally purchased by a local Steel company for the sole purpose of installing a sprinkler system in a golf course that they owned. I was told that oncethat task was completed it pretty much simply just stayed in the company garage of vehicles being
driven occaisionally and inspected each year! I’ve owned it for probably fifteen or twenty years now and am not able to enjoy it as I should be doing so its time to find it a new home. As the new owner, you’ll be only the third owner of this FIFTY year old Jeep and “Bubba” never had his hands on this one to mess it all up!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It’s not a great specimen, but this jeep was one of a couple thousand jeeps reconditioned/remanufactured by the Allison Steel Manufacturing Corporation. Learn more about the remanufacturing program here.
“Im listing this jeep for a friend: Very Rare March 1942 Ford GPW World War 2 Jeep. This one is very interesting because its a WW2 Willy’s MB frame stamped GPW 6559. As you can tell by the number its early for a WW2 Jeep. And the date plates on the glove box match the frame numbers of GPW 6559. There is a Reconditioning Date plate on the center of the dash saying that it was reconditioned in Phoenix Arizona on February 1945!
The engine is out of a M38A1 and runs well from what we can tell. It was reconditioned by Ralph’s Machine Shop from San Jose, Ca. in December 1976. The transmission is a MB T84. It don’t shift do to 1 tooth broken off. The inside of the transmission looks very clean. The transfer is a Ford GPW marked.
The front seats are in excellent condition and are “F” marked and so are the fenders(no rust on fenders) and some other bolts on the jeep because its a GPW body. Floors have rust by don’t look too bad. Data Plates are original, one is steel and the others are brass. Rear of body is skinned, original sheet metal is still underneath. Gauges are original except for the temperature gauge. Steering box is “F” marked. We believe it has a M38 gas tank? Front window frame in great shape, inner is in good shape except for the inner center bar which can be easily replaced. Brake system is dry, no fluid. Front and rear of frame need work near the bumpers. Please check out the pictures.
He was planning to restore it but already has one he is working on. One of the Outstanding things about this jeep is the low serial numbers of 6559 and the MB frame stamped GPW! Meaning Ford used Willys frames at the factory. And that the data plates match the frame, all Very Cool. Definately worth a restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000

Mike, who’s admitted he’s addicted to searching for jeeps everywhere (welcome to the club!), spotted this one for sale. He reports there is rust and no data plates. The odd part about this M-38 is the lack of a driver’s side filler hole.

From afar this looks good.

It has 750-16 six ply tires, a 20 gallon fuel tank and a one piece front seat, it has a winch on the front and there are dual wheel adapters for the back. A big sheet of metal protects the bottom for rough going.
After the rebuild project I drove it about 5 miles, then a heart attack plus crohns disease made me park it in the shed and I haven’t been able to use it, so somebody else should. I have pictures but so far I haven’t been able to load them into this ad, anybody interested can let me know via email if they would like to see them.”
UPDATE: Was $17,900. **Status Unknown**
(09/08/2013) This looks beautiful.
“As the pictures show, when i restored the Willy’s it was kept all original with the exception of a 12 volt conversion. I drove it for 2 years before doing a full restoration. I purchased the Willy’s in 1993 from an airplane pilot living in Brookings Oregon, i have driven and owned it since then (20 years). He took meticulous care of it and kept all records of repair. I have original bill of sale and history. It’s a 4 X 4, hi and low range with a factory WARN Overdrive and locking hubs. It has 62K miles total, it was rebuilt at about 45K. Everything works and it drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
(08/26/2013) Ran when parked.
“1961 Willys Delivery Panel, 4 wheel drive, small block 283 power with only 500 miles! It ran a couple of years ago but has been parked since. All valves have been backed off. Fuel tank removed when it was parked, T90 transmission, 5.38 differentials. Extra parts that are included and are all NEW: carburetor, electronic ignition, new electronic fan.
Minimal body rust, minimal interior rust, needs some glass, no battery, needs tires. The only real dent it has is a small one on the driver’s side rear door (see picture). It includes Chilton’s service book.”
