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 .
Nate’s buddy is looking for a good L-134 block for his jeep. If you think you have something, email Nate at bolducn20@aol.com. You might remember Nate from the CJ-3A projects he has tackled.
“I am looking for a flat head 4 cyl 134 cubic inch engine for a Willys jeep, mainly a good block for a CJ2A, 3A, MB, ect. Will buy either a complete engine or just a block.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

“1946 Willys Jeep. NO Top included, Well maintained, Runs and drives if as new. Rims and Tires look brand new.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has no title. It runs.
“This 1947 Jeep Willys was purchased in 1986 and has no title. it does however have a colorado VIN inspection and was cleared. it can be titled in any state … just needs some paperwork done. the VIN inspection and a bill of sale which i will provide. it was used very little for hunting on private roads so it wasnt titled in colorado. it was a project my grandfather wanted to do 25 years ago. it runs great has a Buick V6 231. it has chevrolet steering. the brakes work … just need to be bled as it has been sitting in a shed for some years now but i have been running it and with some TLC it will be a very nice vehicle again. we have a spare tire for it but it was flat so it is at the repair shop now being fixed.”
This appears in great shape, though the pics aren’t the best.

Lots of mods on this crawler.

UPDATE: Was $5000. Status Unknown.
The rear has been lengthened. However, unclear when this mod was completed. There have been other mb/gpws with lengthened rears. However, the bench seat are definitely an eyesore.
“Take a gander at what I have here………..The previous owner did a nice custom job adding 16″ to the overall length with bench seats!!! This one of a kind Ford GPW jeep has a Kaiser Supersonic flat head 4 cyl that runs and drives. This is an awesome trail buggy/ two-tracker ( and summer is right around the corner) or a nice rare find for someone who wants to restore an original one. I have the original title from the first owner when he bought it in 1962.
Serious inquiries, equal trades, and reasonable offers will be pondered, looking for black rifles, Kalashnikovs, Ammo, a nice motorcycle who knows”
Hard to say how much value is here.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I’m gonna guess that was a VEC CJ-2A body. It’s rough.
“1956 Willy’s Jeep. Has all the parts on it, except the steering wheel. Would be a great project, motor needs to be gone through. Bought it for $3,000 for my son, he went with a truck instead now I need it gone. Willing to take a lose on it, $2,000 is a great deal.”

“Great hunting and go anywhere Jeep. Drive train is amazing and works fine. Light rust from aging but is definitely worth a look. if interested call at 478-318-5425 willing to negotiate.”

<– Day 1- March 18th-19th: Phoenix Az or Bust! | Overview | Day 3 Part II – March 20th Part 2: Canyon De Chelly National Monument –>
Exploring just northwest of Moab, Utah, with the La Sal Mountains int he background.
We began the morning in Moab. Our goal was to explore Moab some, then head south for Canyon De Chelly, then onward to Phoenix.
This post covers the first part of our drive, from Moab towards Canyon De Chelly. Canyon De Chelly is covered in follow up second post.
Our first stop of the day was north of Moab along Highway 313. It’s BLM land were I used to camp when visiting Moab. I’d throw a sleeping back on the slick rock and sleep under the stars. That was back in 2000-2003. Now, this area is closed to camping. It is one of the downsides of the rise in tourism in the area.
Next, we continued along Highway 313 toward Dead Horse Point State Park. It’s has amazing vista overlooking Canyonlands National Park, with it’s twisting, turning rivers wriggling amongst a vast rocky landscape. The views are incredible, even on a cloudy morning. I’m sure on a sunny, cloudless morning, the rock would be a bright reddish-orange.
Roberto just completed an illustration of a Jeepster. He’s thinking of creating some black t-shirts with the Jeepster on it. If you are interested in having him do that, comment below or contact him at http://www.robertoflores.com
Art’s favorite military supply store, Supply Sergeant, is in his old stomping ground of Bakersfield, CA. The store includes a M-38.
Here’s the original post from Facebook at Jeep Thing
UPDATE: This could be a blue star hardtop. The photo was on eBay.
The jeep is small in the photo, but I thought the hard top looked interesting. The rear window has an angle in back and it looks like the front door has a very small window. This is a reprinted photo.
Good price on a large, hard to find ad.
“This is a 1945 Vintage magazine advertisement for Mobiloil/Any G.I. on Any Jeep will tell you Regular machine service in “Gospel in the Army.” This is an original advertisement that was featured in Life magazine.
Size: approx. 10.5 x 13.5″

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This runs and drives and includes a trailer!
” I completely rebuilt this Jeep in 2005, ground up. Engine overhaul, brakes, steering, everything rebuilt or replaced as needed. Transmission and transfer were overhauled and the 4WD works great. It has a new body and the tub was sprayed with bed liner inside and underneath. I converted it to 12V for better lighting. It has some surface rust, but NO rust through.
It has been sitting in my shed for several years due to my disability, but was completely serviced and driven last month. I removed the steering wheel so I could in it, I’m fat!”
UPDATE: Was auctioned on eBay. **SOLD**
This is a great restoration of a rare Ford M-38. I wish the pictures were bigger.
“This is one of the nicest M38’s in Canada. It was restored approximately 10 years ago. Driven for 1 year and stored in a climate controlled environment since. Jeep runs like clock work – everything works. A lot of NOS parts were used throughout the restoration.
The jeep has 5 new original Goodyear tires (soft). The driveline was completely rebuilt from both axles to the transmisison, transfercase and engine.

The seller claims the only body mod is the hood scoop, but the drain hole has been filled and the bow holders removed. I’m only being picky, because the seller wants a lot for it. This does have the square bow holder windshield brackets, three data plates, and the full floating rears. This must have been a really early VEC. It only has 1 hood latch.
“THIS MOSTLY ORIGINAL JEEP FEATURES AN UPGRADED, LATER MODEL JEEP 4 CYLINDER OHV ENGINE IN PLACE OF ITS ORIGINAL “GO DEVIL” FLAT 4. THE MORE POWERFUL ENGINE CAME WITH AN IMPROVED CARBURETOR ( REQUIRING A HOOD SCOOP-ITS ONLY BODY MOD). THE RED EXTERIOR BODY IS ALL ORIGINAL.
