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 .
Someone asked me about bow bracket windshield bolts, but I forgot who.
Claus found the answer. Up to S/N 22xxx the bolt heads(?) were square. After S/N the bolt heads were rounded. He can confirm that he had a CJ-2A of 225xx that had rounded ones, so it had to be before that 2A.
In August of 1946 Fortune published an article called “Willys Overland”. The description reads, This jeep riding independent is taking new leases on life and its own real estate. The boys in the back room are doing fine.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This former movie jeep looks like a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Willys M38 Jeep used as team vehicle in Major League 3 “Back to the Minors”
The movie production company rented this Jeep from me and painted the black “bumblebee stripes” on it in 1998 for the movie.
Click on the link below, to the movie and at 12 minutes into the movie, you will see the Jeep drive into view during the airport scene………………..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3iq9u0Bhj0
The Jeep is rust free and has been stored inside my warehouse for the past 30 years, except for the week it was used to film the movie.
This M38 is in extremely good condition and rust free. I bought thisM38 Jeep from the South Carolina Highway Department on Shop Road, in Columbia, SC. The SCHD shop used it as a “pusher” on their yard since the mid 1950’s, hence the extremely low miles under 5000. Please view posted photos!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Besides missing the rear of the jeep, it doesn’t have ww2 axles. So, I would suggest looking this over carefully.
“1944 GPW military flat fender Jeep – 5 new all directional tires (military stock) – runs perfect – 12 volt conversion – clean title and current registration –
PS: This is cash and carry ONLY – don’t bother me with the BS stories of being away, or being on an off-shore rig, or having your “agent” be in touch – I will not reply and simply forward your email to the scam and phishing folks at craigslist and local law enforcement.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
Lots of extras.
“1948 jeep heavy modifed chev v/8, 4 speed, overdrive, onboard air, onboard welder, 4 wheel disc brakes, 35 inch tires, 538 gears,camping boxs, much more.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
Runs, drives and plows.
“Plow yourself out in style. 1953 Willys pickup with hydraulic snowplow operated off engine. F134, 4×4, 3sp trans. Runs and drives great. Handled yesterday’s 10″ of snow on my 400′ of driveway just fine.
Body has a couple welds and dings but overall is very solid. Good candidate for restore or just use as is around the house, farm, or town.”
Here’s a Parkway Conversion Dan found.
“1958 Willys Jeep Wagon with the double rear “barn doors”. Runs and drives. Has excellent tires. One of only 536 made with the barn doors this year. Does have some rust in the body as shown in the photographs. Has a clear Montana title.”

UPDATE: Was $700. **SOLD**
No pictures of the other parts.
“Complete with all parts except engine, windshield frame and seats. Body and under chassis is in good condition. Good project car.”
Were these used in jeeps? It they were, I thought someone might find it interesting.
“You are bidding a Portable Generator with 2 cycle engine. Engine has compression and spark. Will need work to make it run. Complete unit with all parts. Has tool box with additional brushes and spare parts inside. Handles on two sides of engine for carrying. Might require 2 people to carry. Engine is 2 cycle but you must use 30W non detergent oil mixed with fuel. todays 2 cycle oil is not heavy enough for this equipement. Be warned because use of other oil or lighter oil will cause damage.
I believe it is a WWII Military generator used in aircraft and jeep radio’s or other application. Gauges and generator seem to be all complete and in good condition. These make a weird sound and are loud when running. Tank cap needs new part for pressure relief cap. Has primer. Generator is for radios and air craft machinary requiring 120 V 400HZ. Only lights can be used if not designed for 400 hz or an adapter to adjust the hz.Collector item.
Signal Corps Power Unit PU-6/TPS-1
Duel Voltage generator
Model 13A120D28-1
120Volt AC, 28 DC, 14.3 Amp
Looks to be in good condition for its age,
Will need some work to clean out the gas tank and carb
It is a 2 cycle engine with an aluminum gas tank so its not rusty.”

UPDATE: I haven’t seen a Craigslist ad for this place since last year.
This place looks interesting. How about that first pic?
“I have parts for MB, CJ-2A, 3A, 3B, 5’s, and for Willys trucks and wagons. Please let me know if your looking for a certain part. If I don’t have I can probably find it! I also have many vehicles that would make great starter projects for restorations or rock crawlers”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $4300
It’s supposed to have only 7,917 miles on it. This may be worth a look.
“I have a 1955 Willy’s CJ-5 (First year of the CJ-5). Extremely rare find in this condition with only 7,917 original miles. It has been garaged almost it’s entire life. I picked this one up from the original owner and spent some time on it to get it back into driving shape. Now runs and drives, still 6-volt, everything completely stock and original. Even the original paint is in good shape! Have the original owners manual and promo poster to go with it.”
UPDATE: Sold. Was priced at $19,000.
“1952 M38 Ser.#65578 Original 24 volt, water fording, condition with added: Tow Bar, M-1 rifle rack, radio and overdrive.”
The seller notes there are no dents, yet it looks to me like there is a dent in the front driver’s corner. This lacks windshield wipers, too.
“FOR SALE ; 1958 WILLYS JEEP FC 150 PICKUP ,ORIGINAL CONDITION , 4CYL ,3 SPD,4WHEEL DRIVE,NEW BRAKES AND TIRES,VERY LITTLE RUST, NO DENTS,DRIVERS DOOR GLASS CRACKED , RUNS AND DRIVES GOOD.”

Eric forwarded this, wondering if this came with matching seats! The seller indicates he “knows what I have” yet doesn’t seem to know he has a CJ-3B.
“selling this 47 jeep.
besides rust and paint,
this is an awsome jeep!!
leaks no oil, and no water.
needs wiring but when i got it the guy hot wired it.
it ran well.
even has some orig. tires!
now the CONS:
needs new batt,
new tires,
wiring,
clutch,
and brake work.
has PTO…for tractor attachments!!
also
it has no tital, or vin #s
you would have to get some #s put on it..
its actually easy..
its the same process as a bung buggy..

ill take cash or trades (preferably guns)”

I suspect there’s been work on the body. The drains hole is missing.
“1946 jeep CJ2A. Great body. Needs fuel tank. Have a boat gas tank in it right now. Been in storage. Was going to restore but Don’t have time nor money. Needs a new home. Has a ford 2.0 engine swap. Rest is all original. Also comes with original military tires and wheels. Email questions.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3450
(08/02/2012) “VERY good body!! No cracks in windshield and back glass, and as you can see… original tailgate stenciling is still alive and well! Even has an original equipment, “kerosene flair & flag kit!!” How cool is that?!? Engine (Original) has been started but will need a rebuild. If you’re not in the mood to rebuild… A perfect engine swap is the 60 degree V-6 Chev found in S-10 pick-ups and others.”
