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: Status Unknown. Was listed at $8000
The pics are small, but the jeep sure looks good.

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(02/24/2013) This looks like a great restoration project.
“Up for auction is a 1951 Willys M38 Jeep project. I purchased this jeep a few years ago from a local School District.
From what I am told this jeep has been owned by the School district since 1967. I have the maintenance records since 1967. It was used to pull a gang mower for years Than at some point a snow plow was installed and used a couple of times each year . The rest of the time it just sat always inside. In 2007 they pushed it a little to hard and seized up the engine. It did run after it cooled down but sounds like it has bad bearings now. That was the last time it was used. After sitting inside the shop for two more years it was sent to the auction to be sold and I hauled it home.
My intention was to do a frame off restoration not back to original but keep it close to stock. I have disassembled this jeep. The frame has been sandblasted, primed and painted. front and rear bumpers and bumperetts were replaced. New springs and shocks have been installed. Front and rear DIffs were disassembled cleaned and reassembled with new seals and gaskets along with new wheel cylinders and brake shoes.
Paint is the original green color.
Wheels have been sandblasted and repainted and tires remounted with new tubes.
The frame is now back on it’s wheels.
At this point I don’t think I will ever finish this project so I have decided to sell.
This jeep is not a rust bucket, keep in mind It has been inside for 46 years. The tub has some damage to both rear corners that can be repaired . The under side of the tub was undercoated so there is not a lot of rust. (see pictures)
I have found that the engine serial # is a MBxxxx not a MCxxxx with a tag saying Rebuilt in 1956. The Data tags on the dash were gone so there is no serial # there.
Data tag on the rear wheel well is there but is different than the one on the title.
The seat frames had been cut down and other seats installed. This M38 project has a good start and I would love to see someone finish it. I hate to have to part it out.
I will load as many pictures as possible if you need more please let me know and I will send them. I am selling this M38 as is where is. I will not ship it. So ask questions now.”

UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
It’s not perfect, and doesn’t start, but for the price this is worth a look. The rear bumper is a little odd.
“Selling my 46 willys jeep cj2a, never get to drive it any more so it needs to go. Was running just fine but now wont start, probabaly an electrical issue or coil. Jeep is a very early 1946 vin# 19xxx. Has a really good body, has an F head motor out of a cj3b with an new after market carburator.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

This jeep is dismantled. The pictures shows what it looked like before being taken apart.
“I have a 1947 Willys CJ2-A that will make an excellent restoration project. The jeep is currently dismantled but I have all parts on hand and the parts, nuts, bolts, etc have been labeled. I started this project but have decided to move on to other things. All the identification numbers match and I have a clear NV title.

(02/01/2013) Rob’s selling this 1947 CJ-2A. It runs and drives, but is not currently licensed. He is selling as a parts vehicle.
“Not-So-Fine Print:
Although Flat-Fenders’ are always a treat to look at and play with, this vehicle is 66 years old and is not advised for road use. It is not registered in CA so please bring a trailer for pickup. Its condition is commensurate with a life spent in the wilds of Montana and Nevada. Potential concerns include, but are not limited to: Dents, rust, leaks, worn transmission syncros, noisy throw-out bearing, and an inoperable fuel gauge. I recently purchased this Jeep as a parts vehicle, have completed my tasks, and it is being sold as such and as is.
Separately Available: Brand-New-In-Box Full Bestop 3A Soft Top with Doors, Rear (Back) Seat, CJ-2A Split Windshield, Tow Bar, and Two Mounted Jeep Jerry Gas Cans.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500

She’s a head turner and a go getter!”
I don’t think duct tape and bailing wire can save this jeep. I found the picture at the army airforce site. There are some other jeep photos as well.
This rare brochure just sold on eBay. Anyone ever run across a working rake? It was sold by the Midway Lumber Company out of St. Paul, MN.
Mike shot this cool, but sorrowful picture.
How about this neat old FC Toy?
“Vintage Jeep toy. I think this would be a great toy for someone looking to start collecting, or someone who likes to fix vintage toys up. I have a bunch listed.”

This may be a rare toy. I didn’t find any references to it on the CJ-3B Page or anywhere else. Wyandotte was a brand name used by the All Metal Products company out of Wyandotte, Michigan.
“This vintage tin toy jeep and trailer is made of heavy sheet steel and resembles a real WW II jeep. The windshield will fold down flat and the hood raises. It has a spare tire. There is a small hole on the right rear side that you could bolt the spare on. It is marked Willys on the front bumper and the windshield frame. Each tire is marked WYANDOTTE TOYS MADE IN U.S.A. This is a good sized toy. The jeep is 11″ long, 5″ wide, and 5 5/8″ high with the windshield up. The trailer is 10 1/2″ long, 4 1/2″ wide and 3 3/4″ high. The wheels all turn and are made of rubber. The tailgate on the trailer opens and closes.
It has some spotty surface rust but is still solid. The hitch is missing from under the jeep. I would have made one for it but have not found a picture of one. It should be about 1 1/2″ long with a hole in it and attaches with a single bolt.”

This restoration looks worth of more pics.

At first I thought someone hacked the entrance areas on the passenger and driver’s side. But, after looking more closely, it looks like it was done by design.
“1950 flat fender Willys Jeep all original plus lots of extras with it too. $1800 obo

This looks good. It includes a trailer.

This has a PTO of some kind.

“51′ Willies Jeep for sale- Has a Chevy 327, locking hubs on all 4 wheels, 33″ mud terrains, tow bar. Runs good, but needs works on breaks and plenty of TLC for the interior and exterior. Great project vehicle for father and son or just for fun.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
“1961 Jeep Willies, $1000 FIRM
Rough condition, needs restored or good for hunting truck
I bought 3 yrs ago as a project and it has sat.
Overheated and radiator has a leak now. Otherwise started easily and ran well.
Would not reccommend trying to start without a tune up. IE, purge old tarnished gas, new oil and filter changes. etc.
4×4 works perfectly. transmission, transfer case, differentials all work perfectly.
as far as I can tell all original equipment, eng, trans, transfer case and differentials.
These facts alone make it worth a grand in the condition it is currently in.
If you dont know this dont bother responding. No lowball offers.
$1000 is a fair and honest price and my bottom line.
I have not started it since it overheated. I am confident w some love, a thermostat and some attention itll run great.
Tires hold air and have low tread but are road worthy.
Of course it has rust. mostly surface. frame is solid. some rust to body mounts. should repair easily.”
UPDATE: Was $4300.
Given the windshield appears broken, the engine block is in the back, lack of bumper, etc, I’m thinking more like $1000 for this.
“1947 willies jeep , engine block in back,transmission still in place $4300 obo sold with bill of sale”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
I can’t tell if these are 15″ or 16″, but the price seems good.
