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 .
I couldn’t say if all the parts are there or not.

UPDATE: Learn more about the green jeep in the comments section.
Upon learning about the jeep at the Fantastic Cavern’s Visitor Center in Springfield, Missouri, Bill had to see it for himself. Fortunately for us, he took along his camera. Since Friday is the official start of the Christmas season, even though ‘Black Friday’ has now leaked into the evening of ‘Turkey, Christmas presents in the back of jeep just seemed a perfect way to launch the season (for us Willys nuts anyway).
Here’s photos of the original jeep. Bill was told it was a CJ-2A, but it seemed more 3A to him.
Here are some pics of the new propane fueled jeeps:
According to Glenn, “My buddy in Sylvania, Ohio says this car didn’t survive long as it was hit at a railroad crossing. This is the only one they did, announced in a few press outlets, and the project promptly (quietly) abandoned.”
This photo is printed on 16″x20″ paper.

“1948 Willys Jeepster Convertible. It has the L-134 engine (flathead) and has the flat front end. It also has side steps, deluxe steering wheel (full circle chrome ring) and the T badge up front. It was built in the combined plane around the middle of 1948, along side of the 48 wagons. The title shows 1949. That means it sold it 1949, but was manufactured in 1948. It was a gift from my grandfather and has been sitting in storage for almost 30 years. There are no missing parts and is in good shape on the outside and on the interior. It needs to be in the hands of someone who is interested in doing the mechanical work to get it running again.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This has the flip windshield.
“For sale

John took the time to scan Male Call comic strips that contain jeeps and post them at his google page. Surprisingly, most of the drawings appear to be Ford GPs. You can view the cover of the book here.
He writes, “My Dad had a copy of this printing of Milt Caniff’s Male Call and had it stashed in the back of a dresser drawer. Fair game for a 12-year-old when I ‘discovered’ it in ’64. Don’t know what happened to his copy. Saw a copy on Amazon and grabbed it. I scanned all the images that include all or part of a Jeep in the strip. Consider this a fresh look, enjoy!”
You can see all John scanned here
I’d like to see more of this one.

I thought I had posted this already, but don’t think i had. Anyway, starting price is only $20.
“Vintage 1968 REMCO Mighty Mike Cobra Skyway Balancing Kit Set with original box and instructions. Has all of the original parts except 1 metal weight. There are no cracks or breaks on any part. The set never came with a Mighty Mike but I will also include a Mighty Mike Jeep body in nice shape (no chassis). Original box has tape but it is all there, no inserts. Everything will be bubble wrapped to prevent damage in shipping and all voids filled to prevent any rattling. Can be wrapped in heavy shipping paper for 3 pounds shipping or in a box for 5 pounds shipping. Quoted shipping price is for 5 lbs, will be less for 3 lbs.”
This has already hit $110 . . .
“if your looking for a very nice Antique or Vintage 1960,s Tonka Jeep Wrecker diecast model toy this is it! this is a 1960’s Model Jeep Wrecker made by Tonka toys. it is about 10 inches long by 6 inches high,and about 5 iches wide something like a 1/16 scale. this vintage collectors Jeep is very rare it is almost like in new condition,only for a few small spots of paint missing and they are very small. and this also comes with its original Box and is also in good condition and its rare to find a Jeep in this condition with a original box this nice also. I have added many pictures to show how nice this Jeep is and there is no rust at all on it also as you can see from top to bottom of Jeep. I am selling this for a friend that needs money pretty bad or he would not be wiiling to sell this special Jeep, for he was giving this from his Grandmother in the early 1960’s and has kept it in storage and never really played with it, it also has the original string and hook from the Jeeps wrecker. he going to star it at a great starting price well below its worth.”

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was on eBay
Looks solid and straight.
“This is a near original 1946 Willys CJ2A, the engine was rebuilt about 500 miles ago, has a new carborator(not original), , new exhaust (not original), new tires, re-upolstered seats, runs great. This is a collectable Willys very good shape, lock in original front hubs, split transfer case hi/low/neutral. Everything works, will climb almost anything. Has been converted to a 12 volt system. Must see to appreciate. This Willys is located near Apache Junction, Arizona, buyer must arrange own shipping or pick up from my residence. Buyer must pay 20% of final price to hold until pick-up arrangements are made and then final payment in full before pick-up. I purchased this Jeep to use for rockhounding in the Arizona desert and decided that it could cause damage to this old classic, and it is a bit too rough riding for my wife and I to use. Hope to find someone to love and care for it the way it should be. Thanks for looking”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000

“Red 1947 Willy’s Pick-up small block Chevy V-8 with Automatic Transmission. Fast and fun to drive, all new brakes, new high volume oil pump, flywheel, starter, alternator, water pump and timing chain and gears. 4,200 or best offer.”
This looks in pretty good shape. The seller lists it as a ’51 M-38. It has the hinged grilled, so is likely a “52 or “53.

This has a fiberglass body. It has a strange roll bar.
“I am selling my 1945 jeep willy’s. It’s a project jeep but it does run and drive. It has a fiberglass body that need a couple patches but nothing major. It has been lifted and has a GM v6 engine. If you are looking for a jeep to restore to stock this isnt for you. But if you want a fun project to go off roading this would be perfect. I hate to sell it but I just don’t have the time to mess with it. I really would like to sell it before the snow flies. $2500 obo.”
No pics provided. Could be a M-38A1 instead.

“$6500 with winch, or $6000 without winch, would rather sell without winch. Up for sale is a 1947 Willys Civilian Jeep, with a later model F-head engine. Engine, transmission and transfer case were rebuilt about 1,200 miles ago, new cooper tires put on about 300 miles ago (some older pictures have the old tires) nice best-top brand top with doors, very good shape, runs great, shifts great, starts up every time with no problems, ask any questions you’d like, happy to answer. Has minimal surface rust, no holes or cancer, no major dents or cracks in body, fenders were strengthened at some point with some l-stock steel. Has a suspension lift to fit 31″ tires and bigger f-head engine, center seam under hood has been cut and a small portion of the firewall has been trimmed to accommodate, has holley carb. All gauges work, all electrical works. Has a newer heater. Has hand operated Beebe Bros 2 ton winch that works very well, haven’t seen many of them around, is currently off of the jeep. I love this jeep but I feel like it’s too nice for me to smash around rocks and trees in so I’d rather have something a lot rougher to mess with. Has full roll bar under top, locking ammo can storage compartment between seats, back seat will need some tlc, front seats in great shape with no tears or wear, windshield wipers run off of vaccuum, has tow hitch, comes with one brand new army green jerry can and holder which is mounted to tailgate. Includes one spare tire mounted on side. Electrical is a 6v system. Engine leaks a little oil, I assume some bolts need to be tightened after breaking in from the rebuild. Thanks for looking, e-mail with any questions and leave a number if you’d like to talk over the phone instead.”
