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: Steve sent some more pictures. This is interesting.
Steve had this half cab for sale. It appears to be a CJ-5/CJ-6 model.
Steve writes, “I have this old half top looks like protype of some short. It is not really homemade. It has cut outs for the early rollout windows and a sticker of some kind just under the back window…..would like to sell it … its located in Lander, WY, for $1000. my phone number 307-850-2890.”
The starting bid on this is $18,000. It is about 90% done according to the seller. The parts looks in good condition, but note the 2nd picture, which suggests the wires are running over the frame and, possibly, under the hat channel. I’m thinking this is a problem.
“1948 willys jeep cj2a restored & rebuilt by father and son we have owned this for apox, 25 years and have been working on the restoration when spare time came up , its 90% finished still need minor work such as seat cushions and soft top as well as a few slight items to completed – e brake hook up – dash light and stock air filter and orig windshields i have some parts that will be included , it runs well and drives fine brakes also are all new theres way to much new parts to list the body is rust free as well as frame there is no bondo under paint , a very nice example of jeep history, has movie prop 30 cal browning mounted in back witch has blaze orange tip and can not be made to fire projectiles this jeep has countless hours of work invested in it, would make a great movie prop – show car or parade truck , see photos or ask for any info needed”

This looks nice, it’s cleaned and painted with some care. But . . . here’s my thing . . .I guess when someone describes a jeep as “museum quality” and “pristine condition” I have certain expectations (despite some of the poor museum jeeps we’ve documented herein). So, if his were my museum piece, the lettering would be different on the hood (not marked 52-m38A1), the engine parts would not be all painted like they are here, and the steering column wouldn’t be off color (unless that’s a color option I didn’t know about). It also appears this should have the hinged grille, but the hinges are missing.
” This Jeep is in pristine condition and has been restored to museum quality inside and out by the Armed Forces History Museum. It includes a non-functional removable 30 caliber machine gun.”

If overdrives were worth $1500, I would have bought a bunch at $750.
“I have a 1949 Willys Pick-Up. Flat-Nose already street rod ready. Clean title in hand. No rust. Originally from the South West United States. Everything is there! Even the sidesteps that are so elusive to find. This has a small-block Ford V-8 bolted-up to the T-90 transmission with the over-drive done. The over-drive alone is worth $1,500.00! The bed is nice, with a Willys Overland Scripted Tailgate. This sheet metal is as good as it gets.

I like this one. It has some early Civil Air Patrol stickers on it.
“1962 Jeep Willy Stretch M170 Ambulance. Government called for 6000 M170’s to be made. Production between 1953 and 1963. The government stopped production at 4155 M170’s, so I have been told by some sources that I have spoken with. The motor is a 4 cylinder F Hurricane Flathead 134. It has a 24 volt system, transmission is a T90. A model 18 transfer case and is equipped for a fording system. The jeep is all original and runs very good. There are no mechanical defects known. It is in good condition, even the tires are original. It was used in the Air Corps and still has original stickers and original Government plates (located under updated DMV plates.) Vehicle has a clear DMV title. No registration issues. The jeep has 32,288 miles on the engine as of date of listing. I drive it periodically to keep engine from sitting. It has a new rebuilt radiator, new water pump, new thermostat and housing and hoses. It also has a new master cylinder and fording spark plugs.”

Original Post: Terry’s brother works at the United Maintenance Base for United Airlines in San Francisco. His brother said this was a CJ-2A that still roams the airport. Terry himself owns a former CJ-3B Belt Loader that still has the United Airlines Hobbs Meter on the Dash.
There just can’t be many of these around.

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)
