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: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks like a solid truck.

(10/02/2012) “This is a Willys Jeep with original transmission and engine. It has a canvas top, large interior heater and gun rack. All gages work. Some NOS parts were used. Kit body was used. Some things on this jeep are not original issue such as, converted electrical from 6 volt to 12, fan, distributor has been upgraded for electronic ignition and start button upgrade. These things were done to make the jeep more reliable. The engine has 209 miles on it. Everything has been done on this. This Willys is from the restorers personal collection and it is awesome.”
Needs batteries to start. The seller lists this as a M-38. It looks like a 1952 or early 53 M-38A1 with the hinged grille.
“Vehicle runs good, hasn’t been started since last spring, new top, all new brake system. Needs 2 new batteries sold as is. Has maryland title”

Matt, the owner of Edmund Angelus, forwarded me a couple sets of pictures this weekend. You might remember the builds he shared with us a few years ago. Since then Matt moved his automotive company to Roanoke, VA. He not only knows his way around jeeps, but he also does complete collision repair on cars as well, along with fiberglass & gelcoat repairs to boats & personal water craft.
His new address is 3239 orange Ave, Roanoke, Virginia.
His phone number is 540-354-4321.
One of his recent projects was a former Fire Jeep with the data plate BJ-102, indicating at one point it was a Boyer Fire Jeep. Unfortunately, the fire equipment was long gone. Matt writes, “The jeep was purchased by a friend of mine from a car dealer in West Virginia. Commissioned to an individual for a off frame restoration, the Jeep was dismantled way beyond what was really needed. Motor, transmission transfer case were in pieces. Every piece of sheet metal was soda blasted to bare metal. When I came a crossed it the rebuild was going nowhere and the body tub was on a trailer, outside with water standing in it. I contacted the owner and negotiated to take on the restoration. The rest is history as they say. Another proud customer.”
On Saturday Matt (from the above post) took out a couple jeeps and aired them out at the veterans parade in down town Roanoke, Virginia. He says if anyone is looking for a couple jeeps for movie props, just let him know.
Anyone know what’s inside of this manual/catalog?

UPDATE: **SOLD** for $12,900.
This looks like a good restoration completed by Willys Jeep Restorations in Ohio. You can see the restoration process here. It appears a trailer is included in the sale.
“This Jeep and trailer were professionally restored by Bruce Uher with Willys Jeep Restoration. For complete history on this vehicle go to displayjeeps.com and select misc pictures and M38 for El Paso Tx, VFW Post pictures. You will not find a better jeep than this one. I have added a brand new top, new heavy duty starter and back packs for the back of the seats. The jeep had a complete tune up and everything was checked within the last 6 months.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This looks in good shape.

It’s a project. Seller has labeled this a 1950.
“Hello I have for sale a great classic Willys jeep. It was produced in 1950. As you can see it is not in the best of shape. It is definately a project for someone. These willys jeeps are timeless classics. Unfortunately I know nothing about it. I got it from a friend of mine in a trade. I was going to fix it up but I just dont have the time. I am asking $1000 cash. Which I think it very much worth it for this classic jeep. If you are interested in coming to take a look at it. Please give me a call at 432-two0two-6719. Names mark..Jeep has a clean clear title as well.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Though there are a few things left to do on this jeep, it looks nicely refurbished.
“The new owner of this 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep will get to decide on the color and how much tint if any they want on the windshield glass. Those are about the only large items that need to be done yet. In addition, the new light harness needs to be installed and there are a few other minor items to be completed. All the big stuff is done. There is a new steel body sitting on an un-modified frame. It has new brakes, brake lines, NDT tires & tubes and exhaust system. It has a new battery and proper sized battery cables. The engine was professionally rebuilt as was the transmission/transfer case. Frame was cleaned and painted when the body was off. There is some very minor rust through on the rear cross member that is covered by the draw bar that comes with it. It runs well in both 2 & 4 WD. It is titled but not licensed so it has only been run on our property and a few back roads. I would guess the engine only has about 20 hours on it. Seats have new cushions and covers. Gauges and steering wheel are new. This CJ2A has been done correctly with no cut corners. It is being sold due to health issues that will not allow me to enjoy it when completed so the new owner may as well have their pick of color for it. There are many spare parts that will be included with the sale.”
UPDATE: Orange jeep was for sale here in 2012. **Sold in late 2012 (listed for $5500 with another jeep). Relisted in 2015 with a hood bumped added.
This appears to have a fiberglass body, but I can’t tell for sure. This was for sale back in April. Since then it looks like it was painted. The top has definitely been painted.
“Have 1948 willys jeep with snow plow and lots of extra and New parts Have a 1946 willys to go with asking price or will separate. Has new tires,rims, springs, battery, hood. To much to list”
http://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/3402375703.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
This looks like it has an overdrive, so it might be worth a look.
“1945 Ford Jeep. $800.00 Needs restoration, rough but most parts. No motor, last set up for small block chevy. No top, steel top in photo is for CJ2 or CJ5 $350.00 with doors. Clean title.”
