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 .
Roberto has created some CJ-3A T-shirts. I’m going to purchase one. If you are interested in getting one, then lets work out a way of splitting the shipping. Just add a comment if you are interested in getting one.

UPDATE: Here’s an updated picture of the final deck in case anyone was interested. You can view more about the project here: http://www.deilers.com/deck/
However, I do have a couple quick updates on what we’ve been doing. Much of our time has been consumed by a deck rebuild for my parents (it turns out Ann is great with power tools!). Below are a couple shots. The first photo shows how bad it looked after we pulled up the decking. The second shows the deck partially done. There was quite a bit of rot in those joists.
There are several of these pinball games on eBay. These have several different vehicles, include a jeep in the lower left side.
“Vintage “Marx” Bazooka Pinball Game “Bagatelle” From Very late 40’s to early 1950’s
The backboard of the game is tin with World War 2 military graphics of jeeps, tanks and Anti-aircraft guns.
Made in United States of America Marx Toys logo.
It measures about 12 1/2″ long, 6 3/8″ wide and ¾” deep.
It is in excellent condition. Has some wear to the plastic. There are no cracks, but some age crazing lower left, has both it’s legs.
Upper left hand top has some glue left from tape. Other wise in great condition!”

I searched for single issues of the Nov 1992 magazine on eBay, but didn’t have any luck.

This might be an interesting book.
“Jeep Accessories Special Parts and Major Assemblies for All Models” This is a reprint of the book that originally was used in a Jeep dealer’s parts department so that customers could order accessories. You will find illustrations and the original part numbers, which are still useful today because most parts vendors still use Jeep’s numbers to keep track of their parts. Use this book to make your search for parts both quicker and easier. The black and white illustrations in the book will help you to identify parts. Covers heaters, defrosters, radios, windshield washer, windshield wiper kit, locking fuel cap, power brakes, spotlight, slack adjuster, mirrors, gasoline filter, mud flaps, canvas tops, CJ-5 hard enclosure, pintle hook, bumper weight, step, bumper guard, governors, draw bar, propeller shaft guard, skid plate, and a few more. The book also includes engines and axles available for purchase from Jeep. You can use this catalog to find out which features on your car are accessories, if those accessories are original, and which accessories you can add. Find out which accessories interchange with other years and models covered in this book. All Jeeps from 1957-1962 are covered, including CJ-3B, CJ-5, CJ-6, DJ-3A, pickup, station wagon, FC 150, and FC 170. The manual measures 8 ½ x 11″, has 22 pages, and is in new condition. Buy now to find out how to make your Jeep into a “loaded” model.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Fuel pump needs replacing, but looks solid.
“1960 Willys CJ3B for sale. This Willys has the Super Hurricane six cylinder rather than the normal four cylinder. I bought it about 1 1/2 years ago as a project but work committments and other hobbies have taken the time. It’s a great straight vehicle really. The fuel pump is out and needs to be replaced. Body is straight and in very good shape as is the frame.
Shouldn’t take much to get this to a good driver condition and would make an excellent restoration candidate.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
This looks nice.
“Want to trade a 49 Willys 4×4 pickup, runs and drives great, trade for 70’s-82 corvette”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Perfect for the next Road Warrior movie.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
This appears solid, though the area around the steps might have some rust (hence the primer).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This might be worth a look if the body really is good. The passenger rear quarterpanel certainly has some dents.
“This is a 1949 CJ2A Jeep. It is a 4 cylinder 3 speed. It runs good, and has a good body. Please call me with any questions you have, or to set up a time to come look at it”
This sounds like is has power and a good drive train ratio for the roads.
“This Jeep is in excellent condition ! The body is an original Arizona body. 350 Chevy motor with Corvette valve covers. Aluminum intake, small cam. 600 Holley carb and headers. 4 speed trans, Warn transfer case with over drive. 4:10 gear ratio front and rear. Aluminum wheels with 33 inch Super Swampers.

Here’s a wagon that appears to have the unusual Willys Overland bumper sculpture. I can’t quite make it out clearly to know for sure.
“Family jeep, has been outfitted with winch system and boom for hunting, minor rust, need minor repairs but runs. Also comes with tire chains for snow.”
http://littlerock.craigslist.org/cto/3290965265.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks good for the price.
“1952 Willys Jeep, M38A-1 military from Korean war era. Needs restoration. New soft top. 3 speed, Hi-low, 2-4WDR.
Moving and need to sell. $2500 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This appears solid, but could use a paint job.
“1953 CJ3B Jeep in great condition. $4000. Serious inquires only.”
Needs a little tinkering and the body has been patched/repaired, but it runs and drives.
“Up for sale is my pride and joy very much hate to sell it but times change. the willys has new brakes and lines exhaust, tires and soft top and have two hard tops to go with it new interstate 6 volt battery and starter,
it drives and stops needs tinkering for the road the carburetor needs cleaning it runs on full choke , i think the body was a older restoration from the 80s and the frame is excellent condition
I’m sure i forgot something so ask away my cell 933-3095”
http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/3289936751.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Well, it’s advertised as a ’48, but clearly isn’t. It could be a ’58 though. Also, it has a CJ-2A windshield.
“I have for sale a 1948 Willys Jeep. This Jeep was rebuilt in 2006 as a two wheel drive, it has a very strong 350 small block V8 mated to a turbo 350 automatic transmission. Both the engine and transmission work great. The interior is fully coated in spray on bed liner and the exterior is finished in the smoothest red paint that i have seen. This Willys is the high hood variant making it somewhat rare. The only flaw is that the fuel gauge does not work, i haven’t attempted to fix it as it has a small tank and i just look inside for the fuel level. This Jeep is a real hot rod, very nice and very fast, it is perfect for a weekend cruise, parades and gets a lot of attention at local car shows. I am asking $6500 for it as i believe the body alone is worth that, however I will consider reasonable offers”
There might be some value here.
“Project, sitting on blazer 4X4 frame, no rust. This willbe a nice tin woody. Call for more details 401-359-3033 ”

(09/02/2012) They broke the mold after creating this one. It includes a capstan winch.
“Willy’s jeep 1942. Has original 4 cyl. engine that purrs and doesn’t smoke. I’ve yet to see anther like this one, it is two seat with a pickup box behind. On the front bumper is an engine driven capstan winch, go online to “willy’s capstan winch kit” and you will see that this item alone sells for $3250.00 plus shipping. Also comes with an aluminum bolt on roof with two aluminum doors and an A-frame rig that bolts to the front bumper for pulling stumps and whatever. If you want to have a jeep that nobody else has, respond to this ad. I’ve had many people look at this jeep and they all agree that it appears to be made this way by the factory. You won’t find another like this one. No scams accepted, cash only.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
The seller lists this as a M-38A1, but it looks like a CJ-5 to me. Given the bumper, I wonder if this wasn’t a service station jeep at some point. Here’s another example of the same bumper.
“i got a 1950 something willys jeep runs drives no brakes thats why every corner has a dent in it lol needs gas tank running it out of a gallon can now has plow frame im trying to get a plow for it if i find one it goes with it will need a tune up and exhaust work great little plow truck the motor is a Fhead 3 speed trans it is what it is so if your looking for a cheap plow jeep thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/12/2012) This looks like a good restoration candidate. It also has the early fold down grille like the M-38s.

“”It’s that time of year again! Announcing the 2012 Northern Ohio Flatfender Gathering and Cruise-in, Sunday, sept 23, 2012 from 11-4 at my home in Green, Ohio near the Akron/Canton Airport. Last year we had 35 jeeps…we hope to have 50 or more this year. Again, lunch and restroom facilities are provided. Please also feel free to bring parts to sell or trade.”
UPDATE: Jasper emailed me today. He is organizing the event. If you have any questions or need the flyer translated, you can contact Jasper at: jv at jaspervogt.de. Apparently he’s a big Willys fan, too 🙂

I ran across this unusual travel opportunity tonight. A german company is organizing a rally around the country of Cambodia in February of 2013. I have emailed them for more information. Based on the pictures, the ‘old jeeps’ may be m151s rather than Willys.

This wagon has Dan stumped. He writes, “I am stumped what this 1955 wagon is. It has the grill, gauges, etc. of a 1950s wagon, but the panel doors of a Parkway Conversion BUT the sliding windows of a regular wagon. It also is 2×4. If it were a 1960s wagon, I’d chalk it up to WIllys end-of-the-run production variances. Maybe it’s just a special order.”
“1955 Willys Station Wagon. This wagon has a very solid body, body and paint completed 12 months ago. It has a mustang front end which means disc breaks and easy steering.
The engine is a Mopar wide block Polly head 318 with 10.5 to 1 compression ratio,
It runs strong, it was probably out of a 1970 truck. 2 barrel carb for good gas mileage. Not sure what the rear gears are but it cruises fine on the Highway.
Automatic transmission, 747, which was rebuilt two thousand miles ago.
It has very rare ambulance back doors so it is easy to load.
For the last nine years I have enjoyed driving her as a daily driver.
I am asking $14,000”
