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 $6500
Needs motor installed.
“For sale is a 1954 Willys Jeep model CJ-3B. Newly rebuilt F-head 134 motor, has not even been installed. The body is straight and has VERY little surface rust. Great restoration project.
Email or text me if interested, but please include specifics. I will not respond to a general email or text”
Mike let me know that the 2012 Great American Jeep Rally takes place in Connecticut September 15th, 2012.
“We are pleased and excited to announce that the 2012 Great American Jeep Rally will take place on Saturday, September 15th at Valley Truck and Off Road. The address for all your TomToms, Garmins, and good old map and compass is 43 Lower Butcher Rd., Ellington CT.”
Frank found himself a rare M-38CDN and offered to share some photos.
He writes, “Just wanted to let you know that after looking for one of these since 1979/80, I finally aquired an m-38. a candian one at that! I’m quite excited about that, because only 2135 were ever built between feb and nov ’52. I found it on kijiji.ca in Fort st. john,BC. that’s 700km (460 mi.) from my place in Edmonton. I Drove out with my trailer to look at it fully prepared to return empty if the jeep was a rust bucket. It would have been a 1000 mi trip for nothing. Needless to say, it was not a wasted trip. I’s nearly all there, but the data plates and gauges got sand blasted by a previous owner; not the guy i bought it from. It’s 24 volt still and has almost all the stuff needed for fording. I’m sending a few shots of the trip and the jeep at home. I’ll keep you up to date on the resto. I’m looking to make it as stock as possible but also use it as a driver.”

This looks like a solid M-38. The title is TN, but I believe Winchester is in KY.
“Nice running M38 jeep, 1952 model with Tennessee title, new tires, new batteries and recently rebuilt engine. No trades”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999
(04/02/2012) Some mods on this. It looks solid.

UPDATE: Was priced at $600. This has a PTO. **SOLD**
(04/29/2012) The body has been patched, but this still may be restorable.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, the first year for the CJ Jeep. Mostly original body with lots of rust and patches. L134 engine, does crank over, but needs head gasket (antifreeze in oil). Brakes and clutch not working. My grandfather owned this Jeep since the mid-70’s. I got it running about 12 years ago, but run the clutch out and parked it in the shed. I have reupholstered seat cushions and backs with original springs (done back in the 70’s but never installed). the aluminum top was winter top and I have the doors for it but no end gate. Windshield frame is gone. Transmission seems to be fine. Tires hold air but not roadworthy.
It has had a hard life. Restore or part it. I can provide more pictures upon request.”
This might be worth a look. The seller is in the middle of wiring brake lights.
“i have a 1953 willys CJ3B i am asking 3200 for it , the price is a little negotiable its in good shape for its age and everything is still all origianl except the wheels and tires i have on it. i have put new seats started wireing for tale lights but ran out of time to rebuild it the way it needs to be so im trying to sell it.

This has a funky windshield.
“***if you send email asking “do you still have it” or something similar I will assume its spam/scam and will not reply. When you email me be specific about the item.***
Selling my 1948 Willys Jeep. No time to work on it. Sold as is. You must arrange to transport it . Asking $1800 but will entertain all offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Per Bill’s observation, this appears to be a M-38 with DJ-5 grille and CJ-2A windshield. Pictures are 7 years old.
“Rare 1947 Willys Jeep, runs good, needs brake fluid, good project jeep, title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
(04/05/2010) It sounds like there are some good parts. This might have the offset 30 spline Dana rear.
“GREAT PROJECT CAR. Price negotiable. I have some new parts ready to go on including a complete, new “Painless Wiring Kit”, keyed Jeep tilt steering, 4 YJ springs and 2 Trailmaster coil over shocks. Motor not stock, in good shape, runs. Has tow bar. Has Dana 44 one piece axles. This a project vehicle.”

UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
This has been painted within the last year, as it was listed last summer painted red. It also has the M-38 body rather than a CJ-2A.
“Up for sale is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A with a big block 351 ford engine. This is a running and driving vehical. The Ignition is all MSD from the distributor to the ignition box to the plug wires. This Jeep has Dana axles and is geared to go through anything. This is mainly an offroad unit but can be drove on the streets.”
Dan spotted this one. With a rebuilt motor and tranny, this might be a good utility driver.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Last listed at $4200.
(08/28/2012) The seller doesn’t seem to know whether this was a real Fire Truck or not, but probably wouldn’t be hard to verify.
“I think it belonged to the fire dept. from 1975 untill 2006 then it was sold to a privet owner 2006 untill 2012 This jeep runs good but the motor has a pecking noise the jeep comes with a spare replacement motor this jeep is very solid one small rust spot on drivers side front fender.”

(08/25/2012) Looks like a goo price as it runs and drives.

UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
(08/09/2012) This might be a solid jeep, though it isn’t ‘all original’.
“im selling an original willys high hood cj-3b. all original with the original cyl engine and extras added. has a heater and a full top and doors from bestop and an added kill switch for extra safty have a bunch more pics if interested email me if interested serious offers only no scams or bs local pick up”

“Great project, nearly all here. 6 cyl 4×4”
http://corvallis.craigslist.org/cto/3238600599.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
This has full floating hubs in the rear, so this could be part military or part early VEC CJ-2A. However, there are a few other details that suggest this just might be a collection of various parts.
“Drives and Runs well and in good condition. Recent upgrades to brake system and rear and front internal gears etc. call for appointment if serious about collecting this gem. Needs minor electrical and a paint upgrade. Have clear title”
Paul Buford painted this cool rendition of a wagon. We’ve all seen a wagon or two or more in this condition. The original of this has already sold.

This device was built to detect mines and, once detected, would auto-shift the jeep into neutral and put on the brakes. This article was published in the January 1946 edition of Popular Mechanics.
