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: Was $7450: **Status Unknown**
“This “Jeep” is in excellent condition. Having only 2 owners within the last 55 years it is obvious that it has been well taken care of and maintained. The first owner used the PTO to cut firewood on the farm. The current owner is a Jeep collector and has keep the truck stored indoors. If you are looking for a classic vintage “working mans” truck, here it is!”
It runs with some smoke.
“Needs work. Engine runs but smokes. Running gears work good.”

This needs work.
“You are bidding on a 1942 Ford GPW Jeep, which my brother and I inherited from our uncle. It has been sitting in a barn for the past 5 to 7 years since the engine was started. The motor will turn over, but I didn’t attempt to try and start. I will try and list everything about the jeep, to the best of my knowledge, and include pictures.
My uncle converted to 12 volt, so will need to be changed back to 6 volt.
Will need to change vacuum operated windshield motor back to manual operated windshield wiper.
Has slight damage to right front fender. ( shown in pictures )
Floor boards under front seats and rear floor boards has rust out areas
Underneath above gas tank has rusted spots. ( shown in pictures )
Windshield glass looks good, but frame rusted at bottom and missing center upright bars that makes it look like two windshields. ( shown in pictures )
Drivers side rear panel behind wheel has rusted out spot and passenger side has some bondo which could have had been some rust at one time this is the only places I saw in exterior body. ( shown in pictures )
Body seems solid except these areas
Frame looks solid
Transmission and transfer case complete
Motor complete
Steering wheel good shape no cracks
Front and back seats original except for material what’s left
Canopy canvas not original , but I think the frame is original
Will need to remove angle from frame at left driver’s rear shackle (shown in pictures) and replace with a support arm that attaches to shackle to be as original.
Have clear title”

“Original 1949 Jeepster — NOT restored, but no dings, no rust. The interior is clean. The previous owner replaced the head gasket on the original 134 c. i. flathead engine and I replaced the six-volt battery, all belts, hoses, and radiator and did an oil change — all less than six months ago. The top frame and original side curtain frames are fine, but the top needs new fabric and both it and the side curtains need new plastic for the windows. The brake shoes all are at about 75%, but the I can’t open the master cylinder so I don’t know if the lines are bad or the master cylinder might be, but in either case the brakes DO NOT work. I have priced a master cylinder online at $69. The three-speed transmission with overdrive and clutch are strong, but the synchro appears to be bad. Sometimes it will go into gear just fine, other times it grinds. I spoke with a Jeepster guy in Florida who says he will do a complete transmission rebuild for $295 plus shipping. I have driven the Jeepster around my property (without the brakes) and the steering seems fine. It accelerates well, does not smoke (except when first started for about 30 seconds if it’s been sitting for several weeks) and doesn’t make any strange sounds. I was going to do a full restoration on it, but too many projects are ahead of it in line. The only damage I have seen is a hole about 2 inches in diameter on the side of the driver seat (shown in photos), a piece chipped off the right side rear seat step (shown in photos), and the hubcap on the spare tire has a crack in it . . . more on eBay”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This needs some work.
“All original 4 cylinder engine, runs good.””
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1600.
(06/13/2011) Mark from Jeeptruck forwarded this one.
“The pickup came originally with a four-cylinder, but a prior owner installed a 1964 Ford 262 cubic inch straight-six. This engine came only in Ford’s one-ton and larger truck series. The Willys has been stored since 1985. It has a clear title. After rebuilding the carb, cleaning the fuel-pump, replacing the plugs, adjusting the valve lash, and pulling the oil pan to clean it and the oil pump, the truck starts easily and runs very smooth. While the original engine used a mechanical clutch linkage, the six-cylinder uses a hydraulic clutch. Clutch and brake hydraulics are supplied by an old-style GM one-reservoir brake/clutch master cylinder (looks identical to a Raybestos part #MC34404). This master cylinder is dry and rust filled, so it will need to be replaced. So currently the Willys has no clutch or brake action (The parking brake works great!). The Willys has its original T-90 (3-speed, floor-shift) transmission, Dana-18 transfer case, Dana-25 front differential, and Timken (clam-shell) rear differential. The body is solid except for the outer floorboards (which need to be replaced), and some corrosion at the rear sides of the bed (refer to the photos). The electrical system seems to be 12 volt, although the wiring is mostly original. The coil has a resistor before it (like 12 volt) and the ammeter shows charging in the normal range (uses a generator).
As the Willys has NO clutch or brake hydraulics, IT MUST BE TOWED OR SHIPPED. It is sold AS-IS; NO WARRANTY.
The Willys is in the Salt Lake City, Utah area. Contact by email at: randall1921@hotmail.com”

(07/26/2012) I’m gonna guess that this is a M-38 body and front clip on a CJ-2A frame and possibly drive train. The gas inlet looks more civilian than military though. The tailgate is civilian, too.

“1952 CJ3A Willys Jeep
This Jeep is about as original and complete as you will find. I bought it from the family that bought it new. It was mainly used for farm use and has been sitting for 35 years. as a result it only has 36,000 miles on it. It has the flat head four cylinder “Go Devil” motor that is still a 6 volt electric system. two speed transfer case and three speed manual transmission. This Jeep was also equipped with the factory optional rear PTO system. The Jeep has never been restored or modified. It has a lot of parts with it you almost never find. seat frames, frame for the soft top, door frames, mirrors, under seat tool box with the willys stamped lid. I have the optional under door side steps, and the snap on grill screen, to keep weeds out of the radiator while mowing. The crown jewel piece I have is the adator that allows you to run belt driven items, like a grits or saw mill with the PTO. I even have the original owners manual for it. I have not tried to start the motor, It ran and drove before it was set up. but the last time it was started was 35 years ago. The only thing I have done is knocked off some of the surface rust and put them areas in primer just to persevere it, and that is all I have been doing too it. I have a new baby on the way so I not going to have the time to continue working on it in the near future, and for a while. and would rather not see it sit. I was planing on fully bringing this Jeep back and keeping it as a result I have bought up quite a few spare parts. I have an flathead engine a frame with front and rear axles, extra generator, carburetor, starter, manifolds, steering column, hood, front grill, hubs, four extra stock rims and other misc things. Over a grand in spare parts alone. Price for everything is $4000″
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

This looks good. I wonder if there is some paperwork to indicate this was a military vehicle.

This has some unusual features, including an imposing front bumper. The hood bump doesn’t make sense given the height of the current motor. The use of diamond plating in the rear is unusual, too.

These have become quite rare. Nearly all parts are “F marked” from the factory all the way down to many bolts! This Jeep is nearly complete from top to bottom and is mainly all original. All that you see on the Jeep goes with the Jeep including all the gear, The .30 Cal,
The Radio Never Hooked Up So I Have No Idea If It Works.
The body is in very good original condition. The front floor has been repaired along with all the hat channels. The transmission Is the original
rebuilt T84. For a 69 year old vehicle, this Jeep looks great and is ready for you to hop in a go.
Its ready for that around town drive or that WWII Reenactment or that parade. The engine runs perfectly with great oil pressure and no smoke. Four Wheel drive works perfectly. The brakes have been reworked, and all the electrical replaced including the gauges minus the speedometer gauge. The tires are NOS 700-16 6 ply military NDCC tires. The Jeep has a clear title! This Jeep Was a “Barn Find” and was restored using all the original parts found with it! Sold as is.
