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 $5000.
(06/17/2012) This appears to still need work, though the seller doesn’t mention what needs to be done.

From the Vale Valley Website comes this story of one brother buying CJ-2A #No. 23995 for another. It’s written by Raymond Bleesz. You can see pictures of his jeep on the CJ-2A Page.
It is said that the Willys Jeep won the hearts and minds of all those who served in World War II, and that the jeep won the war.
My 1946 CJ2A jeep, No. 23995, was in the assembly line of production when the war ended.
This jeep with its “Go Devil” four- banger engine, a body from the Willys Ford Overland Co. in Toledo, Ohio, was one of thousands produced during the war years and later into preproduction civilian jeeps at the end of the war.
In 1990, this jeep was given to me as a birthday gift by my brother, who had purchased it from a good old boy in Frederick, Md., towed it across country and presented it to me upon his arrival here in Edwards. . . . . . .Read more below

Neat old ad.
Here’s a crazy looking jeep. The auction is located at 421 Market St. Byron, IL on Sunday Sept 30th.
“Custom 1957 Willys Jeep w/ ’63 Corvette 327 engine”
http://www.auctionzip.com/cgi-bin/auctionview.cgi?lid=1535844&kwd=willys&zip=&category=0
UPDATE: Was priced at $7500.**SOLD**
This looks nice. Shouldn’t this also have a Tuxedo Park plates on the hood?
“1963 Jeep CJ-5 Tuxedo Park Trim Package in rare Indian Ceramic Paint. This jeep is in very good shape for its age. Spent most of its life in California where is was in storage for 30+ years. Original engine was rebuilt in 2007 and original body was painted in 2008. Very low mileage(45k) vehicle with its rare Ramsey Winch & original Indian Ceramic Steering wheel, shifter and seats. Recently put in a new fuel tank, fuel pump and filter from Kaiser Willys. Please email with any questions. Price is $7500 obo. Thank you for looking.”
Anyone recognize this? The seller is unclear if this works with a jeep pto or not.
“Probably one of the rarest rear PTO attachments I have ever seen. This was believed to have come with a pile of F-12 parts. The small pto size shaft would lend itself towards Farmall, as would the distance from pto shaft to drawbar mount. Part numbers start with an unfamiliar C4CXXX. Numbers do include C4C299 C4C300 C4C303. It is also possible that one of the letters “C” could be a “G”.
Engage and disengage lever works fine.
So the question remains…Farmall, John Deere, Willys Jeep, Cletrac, Caterpillar, Avery or some other oddball.
We look forward to hearing from someone who knows what this truly fits.
We can be reached at 563-387-7705 should you have questions”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“Well I’m sure no expert on Jeeps, but I aquired this 1960 FC-150 from a 82 year old farmer. This is what I call a true “Barn find” It has been stashed away in an old barn for over 20 years. It has all the typical rust in all the typical spots.
This was a running and driving jeep when he last parked it into storage. He had planned to put his portable welder in the back, but never got that far. He lost the title so I can only give you a bill of sale.
With the exception of a sunroof, and a missing radio, I would say that this FC-150 is almost 100% complete and original.
This would make a nifty restoration project, or perhaps A good a parts vehicle. I have no doubts that someone more mechanical than myself could have it running again in fairly short order?
This jeep is old and ugly but it has just around 63,000 original miles on it. The engine/transmission,differentials, etc. are all original. I have turned the engine over by hand and it’s free.
This jeep is over 52 years old, and I I am selling it as is.
I would much rather you plan for the worst, and hope for the best than be dissapointed in any way. And remember… no title.”
There appears to be value here. Phone number in Ad.

This is a project.
“This is a very early and hard to find version of the WWII Jeep. The first few thousand were made using Willys MB frames with the GPW number stamped into the frame and this is one of those. The frame and data tag number is GPW 4370. The motor number is 9460. As you can see it needs repair to the tub but the tub is straight and I don’t see rust. It has a Ford transmission and transfer case, original Ford marked top bow brackets and bows. Original windshield with early brass latches. I will only run it on Ebay once on a 5 day sale and it will not go cheap but if you are looking for a rare one to do, this is it. Buyer must pickup, bill of sale and title included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $2900.
“I have a 1951 M38 Wyllis Jeep M38 that is driveable. I have a clear and clean Tennessee title in hand all numbers are matching with vehicle plates and title except for the motor which is a later 50’s model overhead cam 4 cylinder it has aftermarket lock out hubs installed; all of this was done prior to me owning. Transmission, rearend’s, body and frame are all original. The body is solid and straight. This vehicle is in exceptional condition for it’s age.”
No title nor VIN tag.
“True Barn Find I believe is from the 60’s Complete vehicle
There was metal repair near the Passengers wheel well, at the time the Vin tag must have been removed and never put back on. I do not have it, I do not have a Title and I do not have a prior registration and no way to get one. So Bid accordingly.
The Jeep is complete, its a 4 cylinder F-head, cleaned out the gas tank and Carb and put in fresh gas. Cranked it a few times and it fired right up. It runs smooth, no noises and no smoke issues.
It yard drives, 4 wheel high and low work. Brakes will need work, has a 4 way plow set up but no blade. Hydralic pump on the motor.
Custom made welders body with factory counter weight over rear end.”

(05/08/2012) This nicely stock jeep includes a rear PTO with a winch. It has an older top that looks in good shape. I’m pretty sure that isn’t factory shag carpet though ….

.(04/11/2012) Hacked a bit but still some value here. It even starts and runs.
“NO title just Bill of Sale.
Here is what I think is a 1943 Ford GPW Jeepney from the Philippines. I took this Jeep to a Military show in California and put a sign on her “What did Bubba do here” ? Lots and lots of guys looked her over and at the end of the day the consensus was that she is a Jeepney, a Filipino Jeep. Seems as the USA left the war they also left behind tons of equipment. They say the Filipino’s use whatever they have to make things work. Frame is GPW with machine gun mount still there. Body is GPW but has been altered as shown. The little 4 cylinder engine has been removed and a Chevrolet either 265 or 283 was installed. The engine does have oil filtration on block, so at least 1956. It has no side motor mounts, just fronts, so it could also be 1957. The casting number on the intake manifold (4 barrel) is for either a ’56 or ’57 165 or 283 V-8. Has 265 exhaust manifolds on it. Has Chevy car bellhousing with an adapter to a Jeep T90 transmission and transfer. Both driveshafts are there. Has cut out hubs on front. Original front and rear axles. The Jeep had been sitting for at least 20 years in California when I bought it. Took some time, but I finally got her running. Besides needing a tuneup after all these years she does sound pretty good through her dual exhaust. Needs 12 volt battery also. Has Chevy generator that does charge. I think she has 11 inch brakes on her? CJ wheels with mud grips. Steering box needs replacing as sometimes the steering wheel will spin round and round without turning front wheels. This would be a great and different project for someone. Storage is not a problem and will work with you or your hauler on getting her loaded. What you see in the pictures is what you get..”
