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 .
Paul discovered this plate on the driver’s side cowl of his M-38A1. Anyone know what it does?
Paul writes, “1952 m38a1-thought this was some sort of id plate at first. Looked inside glove box, has a backing plate and bondo fills the holes. any idea what was mounted? thank you.”
Unlike the advertising by Willys Overland, this ad by New York City based A.W. Pickett is sedate and forgettable.

Looks like a solid CJ-3B.
“fter much thought and prayer I’ve decided to put my Jeep up for sale.I’m the third owner and have known this Jeep since new.It belonged to my Uncle’s neighbor,he bought it new,he was old in the 70’s when I was kid.I lost track of it for a while, but it turned out didn’t go to far and i got to buy it. I’ve owned it fifteen years and had lots and lots of fun in it. Hunting trips,trips to Colorado 4 wheeling in the mountains in SE Ok. but I’m going to sell it and use the money for my buisness.This Jeep is mostly all original except for a new correct Carter YF carb,headlight switch,dimmer switch and a few things like that.Has a fairly new set of 700×15 mud and snows,probally not more than 3000 miles on them. Had just very,very little rust under the gas tank that was fixed when painted,been in Ok. all its life and kept inside a lot of the time. I put new brake shoes on it 4 or 5 years ago.I would not afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere,it has failed to start one time in fifteen years,I let the battery go dead.It has been dependable,dependable. Drive it as far as you can on a back road and shut it off,it will start when you get back. It roads out really well for an old Jeep it will run 55 down the highway pretty easy,I’ve took a lot of twenty five mile hi-way trips in it. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000!
(07/12/2012) Really Nice!
“Fully restored 1948 CJ2A Four Wheel Drive Willys Jeep.
Everything works and is in great condition, even has the original factory color!
This show Jeep is even an AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) 1st Place winner!!!
Originally the Jeep came from a country estate in Pennsylvania and it NEVER had any rust on the body!
My Father did a full body off restoration 4 years ago and it has been sitting in his clean, dry basement (he drained the gas) ever since.
As you can see from the picture the vehicle only has 27.5 miles since he finished restoring it… this has to be one of the nicest Jeeps in the entire country!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

“Kaiser Willys 1955 CJ5. First year of the civilian CJ5’s, 215 V8 Buick motor with 2bbl carb, new battery this spring, 3 Spd tranny, Overdrive, front tow hitch, 60’s era bucket seats. Except for the motor and overdrive I believe this jeep to be fairly stock. I have some 31-10.50-15 tires on it with fair tread. Standard 9 in brakes so expect what you get for brakes with the 9″ drums and 1955 brakes designs. Runs and drives. Some rust peeking through paint with a split on top just behind hood. Bimini top and full soft top with two sets of doors. Soft top is fair. Keeps the weather out but rear window could be replaced as it is cracked. Asking $1800 cash and will only sell local. Can be used as is or would be a base for a builder if desired. My original desire was to build it up but just ended up using it stock for the past 8 or 9 years. Please respond to ad and I will get back with you. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
“A great pair of seats, from a 1954 Willys Jeep CJ 3B. All original, frames are in excellent condition, seat material in very good conditon. These can be installed right now and would look good in your Jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $1600.
The price on this looks good. I had to do a double take on the “dashboard is in great condition”, because I spotted the wooden instrument panel. I think what Marty means is the dash is in very good shape, but this needs a new gauge panel to look correct.

I don’t exactly know why this turned up in my search today, but what the heck. I’ll post anyway. It is supposed to be Jewel Stainless, too. At least one conversion calculator puts the price of this at around $2400.

“1959 Jeep Willy, army green, 69,658 original miles. New gas lines, new tank….Many extra parts — engine, doors, tires, gas tank, extra set of tires Must see to appreciate.”
At first I thought this was a LEVI top, but on closer reading I discovered the color is Levi Tan.
“Paradise Jeep brings you another RARE find: This is a NOS (new old stock) soft top for a Jeep CJ-5 (1976-1983) made by Bestop (this model is called the “Royal Craftsman”, and was Bestop’s best offering at the time). It was branded as a luxury top, with many thoughtful quality touches not found on the basic entry level soft tops. The color is Levi Tan. It is MINT- except for the one small mouse hole in the roof of the soft top as seen. Easily fixed with a patch. If you need one, I will include a piece of matching genuine Levi material for you to use as a patch if you wish. This is in excellent/perfect condition with the exception of that one blemish. Shipping to be $30. Good luck and Happy Jeeping! Please see my other NOS Jeep items listed!”

UPDATE: The Craiglist Ad expired. The jeep is probably still available.
This has a VEC body, but appears to have or been converted to a floor shifter.

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $8000
This appears solid. Is that part of a plow attachment under the frame near the rear part of the driver’s side spring pivot?
