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 .
I thought these were a neat photos of the Jeepster assembly line with a CJ-2A in the background.
Here’s a nice photo of two women sitting on a military jeep. I wonder what it says on the hood.
Dexter spotted this second picture:
I’ve never seen this ad before now.” This is the actual ad and not a copy of one. It was published in 1947.
Also, there are a bunch of other ads currently on ebay
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Glenn forwarded this. I think a piece of the glass is good .. lol.
“Absolute sale NO RESERVE! No extra fees. I have most of a 1963 Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan. Although missing the back it is a rare vehicle perfect for a parts vehicle. It is a parts vehicle. There is no title or registration to this. The vin plate is still attached to the Van with a dry cheap white paint coating it. I used my finger nail to expose the numbers. The steering, suspension and brakes for the front appear to be all there. The motor and transmission are there but I am not sure of their condition. The back of this Fleetvan is missing. The Postal Code is P.O.D-6-2-8208 and the manufacture Vin Code is 14955. The Jeep FJ-3 Fleetvan was a compact delivery van manufactured by Willys Motors and Kaiser-Jeep from 1961 to 1965. This FJ-3 is equipped with the F-134 Hurricane engine that is a 4 cylinder F-Head. Borg-Warner Automatic it looks like. The FJ-3 is only 135 inches long and is rated for 1000 pound payload. If you know of somebody that has one of these, PLEASE let them know so they can have a chance to get a parts Van. I’m sure they will appreciate that. Sold As is with no waranty or returns of course. I have jacks and stands to help load this up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“Amazing condition:
1954 Jeep M38A, manufactured by Willys Overland. Body perfect. Needs very little to get running: fuel sending unit, fuel pump and tank.
1946 Jeep Willys CJ 2A. Body in excellent shape. Minor engine work to get this running. (First year that Jeeps were offered to civilians!)
Both of these Jeeps were up and running, but, my father passed away a few years back, and he had these at a shop in Iowa where they were doing some work on them. I have spent the last few years trying to get them back from the shop’s owner, so, nothing has been done with them since 2009.
Looking for trades on one or both. These are in amazingly good shape, and will take very little to get back to running. Interested in: jet skies/4×4 truck/Jeep Wrangler/trailer or camper/lot on lake/or open to other reasonable offers! Let me know if you have something that you think might spark my interest…but, be realistic! I will not ship, however, I know these are classic Jeeps, and someone from another part of country may be very interested…if legit, I will work with you if you hire delivery service to pick up.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
The more rusted one looks like it has a VEC body.
“Two 1948 Willy’s Jeep’s

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Looks like a MB/GPW body. Also, has full floaters in the rear.

Buz discovered this website in Argentina. There are a variety of different jeeps for sale, some familiar and some less so. Visit the website and check it out. Here is a Willys MB for $15,000: http://www.arcar.org/willys-mb-14-ton-46729
You can learn more about these IKA (Industrias Kaiser Argentina) built jeeps at the CJ-3B Page.
Here are some other vehicles I spotted in just a minute of searching:
This appears to be a MB/GPW of some vintage –
This is a CJ-2A with an unusual top –
Here are a couple of 2WD IKA Jeeps modeled on the CJ-5, but with a longer wheelbase
James spotted this article. According to it, a British company has built a special operations jeep they call Pegasus, using a Wrangler as the foundation. The company built the frame to fit inside a CH-47 Chinook. It is 201 inches long, 79 inches wide, 72 inches tall with an 11 inch ground clearance. It has a curb weight of 6,610 pounds and a potential payload of 3,310 pounds
According the the article, “It is named after the Pegasus Bridge crossing the Caen Canal the British 6th Airborne Division wrenched from the Germans in the invasion of Normandy in World War II …. ”
I thought this was an interesting ad. The two ‘selling’ points in this 1948 ad for the Willys Trucks are that they save on gas and oil & that they have a tight turning radius.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $4000.
This is worth a look.
“1952 Willys M38A1 Military Jeep. All original Except color, bikini top and front bumper. 24 volt generator has been replaced with 24 volt alternator. Blackouts have been removed and replaced with turn signals. Runs good. Engine and powertrain are in good working condition including 4wd and have never been rebuilt. Could be a great restoration vehicle for military or jeep enthusiast. $4000 or could consider reasonable offer. I have the original military service manual and some extra parts. contact through craigslist for any questions.”
I’m not sure if the seller is selling the jeep only or bundling this with the truck and scout.
“1953 Willys is just the chasis, motor and seat frames. This one ran to where I parked it and then I had my body guy take the body off to put a tub on it. Its time to get rid of some of my projects!!! Call Michelle 231 206 7332”

This has had work done on the side. This has the wrong tailgate, too.

(11/01/2010) This appears in great condition. I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.
“Jeep CJ2, Calif Yellow & Black Plates, Clear Title. Has original “Go Devil” Flathead 4 motor. A very clean Jeep with no dents or rust. Good Glass, Seat and Tires. Runs smoothly. I have only used this for parades and car shows (show & tell) It has not been beaten up off roading. ”
The passenger side looks pretty rusted out.

Unclear if this runs or not.

This has an engine knock.

UPDATE: This sold quickly.
The front frame rails have been heavily reinforced. You gotta love that ‘hardtop’. Despite this, I think there’s some value
“Excellent running 4cyl converted to 12 volt 5ft plow, 4sp frame good would make nice plow truck also has 3 point hookup on rear, 16 inch tire with chains.”
Hard to say just how original this is from the one pic. However, the seats appear aftermarket and the grille may have been updated.

(05/04/2011) “1946 WILLYS Jeep CJ2-A. Built for the dirt, but street legal.
COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up. Only 9,567 miles since rebuilt:

The bad: has been stored for about the last 6 years; needs new battery; carburetor needs rebuilding kit due to gummed up gasoline; it has a CASSETTE radio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
This needs work. This sounds like a nice project with some value. Curiously, there are no holes for the gauges. So, I’m not sure whether this is an aftermarket body or the holes were cleanly patched. This has already been converted to hanging pedals, too. I think that motor might have been rebuilt, judging by the cleanliness of it.
“I have a unfinish jeep up for sale. It has a V6 with 4 speed trany,tranfer case,and axle dana 44 with disk in front, amc 20 posi. I have the pink slip and it nonop.”
