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**
I’m sure the CJ-3B doesn’t run, unclear on the other two.

I had hope to get out there for this years festival, but my kids visit has shifted to August. We’ll try for next year!
UPDATE: I must sheepishly admit that I should have known which US President drove a Scrambler. President Reason drove a M-38A1, a CJ-6 and, according to ewillys, a Scrambler, too.
Mark from jeeptruck.com forwarded this jeep quiz at Jay Leno’s website. I came in 22nd place with my score, probably because I missed one. I didn’t know which US President drove a Scrambler. I also didn’t realize I was being timed on my speed, so read fast or repeat the quiz if you want to do better.
Also, there were no extra points for naming the vehicle on the pic below. I suspect it was used to avoid paying Jeep/Chrysler any royalties. I guess who needs a Jeep when you have a GAZ.
Give it a try!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Though it is a CJ-2A, it has rear floating hubs. Maybe it’s a VEC?

(07/09/2012) This CJ-3B has an interesting history. The seller lists this as a 1953 CJ-3B, but the serial number suggests 1955. It looks pretty stock and in good shape, too. I also has a rare pto lever in the cab that exits through the passenger side floor. It controls a rare crankshaft powered PTO.
“This is a super rare US Government BLM issue 1953 Willys CJ3B. It is one of the most rust-free, high optioned, low mileage and untouched Jeeps you’ll ever find, one of few left in this condition with all the original paint! Only 33,900 miles, a true survivor!
Originally a US Government BLM vehicle. All the original BLM badges and stickers still remain. Government vehicles are given meticulous maintenance and this Jeep has had such a high maintenance standard. It was decommissioned in 1974 and has been in storage since then for almost 40 years. It was stored indoors in a dry building out of the weather, hence the astonishing preservation. The last time it was registered was in 1973 and still has the inspection sticker on the windshield. It was properly stored with all the fluids drained, the gas tank isn’t rusted and radiator is healthy. This Jeep has low mileage due to storage. The original hood isolation material that is mounted on the grille is still in decent shape.
This Jeep is virgin in every way. The paint is in amazing condition for 1953 and still has a nice glossy shine to it. It’s just about next to impossible to find a Willys this old with shinny original paint. All the original insignia stenciling (“4 wheel drive” and “Willys”) on the hood and tailgate are still intact.
You just can’t do this Jeep justice when it comes to originality and condition. It has been left alone in every way and hasn’t been cut up or had holes drilled in it everywhere. It still retains the original single tail light/ reflectors and the original spare tire oak block. The fuel pump, spark plug wires, radiator and gas tank are even original! The carburetor has never been rebuilt and runs perfectly.
Mechanically this Jeep is sound, again it only has 33,900 miles on it and it runs like a top. The engine has a lot power and oil pressure even after the engine has warmed up (see pic of gauges). The transmission shifts perfectly with no grinding and the 4 wheel drive works great. It also comes with correct brand new 7.00-15 tire that really captures that vintage look.
I have owned several Willys throughout the years and have never seen one this solid! For those who aren’t as familiar with Willys CJs, about 95% (if not more) have structural issues up the wazoo and this CJ doesn’t. The floor supports/hat channels usually have large rust holes or are rusted out so badly that they are missing in spots and can become severely cracked and broken up. This Jeep is beautiful with no cracking or rusted out floor supports and still has the majority of the original paint underneath the floors. It is 99% rust free. All of the floors are 100% rust free, the only rust on the jeep is on the passenger rear, about a 1″x2″ spot by the tailgate and from what I’ve seen this is very common and very minor considering. This Jeep has never been in an accident or had any body work performed, as mentioned before this it’s virgin with no bondo PERIOD!
This Jeep has all original gauges, switches, hardware etc. and all gauges and equipment work, quite the hard find! The jeep has all the original wiring harness with the factory woven cloth sheathing still intact in great condition, you’ll probably never find another Willys with this much originality. This is a high optioned Willys and was fitted from the factory with Koenig hardware, a Koenig winch and matching Koeng hard top. Other options include lock out hubs, bug guard (not mounted) and Harrison heater. This is a special Koenig winch and works wonderfully; it is unlike most, it runs off the crank shaft in front instead of off a PTO mounted on the transfercase. It has unique controls mounted on the passenger side floor. When I say this jeep is all original-untouched I mean it, it has not been taken apart or dismantled.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
Looks good from the little I see.

A MJ2A? May be partially disassembled.
“I’m selling a 1948 Willys CJ2A. I picked this up a couple years ago as a project, but it doesn’t look like I’m ever going to get around to working on it. It is painted to look like an MJ2A, but it is a CJ.
This should make someone a fun little project. It was running before I started to dismantle and I used to drive it to the store for fun. Body if fairly solid. Some rust on the undercarriage and some bondo work on the body. Not all original, but it still pretty nice. Has a nice little flat head 4 cylinder in it too. 3 speed manual trans. And lockable hubs via a shifter in the vehicle.
This could easily be modified to be a rock crawler, or taken out as is. Email me if you are a serious bidder only.”

Unclear just how much value is here.
“As is not running”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2000.
(06/24/2012) This runs, but needs work.
“1942 Ford GPW military jeep. This is definitely a project waiting for the next owner to bring her back to life. This jeep has always been in the family, lastly with my father in-law who towed it behind his RV for many years. Sadly, it has seen little use in the last 10 years and with his recent passing, I have been asked to find a new owner. Appears to be original drive train. Many spare parts included. Engine does run but vehicle will need to be trailered away as condition of brakes & drive train is unknown and probably not safe. I don’t know a lot more about its condition but e-mail with any questions and I’ll try my best to answer them. Also, I just trailered the Jeep to my business where it’s more convenient to show. E-mail for directions. $2,000 OBO. Thanks for looking.”

One of the more unusual Camo paint jobs I’ve seen. It appears to have a wood front bumper.
