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 $4000.
This has a variety of updates.
“1945 willys jeep on a 1973 cj chassis with a chevy 4.3 v-6 with outside frame rail headers, it also has a DANA 44 rear end and new aluminum radiator. I currently has a 700r4 transmission and is two wheel drive. I used it primarily around town and to the beach, I have a t-18 with dana 20 transfer case to convert back to 4 wheel drive. It has been a fun to have around but time to move on to something different.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The SN plate seems to be missing the last number, with a line over where the last number should be. I would guess this is really a 98xxx serial number. The seller also notes that the “Jeep is in great condition”. Really? Interestingly, this has full floating rear hubs, too.
“Specifications:

There is value here. Apart from the owl dung, the body and body parts look good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Looks pretty rough.
“I have a willys m38 body that I am selling. Not sure if it’s 51 or 52. Sorry there are no plates with this tub. The rest of the jeep is not for sale, only the tub. There are no fenders, hood or grill included. You do get the tail gate. I can deliver for an extra price inside the Houston area. Feel free to ask questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This might be good for the price.
“1950 Willys CJ3A – running original flathead rebuilt engine. Body in great condition. Everything operational, roll-bar and bikini top. Garage kept, but wife wants the space for her car. Clean Title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
For $500 looks like a good parts jeep. It doesn’t run at the moment, but has a Kelly hardtop.
“For sale is a 1963 Jeep Willys CJ5 it has a steel hard top and full hard doors in good condition. Also it has 2 engines the orginal 4 cylinder and the buick v6 found in the later 1960’s willys, also it has the orginal transmission and transfer case, has a rear dana 44 and i also have an extra dana 44 with it and too many other parts to list. I also have a clean and clear title for this jeep.This is a restoration project, frame body and hard top has surface rust but has no rust through spots just on the rear cross member.

There appears to be some value here.

It runs and drives, however I can’t agree that “everything is as it should be”.
“1945 military jeep made by Ford GPW. It’s the same thing as a Willys and parts are interchangeable. The original 4 cylinder was pulled and a V6 from a 53 was installed. There is surface rust but no holes or anything bad. The jeep runs and drives great and the 4wd and everything is as it should be. Might trade but cash is preferred. $1000 731-607-1405”

(10/13/2011) I’m assuming the model number is an error?

It seems one of the updates I did to the site yesterday broke it this evening, leaving me unable to do any updates (lol). After a little time, I was able to fix the problem so everything works again (I hope). So, I will delay updates until Thursday morning.
Bob reports he spotted this last week while driving in the Florida panhandle. This was right along the Alabama-Floridastate line on route 231 north of Marianna.
This looks like a good price.

This is a hand made body advertised as a CJ-2A kit, but looking more like a MB/CJ-3a kit.
