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 .

(04/15/2011) This has an unusual paint job. It’s got the wrong tailgate.

I’ve seen Willys treated worse. This image comes from Tumblr.
Mark has this posted over at sellajeep. I do wish the brake handle and gauge edges hadn’t been painted.

This looks like a nice rig. I’m surprised it wasn’t finished off with a full cage.

This is a little rough, but looks complete. Mark has it listed at warjeeps.com.
“Willys Jeep, model M38A1. She runs but needs a bit of body work. Been sitting for a while now and needs batteries but with a little love, this would be a perfect hunting partner. I do not have the specifics other than it was built in 1953, plus or minus a couple of years. $2,000.00 Mike 719-641-1957”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
There’s some value here.
“Call for details if interested.”
This looks solid. It might be a fine price. I can’t tell if there is rust along the sides or not.
“Runs good -lots new parts new brakes,carb,battery,guages and more has good title call for details 336-572-2718”

Apparently this includes a PTO, possibly a rear PTO.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There are a few non stock issues, but it appears solid. It has the rear PTO too.
“12 volt conversion. Runs great. Original engine and air/oil filters. Has original factory installed live PTO option to run brush hog, sprayer, or water pump which is RARE! The flathead runs great and strong, the transmission shifts like new. Underneath this jeep is super solid, all crossmembers are solid and nice, the underside of the pan is very very nice. This was not a pan off but somewhere in it’s past I do believe it was–it definitely was babied. I did some basic maintenance to it, (oil, brakes, carb adjustment, etc) and proceded to make a jeep that was one to be used. I wanted something I could drive in a parade and then run to my favorite fishing hole in, not a show queen. The fact that this had the PTO just made it that much more special for me. This really is a great jeep and super nice driver. Has 16″ rims and tires have great tread,but do have some age cracks in them, nothing major just figured you should know.”
This has a new tub. This appears to have a PTO.
“Flat Head 4 cxl

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3200
(08/17/2010) This is mostly stock.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A 4×4. This jeep is almost complete original, including the motor, transmission, transfer case, and axles. This is a cool little toy, or a great start on a restoration project.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000
(05/18/2011) This is listed as a 1948 CJ-2A, but it has a DJ-3A bumper and body at the very least. It might be on a CJ-2A frame, as it does have 4wd.
“I have a 1948 Willy’s that I am forced to part with after putting lots of effort into it. The VIN plate is good and therefore easily titled. I can provide a Bill of Sale.
The front and rear end were totally rebuilt with new gears, seals and bearings. The engine runs strong after a tune up, and newly rehabbed starter. All cylinders have good compression. Clutch is functions enough to move the Jeep around the yard as you can see. So considered it drivable enough to get it up on a trailer under its own power.
The body is the problem. Not shown is the hood in standard condition. The center seam needs work. But the hood is included. The floors are gone.”

Gerald spotted this great image on tumblr.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.

This is a MB/GPW of some vintage.
“Jeep for sale: around 1948 or 1952 model
Motor runs fair; may require tune-up
Gun racks installed
Large back end for feed, etc”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks good, though I’m not a fan of the side mirror.
“Really straight and clean jeep. Has the overhead valve engine and it runs very good. Has a set of doors that come with it. The only thing it might need is a better set of tires”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This has a few issues, but the body appears solid.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Was running. It looks pretty solid, though it has been modified. It looks like someone bent the back seat backwards.
“Old willy’s project. Bought it in Tuscon running 6 months ago but changing to a different project now.Never got started.
Took battery out and the gas tank needs replaced. Needs gas and battery but will run.Could be awesome.MB’s are getting harder to find.”
