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 .
It was running 30 year ago. It has been stored a while. It might be a good restoration project. This appears to have a Worman half cab.

A couple years ago, a son by the username korywayne created this for his father for father’s day. Pretty cool!

“1952 WILLYS JEEP M 38 Runs great! The body is in excellent condition! Here is what has been altered: The second battery box (which was removed and bonded over). This was done before I received the Jeep. The 24 volt system was removed and the 12 volt put in its place. Also, I added power steering! The motor is a Buick V6 225 that was taken from a scrambler and placed in the jeep. It can climb a tree! It has a 3 speed transmission out of a 1968 CJ5. The transfer case is from a 1968 CJ5 as well. Both the transmission and the transfer case are the same make that used to be put in the earlier willys. I’ve also got a few extra parts for this jeep that you can have at no additional cost. Just to be clear this jeep is completely off-road ready! It doesn’t smoke at all and there are no unusual noises. My number is 928-607-1120. email, call, or text. I have additional pictures. Come take a look!!!”

Roadmonster.org wrote about designer Tavis Highlander and his wagon last year. According to the post, his illustrations have been featured in Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines. In addition, he illustrated and then built the below wagon, which has been featured in Hot Rod Magazine, Truckin’ Magazine, and Radical Renderings.

Here’s Tavis’ concept drawing:
You can see here that this started with a pretty ordinary, rough wagon:

Here’s a look at the motor (from Roadmaster.org):
At some point this image was uploaded to Wikimedia. I thought it was a nice, detailed, large image. Click on the image and you can check out the details pretty closely.
It runs and drives, but definitely needs work. http://www.cj3a.info/sibling/cjv35u/photos/picsv35.html
“For sale is a 1950 Willys Military Jeep. It is a CJV35/U which is a specialty jeep made for under water use for radio equipment. It is known as the rarest military jeep in the world with just 1000 manufactured. Only about 50 are still in existence. This is a project jeep for sure. It runs and drives but is in rough condition. Again this is a project jeep for a military jeep enthusiast. It has all of the original drive train including the Flathead 4 cylinder engine.

(11/12/2010) Here’s a DJ-3A that is in excellent condition, though it has been updated to 4wd. The seller believes that there were DJ-3As with 4wd produced, but Bruce has told me this wasn’t the case.
“Unique little Dispatcher survivor in great condition. These vehicles were mostly all 2wdr units and only a few 4×4’s were produced, not sure if this is one or if it has been converted. It is in super condition to use as is or if a person was wanting to restore it, it would be a very nice little project. The jeep has all the correct running gear and it all works as it should. The transmission leaks at the front seal I believe, and needs to be replaced or keep a good eye on the fluid level. It also has new tires, clutch, shocks, brakes and wheel cyl’s. The roof on theses Dispatchers was not meant to taken on and off, so it is bolted on with many bolts, but could be removed with a couple hrs of labor. The electric winch on the front is super HD, probably overkill for this jeep, and it works great! The Jeep is also set up and wired for towing, pulls very nice, we towed it up and down the Oregon coast and had a blast on the beaches with it!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400

Maggie’s grandmother spotted this funny cartoon. Note that she edited out the original vehicle model and superimposed “jeep” in its place.
According to Baldocomics.com, the strip is written by Hector Cantu and Carlos Castellanos and is about Baldo, “a daydreaming teenager who’s trying to be the coolest kid in school. In the meantime, he’ll settle for a good game of soccer and building the sweetest lowrider car. That’s the short answer. But Baldo is much more than that.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This looks like a good price.
