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 .

“1953 Willys military Jeep. My father-in-law had this surplus Jeep turned into a hunting Jeep complete with a marine plywood dog box. It always ran great, but unfortunately I never started it up after he gave it to me eight years ago. It was stored outside for much of that time, but is now stored inside.
This is a historical model. The M-38A1 was the military equivalent to the civilian CJ-3. 1953 was the first year of the M-38A1. The CJ-3 didn’t come out until the following year. Definitely a collectors item for Willys Jeep fans.”

“1949/51 Willys Project For Sale. I am getting too old, and a promotion at work is eating all of my time. So, sadly, my old Willys has to go. I have put a lot of myself into this project, but the years drag on and I am not sufficiently close to completing the job to keep at it. The reason I call her a 49/51 is that the title says it’s a ’49, but the VIN would indicate that it’s a ’51. Dave Reed I welcome all inquiries. email: home_stead@msn.com

(04/08/2009) It looks like someone got lost among the 10,000 lakes, got out, and never came back.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep Body on a NEWER jeep frame. Good mud truck project. NO TITLE OR MOTOR…$800 b/o…DO NO EMAIL. CALL GARY”
There are some WWII parts here, but the body seems to be at least part M-38.
“1942 ford jeep”

Some unusual mods, but it appears solid.
“Jeep has new steel body and is powered by 350 Chevy . It has a surrey top on now. Rust-free. Very good condition. Can deliver if desired.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(05/20/2011) The seller mentions this might be an old fire jeep, but the seller has no evidence of this.
“This is a near perfect example of a 1950 CJ3A. I bought it in Fresno Ca (still has the black CA plates but also has clear AZ title and plates) now my Son says “no you can’t take the grandaughter in that” and my big old belly rubs the steering wheel. So I am looking for a Jeep Wrangler or Polaris Ranger or something even more stable. This jeep has 18,000 miles on it, the only modifications from stock are: conversion to 12 V, roll bar, bikini top, k&n Air filiter, 5 new tires/rims (have stock rims), tow bar in front. There is absolutely no rust on this jeep, has a plate covering the hole in the left front fender where the siren went. has one dent in the left rear fender well, no other significant body damage. I don’t know if there is a problem with the charging system or ? but when the battery is charged this thing runs like a singer sewing machine. Top speed is less than 50 MPH. The brakes suck. as with all old jeeps the front brakes have thier issues, they work (sometimes too well) and try to lock up the front tires. After I bought this I showed it to my cousin in Bakersfield who is a retired Kern county Fire Capt. He stated that many of the county fire departments had these old jeeps for small back country fires but that they really weren’t used much. This is the only reason this old a jeep could be in this good of a condition with this low of miles. She is a beauty with absolutely no rust.
I really thought this would be such a hoot to take my granddaughter four wheeling in but; The Son says no, so she’s got to go..”
Paul reports that summer in Alaska has arrived, with temperatures reaching the blazing heat of the low 50s. He tells me that the sun doesn’t set until 11:30 pm and sunrise is slightly before 4:30 am giving them 19 hours of daylight and five hours of twilight. While summer isn’t long, it sure is beautiful, as seen in Paul’s picture below.
This looks like a pretty good truck.
“1949 Willys Pickup. 4×4, 4 cylinder. All original. Nice little truck to restore, just too many projects. Not interested in any trades.”

(05/28/2011) Here’s a nicely chopped wagon. I would like to see more pictures of the chopped area.
“I have a 1962 Jeep Willys Roadster 4×4. Originally was a wagon and has been converted to a convertible roadster. Awesome vehicle to cruise around town in, rides pretty smooth due to the longer wheelbase.Vehicle is STREET LEGAL and the tags are good till March 2013. Has Super Hurricane flat-top I6 motor that runs perfect! Runs as quiet as a brand new vehicle. Brakes work great and handles descent for a vehicle made in the 60’s. The 4wd also works excellent. Here is a list of some add-ons.
– 15×10 Eagle Alloy wheels
– 32″ Dunlop All Terrains…(great tread)
– Warn Premium hubs
– 200 watt CD player with AM-FM radio
– Street Legal
– Clear Blue Title”
No pics provided.
“Body in fair to good shape; orignal motor, hubs have been added and are in working order; electrical converted to 12v; tires are good. Pictures upon request.”
There is some value here.
“1963 Willy wagon.
Clear title. Stock original drive train. The engine runs, but it is 50 years old and needs some love. Needs a brake master cylinder and a front brake line, as well as an exhaust to drive.
The body is in poor condition. The front floorboards at rusted as well as rust in the tailgate and quarter panels.
1951 Wagon.

(01/03/2011) This looks real nice. The pics looks like they were taken on Tacoma’s north side which is bounded by South Puget Sound.
I worked for a short time near where these photos were taken at C.I. Shenanigans before going back to College to complete my undergrad degree at UPS. I knew the waterfront well, as I spent a lot of time riding my bike along the waterfront and into one of nicest city parks in the nation, Point Defiance Park.
“took this in part trade for a restored Model AA truck in 2009. I used it a couple of times but now I need my garage space back. This things a real hoot. Very smooth and quiet running. No squeaks or rattles. A great example of an unmolested jeep. What grabbed me was, it’s like a time machine, it’s upgraded with the stuff we used in the late ‘60’s and early ‘70’s. Has parts catalogues from early 70’s is seat storage compartment. It’s almost like it was parked in 1972 and found in 2009.
Has an unusual working winch with dual solenoids and Aux. light, removable tow bar, Solex carb, extra mounted coil, CB, converted to 12 volt (with alternator), wider tires and rims, rear swing away spare tire mount, full top, turn indicators.
Engine has had complete rebuild including stainless steel valves and hardened seats for unleaded gas. I added more out of habit, a new battery, HD shocks, plugs, NOS emergency brake shoes and oil change. I’ve encountered no problems with anything.
I joined my old high school friend and jeep nut from 40 yrs. ago on a camping trip in the cascades last summer with his family. Everyone had a ball using the jeep for getting more ice and marshmallows, driving around the campsite, and exploring logging roads with the grand kids. I’d forgotten how low geared, quiet and sure-footed these rigs were.
