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: Dexter nabbed this one. **SOLD**
No pics.
“Original 1943 Army Military Jeep Barn Find in good as found original condition needs to be restored, 2,500 or B.O.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This is interesting. The seller says this is an unrestored M-38 in great condition. If accurate, this might be an unusual find if you want a M-38.
“Up for sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Army jeep. Looks and runs good. Tires are new. No rust however certain parts are pitted. Willys flathead 4cyl engine original to the jeep, T90 trans, 4wd. This is a rare untouched, unrestored find. It came straight from the fire dept and runs very good. Shifts fine, Steers tight, stops as it should and does not leak any oil. It has been converted to 12 volt by the fire dept and has never been modified or in civilian hands untill recently. I have the original gov. release form. This jeep also has the original spring seat cushions.
the last photo is a picture of my yard, if you buy and pay you will recieve. Local pickup only however I can help with shipping to 48 states and overseas.”
No pics provided. I’m wondering if this is an WWII Jeep or not.
“Original 1943 Wileys jeep with full factory hardtop and matching trailer. Running condition with clear title. Only serious buyers: Call 509-969-6989”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
All three look pretty rough.

I just got done reading about the ‘boom’ in the use of QR codes among business people in Idaho. I really hadn’t paid attention to this technology, but then i thought that putting these codes on the back of a business card might just make sense. So, I thought I’d try generating an eWillys code for kicks.
To see what the code does, first you will need a smart phone (despite my fondness for apple computers, I have an Android Galaxy S Phone which I really like).
You will need to install barcode scanner software (I installed Barcode Scanner from ZXing Team, which I read about here).
Once you install the software, open the program and point it at the image above and it should bring up a link to eWillys on your phone. I thought it was cool!
To generate your own Code for your business (or for any reason), you can drop by kaywa.com. It takes only a few seconds to generate one.
Chet contacted me today, telling me about the restoration he recently completed on his 1965 CJ-3B that was once owned by his Grandfather. He clearly suffers from the Willy’s sickness, as he’s got the restoration bug again and is thinking Surrey this time (but don’t tell his wife just yet). His CJ-3B is evidence that any project he tackles will benefit from his good work. You can read all about his restoration at the CJ-3B Page. (Make sure to read about the bottle opener.)
There looks to be value here.
“1949 willys cj2. No motor,no title. Running gear from bellhousing back including rear drive pto. Body not bad but lot’s of bondo. Would be fun to drop in a bigger motor and turn into a rock crawler,ice racer or rat rod.”

“I have 2 willys jeep tubs and willys jeep frame im asking $100.00 for all of it the fame is original and in good shape the tub is good with a solid floor and the other one is good spare parts also have a windshild frame, grill, and hood that goes with it if you have any questions my number is 360-893-1964 please no emails thanks.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000.
(01/18/2011) This has a fiberglass tub. It does need some work.
“Pretty solid Jeep. Motor runs very good. Top is very good. 31×10.5 mud terrain treadwrights. only downside is the fiberglass tub. Needs very little done to it. What it does need are spring bushings and shackles which are pretty cheap and the storage bin that the passenger seat is mounted to. Was also converted to a 12v system but I think it still has the original generator, so it has a little bit of a hard time keeping a charge in the 12v battery on short drives. has original wheels. I have doors also. I just never mounted them, because I saw no purpose. $3000 obo.”

“47 flatfender all steel tub in good shape decent paint good project jeep I have a 302 ford motor and a t90 tranny with overdrive and a Dana 18 transfercase they just need to be put in it’s probably 90 percent complete it just needs some small parts I have a top for it also I can email pics I’m asking 1700 or best offer”
Wolfgang lives in Germany and has a great looking M-38. But, I think that travel trailer is equally cool. It was built in Belgium in 1977 and the model is a Coral T3.
BTW Wolfgang is looking for a Bell Crank. Anyone have an extra one? Just email me at d@ewillys.com.
Here’s the shot of the trailer:
Wolfgang and some friends were out jeeping recently. As you can see, he’s not afraid to get it dirty, either.
I thought this was a really cool shot. They are crossing a river on a small ferry. The town in the background looks so picturesque!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
The grille tines look straight.
“leftover parts from a willys flatfender project I abandoned. came from a 42 willys mb, but they should fit other jeeps. good hood, and grill. decent fenders, and one good seat frame.
call Alex”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Engine is pulled. Title says price is $1200, but the text says $1400.
“This 1946 CJ2A has a good running L134 Flathead 4cly, Drivetrain in good Condition, T-90 Trans, (Twin Stick) Transfer Case. Has the Dana 44 Rear Axle, Dana 25 Front. Recently the clutch started slipping. Pulled the engine about 1 month ago. Frame has been boxed in the front, To improve strength. Has the stronger 1″3/4 driveline. Wiring has been updated, 6V system. This Jeep Willys is Stock, In fair Condition. Has become more of a project than my little garage can handle… All pictures are recent. Asking $1,400 or best offer.”
UPDATE: Steve and I believe these are the Parkette Molds. They appear to have sold.
You don’t see these appear for sale often. The CJ-3B Molds are especially unusual.
“Old set of molds to build Willys fiberglass bodies
One floor pan mold in good shappe.
One High hood body mold, needs to be reworked, wooden supports rotted and broken
One high hood grille mold
One low hood grille mold
One high hood hood mold
One low hood hood mold
One tailgate mold
Couple other misc. molds”
UPDATE: Mike notes in the comments that the pintle hitch was an option for the CJ-2As and bolts right up. So, this could be a CJ-2A frame with a pintle.
The serial number suggests this is a little late to be a VEC CJ-2A.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A (VEC- very early civilian) SN#76584. Kept in garage. Not working but small repairs required. Trailer included”

Doug spotted these.
“I have two vintage Willys Jeepster or Jeep pick up truck grilles. 1940’s or early 1950’s. New old stock. Found in the attic of an old building that was a Willys dealership back in the 1950’s.

(08/26/2010) It needs a starter at the very least.
“Jeep has been parked for 5 years, needs new top and starter. ran and drove good before parked. has bucket seats, desert cammo with over head valve 4 cyclinder. 541-480-6196 ”
http://eastoregon.craigslist.org/cto/2189215920.html

(01/07/2011) Looks good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Lindsey noted this might be a CJ-V35, given the hood cut-out and the tow hooks.
“This was licensed in 2009. It was parked when owner had a stroke. Motor is out of a 45 and was rebuilt as his sons highschool project. I’m helping a disabled gentleman who still owns this. Make an offer via text or email.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $7495
Check out the front bumper. That’s one of the more unusual bumpers I’ve seen. I might just have to go check that out tomorrow if I can make the time. I find the angles and integrated approach to the winch appealing. The back is more standard, but looks good too.
Gerald found two more pics Ron May’s Jeep, which show what can happen when you drive off course. You’ve seen this first one.
