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 $1200
There might be some useful parts here.
“complete truck , but has not been run in the last 10 years. There is some rust but good condition for its age. ”
UPDATE: Last priced at $2750. **Status Unknown**
(12/22/2010) This looks like it is missing the tranny cover. This has one of the angled dashes that I believe to an aftermarket option. I’ve seen this on several jeeps.
“1953 jeep for sale. 4 cyl. 1976 pinto motor automatic. Thanks for looking!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000

UPDATE: Still Available. Price bumped to $3200.
(06/22/2010) You gotta check out the mods on this jeep. I can’t remember seeing a cable roller installed quite the way this one was done. Check out the front fenders, too.
“Ok here goes… To the best of my knowledge this is a 1944 willys military jeep. Vehicle has no title and is being sold as parts. Gussett no. is 244,0xx. Some one has done extensive modification to this jeep ! get ready ! Its got a f-85 olds six cylinder engine (non running) A PTO SHIFTER AND THE PTO GEAR BOX FROM A CJ JEEP. (Drive line currently to PTO gear box is hooked into axle winch). The pto gear box seems firm but the Pto shifter wont shift with normal pressure, im not going to force it ! possibly will need dismantled and gone threw or may just need cleaned Extra rear axle converted to a winch with lots of cable, the winch cable is to the front of the jeep thru rollers. Electrical plug in socket in rear panel( I beleive this is origional) IT ALL SO HAS A CORVETTE T10 BORG WARNER TRANSMISSION, WAS FOR 1963 IMPALLA 409 SS or corvette 327 APPLICATION ORIGIONALLY ( T10148B T10D-1) the transmissions origional tail shaft is now replaced with the transfer case and PTO to make every thing in sinc. There are a lot of extra parts that go with the Jeep,i wont list but you will see in pics. this jeep also has a tilt steering colum ! I beleive it has a m38 windshield. Ive discribed jeep the best i can, between pics and discription you shoud get a good discription, That said vehicle, or parts come with no warrenty . If jeep doesnt reach reserve, but if i so choose to still sell to higest bidder, the transmission will not be included in sale, but will be included for a additional 600 dollars.”

UPDATE: Master Cylinder, Handle, Hinges and heater are sold.
I’m cleaning up the garage and have items I’m not going to use. Perhaps someone needs them? d@willys.com …
This is a 1949 CJ-3A drain that sits under the hood and is supposed to act as a drain for water that sneaks in along the rear of the hood. It’s not in perfect shape (some dings), but I can’t remember seeing one for sale. $10 + shipping.
Brand new spring bushings (1955-1975) (6 total) free +shipping
Dana 18 parts. I can send gear numbers if necessary. Make offer.
Leftover dana 20 gears. Make offer.
Specifically, it seems one of my fingers is either broken or dislocated (two different diagnoses) while playing basketball today. The worst part was that we had just barely started playing. I had hoped the swelling would decrease enough to allow more efficient typing, but that did not happen.
However, there was some good news. Not only did I make the shot, but it was the ring finger on my left hand that was damaged, a finger I have no further use for anyway. That poor finger has been more damaged, on and off the court, than any of my other fingers :-).
UPDATEIII: Now on ebay http://www.ewillys.com/?p=53328
UPDATE II: You can view larger pics here: http://jpegbay.com/gallery/000807963-.html of this fake ad. The seller will only take payment via Google Checkout because he is in such a hurry. Paul points out something I missed — this has an 8″ lift … or not! Thanks to John for detective work on this one.
UPDATED: John alerted me that this GPW is also listed for sale in Chicago. Since neither ad mentions the jeep being in either city, be on a scam watch just to be safe.
This could be a reasonable price. Appears in good shape. The hood blocks are in a strange location.

I was checking out Wes’ Offroad Action site the other day and ran across this amazing photo. There is no evidence to support the rumor that the driver was texting just before this occurred (in fact, texting was a few decades away yet). But, I’ll make the claim anyway. See kids, particularly my kids, don’t text and drive off road!
Click on the pic to see a larger version and to see other pics of this CJ-5 Camper Combo.
This has seen some action.

The seller has listed this as a 1945. Someone tried to correct the seller within the question area, but it didn’t seem to change the mind of the seller. The serial number of this is #72596, making this a late 1946 CJ-2A. The seller claims the tool indents were filled in, but they should not even be there with that VIN#. However, the drain holes do appear filled in, so is possible there were indents, but then the VIN is wrong. Of course, there isn’t a column shifter and the data plate is incorrect for a 1945 There are other issues as well. Note where the emergency brake is located. Here’s a few shots of how a 1945 CJ-2A should look from the CJ-2A Page (Jim Coffed’s Jeep).
“But this is a nice 1945 Willys Overland. Has nice MB steering wheel. Some rust on underside appears to be untouched for the most part. It does have original drive train. Solid original exhaust. Has new parking brake and cable. This is an amatuer restored vehicle and is about 95% complete with slight modifications like gauge panel folds down for easy access to fusses and under dash. The heater and driver seat are not original. Engine has been rebuilt. Tank heater w/ thermostat. Front windshield is fully operational like new. Passenger side window is cracked but both pieces of glass are original. Turn signal lenses are glass not plastic. Has Brass screws in Transmission and master cylinder cover so they dont rust solid for easy removal when maintnence is needed. Back of jeep is loaded full of parts. Some of the parts included are carburetor, driveshafts, new u joints still in box. 6 volt headlights and bulbs. Master cylinder and kits wheel cylinders and kits. Spare fuel pump, regulator, and distributor. Also an assortment of spare original gauges, windshield latches and wing nuts…”
I’m not sure why the tractor tires are white. Maybe from the mud?
“Runs great. Motor has been rebuilt. Transmission strong. Needs starter rebuilt. No title. Call John @ (225) 936-0242”
http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/2183419103.html

This doesn’t run, however it does have a rear PTO plus the rare windshield.
“M-38A1 Model Parts are still available on E-bay. Not running, Has not been used in a while. This would make a great project to “RESTORE”. Has a 24-volt battery system and the original key.”
There might be some value here. The body appears solid.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1800.
(11/19/2010) This might be worth a look. It doesn’t run at the moment.
“the Jeep is in the la area near the 10 and the 605 ok now about the jeep but it is a clean CJ3B Jeep, the year is a 1953 which is the first year , it has no rust and yellowish paint, it runs but isn’t road worthy yet, it needs some minor brake work, but over all not in bad shape, I am posting this for a friend so call him for more information what you just read is all I know about it but the owner of the Jeep is a “Jeep nut” so don’t be afraid to call and ask him questions.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
This appears solid. It looks like the old paint was covered with some gray spray paint.
“New top, New seats, Chevy 327 V8, Dana front and rear axles, 35″ Tires, Full Roll Cage, Runs Great,”
Strangely, the seller neglects to mention the gaping divide between the body and the front clip. That aside, there’s plenty of value in the rims, tires and body parts.
“this is not a running jeep….it has a clean fram, nice tires and nice chrome rime. body is ok but floor pans need redone. has mounts in already for g motor. axles are clean as well. front is already converted to disc brakes. windshield is not cracked.
