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 .
This appears to have the 3 smaller dataplates.

This might have been listed previously, but I can’t locate it. It looks familiar. This has a great old winch.
“1951 Willys, runs good. You can fix it up or use it for hunting just like it is.”

If you need 2 CJ-5 parts jeeps, these might foot the bill.
“I have 2 CJ5s for sale; the pictured one is complete, but is a project (will need a new bucket). The second one has no body, and the engine has seized and been torn down when I got it; that engine is on an engine stand that will go with them. I believe I have enough running gear parts for the second to be complete. I have 3 windshield frames (glass is there but cracked), and 2 grills. I am looking to clear some space in the garage and just do not have time to work on these. I have clear title on one of them, no title for the second.”

You don’t see too many white-wall tires like those on jeeps!
“This is a road worthy ’53 Willys Jeep CJ-3B that starts with the turn of the key and runs great. Vehicle has a 289 Ford V8 (unknown mileage) coupled to the original transmission and transfer case that features an overdrive. Vehicle also has locking/unlocking hubs which makes for less wear and better fuel economy. The vehicle has the original gauges with all but the gas gauge operating. Also, the electrical system has been upgraded to a 12 volt system and incorporated 2 speed wipers and electric emergency/parking brake. The interior seats are black vinyl with no cuts, rips or tears and DOES NOT have seat belts., vehicle does however, have a roll bar. Also, she has a new canvas top with doors,new shocks,and new springs with 2 inch risers. The brakes haven’t been worked on by me as they seem to work fine. You also get 10 tires: one set of four street tires with 3 1/2 inch white walls mounted on stock rims and 6 mud & snow tires mounted on stock rims. The body is in fair shape (no wrecks to my knowledge) but has rust repair areas with new Banana Yellow paint to cover her scars. Of course I have no way of knowing how many miles are on the vehicle/engine etc. the mileage on the odometer reads 68548. I’ll be happy to answer any questions upon request–Thanks.”
This looks like a good price on a very early M-38a1.
“1952 M38-A1 first year of the round fender jeeps, Original engine, 24V electrics, restorable body. Was used as a fire truck after it left the Army. Still has the Army green paint underneath. Engine is siezed from storage. Great project vehicle mostly original. Some extra parts. Please put WILLYS in the subject line when e-mailing.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a beautiful build.
“We recently retired and moved from California to Wisconsin on the Rock River I purchased the Willys about two years ago (California vehicle-no rust). I made a few minor improvements but for the most part it is as I purchased it. When we arrived in Wisconsin I ended up buying a boat and a couple of wave runners for the Grandkids. Running out of room so I have to get rid of some things.
This is a 1951 Willys with four wheel drive that works. It has a 327 Corvette engine, not sure of year. Tires are Steel Belted Radial 32 x 11.50, 15”. Rims are “American Racing”. Has a new Pioneer Radio/CD player, new battery, an electric antenna, and a power wench. Speedometer shows 3701 (not original speedometer) had 200 on when I bought. This is not a show car. Has a few nicks and two spots on the roll bar where the paint got rubbed off (see picture). Other than that, it runs great and is a fun vehicle to drive (very quick). Gets lots of attention wherever I go.”
This is very much a project. Despite what the seller says, I’m less certain that grille is stock. It looks like a MB grille to me. The body, along with the V35U specific data plate, appear to be correct. Here are some pics I was using from the G503as a comparison.
“I am selling a VERY RARE military jeep. Here is an article on them: http://www.cj-3a.com/CJ-V35U.htm
It is a 1950 Willys CJ-V35-U. They made only 1000 of these jeeps for the USMC in 1950. It is factory built using a mixture of MB, And CJ3A parts, and is very very rare. The one that i am selling is in VERY restore-able condition, and mostly complete, and un-molested. It has been stored indoors for several years. This jeep retains a lot of the original, hard to find parts, like: Ram horn tow hooks, Starter, generator, voltage regulator, front seats, pintle hook, Fuel tank, front bumper, bumperetts, tail gate, lower spare tire carrier half, air cleaner, cross over tube, fording exhaust with shroud, head light switch, Transmission locking chain, all gauges (minus temp), two correct windshield frames. NOS voltage regulator, NOS fording tail pipe bracket.
It comes with the following reproduction parts: Upper spare tire carrier, Lift rings, and antenna mount. This is a NUMBERS MATCHING JEEP, the engine is the correct serial number for this jeep!! the engine number is V-10125, and the chassi is believed to be chassi number V-10115. They started production @ number V-10101, so this was #115 of 1000 to be built. It has the correct hood, fenders, grill, body. There is a little controversy over the nose of this jeep, but there are things i can point out that are factory and that no one would have been able to change. It is very early production in a very limited production run. Asking $5100.00, Sorry no trades”

I think this is still a project. It’s unclear to me if it runs or not.
“1948 Willys. Has 283 chev V-8(Might be out of 59 Corvette). Original trans, transfer case and rearend.New Rancho shocks. Tilt wheel. New guages. Custom fuel cell. Decided to take on a different project. $3100.00 or best offer.”

No pics provided, but this might be a great price.
“1942 Ford GPW (Willys Jeep) Has been used as an off road camping vehicle for the last 30+ years. It’s recently had the seats redone and some misc work. However, there is some damage from a brush fire to a tail light and the top cover. It’s in good overall condition. It would be great to keep as a toy or as a restoration project. Please e-mail me to set up a time to view the jeep. It’s being stored at my father’s house in Mona. I live in Colorado.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a couple of parts jeeps.
“I have two willys jeeps for sale. One of them is a cj2a (1948?), and the other is a cj3a (1950?). They both need work, but they were both running when and driving when parked. The picture of the one on the left side has the transmission out for a rebuild that never got finished, the parts are in a box, new clutch, main shaft, gears, etc. It has mud tires that were bought about two years ago, virtually no miles on them. The one on the right was running and driving and bought as a parts jeep. These jeeps have been hunting jeeps for a long time. The bodies have typical rust, pretty decent shape for jeeps of this age. Take two and make one, or use both for you parts jeeps. I do not have titles to either one but will give a bill of sale. I am asking $1500 OBO, for the both of the jeeps. Make me an offer. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
The body looks like it might be a replacement body or this is really a M-38.
“47 Jeep, mostly stock, Pinto 4cyl, Runs good but could use some brake work. Has a new top and good doors. 33″ swampers.”
It doesn’t run.
“1949 willy Jeep – Not running, ready for overhaul. $1,200 or OBO call 548-3140. northwest tucson.”

This is located at the same place that has the MB posted below. Again, this looks like a reasonable price with some decent parts.
“This is a decent condition project jeep. It’s missing the pass. seat & inner windshield frame, but is for the most part complete. The motor turns over, and all the drivetrain components spin, but I have no idea if it’ll run. The body’s pretty straight, there’s minimal rust through on the floor, and the frame’s good as well.

Dan spotted this one. It doesn’t look too bad.
“This is a 44 Willys MB and is in rough condition. The tub’s straight but rusty, there’s no pass. seat, radiator, or windshield, but there’s still lots of good parts. (axels,trans & T-case, steering box, ect.) The engine’s a non stock F-head and is missing some parts. The frame’s been welded up alot in the front but is decent from the firewall back. You can see it at 312 S. Dishman Rd. (corrner of Dishman & Appleway) or give me a call (ask for Dave) at 509-928-4460…cell 509-991-4573. There is no title.”
