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 $6500.
This is a nice CJ-2A with plenty of upgrades.

This looks like a MB body with the back cut out. From a distance, it doesn’t look all that bad …
“1942 Willys Jeep….Have title, some extra parts. Engine is in chassis.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This might be a good project. Is that an old roll bar sticking out the back?
“1943 Willys Jeep MB model. Original flat head 4 cylinder Willys engine. Misc parts and repair manual. This vehicle ran until the clutch went out, new clutch partially installed. This vehicle is a great project vehicle. Jeep doesn’t have a gas tank. This was an old Navy jeep. Still has the original blackout lights except for the headlight. This is great for the serious restorer.”

(02/18/2010) Brett forward me a link that lead me to several items from KSL’s website (in salt lake city), here’s a ’46 that appears pretty solid. This is located in Eastern Idaho. Note there’s another jeep next to the one for sale, but no indication as to whether that’s for sale or not.”

(07/13/09) There’s been a variety of updates done to this including reversed SOA (spring over axle) springs in the front. It looks like it might be SOA in the back, too.
“Very nice highhood needs some work to be ready to street or trail drive agian i jeeped it for a year then started fixing many things took blazer springs off moved front 3 inchs forward put dodge spring over front and rear fixed shock mounts daul shock all around fixed and replaced brake lines rear wheel cylinders new master cylinder micro lock fixed steering colume tilt new mounting brackets new steering arm all new body and spring bushings has dana 44s front and rear powerlock rear 427 gears detroit locker front new drive lines front rear has pro car seats full cage comes with used fulltop has exellent running 327 V8 just built custom headers for it and had them ceramic coated cast iron t-10 4 speed and cast iron bell housing i took tank under seat out and has a 12 gallon tank under rear i took out was going to build a bigger one fixed winch mount and front bumper has a fairly new 8274 put new electronic distribator and value covers and air cleaner on it has a great working q jet carb on it works nice on hills i got a willys grill and hood that go with it jeep still needs alittle work to get back on road if i repaint it and get back driving i want 12500 take way it is now 10000 firm”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/12/2010) This has some unusual features. It’s an ugly duckling of sorts. I’m kind of digging that crazy hood — not sure what’s wrong with me — it’s a strange one. If you can easily get the engine going, this might be an interesting project. And what’s on the front of the grille?

Brett and the Utah eWillys Bureau should be proud of this find. Check out the sort-of-custom body on this jeep. I’d like to check this out more closely to see exactly what’s left of the old body (if anything).
“1951 Willys Jeep. 283 V8 Chevy small block, 4 speed transmission with 33×12.50 tires. Custom built body, new corbeau seats with harnesses. Runs strong, new wiring, new gas tank. I never use it so it just sits in the garage. Time for it to go.”
Tim contacted me to note that he published more images about Willys and Fidel from Cuba on willysjeep.com. Here is a little history of Fidel and Willys along with a gallery of images. I previously published a post about Cuba here. Tim continues to publish some truly unique items!
Here’s a sneak peak of an ambulance. I haven’t come across too many later model Willys Ambulances.
Roberto Flores shared with us a recent commissioned drawing he did of a CJ-3A. As I told him, it’s always nice to see the details of a jeep drawn by someone who has worked on one. Below it is an image of Roberto and his project.
Mike has a NP435 tranny for sale for those near Illinois.

It’s pretty cool, and no doubt rare, but not sure it’s $2500 cool?

It’s not pretty, but looks complete and includes a plow and overdrive.
“I have a 59 jeep willys with a plow on the front. 4cyl 3spd manual trans with overdrive. everything works, starts and runs good. its ready to plow your driveway just in time for those heavy colorado spring time snows or its a prime candidate for a complete restore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
The truck looks stock and nice. What I’d really like to see is the canvas camper shell.
“Great working truck , comes with snow plow and canvas camper shell, good shape! Reply for more info.”
Here’s an old dependable that needs a new master cylinder.
“63 willys cj5 w/ 6ft power angle plow. 4cyl f-head, 3spd.shifts threw all gears.clutch sticks when it sits but free’s up. i have had it going 35 or so down my street. this has been my yard plow for the past 2 years and has never let me down starts everytime. right now it only has about a foot of exhaust but really isnt that loud, ok maybe it is. the last storm the master cylinder blew out, before that the brakes worked fine. i dont have any paper work for it but will give a bill of sale. there is rot and some hacking done on the body but over all not to bad off. could be a nice off road project.”

“This is a Collectors 1952 Willys Jeep M38A1 with a yellow paint job that is a year old.

One vehicle I wanted to highlight from the Wonderful World of Willys Wagons was Charley Crossley’s Wild Willys. I tried to located additional images of it, but the only ones I found were on the WWWW website. I liked Charley’s creativity, so I wanted to make sure readers saw it as well. You can read about Charley’s approach to building this Wagon here. Note the rumble seat in the back!
I don’t see this everyday. I’m not sure if the price is good or not.

This seller also has an M-38 and trailer for sale. This MB was previously listed as a 1942 MB.
“original WWII willys slatgrill jeep, original go devil flathead 4cyl converted to 12 volt. T84 trans works good, 4wd, works good, no leaks, all original condition,”
It looks like there’s been a patch along the driver’s side. Otherwise, this appears pretty stock. It’s not running.
“This antique classic Willys CJ3A Jeep’s frame and body are in good shape with little rust, has original motor and would be a great project. The heads have been machined for unleaded fuel. It has a clean Texas title. This Willys has been parked & garaged for several years and currently not running so will need to be trailered. Sorry, cash upon pick up only and without warranty.”
http://houston.craigslist.org/cto/1638023058.html
Here’s a pretty stock M-38; but, it needs some lovin.
“
This jeep is the real thing. It was going to be a project vehicle, but we are moving this summer and now it must go. We were told it was running and the gearbox works good. The starter drags and will not turn over the engine fast enough to start. We haven’t worked on it at all since we have had it, but the previous owner had it running and would be willing to speak to anyone who is interested.”
Here’s someone selling a variety of front ends.
