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: Price dropped to $800.
(10/30/09) No pics. It’s a project.
“1942 Jeep Willys Project includes V6 Chevy fuel injection, body, frame, tranmission, transfer case, new Rancho springs. Will haul locally. $850.00 OBO, Call 360.692.5757”
A reader emailed these pics today. There’s a variety of creative ideas on a jeep that’s been thoroughly rebuilt. My personal favorite is the spring plate solution, seen on this first pic. I’m going to make me some of those spring plates this winter. Also note some of the storage solutions as well. Thanks for sharing pics of Red Dog!
“Just thought I’d ad my 3a to the many great ides on your site. Mine is a ’50 3a body and frame with a 225, t90, d18, D30 and D44. Everything is modified.”
UPDATE: Bob also snapped a picture at Phil Nelson’s Place in Columbiana. You can see it below.
I’ve never been there, but these are some great pics of the place from Gerald.
“A small display outside of Phil Nelson’s place in Columbiana Ohio. It is truely a treasure.”
Speaking of Bob, he has created a calendar he calls Broken Down Heroes. You can see some of his images here http://www.ewillys.com/?p=14615 and more here. You can get the calendar from a variety of sources, including Calendar.com.
The images span a range of vehicles likely trapped in their final resting place. Of course, there are a few jeeps sprinkled about his photographs.
It’s been modified some and beat up some as well.

It’s missing the lights upfront. It looks complete and original.
“1953 M38A1 4×4 jeep. Runs and drives. Rebuilt transmition and transfer case, 24 volt ignition system. This jeep is mostly original and would make a good restoration project as it has all original components in good shape with a solid frame and very restorable body. All parts for restoration are still available for this jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This is non running, but loks in solid condition on the outside.
“Ive owned this Willys for 15 years. Its not been driven and in storage for the last 10 years. From South Dakota. Has some rust . but not like most of these you see. Not modified, Orig flat 6 motor. Complete, everythings there, Will need some work to get it back on the road due to long term storage, Motors not locked up, but brakes are from sitting.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Yeah, it needs some work, but it’s got a nice, old look about it.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $500 — I love this one.
(08/30/09) What’s this chain drive? There’s no transfercase. I’ve not seen anything like it.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Fold down windshield frame (Has Willys Script) . Has a chain drive set up on transmission. Full time 4 wheel drive. 16″ Wheels. Has custom foolproof brake setup on transmission, instead of on the wheels. Has a rebuilt 1978 Ford 2.3L 4cylander. I dont think it has been fired since rebuild becuase it has no spark. I Believe it needs a new distributer. Has VW radiator with electric fan. Nice swivel bucket seats. Tub is solid. Everything has been reinforced. I bought this from an old master mechanic that did alot of work to it, and then it sat in his garage for many years, without ever being run. No paperwork. DOES NOT RUN! A GREAT PROJECT OR ALOT OF GOOD PARTS!! Needs to be finshed, i have too many other projects. It would be a great hunting rig when running. Better/ Stronger than a fourwheeler, and still small enough to fit on trails. $500 FIRM. No Tire Kickers. Call 882-1505 if intrested”

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Why buy a gpw, mb or an m38 when your next restoration could be one of the rarest military jeep vehicles that exist. the m677 series jeep was ordered by the navy and marine corp in 1964. there were originally only about 300 ordered. there is now only about 30 or so that exist. of that 30 some are only rusty hulks found in fields by the people who have enough love for the jeep fc that they got out of their car took pictures and recorded the serial number. this auction represents a once in a life time chance to add this truly rare military to jeep your collection. i have seen on some military vehicle blogs that some people have been looking for 10 to 20 years for one of these. ok the truck.. first the body is rust free.”
Quinn sent me some pics and information about his very nice M-38 build. Thanks for sharing!
A Buick V-6 225 bored 30 over powers this 1950 M-38 and is fed by an Edelbrock 500 cfm carb. The drive train includes a T-90, Dana 18 and Warn Overdrive. The front (Dana 25 or 27) and rear Dana 44 are slowed down with 11″ x 2″ drums possibly from a Willys wagon or truck.

Here’s the back end of another Tender spotted by the sharp-eyed Israeli bureau. I don’t know anything specifically about this Truck. The image was posted on the Jalopy Journal (entry #39) along with some Jeep Rod pics.
The engine looks good.

This looks like a good price.
“1943 Willys Military Jeep. Flat head four motor, t-14 trany. Trany out but complete, extra transfer case. $1500.00 obo.”
This might be a good deal. It looks clean and straight.
“Body is in great shape, 3 speed with Ford Pinto engine. It is now a project vehicle, mid project. It ran several years ago and should not need much to run again. Includes the soft top and doors. After a false start it is now back on the market. Higher resolutions of these pictures available upon request. ”

I haven’t seen many dually CJ-5s.
“1969 CJ-5 Jeep Dually, 4cyl, 3sp unit with a dana 70 rearend. Jeep originally had a trencher unit mounted to it. The trencher is long gone, sorry. Jeep has low mileage and runs well. New rebuilt carb, recent tires, new battery, new brakes (currently a little spongy, will bleed before auctins end), heater(aftermarket), wiring harness (painless), etc. Not perfect, but a nice driver or property/Town vehicle. It has a clear VT registration and has been on the road recently. Body in very good condition, some small dents, coarse body work and paint. Frame is straight and clean and retains its full side plate reinforcements from the trencher. Drivetrain all sounds and looks good with a few leaks. Motor runs well, but smokes on start up and a little bit when running …”
UPDATE: **SOLD for $7400**
Looks great!
“1954 M38A1 military jeep. Restored completely! It has a rebuilt 4 cyl. engine, new t-90 tranny. Runs excellent. Perfect body, paint, and extras! Military US Army markings. Clear Ca. title. Good tires. Canvas Top. 2 front seats with new canvas. Parade ready!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The GPW looks in the best condition, followed by the M-38 (incorrectly listed as a CJ-3A) and then the CJ-3A.
“I am selling my hobby because of a line of duty accident that has left me with no other option. these jeeps were bought at an estate auction and they only have a bill of sale, because they have always been government owned before the last owner. The CJ3A was started on a off frame overhaul and the body was set back on to sell. The GPW is as I purchased it they both ran and drove off the trailer. the last one is just parts. thank you for your interest, this pains me to do this but I have no other choice.”
This might be an interesting project for the right person.

The price appears to be a little high, but this has got a nice raw feel to it.
