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 .
Note that the seller lives in Washington, but the wagon plates are from Oregon (it might still be registered in Oregon?). The wagon appears in good condition. The email address is a little odd as well.

The coffee has been cleaned off of the hood and this has been sold. I’m just showing it for kicks. You can see the early pics (and mouse) here and the coffee here.
“All original everything, needs a complete restoration. Has a very straight body, I just pulled it out of a local farm where it sat unused for the past 30+ years. No title, bill of sale only, if you need a title I am happy to show you how to get one, is simple, cheap, takes maybe 2 weeks, have done it many times. I can help with local transport on my flatbed or farther for the cost of fuel. No scammers, lowballers or BS, thanks and have a great day. Jim”
Here’s a couple pics from Gerald of a Zooped up F-Head. Gerald writes, “Here are pictures of a hot rod f-Head. This is in a tube frame racer at Lisbon in 02. Not the kind of motor you see spinning high rpms. From what little he would say it had a dry sump oil system, a block girdle, “modified” head, custom fabbed intake, electronic ignition, etc. It may have had nitrous as well nut not sure. That hood was open in public for less than 5 minutes. He was not real talkative. But man that thing flew.”
I found a zooped up L-head article that I’ll feature tomorrow.
As mentioned, Crosley designed and built the Crosely Farm-O-Road and also provided plans to the Crofton Marine Engine Company, from which they built the Crofton Bug. Jim has a friend who has teh Farm-O-Road which he has shared with us below. Thanks Jim!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This might be an interesting find. Did the early M-38a1 come without a tailgate or is this a later model body?
“For sale is this 1952 Jeep Willy. Used in the winter months only…the rest of the time it was housed in the garage, Snow blade, Runs okay, Only minor rust, Enclosed roof/cap was installed, A lot of original parts”
Here’s a project.

“For sale is a 1941 Willys “slat grill” MB Army Jeep and a matching 1943 Bantam military trailer. Both are fully licensed and titled in the state of Wyoming.
The frame number on the jeep is MB108308, meaning that it was the 8308th production jeep delivered to the Army Quartermaster in WWII. There were more than half-a-million jeeps delivered to the military during WWII from Willys (the “MB”) and Ford (the “GPW”).
There is a weird screw-up on the body, in that early production jeeps featured a “script” from the manufacturer on the back. I purchased a reproduction rear body panel and, somehow, the Willys script was stamped on the wrong side. It’s an easy fix that anyone reasonably adept at welding can handle and I probably should have taken care of it by now, but I actually enjoyed leaving it that way, largely to drive the perfectionists crazy.”
This is a good looking CJ — must be those rims. Sounds like price is negotiable, partly due to a possibly bad bearing up front.
“1961 Jeep Willys CJ5 for sale. 221cu in V6. 4 speed Muncie transmission. Brand new Warn Overdrive. Low gears-great for off-roading. 4×4 works well. In 4×4 low you could get out and walk next to it. There is some noise from the front transmission bearing. Mechanic told me it’s about $500 to fix. I will take this in to consideration when negotiating price. Motor is strong. Speedo stopped working about 300 miles ago-cable broke. Comes with bikini top, half doors, full soft top, full soft doors. Has original bumper tow hitch and a Warn 1000 winch on the bumper. Tires are in good shape w/ spare on back. Carburator recently rebuilt. New radiator/thermostat/intake manifold gaskets/head gaskets. Just needs a little t.l.c. Make me an offer. Come test drive it. Jason”

It appears this has swivel seats? I’m not sure why this has the wide fenders on the back unless it’s got new running gear from some vehicle.
“This toy is in excellent condition and garage kept. Fully equipped with a Vortic V6 and dual exhaust
Not to mention this baby has new rims and tires. Way too much to list! For more info or to take a look, please call 602-810-6685. Sorry, emails will not be read.”

Here’s a wagon that looks nicely stock.
“Early production, 1947 Willys Wagon complete with 4-cyl Willys engine and 3-speed with overdrive. A rare find! The wagon is in good condition and runs! The interior is clean and complete down to the wood floor panels. A fun collectors vehicle! Many new parts including gas tank, radiator and brakes. $4,750 (or reasonable trade for ATV/Dirt Bike and 1/2 CASH).”
I’ve had the Willys MA Website as a “Link Worthy” Link for much of the year. I thought I had done a post on it (I’m still sure I have), but after searching for it to add it to the “Early Jeep” Section, I couldn’t find a post about it. Gavin has got a variety of MA & GPA Images and more.
I happened upon this photo while doing a google search for old rims. Here’s the link to the source.
UPDATE: Jim used to make these seat cushions, but no longer does. I’ve decided to keep these here just in case someone is looking for ideas for Seat Cushions.
UPDATE: Jim’s sharp eyes discovered this egregious attempt at illegally modifying the serial number of the data plate. He pointed out that there was an M38A1 data plate on the dash stamped as a CJ2A.

I’m not sure much will be salvagable off this.
