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 $3000.

“1964 cj2a Jeep excellent shape needs hoses and a little wiring project great bones they go for 93,000 finished so I don’t think three grand is out of line great project for a Jeep lover open to trades”
I had planned to do more updates last night but time got away from me. So, I’ll try to do some later today at some point.
Today, phase one of Ann’s garden is finally complete. I had hoped to have it done by Mother’s Day, but I missed that target date by three weeks. The biggest hurdle was that I had some mystery health issue with fatigue, uneasiness, sleep issues, and tightness in my chest (I really thought I might have a heart issue), yet I never felt sick or had a temp. I had attributed it to accidentally handling some strong fertilizer with my hands. However, over the last three days (which was a day after I went to see the doctor .. and he indicated he thought my heart was fine) everything has dissipated. Unfortunately, today Ann seems to have come down with what I had. So maybe it was type of illness after all??
Anyhow, I can now turn my attention back to the racer, finally. I have an extremely happy wife, which was worth all the work.
As a reminder, here’s what the area looked like when we first bought the place in April of 2021.
In Feb of 2022 we had the willows removed. Then I began tearing stuff down.
One year later, we have the following … And here we have a short video (yes, I do mention horses mooing and I accidentally call a rail a railroad tie … ) 😄

This appears in great shape, though has some updated seats.

Thanks to Roger for spotting this one. Given the PTO, I suspect there is value here. This is an early one.

“Cool project Willy’s Jeep Forward Control 150. Not totally sure on year but tag marked Willy’s. This FC150 has been sitting for some years but ran when it was parked. Does not run now. Wench has been used recently. No title. Says La Selva Beach on each side of the cab. Price is firm, no trades.”
Ashley is selling her father’s M-38A1 project.
“1954 Willys M38A1 Military Jeep – Quarter Ton – 4X4 – Order Stock No. G-2758-8358319 – MFG by Willys Motors Inc Toledo – Mfr Ser No. 73000 – 32,290 miles – $7,500.00 or best offer – FRANKENMUTH, MI 48734
Possibly the most iconic military Jeep vehicle with a 19-year tour of duty that spanned the globe. First “round-fender” Jeep 4×4. Forerunner to the classic CJ-5. Over 101,000 vehicles were produced during it’s production run.
Currently not running. Needs some work, but the condition can be classified as 4 – Good. My Dad planned on converting from 24 volts to 12. This Willy will need a 12-volt civilian starter, distributor & ignition coil. Front left tire is dry-rotted & doesn’t hold air for long. The engine does still turn over by manually turning the fan.
Dark Wine/Cranberry in Color. Solid body. The location of the private property where this Willy cruised has been edited out of the hood decal with black marker for photos.
Vehicle MUST be inspected IN PERSON if interested. Delivery is NOT available. No Cashier’s Checks.”
The Willys Rally kicked off yesterday with beautiful, but hot weather, or so I am told. Tom sent me a some pics, followed by Roger Martin, who wore out his camera taking pics, so thanks to you both! So, there’s lots to look at. One highlight captured by both kind gentleman included a four-seat empire tractor, which looks really well done.
Looks nice. Engine compartment paint needs some work.

“Selling for a friend. This is a beautiful cherry red 1947 Willys CJ2A that’s an older restoration. It runs, drives, stops, and has a clear title. I highly recommend watching the YouTube video about this Jeep titled “Buying a Barn Find Jeep & Making it Run Again” under channel name Turn N Burn for detailed information about this Jeep. Service completed in 2022: -All new brake components -Repacked wheel bearings -New water pump -New fuel pump and lines -New 8V battery which is running the factory 6V system -Misc oil seals replaced -New radiator hoses and thermostat The body restoration wasn’t completed to exact factory condition, but the Jeep overall looks great. I would recommend some tlc by making the headlights work, rebleeding the brakes, and removing play from the steering. However, it is ready to enjoy for the season.”
Has some sears branded hubs. Could be worth a look.

For months we wondered if our three breeding cows were pregnant. We were sure about one, but not about the other two. Then, on Wednesday, within the span of 12 hours, all three gave birth to female calves. While we would have preferred steers (for meat), we are well set up with breeding cows for the upcoming years.
Updates delayed until Sat morning.
