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 $650.
Appears to need some glass
“Cj2a Willys Jeep hardtop talk about rare to find 650 or best offer. Also willing to trade for M37. Dodge Power Wagon parts”
It looks like this might fit a CJ-3B.

“This topper came off a 1940’s or 1950’s Willys Jeep. We don’t have the windshield glass. We are asking $500 or trade.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2500.
(11/29/2018) This oddity reminded me of the Willys Sportif prototype (seen at bottom).
Photo before paint:
“This is a Rat Rod, bucket, vintage, or What every you want to call it, this is what it is.
This is a one of a kind never will you see this again.
It was built in 86 so I am to believe but I think it was built earlier as it appears to have pre- mig welder welds that look cool.
This was a full custom job when it was done and someone left it for dead.
This is a 41 Willy’s chassis.
(Registered as a 41) Continue reading
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $3500.
(05/14/2019) Has no parking lights and lacks “Willys” on the hood, so this could be a mix of parts.
“In good condition for its age. Runs and drives, has tow bar, need new wire to connect headlights. Have heater for it, not installed. Have spare windshield and hard doors. Only selling to buy reliable vehicle for work. 4wd works great, has a lot of torqu”
Doesn’t run.

Here’s a collection of ads published in the Saturday Evening Post between 1950 and 1951. This will prove useful as you read through the post underneath this one.
This introduction to the Jeepster book is curious for its lack of any ‘Jeep’ branding. I’m guessing this booklet was produced in 1948?
UPDATE: The Rally is this weekend. I hope everyone has a great time!
This year’s Willys Rally occurs late this month May 24th-27th in Moab, Utah. Roberto Flores produced another great bit of artwork for the event. T-shirts with this design are available for purchase.
UPDATE: Sold. Was $675.
That’s to Steve for reminding me to post these Rapport dual wheel adapters. I’d forgotten.
“Dual wheel hubs for cj2a – 3a – 3b Willys Jeep. Comes complete with 1 set of right hand studs and 1 set of left hand studs. There are 2 chips out of the flange on one of the hubs but they do not interfere with its work ability( see the photo). Shipping will be the actual cost of shipping a 47# box to you location. If you have any questions text me a name and phone number and I will get back to you as quick as possible”

These are even harder to find than the M-677s.
“Up for auction are Two EXTREMELY RARE original Kaiser JEEP M-676s (Military version of the Jeep FC-170) built only one year for the Marine Corp and delivered in 1964. These are becoming harder and harder to find because only about 65 were estimated to have been built.
The first M676 ( Red ) Is a complete survivor and mostly original except for being painted red many year ago ,the red is starting to peel off which exposes the original Marine Corp olive drab green under the red. It also has the military wooden bench seats in the back of the bed, the wood will need to be replaced. The Cerlist diesel engine is stuck causing the vehicle to be in a non-running condition at this time I do not know any history of it. It will need the cab corners and wiring repaired or replaced also has side windows cracked, there are only one set of front seats frames available and will need be reupholstered. As any restoration project goes it takes time to complete. It comes with a clear title and military tags. I do not have the time or resources to finish this rare and really cool piece of Marine Corp History.
The Second M676 (Brown) is the parts truck which is only has the cab, frame, front and rear differentials. The cab and doors are in really great shape, unfortunately the back of the cab was cut and the windshield is smashed, and it is also missing the Cerlist engine and transmission/transfer case and other parts. It does not have a title or military tags since it is the parts truck.”
This might be worth a look.

“If you are looking for a great project, look no further.
The Jeep runs and drives. All wheel cylinders and master cylinder have been rebuilt. New clutch/brake pivot bracket. The engine/ignition system is completely converted to 12 Volt. Front wheel bearings and hubs have been cleaned and packed with new grease, CUTLASS hubs.”
Some better pics would be great. Appears M-38ish.

“Clone not original good condition”
Has an MB/GPW head.

“$1,100 OBO!!! This is what know about this cool little Jeep. It has the flathead 4 cylinder engine in it still. It will turn over with battery or by hand, but I have never tried to get it started. Come with spare tire, extra hood, and a new tailgate. I got this as a little project and never really got around to it. Now my wife and I are have our first baby. So just need to sell it. I’m asking what I’m into it, minus some time and money from driving back from Colorado to pick it up. Call or text with any questions.”
No pics provided. Might be something or might not be.

I have too many projects so this one must go . $8000 or best offer”
The perfect spring weather here in Pasco meant Ann wanted to tackle the yard, which, being the supportive husband I am, means I too spent time in the yard. Then, when evening arrived, there was the final Games of Thrones to watch (yeah, we got hooked on that).
I’m hoping by Tuesday morning to have a post about the Willys Make Sense campaign. I’ve documented fourteen different ads used in 1950 and 1951, plus a variety of other documents that demonstrated how Willys-Overland attempted to change their branding and image both with consumers and with dealers.
Below: Ann built this manifold for distributing water for all her plants. I’m adding some finish work to the post upon which the manifold will hang.
We brought in 2+ yards of gravel. Half of the gravel has been distributed around the pond.
The other half will go along the beds next to the fence. 
Cool postcard. Too bad the jeep isn’t more accurate. This is a tribute to artist Rudy Wendelin.

“This is an all original Willys that was meticulously restored over the course of 2 years by myself. It was a frame off restoration down to every last nut and bolt. There is no bondo or fiberglass or rust on this baby. Everything works perfectly as it was originally designed to work and operate. The engine was completely rebuilt, the transfer case, the clutch all rebuilt. The electrical harness was replaced with a new exact duplicate. The exhaust is an exact duplicate of the original custom made in stainless steel.
The original carburetor was rebuilt and it starts on the coldest of winter days with the original 6 volt electrical system. The battery sits in its proper location in a case that looks like a vintage battery but actually contains a modern jell cell battery; one of the only minor alterations to the original. The battery has a turn disconnect on the cable so that when not in use I leave it hooked up to a 6 volt drip charge. Gas tank new, brakes rebuilt, E-brake works, knuckles rebuilt; front and rear bumpers attached with proper original rivets. I did not replace the original windshield but chose to re-install it after the paint.
Might be some value here.

“Solid body. No rust. Good frame and running gear. Very restorable. ”
