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 .

“This Jeep runs and drives well.We have it legal and ride it on roads some.Many new parts.Needs a little time and effort put into to make it new again.Great little project.”
The front frame rails suggest this might be a 3A chassis. It includes a new body.

The frame horns suggest this is a CJ-2A chassis topped with a DJ-3A body and hardtop.

“Willy’s jeep. Needs work. Lots of good parts. Have title.”
I accomplished a good deal of wiring yesterday, with more to do. We got a 7-day heatwave (+100 temps) coming in a couple of days, so I’m going to try to get as much done as I can before the shop is too warm.
I won this service station brochure off of ebay. I’d never seen another one. The folded brochure measures 11″x4.5″, then folds out to 22″x17″. The Form Number is SF-11-57-X.
Here’s the front of the unopened brochure.
Here is the back:
The brochure opens vertically first:
It then opens horizontally:
Part of the brochure then folds down to reveal this fully opened page: Continue reading
Blaine shared this link about an original Hamilton Air Force jeep up for auction on Bring-a-Trailer. It sold for $1200! I’ve added a video of it below.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/hamilton-steel-products-air-force-jeep-pedal-car/
The current price for this is $19.99. Some nice bit of art. It’s the first I’ve heard of the Pike’s Peak Jeep Posse.

“Vintage 1950’s Auburn Truck & Camper Set With Accessories. New in Box.”
Tim shared this pic on Facebook (not for sale). It shows a jeep with a DJ-3A body and, possibly, a CJ-5 hardtop, both with a custom extension, atop a four wheel drive chassis. He plans to talk to the owner to learn more about it.
It’s a great looking wagon!

“A VERY rare, complete 1967 Jeep “Jeepster” Commando, four wheel drive…even more rare by virtue of the intact factory convertible top, factory continental kit, and 3-speed automatic transmission. It has been speculated that this might be the last living example of this combination of “Jeepster”.
Overall in very good condition–body and chrome bumpers are dent free in excellent condition…all glass, including light lenses are intact…convertible top including rear window are intact…Michelin street tires are in good condition…all Jeep branding medallions are in place including on chrome hubcaps…all interior is in original and very good condition.

“Barris customs,2 Hobe surf boards,291 Chrysler hemi, automatic, removable top, 4whl disc brakes, mustang ll sub- frame, AM/FM/CD, freshly tuned & carb o/hauled. Runs rides & drives awesome”
This is a good price for how nice this jeep is. Thanks to Tom for sharing it. As of this writing the sale is pending. It has a problem continuing to run. There could be something in the gas tank (maybe some customer dropped something into the gas tank).

“Korean War 1952 Willys M38. Starts easy. Doesnt stay running, stalls. Maybe bad fuel pump. Vehicle is located inside retail store so its difficult to work on it without fuming up the whole place. All 24v components in place. Correct carb, fuel pump, distributor, voltage regulator, generator. Vehicle is clean, no mud, oil, grime underneath or on engine or transmission. Body is original, decent shape – a little beat up. Floor in back has rust holes, but is pretty solid. 30 cal is a replica made by Hoosier Hot Shot https://www.hoosierhotshot.com/ and is not included. Mount is negotiable. Indiana title numbers matching in my name is included. Vehicle will have to be disassambled to move from the retail store when a serious buyer is found. All the bolts holding it together are new and have never been in the weather. We should be able to do it in a day or so. We will do the dissassembly and reassembly. Buyer can help if they want.”
The front springs have been outboarded some and I imagine the rear springs have as well. Looks like it has been lengthened, too.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000. That seems a good price. Remember that to get to the island with a trailer is expensive.
(11/13/2022) Engine is currently out, but overall this looks in good condition.

It’s deep in the mountains of Colorado, but still may be worth a look for someone more local.

“Good old Jeep with a snow plow…runs and drives, brakes need bled, but still pump up. New carburetor, tires and fuel pump. Hard top, soft doors, spare rear sliding door and a set of spare windows for the hard top.”

This might be a late 1948, or early 1949 CJ-2A, as it has the current CJ-2A ignition hole on the dash, but lacks frame horns (possibly they were removed). You’ll note in the video that the oil filter was moved to the fender using the stock mount, which seems to work pretty well.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/448763574439100
“Runs and drives. Has alot of new parts already installed.”
Unclear how much value is here. Based on the grille, this is likely a late ’46 or early ’47.

“Up for sale a complete 4WD Willys Jeep without engine or title. Year unknown, but it is a 2A. Use it as parts or put an engine in it and drive it. Previous owner or owners put a 6-cylinder engine in it, fire wall is cut up. Great is you want to put a Chevy small block, now it has clearance for the distributor. Has all 4 original 16″ wheel, has the front seat frame (needs cousins). the 3 speed T90 and the Dana 18 transfer case is there. Like I said, complete less engine and title.
Perfect summer project, or a father son project. These Willys jeeps stopped production darn near 70 years ago. They don’t make them anymore, so maybe you should take this one home.”
UPDATE II: Am busy, so thought I’d rerun this video. All brackets finished for the eBrake and fuel pump. More wires wired. Solenoids purchased and ready to be installed with new wiring plan. Ann *should* be less busy this week, which will give me more time. Hard to believe we are at the half-way point for 2024!!!
====================
UPDATE from Dec 12, 2020: According to Jordi, this Spanish language news film describes a jeep race in Belgium.
No helmets, no safety equipment … craziness! This video from Europe shows some gutsy folks running WWII jeeps hard through the mud. (if the video embed doesn’t work, go here).
