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: Still Available.
(05/02/2023) Narrow track chassis? Maybe someone can use it.

“COE Jeep. Forward Control. Similar to CJ5. 60s?”
John’s complete the build of a 1955 M-38A1 USAF. Looks well done!
“My 1955 M38A1 is finished.
I bought it in late 2021 and has Dave Arnold (the area’s leading MV guy) go over it.
It had recently had an engine rebuild, so it was just the usual stuff as well as all new seals, radiator and wiring harness.
Wanting seatbelts, I wanted something period correct, so I used aircraft seat belts like the motor pool could have gotten from base supply. They were reconditioned by an aircraft supply store.
I also got an orange/white “flightline flag”, that vehicles had to display back then. The holder used an existing hole. Finally, there is a decal on the dash explained the control tower traffic signals; back then they used a light gun in place of a radio.
The power plug is operational and I bought a slave cable that is compare with airplanes (today’s planes use the same 24v plug). So when I’m at the airport, I could jumpstart aircraft.
Lacking a hood number, I put it in USAF Markings and made it from Larson AFB (Moses Lake, WA), and my dad’s unit circa ’55-57…the
62nd Troop Carrier Wing. I was born at Larson a couple of weeks before the Jeep was built.
The current Hood number is, in AF style:
55 (year contracted for),
K (Military vehicle, General Purpose),
82551 (Willys serial).
The paint is the PPG formula, (I fixed test shots of the other two and This looked best). Growing up in AF based and spending 20 years in myself, I knew what looked correct to me.
Since gloss finish shows body issues, I had some minor bodywork and final paint done by a pro body guy.
When our purchased, it was straight (except the back panel was pushed in a bit from a backing accident…we straightened it, but most of the damage was covered by the spare tire) with no rust except in the fuel tank well.”
A different take on a mail-looking jeep. Thanks to Roger Martin for sharing it.

“Posting my running and driving 83 right hand drive postal jeep. Only selling to make more room in the garage. Jeep is not restored but does run and drive. Has bigger rims and tires. automatic transmission with the Chrysler 2.5L motor. All lights work. Headlights are out of 2017 jeep wrangler. Shoot cash or trade offers. thank for looking”
I’m guessing the seller means “rebuilt T-90 transmission”?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/4260865677471798
“1946 Willys CJ2A see photos, and recent work in listing. Comes with extra rebuilt T95 transmission, transfer case, new soft top and Goodyear Wranglers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
This includes a full Meyer hardtop.
“Military Jeep Project New front fenders & Windshield Frame Hard top with steel doors Does not run Have clean title”
Lots of work looks completed.

“1952 Willys M38A1 project for sale. I have lost steam; it hasn’t been touched for several years so time to move on. The vehicle is not currently running but everything you see on the vehicle has been restored or replaced. Primary tasks left: – radiator and cooling system – fuel system – all electrical – front seats Included in the sale is only what is shown in the pictures. – Everything currently attached to jeep. – hood and fenders are included and are fully restored. – front seat frames are included but not yet restored – radiator is included but not yet restored – rollbar is included – spare tire (not pictured) included and restored – canvas top (not pictured) is usable. No other parts are included. Some surface rust starting to work its way back on the frame and the body. The engine was rebuilt many years ago but I haven’t gotten around to starting it (electrical and cooling not yet completed). Only significant modification I can think of is that it has been converted from 24 volt to a 12 volt system. Has many of the fording kit components installed. Have title in my name. Have collector plates for the jeep so no more annual registration. Price is $7,000 firm.”
Tom shared this refurbed CJ-5 with a Kubota swap.

“1957 WILLYS The engine has been replaced with a Kubota V2203 40hp at 2800 3 speeds manual 4 wheel drive runs and drives . Bill of sale. May consider a trade. $15.000 Invested . No scammers or low ballers.”
Hard to find a postal-looking jeep at this price anymore.

“1978 dj5g postal delivery jeep Project jeep for sale. Motor will fire up if jumped. Everything’s there and this guy could be driving around town or plowing your drive way with little work.

I suspect this doesn’t run.

“Military mighty mite Jeep. Not sure on the year but should be early 60s. All aluminum body with air cooled V-4. Only 1,700 lbs. Would make a very cool restoration”
Andy spotted this deal. It’s listed at $100, but that seems awfully cheap.

“Rollng chassis, engine , complete nose in great shape , to many projects need gone , tires a little dry but hold air”
Listed as a 1950 CJ-3B, I’m guessing the chassis may have been a 3A.

“1950 CJ3B after market fiberglass body. Includes rear dana 44 and front Dana 30 wide track axles w/4:10 gears open diff.”

“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.

There may be some parts value here. It includes an F-head.

“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.

I assume it runs and drives?
