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 $13,850.
Appears in good shape. The rear bumper has been modified some. Contact with seller is made through the “Quick Quote” tab.

“1945 Ford Willy’s runs great but needs a clutch”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9950.
This has a body lift of two or three inches, so the body sits off of the frame quite a bit. It is most evident if you look at the photo of the jeep from the rear.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $19,500.
For the price it ought to have combat rims. The windshield has worn a spot on the cowl. Given the alternator, it seems to be 12 volt.
“All original, off the frame restoration. Very nice. Call for details.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Parts or project.

Jeep has been in New Mexico and Texas so no significant rustling of panels. A very original Jeep with very little modification.

This may be an M-38A1 body on a CJ-5 chassis.

(02/06/2018) Seller is feeling out the market, so not sure how serious.
“Just putting this out there. I don’t want to sell it for sure. 1953 Willys CJ-3B. The “ugly duckling” of CJ jeeps. Engine, transmission, frame, etc. all original. Original body minus the areas I patched for rust. Patches came from another 3B loaner body. Body and paint in good shape for saying I’m not a professional car guy. Engine has been rebuilt and bored .030 to fix a cracked block. One piston was sleeved. Too much to say about this rig. It’ll take you anywhere you want to go, as long as you’re not in a hurry.”
UPDATE: Still Available. Now listed at Warjeeps.com.
(03/04/2018) Seller notes this is a very early GPW. Appears to have a few mods.

More evidence that suggests the rumor of a Spokane Jeep dealer extending CJ-2As into “CJ-2Ls” was true. Thanks to Jay for spotting it. The hardtop has a Cab Enclosure data plate, suggesting that this top is a modified (hacked) version of that top.
https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeep-project-car/6515321431.html
“1948 Willys CJ-2A Jeep complete. This jeep is perfect for a full restoration project. Engine turns over freely, but does not start. Needs brakes. It has a hard top taken from a 1/4 ton truck welded to the body. Surface rust and some sheet metal rust out (see photos).
Started restoration, but stopped due to injury and now moving. Have all the parts removed plus new 50 Amp 12 volt alternator.”
I saw this one Facebook. I didn’t realize that the Sam Warner Military Museum in Tennessee had such an extensive collection of jeeps, including some airborne prototypes. I will make it a point to visit there during my May trip.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Nice half soft top.
“Nice shape excellent body no patch panels.This is a CJ3B with the high hood.Runs and drives fine,transmission is noisy in 3rd gear.No other issues.$7500.Also have a 1946 Bantam military trailer for $2000.Have clear NY registrations for both.”
Here’s another example of the Desert Explorer tires, which are very similar to the Desert Dog PCV tires.

This looks to be a CJ-3A with an M-38 body and front clip (except for grille).
“This CJ3A has been restored with a rebuilt engine and a new body, braking system, 12-volt electrical system, seats and soft top. In addition, five 6 x 16 inch unmounted wheels are included. It’s not perfect, but it runs well. I will consider reasonable offers.”
May be worth a look.

“Note: This Jeep does not have a title. It will be sold with a bill of sale only. Don’t read any further if you can’t deal with buying it on a bill of sale only. Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Offered is a completely rebuilt beautiful 1952 Willys M38 Army Jeep. Serial #64192.
This jeep was rescued from a farmer in Lafayette, NJ in 2014. It underwent a frame off restoration. I’ve owned over thirty jeeps and have restored approx. 20 of them and have sold them successfully on e-Bay. This Jeep had an excellent 1952 M38 frame and drive train minus the engine. I added a civilian CJ3A engine outfitted to look like an MC engine that was professionally rebuilt by Sigafoos Machine Shop in Easton, PA.

There must be a story here with this one. This jeep looks like it was rattle-canned hastily (and perhaps there was a deal on white paint that day, too).
