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 .

Bill shared this M-38A1. It’s claimed the jeep only has less than 2500 miles. This does not appear to have the correct rear bumper for a USMC (see this pic that shows a USMC bumper: https://www.m38a1.com/images/models/USMC/USMC12.jpg)

“1952 M38A1 USMC Jeep. NEVER RESTORED. Originally headed for Korea but Marines cancelled so it was sold off the dock at Alameda. A coat of Forest Green paint was applied and it was sold to civilians. You can still see USMC and number under paint. Always stored indoors, never driven on dirt. Only 2438 original miles. All original including canvas and tires. Shovel has never shoveled dirt. 24-volt system. A few dings, as seen in the photos. Extra, new, transmission as well as river fording snorkel included. Runs great. Steering a little loose and brakes soft.”

“As pictured, likely the only one of its kind left, NOS straight from a Willys Jeep dealership parts inventory…
If you are doing a factory 100 point restoration, or if you just want to have a shortblock ready to go vs having to find and wait on a (more expensive) engine rebuild shop this is ready for you!
My dad and I bought this Willys Overland flat head, 4 cyl. Shortblock flathead engine years ago. It sure was an exciting find! It was still in its original factory crate which fell apart as we loaded it out of the dealership. (Somewhere I even have pictures of it the day we found it).
Fast forward years ahead, our 1946 CJ2A is a fine running Jeep and our other Jeeps use different engines. So, I either keep this as a spare, buy another Jeep project or find someone who can use this now. As a friend reminded me, I’ll be sorry to see this go as I’ll never find another brand new one again in my lifetime! I can load and deliver to new owner at the Ohio Jeep show coming up in mid May – Canton, Ohio.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5000. Seems like a great price. It’s been available for a while.
Has some body damage. Includes the plow.

“Purchased this Willys CJ-2A in 1978 and have plowed driveway snow with this incredibly reliable vehicle, with a 1977 Meyer 4-way plow, for 43 years. Some body damage left rear, some leaks- rear differential, transfer case, and transmission. Circulating water heater, new Firestone original style jeep tires, canvas/plastic doors, rebuilt starter, 1 yr old battery, newer chains for two tires, converted to 12V to accommodate Meyer plow”
It sounds like this hasn’t been driven in quite a while.

“1946 CJ2A * CJ3A windshield frame * The engine was supposedly rebuilt about 6 years ago with no receipts * It has not been driven as the previous owner had medical issues since the engine “rebuild” * The Willys runs and drives and stops * It has been in a garage sine the 90’s when it was bought by the previous owner * It does pop out of 2nd gear *
Transfer case shifts into 4WD low and high and drives without problem * Has been converted to 12V when the engine was “rebuilt” * Ammeter, oil pressure and water temperature are gauges that work * Emergency brake handle is included but is not connected * Tool box lid is included but hinge is not attached * Windshield wiper struggles, but does work * Head lights, parking lights, brake lights and turn signals all work * Funky tow bar is included * Spare tire (old and worn out) with wheel included * Fair amount of rust underneath and I will send more pictures if interested * Sold as is with no return * CASH ONLY * I do NOT need help selling this * This will be listed locally also and will be removed from this listing if sold * Clear title in hand”
This passenger side might have some rust, but still may be worth a look.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/11/2023) Seller indicates it only needs a fuel line. Other than that it is ready to run. I’m going to guess it needs more than just a fuel line.

Sometime in the 1950s Bob Meyer partnered with Lloyd Sehnert to form Mountain Safari, a guide company out of Walsenburg, Colorado, The pair took clients into the Sangre De Cristo’s in Southern Colorado.
According to Bob Meyer’s obituary, Bob “took his jeeps where no one had before, including the Walsenburg fair grounds where he had challenged local horsemen to a calf-roping competition wherein Bob had mounted a saddle to the hood of his jeep so he could freely swing his lariat and lasso the calf.”

This project or parts Jeepster was spotted by Bill.

“Up for auction is this 1949 Willys Overland Jeepster. Very solid sheet metal, I could only find two rust through spots on it, one behind drivers door and one on the left lower hood which I took pictures of. It has light surface rust that should sand off easy. The engine turns freely, trans shift through gears and it rolls very easy. It does steer too. Gauges busted out. Car is pretty complete. Hotrod, ratrod, or restore. The serial number indicated it is a VJ2 Jeepster that was built right around the cutoff date for 1948 models and the beginning date of Nov. 1, 1948 for the 1949 models. With the serial number tag under the edge of the dash,
We still have some work left to do, but we got a whole lot done. I was able to help Ann with a bunch of stuff and work on the jeep some. The new irrigation systems are up and running; the calves are dining on the neighbors grass (to help out the neighbor), and our front drive/parking lot (just over 10,000 sqft) has been filled and oiled heavily and looks way better.
Here’s a quick peak at the small gauge cluster setup. seats and top are up next, though it will probably be a couple days. I need to build some more boxes for Ann.
David Adams posted this oddity on Facebook. He was hoping to learn more about it. The jeep appears to be a CJ-3A that’s been modified for some purpose that’s not clear. The side looks kind of like a Willys Quad; was that a coincidence?
Here’s one of his posts (there were several posts and I got several IMs about it).
Joe Evans is offering up a kit to convert the standard CJ-3B windshield frame to a ventilating one. You can contact him through Facebook.
You may need to connect with him via the Willys Flat Fender Facebook Group (you may have to join to contact him): https://www.facebook.com/groups/117429165419787/permalink/1567767307052625/
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Good price, but the body may be a replacement body.
“Clean Willys, with no rust. Was running when we purchased it.”

The FC-170 appears to have been a dually.
“2 60s FC170 and 150 The 170 has a small block Chevy in it with the adapter. The 150 has stuck motor in it don’t know much about it. Serious inquiries only will not answer to is this still available.

No title. This might have a Hudson conversion, but can’t tell for sure.
