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 .
I managed to lose the original I had about the folks that own the rights to the IH Scout brand, which was interesting, but the nut of the article was about the revival of the “Scout” as an EV vehicle under the Volkswagen brand. Here’s an article that explains the EV company:

Scott forwarded this link to Sudest.com (in southern France). The company is offering new L-head blocks (likely from China) for sale. They are priced at 3995 Euro ($4310)

Tom spotted this deal. It has a rear PTO, so there’s value here.

“1950s jeep willys. This is an old barn find jeep (I believe it’s a cja2 could be totally wrong) my uncle has had it many years. It’s definitely a project. But with some love could make a fun toy. It does have the pto on the back. He doesn’t have the title to it. So you would have to do some paper work to get one”
There looks to be value here. No description provided.

This DJ-3A converted to 4WD looks like a good price. Tom spotted it.

“no rust hard top 4×4 works drives great brakes need attention ..engine has been overhauled..comp checks out on all cylinders new tires and yes it does have doors”
Maury shared this nice looking CJ-5 that is already at a $20,000 bid price with three days to go.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1978-jeep-cj-5-14/
“This 1978 Jeep CJ-5 was acquired by the seller in 2014 and subsequently fitted with a 258ci inline-six and refinished in red. Additional work is said to have included a rebuild of the three-speed manual transmission, an overhaul of the axle and transfer case components, and a refresh of the braking components. Additional equipment includes 15” wheels, 31” tires, front disc brakes, Bilstein shocks, front bucket seats trimmed in black cloth upholstery, three-point front seatbelts, and rear lap belts. This CJ-5 is now offered with parts receipts, an owner’s manual, and a clean Michigan title in the seller’s name.”
Bill spotted this refurbed jeep listed as a 1948 CJ-3A. It looks in good shape for the price. The engine has a 3A/M-38/DJ-3A oil filter holder, so either the year or the model is incorrect.

“This 1948 Jeep CJ 3A is an original with updates to the exterior and interior. The owner has had it for 5+ years. The vehicle is drivable and is not regularly driven.”
Unclear how much value is here. Seller is willing to ship if you pay shipping.

“This is a mixed lot of OEM & aftermarket Jeep parts for the Hurricane engine, CJ2A and CJ3B. There is some surface rust on some of it but everything looks to be usable. Some just need a little emery cloth cleaning up. The bell crank is the 3/4″turn down and costs $300 by itself, the install kit is there for it also. I didn’t unbox everything and I don’t know what everything is. There are small parts envelopes with little pieces that feel like roller bearings. There are Rod & Crank bearings, intake valve, wheel bearings, axle seals, 4 new wheel cylinders, multiple wheel and master cyl rebuild kits, all brake hoses and junction blocks, rebuild kits for the 3 different style of pivot eye bushings, distributor cap, rotors, piston pin clips, needle roller bearings, distributor and oil pump drive gears, voltage regulator, OEM temperature sender (I don’t believe is available anymore), headlight switches, carburetors, U bolts, and some vacuum switch thing. Selling as a package deal preferably. Firm on price.will ship at your cost.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,500. (new pics in the ad)
(01/07/2023) Looks like an older build with some classic updates.

“48 Willy’s Clean title Current reg 327 small block Chevy New wheels and tires Roll bar New full exhaust. Selling for my father, too tall to drive it comfortably. $12,500 Located in Calistoga ca”
One of these is listed as a 1941, but both look civilian to me. The blue jeep appears to be an ex racer.

“For sale 1941 Jeep and 1947 cj2a both Jeeps need work many pic of Jeep have Oregon titles for both Jeep will allso trade for newer Jeep can allso but a quad in the deal for right Jeep 2009 Polaris 500 4×4 don’t want to sell parts would like to sell as both at the same time”
Bill spotted this M-38A1 with a seemingly random price choice. There seems to be some potential here.

“M274 mechanical mule aircraft engine. This vehicle had 30 hours on it when I got it. Converted to electric start. I have two of these and only want to sell one”
Bill spotted this one. It appears to have a 1955 or 1956 CJ-5 chassis (reversed front springs and has a PTO bar setup in the back), but with an M-38A1 body (though the grille is CJ).

“M38A1 ✧ MILITARY ARMY JEEP ✧ GREAT FOR REPAIR OR RESTORATION ✧ NEEDS WORK. I don’t know much more, I think it’s a 1955”
It’s not clear to me whether this is a NOS engine or a rebuilt one.

“1943 Willys MB replacement motor never had oil. I have found all the parts for the military model, and it is complete including the starter.”
This is a mix of parts, including a DJ-3A body, a CJ-2A windshield and an M-38 grille. The chassis might be DJ-3A as well.

“Jeep Willis project that I just don’t have time for and need to make some room. 3,000 obo. Let me know if you have any questions”
UPDATE: Still Available.
Has a bunch of updates. It’s a VEC based on the serial number, though lacks most of the related features at this point.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1237435490201461/
“I have an 1947 Jeep Willy’s CJ2A All Steele original body. 11 inch brakes. 32 inch tires. 1959 283 Chevy motor. 4 speed Chevy muncy 465 p/u transmission. Has 8,00lb wench on front”
UPDATE: **Sold** was $5500. I initially thought this was a Scamp, but we have confirmation it is a VEEP.
(02/25/2023) Listed as a VEEP, I thought this was a SCAMP based on the front grille design with the recessed lights.

Somehow I hadn’t seen this combo of a jeep and space shuttle, with transport setup, from Buddy L. I found it for a good price on eBay. Ann will like the space shuttle.
This may be worth a look.
