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 .

– “F” Head 90 hp motor

(04/03/2015) It’s a Texas-like hunting jeep.
“Very solid ,clean, and good running Willys jeep. All original except seats. Back seat is quickly removable.”
Seller lists as a 1950 CJ-2A, but obviously one of those facts is incorrect.

This jeep is more reliable than my daily driver; I really don’t want to let it go and know I will regret it when it’s gone so come get it before I change my mind. ”

(07/26/2014) Needs brake maintenance.
“I’m selling my 1947 Willy’s Jeep that is dressed up like an Army Jeep. This thing looks cool! I bought it from a guy last fall with the intention of using it for advertising, but I have to many cars again. The previous owner said that he pulled everything apart and rebuilt the engine, tranny, t-case, axles, and the body, then put her all back together and painted her army green. I added the stars and US markings just to dress it up a little. It needs the brakes serviced and bled, some seat covers, and a windshield. Personally, I would sell the M38 windshield frame and buy an old split windshield frame instead, but you can decide what you would like to do. As always, I am interested in trades. I love guns and military stuff, but am open to anything. I like old sports cars and muscle cars too.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.

“Just a cool old ride fresh green paint with all the extras 4 cylinder runs good drives like a 1946 army jeep the price is very fair for this ride leaves room for you to add your own personal touch needs seat cushions and top or just throw a couple lawn chair cushions in it and go not selling as true army jeep cause thats a hard thing to determine but its a 46 willy jeep clean clear title”

This militarized CJ-3A looks solid.
“I am offering up for sale my 1949 Willys CJ-3A Jeep. I have owned this Jeep since 1995 after searching for years for a solid flat-fender. It was originally a Fire Jeep from New Jersey where it was used for fighting brush fires. It had always been garaged and was rust free. It has 48,000 original miles. When I acquired it, the owner had painted over the original red paint with an amateur camo pattern, so I decided to do it up as an M38 in WW2 OD. It has always run like a swiss watch. Sheet metal is all original and it is still 6-volt. I installed lock-out hubs, but have the originals. It is a very early CJ-3A, as it has the Dana 41 rear axle, and the windshield is dated Dec. 48. If you are looking for a nice original solid flat-fender, this is it! This is no cobbled-up rust-bucket resurrection like most you see for sale. I have a spare transmission/transfer case and front & rear differentials from a 1952 M38A1, all excellent, which I will include. I dearly hate to part with this Jeep, but we are moving and I will not have storage for it. This is an outstanding early Jeep and a rare opportunity. The CJ-3A is the rarest early model Jeep with only about 100,000 ever made. I will not entertain any low-ball offers, so please don’t waste your time or mine.”
UPDATE:**Status Unknown** Was $3500
(07/26/2014) Looks solid and a good price.

Tons of extra parts including stock CJ grille and headlights. Runs, drives, steers stops great! Flathead 4 cylinder. 3 speed manual trans. 4WD works great with lockout hubs. No rear seat. Includes spare and gas can too. Military NDT style tires. Over $4000 invested. Carburetor just rebuilt. New gas tank. Tie rods just rebuilt. Trans and transfer case recently rebuilt. Clear Iowa title. Fully licensed and street legal. Serious inquiries only. Must sell. No low-ball offers please.”
UPDATE: Was $15,000. **Status Unknown**
This militarized CJ-2A looks solid.
“I had long wanted a Jeep MB like the one I used during the Korean war. I have restored several vehicles through the years and in 1994 I began searching for a Jeep to restore. Turns out these Jeeps are quite rare, and even those few I found were never exactly equipped like that Jeep.
At that point I decided the only way to duplicate that Jeep was to build one. I started with two parts Jeeps (a non-titled 1945 and a titled 1946) and went about testing the condition of components, disassembling the parts, cleaning and painting and listing those items I still needed. All original Willy’s engine and running gear are retained. The bodies of my donor Jeeps were fairly rough and the decision was made to fit it with an exact duplicate, all steel reproduction Jeep MB body. It is absolutely rust free. This Jeep is Michigan titled as a 1946 Jeep.
