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 .
The buy-it-now price is $2500. It appears to run. Looks like a great price.

“This 1952 Willys Jeep has benefitted from a complete restoration back to its factory specs including Army issue green paint and even the appropriate white lettering. It is powered by a torquey four cylinder engine, 4 speed transmission, full transfer case pushing the power to the robust 4X4 Willys axles.”
This appears pretty good, but someone has cut the edge of the entry to the driver’s side.

I’m pretty sure the truck bed has been recently painted from black to green, which helps this look better. It’s too bad the color doesn’t match the rest exactly (given the price).
“Jeep is the original American 4×4, and even decades ago, you can see that Willys was serious about going off-road. This ultra-nice 1961 Willys Jeep pickup an awesome do-anything machine, the Swiss Army knife of off-roaders, and a darned good-looking truck to boot!
Go ahead and try to find another one of these, let alone one this nice. Wait, let me make it easy for you—you won’t. Someone spent the long dollar to bring this one up to show standards, then filled it with comfort and convenience items to create a kind of resto-mod Jeep pickup. The angular sheetmetal, complete with that instantly-recognizable Jeep front end, is completely stock. Whatever this truck’s previous life might have been, it’s now in near show condition with panels that fit together better than new, paint that sparkles like the stuff you find on a new Lexus, and still carrying a big dose of practicality. The medium green paint works especially well with the reproduction Sinclair Gasoline decals on the doors (go ask your grandfather about it), and adds a sense of functionality. The surprisingly big bed has been covered in color-matched bedliner material, so it’s still up for the rough stuff, there are tubular bumpers fore and aft, and just enough chrome to remind you that this truck was built for civilians.
Originally, the interior in a Jeep like this was little more than a lightly upholstered bench and some basic controls, but during the restoration it got a full makeover. Today it offers a trick pleated look that’s totally custom but still looks right in the upright cab. Matching door panels were added to soften the interior a bit, and there are now carpets on the floor, not rubber mats. The original dash is painted to match the body, and the factory-issue gauges are still in the center, but they’re now flanked by a set of Auto Meter Phantom gauges, including a clock, and surprisingly, they look exactly right. There’s also an AM/FM/CD stereo hidden in the glove box with speakers neatly hidden, so you won’t even know it’s there until you hear it.
The engine is still a correct 226 inline-six, the powerplant of choice when reliability matters. Rebuilt and neatly detailed in original olive green, it starts quickly with a pleasant grumble, and idles smoother than you’d expect from a workhorse. Underneath, the chassis was completely restored and with only 98 miles on the restoration, it’s as clean as it’ll ever be. The transmission, transfer case, and both axles have been freshened, and all the lines and hoses are new, so you won’t have to worry about heading off the pavement. And simply nothing looks better on one of these old rigs than the original steel wheels with skinny 7.00-16 off-road tires.”
Even in Bellevue that’s a lot of money for a jeep.

“1951 Willys CJ3A (Jeep)
Complete frame up restoration. The body is all metal, not one bondo repair. All Original driveline with a 12v conversion. Runs between 10 and 30 psi hot and cold (see photo). Everything works, electrical, gauges, 4wd, etc. It is wired for turn signals, but turn signal hardware and bulbs are not installed. Beechwood canvas seats. Runs like it would have 60 years ago. It will go anywhere. It just won’t go anywhere fast. Add an overdrive if you want to go faster than 45 mph.
I kept it as original as I could. I only added a 1″ Superlift suspension lift and 1/2″ shackle lift as well as 31×9.50 Super Swampers, a CJ5 rollbar and a 12,000 lb electric winch.
Titled and Registered in my name (Tennessee).
$8500 OBO. May be interested in trades: 1928-1953 Fords with flathead V8, early ford parts, or maybe a solid CJ5, 7 or 8. But I won’t be adding any cash, straight up or your trade plus cash.”

“Military collectors take a look at a original 1945 Willys Jeep that my family has owned for over 30 years. This is a original unaltered Jeep that has the manual trans and 4 cylinder engine. I have the title so it is street drivable. It has been sitting in a covered area for a couple years and was running about a year ago. This Jeep would make a great resto project and it would take very little to get it running again. Once again I do have a title for it. I am located in south Charlotte. Hate to sell it but I don’t have the time to restore it and I hate to see it sitting and not being used as it should be”

(07/31/2013) From the grille, to the body, to the rear shock mount, this looks more like a MB/GPW than a M-38.

“I am looking for a good home for a very nice stock 3A. I bought the jeep in 2006 and since then I have replaced a lot of parts to make the jeep a safe driver and reliable. The jeep IS NOT perfect, but is very solid and drives great. It is basically a bone stock jeep except the generator is a 12 volt not a 6 volt. I also have an extra body and windshield plus a bunch of extra parts that go with the jeep. In full disclosure the previous owner repaired the passenger side rear quarter panel. He did a decent job and it is structurally fine but it is definitely not perfect. I bought the extra body for the purpose of correcting what the previous owner did. If you are interested give me a call and we can talk jeeps and I can give you all the details hard core flat top lovers love to talk about.”
The seller notes their was a ‘certified’ appraisal for $16,000 before additional work was done. That seems a bit high to me.

(11/19/2012) This Jeepster has an unusual pattern or design on the door. Looks good otherwise.
“This is a great car, fun to drive and a real head turner. I purchased this last winter from a private seller in AZ who had been rebuilding it and he tried to keep it as original as possible. It was near finished and I added a few things to it. Here is a list.
New: top and side curtains, frame for top, gas tank and sending unit, exhaust pipe and muffler, fuel pump, turn signals, hub caps, seats covers, a new overdrive, chrome bumpers, headlight hoods, exhaust deflector, steering wheel with suicide knob, outside mirrors, dash nobs. The engine is a totally rebuilt 4 cyl. (lead-free gas) by a Jeep expert in Phoenix and it has a newer paint job with a few small road chips (see pictures) and almost all of the chrome is new and looks excellent. I had a slider built for the driver’s seat so it can be adjusted. It is a six volt system and has radial tires that are like new. It has always been garaged.”
The jeep appears to have a replacement body.

At a start price of M-38A1, this looks like a solid jeep.
“his jeep has a ford 302 mated to the original drive train which is a 3spd transmission with a twin stick transfer case and 5.38 positive tract differentials. it has good 31×10.5×15 tires and ford turbine wheels. we welded new sides on the jeep (14 gauge steel). it has fiberglass front fenders and a roll cage (full). the top is not in the best condition. the seats came out of a 66 mustang, i believe…. my whole family used to go trail riding and this was my grandfathers jeep, however we all quit going and he would like to sell it. so i offered to put it ebay for him. it was great on the trail by the way! it has been just setting around for 5 yrs or so and probably needs the average maintenance, (filters and fluid changed). it does start and runs though all the gears just fine. oh it also has a new gas tank in it and probably other things that im forgetting. any questions shoot me and email, thanks
pick up only.”
