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 .
Dan spotted this truck. It appears in good shape.

The starting bid on this is $18,000. It is about 90% done according to the seller. The parts looks in good condition, but note the 2nd picture, which suggests the wires are running over the frame and, possibly, under the hat channel. I’m thinking this is a problem.

This looks nice, it’s cleaned and painted with some care. But . . . here’s my thing . . .I guess when someone describes a jeep as “museum quality” and “pristine condition” I have certain expectations (despite some of the poor museum jeeps we’ve documented herein). So, if his were my museum piece, the lettering would be different on the hood (not marked 52-m38A1), the engine parts would not be all painted like they are here, and the steering column wouldn’t be off color (unless that’s a color option I didn’t know about). It also appears this should have the hinged grille, but the hinges are missing.
” This Jeep is in pristine condition and has been restored to museum quality inside and out by the Armed Forces History Museum. It includes a non-functional removable 30 caliber machine gun.”

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.
“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”

It isn’t Willys, but it is a cool fire jeep.
“This is a very unique, 100% functional Fire Truck.The title reads as a 1994 Jeep Grass Fire Truck.The logos from the former Fire Dept is off, therefore you can put your own on it.All the lights & sirens work great!This is a rust free jeep.The entire under body and all the inside floors is rubber coated to prevent rust.This truck runs & drives like new,very nice jeep wrangler!This Fire Truck was well maintained and always kept indoors.
Due to it coming from the fire Dept. the title reads as rebuilt salvage because they rebuilt the Jeep into a Fire Truck.This truck was built heaver to hold the 100 + gallon water tank.This truck is a great investment to your Fire Dept or to you as a collector item,whatever you would like to use it as!

(10/21/2012) This is a nice looking, early M-38A1 with the hinged grille.
“1953 Jeep M38 A1 Military, Same as CJ5, engine, axles, wiring, paint and interior all rebuilt to original, Fun toy, 4-wheel drive,”
UPDATE: I got this confused with a 1942 GPW from Little Falls that was on eBay last week. My bad.
“For auction is a Willys jeep. This jeep started life as a CJ2A, but was totally redone about 6 years ago to be a WW2 MB. It has the MB2A complete body and grill. This was done over exactly like an MB. It has the Willys 4 cylinder engine, but does retain the T90 CJ transmission. It is currently set up with a 12 volt battery, but does have a 6 volt wiring harness so would be easy to convert back to 6 volt should you choose. Comes with the SCR-510 radio with antenna, and the gas operated .30 cal machine gun and mount. This gun does not fire real ammunition and cannot be made to fire ammunition. The ammo box in the bustle basket is for carrying the oxygen and propane to operate the gun. This is an older project so it is not in show room condition, but is a great jeep for a re-enactor or for driving in parades. It turns a lot of heads.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
“Willys Truck (1960) Sits on a shortened Ford F150 4×4 frame and running gear. Motor is machine shop rebuilt fuel injected 5 liter (302). Trans is Ford AOD rebuilt at Norcal trans. A few of the features are a shortened bed, Mazda pickup rear sliding window grafted in, 280ZX hood inserts, custom headlight housings, minivan back seat serves as the truck bench seat and more. There was a fair degree of customization to the truck, however the motor, except for a necessary .030 bore increase at the machine shop, and the tranny was kept as stock as possible for durability’s sake.
I finished the truck around 5 years ago. I never used it a lot, but 2 ½ years ago it began to sit while I looked for myself a house. Now I’m in my house and it’s parked in my garage going to waste. The truck runs and drives and 4wheels very well but it needs some of the aftermarket mistakes and design mistakes I made, corrected.
There is less than 13,000 miles on the rebuild. Nothing was wrong, I just found that I am more interested in building the stuff than using it.
The paint needs re-done. I cheeped out on the paint and it didn’t survive the snowy winter that it set out side while I finished my garage. It needs a window replaced, replacement aftermarket power windows installed (I have new replacements), and aftermarket windshield wiper motor replaced (I have the new replacement). This should be considered a project truck as it has things to fix. The pic was taken approx 4 years ago.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
