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 .

“fter much thought and prayer I’ve decided to put my Jeep up for sale.I’m the third owner and have known this Jeep since new.It belonged to my Uncle’s neighbor,he bought it new,he was old in the 70’s when I was kid.I lost track of it for a while, but it turned out didn’t go to far and i got to buy it. I’ve owned it fifteen years and had lots and lots of fun in it. Hunting trips,trips to Colorado 4 wheeling in the mountains in SE Ok. but I’m going to sell it and use the money for my buisness.This Jeep is mostly all original except for a new correct Carter YF carb,headlight switch,dimmer switch and a few things like that.Has a fairly new set of 700×15 mud and snows,probally not more than 3000 miles on them. Had just very,very little rust under the gas tank that was fixed when painted,been in Ok. all its life and kept inside a lot of the time. I put new brake shoes on it 4 or 5 years ago.I would not afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere,it has failed to start one time in fifteen years,I let the battery go dead.It has been dependable,dependable. Drive it as far as you can on a back road and shut it off,it will start when you get back. It roads out really well for an old Jeep it will run 55 down the highway pretty easy,I’ve took a lot of twenty five mile hi-way trips in it. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000!
(07/12/2012) Really Nice!
“Fully restored 1948 CJ2A Four Wheel Drive Willys Jeep.
Everything works and is in great condition, even has the original factory color!
This show Jeep is even an AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) 1st Place winner!!!
Originally the Jeep came from a country estate in Pennsylvania and it NEVER had any rust on the body!
My Father did a full body off restoration 4 years ago and it has been sitting in his clean, dry basement (he drained the gas) ever since.
As you can see from the picture the vehicle only has 27.5 miles since he finished restoring it… this has to be one of the nicest Jeeps in the entire country!!!”
Looks like a fine M-38.
“1952 Willy’s M-38 Army Jeep. 4 cylinder F-head 3-speed. 24-volt electrical system. Excellent shape, runs great. Full canvas soft top.”
http://washingtondc.craigslist.org/mld/cto/3152893104.html
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $4800.
(07/20/2012) Bob spotted this one. No obvious rust here. Looks like it has restoration potential.
“1947 WILLYS JEEP STATION WAGON FLAT HEAD 4 CYL 3 SPEED ON THE TREE WITH OVERDRIVE, 70K ACTUAL MILES. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION. THIS A TRUE SURVIVOR…RUNS GOOD WITH ALL NEW BRAKES, LINES, LININGS, ETC.

“Kaiser Willys 1955 CJ5. First year of the civilian CJ5’s, 215 V8 Buick motor with 2bbl carb, new battery this spring, 3 Spd tranny, Overdrive, front tow hitch, 60’s era bucket seats. Except for the motor and overdrive I believe this jeep to be fairly stock. I have some 31-10.50-15 tires on it with fair tread. Standard 9 in brakes so expect what you get for brakes with the 9″ drums and 1955 brakes designs. Runs and drives. Some rust peeking through paint with a split on top just behind hood. Bimini top and full soft top with two sets of doors. Soft top is fair. Keeps the weather out but rear window could be replaced as it is cracked. Asking $1800 cash and will only sell local. Can be used as is or would be a base for a builder if desired. My original desire was to build it up but just ended up using it stock for the past 8 or 9 years. Please respond to ad and I will get back with you. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
(12/18/2011) The paint is so new it hasn’t been washed yet.
“1950 willys jeep–brand new beautiful paint-never even been washed yet…302 ford small block–headers/flowmasters–4 barrel–top loader 4 speed– 4 wheel drive…dana 60 rearend…rack and pinion steering…all autometer gauges-all work great…33″ tires like new..new seat upholstery…tilt steering wheel…great for sand or mud or just cruising around.”
I don’t exactly know why this turned up in my search today, but what the heck. I’ll post anyway. It is supposed to be Jewel Stainless, too. At least one conversion calculator puts the price of this at around $2400.
“BEAUTIFUL FULL STAINLESS STEEL OWNER – STYLE JEEP; BRUSHED AND POLISHED STAINLESS; NOT A CAVITE JEEP THIS IS A JEWEL MANUFACTURED REPLICA OF THE WILLYS JEEP CJ2A; WITH A GASOLINE 2.O LITER REBUILT ENGINE AND FIVE SPEED TRANSMISSION IN EXCELLENT CONDITION…MANY NEW PARTS; BRAND NEW BATTERY RUNS GREAT; AMERICAN GOING BACK IN THE USA ; MUST SELL FAST.”

I thought this looked pretty good for only $2000.
“1959 Jeep Willy, army green, 69,658 original miles. New gas lines, new tank….Many extra parts — engine, doors, tires, gas tank, extra set of tires Must see to appreciate.”
This isn’t perfectly original, but looks like a solid little jeep.
“This is a restored authentic 1953 m38a1 willys 1/4 ton jeep. This model has a L head go devil engine that s running strong with an electronic ignition by pertronix. Transmission is. T-90 with the original Dana/ spicer d44 rear and d25 front axles. Most of the military bolt ons have been re-located an installed with original parts r new old stock. This isn’t perfect, it’s 1953, and it’s $5k. Perfect is $8-15k. Have all new bolt on engine parts. Frame was sealed when body was off with kbs coating frame paint. No rust on frame and all rust has been stopped, removed and repainted. Rocker panels and floor solid and floor was nearly all replaced. Has cj3a gas tank under seat which is clean and hooked up. Converted to 12 volt by p.o. And all lights and blinkers function making this a solid vehicle that can be registered. Waiting for the title to come back from SOS and will have any time now. Have an original 1953 Michigan plate that goes with it($30 value). Tire has tread but are checked and I havent gotten to replacing them. Driveable. I ought a new 7 x 15 spare which is closer to original size. Has cj5 15″ rims.
The hood numbers and unit markings are the original usmc badges I found as I sanded down the body.
I get a lot of heads turning when I take it out. It’s an awesome feeling having a jeep that no one around does. My neighbor has a 2012 rubicon $40k jeep and is jealous. It’s history and old=cool
I love this thing. I really wanted a cj2a but this project called my name. Willing to entertain cj2a, cj3a, cj3b trades plus cash or straight up if in good condition.”

Original hurricane engine. High/low transmission. 4 wheel drive.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
There some really nice aspects, but a couple puzzling restoration decisions such as the method for attaching the rear bow holders.
“Very nice original 1947 Willy’s Jeep that’s about 80% fully restored. This has been a five year restoration project using only original parts from Kaiser Willy’s Auto Supply. I have well over $10,000 in parts and materials alone. Life changes however are unfortunately forcing me to abandon this project of love. Briefly, the 6 volt electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts; gloss OD paint to emulate a Flag Officer’s Jeep; all new brake system; new glass, etc. The list goes on. Jeep runs well, fun to drive and display at car shows.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4800.

(07/10/2012) This has been owned by the family since new. No title. The wood under the wheels suggests this family had taken good care of this jeep.
“I have for sale a 1948 Willys jeep CJ2a. Jeep was running last summer. It will need a new water and fuel pump. Also will need a battery and the lighting wired.
