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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900
Looks nice.
“All original 1952 Willys M38A1 Military Jeep, restored, new correct tires, runs good. Very hard to find in this condition at this price, $8,900. Please only call or email and serious about owning a piece of military history.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(03/17/2012) This is a nice looking CJ-2A, though not 100% accurate.

UPDATE: Paul just forwarded me a new video of his nicely modified flattie. He first sent me pictures of his jeep back in 2008. Below is the original post.

Published November 14th, 2008
Paul wrote to me the other day, professing he’s stricken with the dreaded flatfender disease. I told him to take two pills and send me more pics in the morning. Fortunately for all of us, he followed my advice and has sent me a variety of images of his labor of love for the past 3 decades.
Back in August of 1979, he innocently purchased a 1944 MB for only $800. It was pretty much all original, worn out, but in running condition.
It didn’t take long for Paul to decide to make a few upgrades, changing the engine to a V-6, purchasing a new body, and more. Then, at some point he decided the drive train needed updating, the tranny and transfercase should be swapped out, a bigger engine was needed, and the dreaded flatfender sickness had overtaken Paul.
The good news is that I believe the sickness has run it’s course, as he’s ended up with a beautiful jeep that will serve him well for years to come. Also, fortunately for Paul, he seems to encountered a disciplined form of the illness, as I don’t see 7 or 8 other flatfenders in various stages of disrepair out on the lawn :-).
You can view some additional pics of the tilting hood in this post.
Here are the specs:
Body: Acme all steel, replaced in 1980
Tilt front end: all steel, tilts on a roll cage fabricated from ½” pipe
Frame: From a 2 wheel drive Jeep Dispatcher. Frame is boxed, has dual shock mounts up front. This is a much stronger frame than the original.
Roll cage: custom made, mounts to frame in 6 places. Seats mount to cage along with spare tire.
Engine: I started with the original 4 cylinder flat head, then an odd fire 225 V6, finally the Chevy V8Chevy 350, 4 bolt main, bored .030 to make 355 cubic inches. Has all Eldelbrock aftermarket equipment including internals, aluminum heads and intake, along withdual quad carbs. The combination of 400 horsepower, short headers, and small glass pack mufflers, makes the thing sounds like a demon.
Transmission: Turbo 350 with B&M shift kit and converter
Transfer Case: Dana 20, Novak brand adapter
Differentials: Early 70’s Jeep, 3:73 gears.
Steering: Chevy column out of a Chevy Caprice along with Chevy manual box. The crazy thing is that the two bolt hole spacing that held the column in the Chevy was the exact spacing needed in the Willys
Brakes: Chevy master cylinder along with swing pedal (out of a Chevy Vega), has updated 11” drums along with emergency brakes.
Seats: The tilt column makes it easier to get into the high sided bucket seats. I lowered the seats down about 4″, and about 4″ to the rear by notching the body without making it look too butchered.
Some pics of the build process:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600.
(02/29/2012) This appears worth a look.

“Have a 1947 Willys CJ2A up for grabs. It’s a bit of a project, but a LOT better than some of these you find.
First off, the carburetor is fouled up so it will not start. It cranks find, but will not fire. If this is an issue, close the ad.
Buick 350 V8
Heavy Duty Automatic Transmission
Twin Stick Transfer Case
Upgraded Axles with electronic lockers(price the eaton e-locker) Rear is a D44 or D60, not sure which. Previous Owner said 60. Not sure of the front.
Upgraded to Front Discs
Basic Rollcage
Seats have been modified for larger drivers
Dual Gas tanks
Warn 8000lb Winch
Almost brand new 33″ Pro Comp tires + Spare with nubs still on it
6″ Black Diamond Lift
Manual Steering
Brand new battery.
All lights work, if running should pass inspection. No emissions!
This Jeep needs finishing, but not a ton. The body is straight, with only surface rust in a few places. Mostly chrome trim.
The Lockers, Winch, and tires are worth most of my asking price.
Very much interested in trades for more modern Jeeps(cherokee, cj5, cj7, yj, etc). Or cash in hand. Serious buyers can get my phone number via email.
I will be 100% upfront on this to the best of my abilities. Feel free to ask any questions, make an offer, etc.
I am not forced to sell this, just want to fund other projects.”

This looks like a great summer cruiser.
“2 Door Convertible Roadster Phaeton Jeepster.
This is an “ALL STEEL” vehicle. No fiberglass or body filler. It is also a “Rust Free” vehicle with no body or floor panel repairs/replacements. The custom body work and paint job was professionally done in California before the current owner purchased the vehicle. Most likely around 8-10 years ago. The paint is holding up very well. There are no problems with chipping, cracking, fading, checking, fish eyes or orange peel. True show quality paint job. This all steel two door/convertible body is fairly stock. There are a few unique modifications that were done to the original body. The stock flat front ’48 hood and grille were replaced with more desirable, better looking ’50 setup. The hood then had “Louvers” cut into it. A custom front splash shield was also fabricated. The front turn signals lights where relocated into the grille area to help keep the front end clean looking. The rear portion of the vehicle received custom tail lights that were set and fitted into the body. The rear wheel fender skirts were welded in place. (Again, all steel body work.) It has smooth body lines with the front and rear bumpers removed. The two-tone color scheme was influenced by the gorgeous 1950’s Ford vehicles which use these colors. The ’57 peach color is called “Sunset Coral”. With a color as nice as this, A nickname was given to the vehicle. “Just Peachy” which is hand painted on the rear. The side metallic candy stripes are also outlined with a hand painted pin stripe which really makes the whole vehicle stand out. (much more about this on eBay)

This looks like a solid little jeep.

Here’s a 1957 fire truck from Norway that is still in great shape. This jeep is located in the far north of Norway.

“I have a mostly restored 1959 CJ5 for sale. I got to 95 percent complete with a total rebuild and was transferred overseas. I bought it as a 1963 model in 2003, but research on the matching ID tag, block, and frame serial numbers puts it in October of 1959. This Willys is mostly original with some upgrades, with no rust. F134 engine plus T90 transmission, stock front and rear drives – all rebuilt. The carburetor is a Solex (original rebuilt Carter YF included). Brakes were not completed and this is the primary reason that it is not roadworthy. Currently it is in storage in Huntsville, Alabama with no title or tags. I do not currently live near this Jeep so I will have to arrange travel for a showing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
