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 $4200.
(10/13/09) “1953 willys, good condition, runs great, no rust. herculiner on the inside, new seats, good paint. needs minor repairs such as seals in rear and front end, just dont have the time to mess with it any more. asking $4500.
UPDATE: Was $2800. **SOLD**
This looks like a great price.
“1948 Willy’s CJ 2A Jeep. All original. Straight body, good engine, no smoke. Transmission/4wd all work great. New tires. Tow bar and a few extra parts. Please call for additional information as I do not check emails.”
This appears in good shape. At first I thought this might be a CJ-3A, however, that grille would suggest the ’47 year is correct. I’m gonna guess this has a rear PTO.
“For sale is a 1947 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives good. It has the original motor and the optional PTO. Please call 785-614-4467.”
http://ksu.craigslist.org/cto/2331581283.html
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $6500.
(10/02/2010) This appears solid with minimal updates and sports a rear PTO.
“This Jeep is in almost original condition. It was on a farm in Nebraska since new, until brought to Boulder County in 2002 by the second owner., from whom we bought it. It has the original engine and all parts, including a rare “power take off” (PTO) on the rear which still works well. Original paint scheme of Americar Black with Harvard Red Wheels. I added the new soft top, and had the original 6 volt system converted to 12 volt for better starting and running. It has a new 12 v system, new generator, new carburetor, new fuel pump, and new 12 v battery, new tires and used rear seat. The engine and transmission are very strong, and it will “climb a tree.”
UPDATE: Priced dropped to $8960
(08/20/2010) A serial number of 7564 would make this a pretty early GPW!

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Willys Jeep, which has had an amateur restoration done in 2002. It is from a local San Jose, CA estate we are selling. It starts right up and drives OK. The vehicle has the original data tags on the glove box showing the vehicle serial number: GPW118251. The frame serial number is GPW118251. The Body serial number, which is supposed to be stamped on the tub/body driver side cowl is not present. The Engine serial number, supposed to be stamped on the block to the right of the Oil filler tube is not present.
ENGINE & RUNNING GEAR: 4 cylinder 134 cid 60 HP L-Head engine apparently of a later date, serial number unknown. The only numbers I could find on the engine were located on the lower right side just above the oil pan: 10-4 . . . 64 1087-L-W7 AN1-CR-N2. The engine has an alternator upgrade kit. The engine has a small water leak, I suspect from the water pump. The transmission seems OK, but the clutch will need replacing before too long. The transfer case looks OK, the 4WD works OK.
BRAKES: The brakes appear to need replacing, along with repair to the emergency brake.
ELECTRICAL: The vehicle has been converted to a 12 Volt system. It looks like the wiring harness was replaced when restored in 2002. I could not get the headlights, brake light, dashboard lights or horn to work, but all other electrical functions seem OK.
FRAME: Original with VIN # GPW118251. The front left tongue has rewelded from a wreck, with some rust, otherwise it looks OK.
BODY: I couldn’t find the VIN where it is suppose to be located. The body shows rewelding work and heavy bondo work, with some cracks showing through the paint. But it looks pretty good.
EXTERIOR: Canvas top has wear to the left rear seam and some fading, but looks OK. It was repainted Army Olive Green with white lettering in 2002 and is in good condition. It has the tools on the side, gas can on the rear and a tow bar on the front.
INTERIOR: The driver’s seat has a tear, otherwise the passenger seat and rear bench are OK. All the dashboard gauges work. Manual windshield wipers. Tool kit under passenger seat. With gun rack. After market seat belt for passenger only.
SUMMARY: The 2002 restoration is showing some wear, but the jeep starts right up and drives OK. I couldn’t find any “F” Ford markings on parts, or bolts. A nice driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
This looks like a nice rig.

Here’s an ex-Forest Service jeep with plenty of original extras.
“1963 Willys CJ3B U.S.F.S. Jeep for sale. This unit underwent a very expensive rebuild down to the last nut and bolt during 2006-2007. Since then it has lived in our dry garage with a soft cover on it. It has about 540 miles on it and used on sunnydays, a few weddings, parades, crusing the Nathez Trace, etc. I just uncovered it, cranked it up and drove out in the yard and snapped these pictures.If you are a Willys person you can see the care that was taken in putting this unit back into service. The color is 1962 willys cerulean blue with correct seats and covers. We have a rear passenger seat not shown that goes with it. The new sheet metal is from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All mechanicals are remanufactured by professionals, no patching, period. In addition to the standard equipment: F-134 Hurricane Engine, 3 spd transnsmission, 2 speed transfer case, original 1962 lock-out front hubs, 16” willys steel wheels. The goverment agencies added from the Willys Dealer on this one: Belt Driven Variable Speed Engine Governor, Rear P.T.O. Drive for Implements, Front P.T.O. Drive for the Keonig King Winch with plasma rope, Warn Over Drive for Highway travel, Fuel Pump with Vacuum Motor to operate 2 Windshield Wipers, F-3 Engine Oil Cleaner, Spartan Self Cancelling Turn Signals and more. Everything is as it should be. We prefer an alternator to insure reliability. The jeep is very quiet, and safe. If you want to built a rust free “new” willys you will spend double the price of this one. If you want to go on fun Jeep Rides and be the talk of any car show, it is available. Look on www.cj3bpage.com and go to 1962 owners. It is feautured there with another write-up and more pictures.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $29,000.
(11/30/2010) Bob spotted this really nice original restoration. I’d like to see some better pics. I also really like the color scheme. I do have a couple minor, really minor detail questions pertaining to originality. Wouldn’t the bezels have been painting the body paint color (though I think they look better in black)? Also, wouldn’t the rear bumper have had the dropped PTO connector angle (though I like the looks of the bumper that was installed on this)?
“Early production column-shift model 20670.
Ground-up restoration to original condition. The jeep has the original 134 cid in line 4-cylinder engine, column-shift T90 3-speed manual transmission and transfer case. Every piece on this classic Jeep has been disassembled, media blasted and rebuild, reconditioned, or replaced to achieve its as new condition. This Willys has been finished in the correct Harvest Tan color with the corresponding orange wheels. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000
(02/07/2011) This appears in good shape, though there is a spot of some kind on the hood.
“I have 1946 willys really good shape will trade for vette or mustang 65 years old lol every day driver.”
Looks good.

Lawrence has decided to sell his hinged grille 1952 M-38A1. I’ve gotten to know Lawrence over the past few weeks and I feel comfortable saying that this M-38A1 should be in excellent mechanical shape. You might remember Lawrence’s other jeeps, which I featured here.
As an ex-army motor pool and ex jeep dealer mechanic, Lawrence knows his way around jeeps very well. He’s also a practical guy and as such, has replaced the normal gearing in his jeep with more road friendly 4:27 gears along with an overdrive. The beachwood canvas top and seats are pretty new. He switched the stock carb for a holley, as he prefers that carb. He’s replaced the standard bellcrank with a custom version that he invented which pivots on tapered bearings (if you want one, just let me know); along with the bell crank, he improved the stock steering so that the jeep responds well on the road. This has been converted to 12 volt, though it came with an unusual 24 volt heater which Lawrence believes was installed by the army (and in the process they removed the battery box).
If you are looking for a M-38A1 that can pass for stock, but can also be a dependable road jeep, you might consider calling Lawrence at 828-287-5275. He was thinking of a price in the $7k neighborhood.
I only have these 2 pics.
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/14/2010) This looks like a great price.
“1952 WILLYS JEEP M 38 Runs great! The body is in excellent condition! Here is what has been altered: The second battery box (which was removed and bonded over). This was done before I received the Jeep. The 24 volt system was removed and the 12 volt put in its place. Also, I added power steering! The motor is a Buick V6 225 that was taken from a scrambler and placed in the jeep. It can climb a tree! It has a 3 speed transmission out of a 1968 CJ5. The transfer case is from a 1968 CJ5 as well. Both the transmission and the transfer case are the same make that used to be put in the earlier willys. I’ve also got a few extra parts for this jeep that you can have at no additional cost. Just to be clear this jeep is completely off-road ready! It doesn’t smoke at all and there are no unusual noises. My number is 928-607-1120. email, call, or text. I have additional pictures. Come take a look!!!”

Roadmonster.org wrote about designer Tavis Highlander and his wagon last year. According to the post, his illustrations have been featured in Hot Rod and Car Craft Magazines. In addition, he illustrated and then built the below wagon, which has been featured in Hot Rod Magazine, Truckin’ Magazine, and Radical Renderings.
