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 .

Nice looking, but doesn’t start at the moment.
“1964 willys jeep cj3 new paint has been stored in heated building for four years new wheels & tires new battery has bad fuel will need fuel system cleaned/will not start”
It seems nice enough, though not sure why they’d pull off the original steering wheel and put the sport wheel on it.

(10/27/2010) There’s been plenty of work done on this rig.
“Up for sale, like the title says, 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has been an on going project but it is time to let go. Spring over axle lift with American Racing rims and 35″ tires. Full size spare. 6 point roll cage, bucket seats, with 4 point harnesses. The axles have been swapped. Dana 44 in the rear and is locked with a mini spool and the front is a Dana 30 open with disc brakes. The motor is a Ford 289 V8 out of a 66 mustang, runs great. Front half of the frame has been boxed to handle the power/torque. Transmission is a T-18 from a 70’s ford. Low 6.32 ratio 1st gear. Transfer case is a Dana 18 twin stick, adapted with an advanced adapters kit. 4Lo 1st gear this thing crawls and does great! Custom drive shafts. Full soft top with doors. Like I said this is a project….right now it runs and drives great, however, the passenger seat needs a bracket built, and I had to cut the floor board for the transmission to fit so some of the front floor board will need replaced. I am currently working on fabbing both but it wouldnt take much to button up. This toy has plenty of power and could easily have more. I will attach a picture but if you want more feel free to email and ask, I have plenty.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
Fred asked me to list his Wagon for sale. It is also listed over at the oldwillysforum. There have been a variety of comments about the price over there.

UPDATE: Jim noted this might be a scam. So, I went to double check the link this morning and discovered the content had completely changed, except for the email address. This one has me a little perplexed. The add originally listed the below jeep at $2900. See comments for Jim’ comment.
“I have owned this jeep for about 6 years. It is a virtual frame up restoration of a 1954 Military M170 Frontline Ambulance to great running condition. Every part examined, restored or replaced on this jeep. Engine rebuilt with less than 20 hours running time on it. Rebuilt radiator, NOS carburetor, NOS fuel pump, complete new Vintage wiring harness, NOS lights, power switch, steering linkage, new brake shoes, emergency break system, rebuilt transmission and transfer case, hubs repacked/rebuilt, New military tires, new exhaust, exhaust manifold, NOS cross over tube, water proof plug wires, accelerator peddle and linkages, cables, speedometer cable, NOS fuel tank, NOS passenger seat, etc., etc., etc.
This vehicle can be a daily driver. It tops out at about 55 mph, loves 35 mph. I rebuilt this jeep for our kids on the ranch and it had to be absolutely reliable to start and run because we left it unstarted for weeks at a time and everyone wanted to drive it when we go out there. I promise you this vehicle is in excellent running condition.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“Frame off restoration in 2003/2004 (completed with my M37) – with all 24V parts (mostly OEM). I found this Jeep at a Machine shop in Tucson painted orange and converted to 12V – I spent over a full year converting it back to 24V and restoring it to Military condition. I have many extra parts that I will throw in with this purchase. I enjoy 4 – wheeling and this vehicle has always been the hit of the trips – it is fun to watch the guys with the expensive rock crawlers come and marvel at the M38. Veterans Day parades have also been a great time in the Jeep with my sons. This vehicle is restored to motor pool condition and has had its share of off road adventures (see picture of catching air with the boys in the seats smiling ear to ear! This is not a trailer Queen – It has a strong engine and transmission. All canvas in GREAT condition. This Jeep needs a good home with someone to drive it and enjoy it as much as I have.
This jeep needs: horn does not work (used to but I disconnected it when it got stuck on), needs wiper motors and wipers (never needed in AZ) and slight dent in rear tailgate. There is no canvas top, spare tire in excellent condition. Minor leaks underneath but normal for any military vehicle.”
This looks pretty good for the price.

I would consider a reasonable offer or if you have something the arctic cat dealer will alow in trade I would consider dicounting for that. this jeep is almost totaly stock has original 4 cylnder go devil flat head engin.”
Steve’s is listing this body in case someone wants it. This is saveable, but will take some work.
“Looks to be a 1952 Willys M38 original body. No body tag number – so guessing at year based on certain features, i.e. data tags get mounted on plate rather than directly on dash.
This body is about to go to the scrap heap – so I figured I’d offer here before cutting up. This body needs new front floor section and new hat channels. Body has a lot of bondo on it and very unprofessional body work throughout. Also has been chopped a little near front firewall due to someone named Bubba installing a V-8 in the frame this was sitting on.
If you are good with metal work and want to start with an original 1950’s body this is for you. If your not good with metal work, buy a repro. from DL Bensinger don’t buy this body it needs a lot of work.
Local pick up only (although, I could deliver it up to 50 miles for a fee if paid in full). No shipping. No returns, no guarantees. Come take a look if you are local.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(03/29/2010) The top in particular looks really nice.
“This Jeep had an off the frame complete restoration done. It has the original 4-cyclinder engine, new transmission, and a rebuilt transfer case. Also, has new brakes, hoses, springs arched, radiator, and carburetor. The original lights and horn are 12-volt. The Jeep does have lock-out hubs. Jeep is winter green with black interior seats. Jeep has the original working heater and metal Koenig top with doors. Jeep has approximately 300 miles on it since restoration. This Jeep is in excellent original condition with new tires and is ready to go”

I accidentally wandered across these unusual photos from the Timberlane’s thoughts blog. I’ve never seen a Civil Defense FC. Maybe someone out there knows more about it? I *think* this is in California, based on the front license plate. I have lightened all four shots. You can see the originals in the original post at the website.
