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 .
Beautiful truck. Does the rear PTO gear box only require two bolts when mounted onto a truck bumper?

“1948 Willys CJ2a
In complete restored condition
I bought this vehicle about a year ago for my elder mom as she always wanted a old red jeep of her own ( even though she’s way too old to drive) Now its tough for her to even walk out to see it.
It is a museum quality jeep, AS nice as they come.
Actually located in Sonora Calif”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 11,000.
Looks like a nice truck. Only the one pic provided.
“Az. truck. Driver quality restoration.”
Appears in good shape. That said, the claim that this is “unrestored” seems unbelievable given the CJ-2A did not come in this “traditional US Military” color. Here is a look at the colors: https://www.thecj2apage.com/paint.html

This jeep was on the cover of the Kaiser Willys catalog in 2016.
“This Is the Genuine article and a true world war two Jeep. This jeep was on the cover of the 2016 kaiser Willys Jeep parts magazine. This World War II jeep is a four-cylinder, three speed, four-wheel-drive, 6 V all-around fun driving machine. This piece of history starts right up and can run all day long. Call if you are truly interested in this jeep. Tire kickers need not bother. This was a military vehicle so there is no carefax report. So bring your trailer and take home a World War II legend…A Willy’s Jeep.”
Kaiser Willys used the jeep’s image in multiple places during 2016. Here’s one example:
Looks like a nice Jeepster.

“2WD Very rare. They only made these Jeepsters from 1948 to 1950. This Jeepster has the very rare optinal 6cyl and 1949 was the first year you could get it. 3 speed with push button overdrive. Has the rare optional radio, turn siginals, and mirrored spot light. This is a very solid Arizona Jeepster and has had only one paint job done back in the 1970’s. The paint still looks good for it’s old age. Has always been taken care of and always garaged. This Jeepster has been in the same family since the early 50’s. Overall in good shape for it’s old age and very solid. The Jeepster runs and drives. Needs new soft top put on and I have the new top. Clean title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $12,000.
Looks in good shape, though the bottom isn’t quite as clean as the topside.
“1957 Jeep Willys CJ5. Runs great!! Just got it NYS inspected. Hardly any rust on it. All original, not restored. This was a mint barn find from original owner. Only 33,000 miles on it. In great condition for an original 57 Jeep. Only reason I’m selling it is because it’s in such great condition I’m afraid of using it to go off road. I don’t want to damage it, I’d rather sell this to someone who can appreciate the historical value. Like I said, runs great I’ve been driving it around for a couple months now. I just put new brake lines, hose, pads, wheel cylinders and master brake cylinders on it. Along with a new carb.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $7500.
Appears worth a look.
“This is an original Jeep with original paint. It’s in excellent condition. Though it has been sitting in my yard for months, it starts right up and runs great. This Jeep has new tires, exhaust, seats, as well as many other new parts and was very well taken care of by the previous owner.
I shipped this one across the country from SC…It was that nice!
This jeep has a heater, half canvas top with rear curtain, many new parts. Has original PTO, serial number indicates (GB) which is a farm jeep designation. Very rare only a few thousand of them made.
Low original mileage this jeep has not seen much work. It was used primarily as a toy.”

“Stored in a garage in the Colorado Mountains since 1982, this jeep was recently pulled out and revived. It shows just 17,557 miles on it. It runs remarkably well, starts easily, and has no visible smoke whatsoever.
It has a new fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel line, and rebuilt the carburetor. It got a major tune up, oil change and a new battery. All of the wheel cylinders were replaced, new brake shoes and a new master cylinder.
The dry climate in Colorado has preserved the body. There is a crack in the RR fender near the spare tire mount that is showing minor rust. The tub and floors are very good, but the floor supports are rusting and need replacing. (Easy to do and not expensive)
The seats and interior are in very good condition.
The tires are dry cracked and need to be replaced. Right windshield is cracked.”
Looks good.

“WILLYS JEEPSTER!! GOING TO SELL FAST.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
The eBay buy-it-now price of $6500 looks like a good price. Could be a USMC jeep.
“This 1953 M38A1 is in good condition considering its age, starts easily, and the engine runs well. If you are a collector, restorer, or just someone who loves fun vehicles, this is a rare gem and a great island toy and should not be missed!
This vehicle was purchased in 2005 fully restored. It includes all of the cool features of the M38A1 such as the 24 volt electrical system, the blackout lights, foot starter switch, 3 speed transmission with low/high transfer, rear mounted gas can, and more.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is the radio version of the M-170. The high bid is $1500 as of Thursday morning.
“For your consideration a nice condition and very rare Willys m170 USMC radio truck.
This is very similar to the more common M170 ambulance but instead of outfitted with stretchers, Was used to carry radio gear. This is a particularly rare bird because it is a later production model from 1963 ….basically almost 6 years later than standard production of the m170 was stopped
I don’t know much about the history of this vehicle in the service but there are a few sources online where one could study about them and the rarity of it.
This particular unit is in nice shape and has been mildly restored from an original unrusted example.

Looks good. Is that a storage box in the rear cargo area?

“Frame off restored 48 willys jeep flat fender Extremely nice condition Contact us for more information Located in Massachusetts Other prewar cars as well must go all restored”
This has potential.

“Rare barn find- 1949 Willy’s Jeep delivery has been sitting in a barn for 30+ years and then my garage for the past 4 years. The beast was used as a grocery delivery vehicle in the 60ish in Western Iowa. Mileage is at 68,000. Pretty rust free but the drivers side floor board is a little soft. It has new brakes, exhaust, tires, battery, and fuel line. This vehicle has the L134 Go Devil engine in it- 2WD. We had grand hopes to rebuild but it just hasn’t happened. Below is a link for when I drove it into my garage in June. $7500 OBO. Clean title in hand. Thanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Lots to like here.
“A 1948 Willy’s CJ2A. Jeep is in very good condition. Shows less than 18 K miles on odometer. This was a classic barn find near Audubon Iowa in 1978, and was purchased by my father and driven home. The motor was smoking badly at that time and it sat indoors in heated storage for many years. In the last few years the 4 cylinder flat head motor has been rebuilt, the 3 speed manual drive line gone thru, the brake,fuel, and cooling systems repaired/replaced.
New windshield glass. New seat cushions on all three seats on original frames. Still wears its faded and scratched “Princeton Black” 1948 paint excepting a few areas that were cleaned up as it was restored to be a turnkey driver. Factory(?) side steps All five original wheels, still in faded 1948 “Sunset Red”- which actually was a pumpkin orange- with a black trim stripe. All five wheels still mounted with military style non directional tires. Continue reading
Jeep appears solid. Carpet is covering the floors, but given this is eastern Utah, I doubt the floors would have much rust. Given the overspray, this might be painted ‘rattle can’ white.

“New tires, new seats, all original steel, new paint, rebuilt, Original Flat 4/L135. Runs great!!”
UPDATE: This jeep was auctioned at some point on Mecum
Looks like a great price, maybe too good of a price. Something doesn’t seem right about this ad. Who advertises a mint M-38 by describing it with a “front tow package”? And, I’m not seeing an obvious tow package. This might be a scam ….

“Running 1950 Willy Jeep with front tow package. Great condition.”
The body is in surprisingly good condition. Includes a rear PTO.

“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. original engine / transmission / rear PTO. Original paint and no rust repair no patches, all original sheet metal in great condition. a couple small rust spots behind front fenders but not worth fixing in my opinion. I have put 200 miles on this in the last week. Runs and drives excellent. lights works, engine is tuned up, brakes gone through all around and newer Bias ply tires. Clean and clear Indiana Title in my name. If your reading this its still available. can assist with shipping if needed. I will not respond to the “is this available” text.”
