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: Status Unknown. was $15,000.

“his posting is for a 1952 Willys M38-A1 (US Army) Jeep with 59,182 miles. Stored indoors in a climate-controlled warehouse. Beautifully patinaed it runs great and starts every time. Top end is 60 MPH on a flat road (if you’re leaning forward). New starter, coil, five tires and tubes. Gas tank has been cleaned and sealed. Recent oil change. Four-cylinder 4-134 F engine with three speed T90 transmission that runs strong, but does leak a little oil . New complete engine/seal kit comes with the vehicle. Transfer case may or may not work, never put in four-wheel drive. 24-volt electrical system with built in trickle charger. Has roof bow but I’ve never had the canvas top (inexpensive and readily available).

Looks like a good price. It has some early Cutlas PowerLock hubs.
“Runs great. 4cyl manual 4 wheel drive.”
TJ spotted this great looking Commando. Seller notes it needs some TLC, so I imagine it needs some power train work.

(12/19/2018) Bill owns this CJ-3A, one he bought via eWillys back in 2009.
https://stockton.craigslist.org/cto/d/stockton-1951-willys-cj3a/6804098804.html
“All original 1951 Willys CJ3a. Current California registration through June 2019. 6 Volt electrical system with keyed ignition and floor foot starter. Ramsey X200 R PTO winch. The person I bought the jeep from in 2009 said the winch worked but I’ve never tried it. Since I’ve owned the jeep, I’ve had the water pump rebuilt the radiator boiled out/tested and replaced the thermostat. I’ve replaced the fuel sending unit and now have a functioning fuel gauge. All gauges work. Front passenger mounted heater works.
No windshield wipers nor do they work. No bikini top but i do have a set of brackets but they are not original. The tires should have been replaced 20 or 30 years ago. Drivers rear tire will loose air but it takes a few weeks before it gets flat. All others hold air. This is a running Willys CJ3a but it I only feel comfortable going about 35 mph. You’ll need a trailer to get it home. It has a tow bar that accepts a 2 inch ball hitch but i’ve never used it. Again, you’ll need a trailer to get it home. I replaced the battery last month and it starts right up.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $14,550.
Refurbed nicely. Has a military head.
“Willys Jeep Lovers – This vehicle now available for sale.

It’s a nice looking and a clean jeep, too. I suspect the price is based on the “professional appraiser” valuation.
https://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/d/grinnell-1946-willys-jeep-cj-2a/6798286614.html
“This is a unique year for the Jeep being the first year the Willys became available to the general public after the war. This is truly a fantastic full body off restoration using most original parts. Very rare find with a Port Reed Bed Extension. Features original #6 volt electrical system with 56,000 original miles. Original Flathead 4 cylinder Engine completely overhauled with all numbers matching. Has new brake lines, fuel lines, wire harness. Carb kit. new seats. Original color as it came from the factory. Too many great details to mention with gauges, wipers seating, etc. Professionally appraised at $39,000.00 plus”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $10,000
(08/21/2013) Looks like the windshield bends at the cowl. Not quite stock, looks solid.
“This is a 1946 Willys Jeep. I have the stock wheels that also go with this jeep . I have either restored, replaced or rebuilt all parts on this jeep.The steering is manual on this also.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,500.
This looks nice. It’s listed in the East CT Craigslist and has CT plates, but the associated map places it in Independence, KS. I’m not sure why ….

(12/14/2018) Looks in good shape. No description provided.
Tom shared this low-mileage CJ-5. It has a documented history. Seats have been changed to cloth (read story), so at first they look worn, but it’s just the type of material. Overall, it seems in great shape.
http://www.sellajeep.com/mjs/sale18/adm347/adm347.html
“This CJ5 is all original. It has only 39,359 miles. Runs very well and has been driven a couple times a month. The original owner was a lady. I bought it from her in 2014. I replaced the radiator, fuel tank, shocks, leaf springs, heater core, tires, and gave it a tune-up. I only did this to maintain this jeeps integrity and dependability going forward.
Paint is excellent and shines as new. There is some noticeable wear after 43 years. I have taken it to local car shows and everyone is amazed at its condition. The hardcore car enthusiasts tell me over and over to do nothing more to this jeep. It has a documented story, it’s in rare shape, and is shows and runs amazingly well.
This is perfect for the individual wanting a daily driveable jeep or just a weekly joy ride without having to work on it first. It needs nothing mechanically. It is sound and fun to just putt-putt in.
I have a brown soft top, roll bar, rear mounted spare tire rack and owners manual. I also have the poster I had made telling a brief history of the jeep that I use at the shows.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
I assume the wires sticking out of the battery box was a temporary thing related to getting the jeep going. It looks solid.
“1954 Willys M38A1, original 24v, 4 cylinder. Military tires, roof believed to be original and in good condition (no rips/tears). Fording kit, heater, military 24v charging port installed. OEM Brass Fire Ext. All canvas including front radiator cover for winter. Some of the door/ side curtain fastener stays have started to pull through.
Inherited this from my father who owned it 10-12 years, I was probably the last person to drive it 2009-2010. Started working on getting it running again, cleaned fuel system, new carb, new starter. Start and runs, with a miss, not sure why. Need to get this moved to finish the garage it’s in.”
This is a clean looking truck!
https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/smithville-1961-jeep-willys-pickup/6787062358.html
“I’ve enjoyed my Willys pickup but time to move on to another project. Selling this great truck for someone else to enjoy. It’s 4-wheel drive and has a 327 Chevy 5-speed under the hood. Runs well and has been maintained regularly. Most recently changed the brake master cylinder, mounted a remote brake reservoir, replaced the started solenoid and replaced wipers. Winner of Best in Class award at the 2017 Bastrop car show.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000.
(12/06/2018) The jeep looks nice. Seller estimates that there are less than 100 M-170s in existence. Actually, I’ve documented and seen more than 200 and I suspect there are many more I haven’t seen.
“18k is estimated reasonable value. I have that in parts. rotisserie restoration completely stock. Less than 100 exist. Very few restored. This one has everything to make it complete. Rebuilt everything. Has arctic heater kit, full ambulance gear. Full top and doors. Deep water military fording kit It is what that cj6 was derived from. Military show winner. I want to trade for a true hot rod. 30s 40s or 50s. Two door. Something that has or can add ac to. Flathead is plus.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.

“Documented frame off restoration and 12 volt done by previous owner. Always stored indoors.
It started right up and idles properly after two years of sitting. The known issues:
Pops out of 2nd gear, leaks at rear diff seal and maybe rear seal on engine.
Also this time around the brake pedal goes to the floor so brakes not operating.
Engine serial does not match. This rig needs attention, I’m not a mechanic.
You will need to trailer it away. Collector plates, $9,000.00 cash no counter offers please.”
Appears in good shape.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
Thanks to Chris for sharing this one. Looks like a good price.
“restoration. The engine and transmission were rebuilt and the frame sand blasted and painted. Since I have owned it for the last 5 years I have also rebuilt the steering box and linkage along with various other fixes. The tires are only a few years old and have plenty of life left. The carburetor has been rebuilt as well.
While doing the drive train rebuild I brought this jeep back to a column shift which it was originally. I drive this jeep all the time and it has been tremendous fun. Only reason for selling is that I have another one and do not have room for two.”
