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 .

(03/10/09) Here’s a great looking CJ-3B. I’d like to see some more pics of it.
“Willys Jeep CJ-3B , Rebuilt Original 4 cylinder Drivetrain, Original 6 volt elec. System. Added 6 volt electric fuel pump. many new parts and new tires. It’s been in my family for over 40 years. 37,000 Miles, always kept indoors. My Mechanic says it needs to be driven more and I don’t have the time anymore for play. Email any questions you may have by replying or leave a phone number. I believe this is an ideal candidate for a total restoration to its original military appearance, which would at the least double it’s value, by ebay research.”
UPDATE: Was $957. **SOLD**
“not running complete drivetrain all original”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.

(06/05/2009) “My Father is ready to sell his Eastern Washington 1959 FC-170 Jeep located in Chelan, WA. Introduced in 1957, FC-170 models had a 103 inches (2,616 mm) wheelbase with a 108 in (2,743.2 mm) bed. This model is significant as it was the first time the length of the payload box – 9 feet (2.7 m) with the tailgate up – exceeded the wheelbase of a truck. This was achieved by the forward cabin layout. The Jeep starts right up and is ready for you to take it home!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Not perfect, as the dash is missing a couple items, but this truck looks good.

Robert forwarded this Ad. It looks like a pretty nice truck and plow for the price.
“1949 Jeep – Willies Pick – up W/plow. Very good condition for a 60 year old truck. $1200.00 and this fine old truck is yours.”
UPDATE: Price now $4500
(10/26/09) This still have the 6 volt system. Unusual paint job. Needs top.
“1949 jeepster that has a L head 4 cylinder engine and runs. And I have driven it up to two days ago, but rain came. It has been rattlecanned red so paint looks bad. Has a large long gouge on passenger side and rusted out areas in the rocker panels. Column shifter with an overdrive. Shifts very good. 2 wheel drive. And a very fun car to drive. Large area in back with a large back seat. Interior needs total restoration and top bows sandblasted and painted. Needs canvas top too. Didn’t need it in good weather. These are very rare and obviously hard to find. Might trade for an original CJ3B. or a MB or M38 (not a A1). Jeeps need to be complete and fairly good condition. Still 6 volt. Starts almost everytime on first or second try. I do perfer cash though.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
(11/24/09) This looks pretty stock and runs. Looks like it might be a good price.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A military style jeep. Running and in fair condition. Original 4 cylinder enjine with rebuilt carburator, generator and starter. Very original condition with little rust. Would be a great jeep to turn into that vintage rock climber you have alwasy wanted!”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD** As James notes, the seller neglects to mention the lack of a column shift (and I missed it too).
With a VIN of #10907, this is the 907th CJ-2A made. It’s a rare vehicle.
“Out of the Utah high desert, WWII vet owned and maintained CJ-2A from 1945. First year a civilian Jeep was produced and one of the first 1000 made. All data plates are there and in good condition. True “survivor” with very few changes made to it over the years.
Compression and oil pressure are good, but I think the carburetor will have to be rebuilt (or ideally replaced, it’s not correct for the year). Has plenty of power and runs well at speed, but idles poorly (rich). Brakes work fine, shifts well through all gears. Was register/used right up until April 2009.
Front seat frames are original, rear is not, but would work/look fine while you shopped for an original. Body is in great shape overall (UT is the second driest state in the US, just behind Nevada) but it still has some hat channel rust under the front floor and tool box. No soft top or top bows.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $4900.
Jim is selling his M-38. It looks straight and rust free!
“Its an original M38 that starts good, runs good, brakes good, looks good, drives good. This Army Jeep runs GOOD, Body real solid for 60 years old-body shows no holes, looks to have had some minor body restoration over the years, Floor pans still original-few little holes only! Hat channels 90% still there, Brakes re-done what ever was needed hoses, lines, shoes etc.., original flat head motor re-built years back, Has a TITLE !”
There is already a bid for $7000 for this nice CJ-5. The Monroe Lift looks great!
“1960 Willys Jeep CJ5 President Red Color, Professionally Fully Restored. Rebuilt engine in 2007. Rear PTO, Monroe 3pt hitch and Governor front 200# weight. New non-directional tires. Odometer shows around 60,000 miles, but actual mileage unknown. Please do not bid until you have all your questions answered, and you have seen the jeep in person if desired. More pictures http://www.choosethechief.com/pics/CJ/CJ5.html”
This looks pretty solid.
“1944 Willys Jeep. Pretty much all original military jeep. It does run and drive but needs a little TLC. It’s located in Dewey. $2500 or best offer. Call Fernando at 928-237-7394. Thanks for looking. I do have seat cushions for it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18500.
(12/04/09) This sounds like a detailed rebuild …
“1943 Willys MB Jeep for sale. The Jeep has its’ original body and components minus the windshield frame assembly. I’ve restored over 30 vintage Military Vehicles since 1993 and this is my 3rd WWII Jeep. This is one of my finest jobs if I can say so. I applied new techniques that I learned recently that added more detail to my work. I got the Jeep operational last week and it drives perfect at 55 MPH! As any other vintage restoration, there is always some minor tweeking and tuning to get things just right. This Jeep was rebuilt by the US Army at the Esslingen Army Depot in 1952 where it received a newer type engine since the older type had long been out of stock. There are a few parts that’re Ford script marked to attest to that point….. (much more of a description in the Ad)”
