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 $1650.
I’m not sure if this runs or not. Looks rough, but looks very stock.
“
1948 WILLYS JEEP,VERY RARE, MUST SELL,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
“times really are tough. must sell my 1945 willys combat jeep. the jeep is a work in progress. right now it runs good, no smoke or engine noises. it drives and it stops. clutch slips some in high range gears. throwout bearing is a little noisy. all gears work, 4 wheel drive with lockout hubs works perfect. has all new brakes and brake lines including all steel and rubber lines. carb was rebuilt. still needs cosmetics. fuel tank gally under the seat needs replace. has no orig tank, uses plastic boat tank now. no windshield glass floors are not perfect they have some thin spots but mostly solid. this jeep with another 1500 in cosmetic work is very valuable. I would take 5000 firm. as little as 3000 with a trade. looking for old chevy muscle.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1000. It runs. Looks like a great price to me.
(07/13/09) I wonder how bad the inside rust really is.
“Up for sale is one of the rarest jeeps ever produced. It is a millitary M170 field ambulance. It has been converted to 12 volts. It does have rust in the bed and passenger floor. It would make a great restoration project or hunting vehicle. It runs and drives. The 4wd also works. The frame and drive train are in good condition. The driverside windsheild also has a crack in it. I do not have a title will be sold with a bill of sale.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
It’s got some issues, but unclear what they are.
“1952 Willys-M38 Jeep. Water proof,posi traction ,hotwater heaterkit,with /brz foring kit ,runs and drives well. Does need a little tlc but worth the price.
UPDATE: The winner of this auction for the low price of $1575, Joe reports he brought a new battery with him when he picked up the jeep, stuck it in the jeep and the jeep fired right up. He then drove the jeep right on to the trailer. He’s a happy camper about now. Congrats!
“1950 WILLYS JEEP in running condition. It needs brakes, has oversized tires, original spare tire and needs some body work. It would be good for running around the farm or woods, used for parts or restore it. The mileage listed may not be correct although it has not had many miles put on in the last 40 years, mostly just offroad around the property here.”
UPDATE: Pics provided and price dropped to $2995
Appears mostly original, except for the CJ-2A windshield.
“THIS JEEP RUNS GOOD I DRIVE IT ALOT. I AM ASKING $2950.00 O.B.O. CALL WITH ANY QUESTIONS. 620-432-3518.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
The coffee has been cleaned off of the hood and this has been sold. I’m just showing it for kicks. You can see the early pics (and mouse) here and the coffee here.
“All original everything, needs a complete restoration. Has a very straight body, I just pulled it out of a local farm where it sat unused for the past 30+ years. No title, bill of sale only, if you need a title I am happy to show you how to get one, is simple, cheap, takes maybe 2 weeks, have done it many times. I can help with local transport on my flatbed or farther for the cost of fuel. No scammers, lowballers or BS, thanks and have a great day. Jim”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
This might be an interesting find. Did the early M-38a1 come without a tailgate or is this a later model body?
“For sale is this 1952 Jeep Willy. Used in the winter months only…the rest of the time it was housed in the garage, Snow blade, Runs okay, Only minor rust, Enclosed roof/cap was installed, A lot of original parts”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“For sale is a 1941 Willys “slat grill” MB Army Jeep and a matching 1943 Bantam military trailer. Both are fully licensed and titled in the state of Wyoming.
The frame number on the jeep is MB108308, meaning that it was the 8308th production jeep delivered to the Army Quartermaster in WWII. There were more than half-a-million jeeps delivered to the military during WWII from Willys (the “MB”) and Ford (the “GPW”).
There is a weird screw-up on the body, in that early production jeeps featured a “script” from the manufacturer on the back. I purchased a reproduction rear body panel and, somehow, the Willys script was stamped on the wrong side. It’s an easy fix that anyone reasonably adept at welding can handle and I probably should have taken care of it by now, but I actually enjoyed leaving it that way, largely to drive the perfectionists crazy.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
Here’s a wagon that looks nicely stock.
“Early production, 1947 Willys Wagon complete with 4-cyl Willys engine and 3-speed with overdrive. A rare find! The wagon is in good condition and runs! The interior is clean and complete down to the wood floor panels. A fun collectors vehicle! Many new parts including gas tank, radiator and brakes. $4,750 (or reasonable trade for ATV/Dirt Bike and 1/2 CASH).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“289 ford engine, auto trans, new tires, lots of new parts. does run! Needs gas tank installed, i have the tank. Needs brake work, not working at this time. It does have some body cancer. Willing to trade for work truck 3/4 ton or larger. or skidloader/ tractor w/loader. lets deal”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
It looks like it wouldn’t take much to restore this nicely.
“Rare find vintage. STOCK, 4 WD, 6 cyl, 3 on the floor, straight body, and needs a caring owner! Was restored 10 years ago and has sat quietly for 3 yrs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Here’s a good looking truck.
“51 willys nice cond. newer paint,after mkt.rims w/originals, 327 ci. munci 4 sp. possible trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This looks very solid. It’s got no headlights or front driving lights.
“This jeep has no rust ,it has been stored inside all its life. I have put new vinyle sets on it. brakes are new. 12volt alternator instead of 6volt generator.runs very good. has a PTO winch on front of jeep that works.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
Mostly stock.
“
4wheel drive, manual tranmission, new tires, still has military placards on glove box, and original 4 cylinder for any more information please”
I’d like to see some more pics of this wagon. It might be in good shape.
“1960 jeep willys Wagon – 289 v8 – runs good – 3000 or make an offer”
http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/1467748405.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“1953 Jeep Willys 35k mileage 3 owners runs good needs brakes and radiator rough around tail lights.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
(09/15/09) This appears like a nicely original Wagon in good shape.
“Mechanically original (6 volt system). Engine rebuilt in mid 90s (valves replaced to accept unleaded fuel.) Reupholstered in 2002. Garage kept, been in family 40 years in dry NE Oregon. Teen daughters rolling their eyes. Priced at lower end of KBB for it’s condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** .. and it is heading to Norway. Congrats to James and to the new owner (whom I hope sends pics of it from Norway!). James wants to thank Ron from the G503 Site for helping out with this.
James has decided to sell his 1946 VEC CJ-2A #18526, column shift, driver’s indents, no rust. original docs and rear glass light. It works great and is in fantastic shape. He simply wants to have something he can modify and he doesn’t want to modify this CJ-2A because it is in such good shape.
James writes: It has original motor and all ACMs match 8057. A lot of work was done in 1985 at Archer Bros, Hayward. Motor wa rebuilt at 51k and is now at almost 62k. There is no rust. The springs and shackles not original; instead it has a superlift 2.5″. The top bow side holders and rear corner brackets have been removed. The front bumper mount has one ‘bubba weld’ and the rear bumper removed. I have the original rear light, trailer socket cover, and vacuum wiper. There are rear ‘bubba’ 4″ cutouts for lights. I’m the 4th owner and have lots of reciepts and docs. The Original owner had it until 1985, the 2nd to 2007, the 3rd to last year then me. This cj is a blast to drive and my family loves it, but I just can’t mod it like I want. It has survived 63 years without any major mods and I don’t have the heart to start ripping it up now.
****SOLD ****
Pic from when first purchased, before James cleaned it up a little:
Recent pic — James pulled off the diamond plating and, to his amazement, found no rust or damage:
UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $5900
(11/15/09) This looks pretty nice.
“This jeep has been rebuilt from the ground up with $7500 in receipts, in addition the Jeep appraised in 2003 for $12,000. The odometer has less that 700 miles since the restoration. No winch or PTO. The jeep is done in military dress. Looking to sell (cash only) or trade for a convertible with a clean Michigan title, no Labarons or other disposable convertibles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2725.
It’s got a big dent on the driver’s side tail, but otherwise looks good.
“
Newest daughter just arrived and Jeep has to go. Great vehicle but not a family cruiser. Collector or workhorse, your choice. Comes with 6′ Meyers plow. Runs and operates fine. Homemade soft top. Open to trades for newer Wrangler or CJ otherwise $2725″
UPDATE: **SOLD** Robert purchased this deal. I didn’t notice before, but those are Desert Dog Tires (and I’m likely the only person who cares)!
I would image the Overdrive is probably is reasonable shape, potentially making this a decent deal, especially if the price drops.
“This is one of those projects that you never get around too. The rear spark plug is missing and it appears that the cylinder has collected water over the years so I am sure that the engine needs major work. the transmission shift does not move, no idea. It has an overdrive kit purchased through J. C. Whitney so there are four shifting levers, regular transmission, high low range, four wheel drive, and overdrive. The body has some surface rust and a few holes in the floor boards but basically sound. ”
You can see this sports a column shift. And, it sports a seized motor.
“i have a 1946 willys jeep (an old army jeep) motor is seized but all origanal no roit surfaced rust only it has a steel top that was custum made for it that was made in west vergina a good old jeep ideal for somone to restore i have more pictures i can send if needed $4000.00 or best offer call robin 1-413-659-2621 leave message speak slowy and clearly thanks”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Gerald pointed out that this appears to be a Right Hand Drive CJ-3b. I agree it looks that way. On closer inspection, as Felix noted, the Willys was backwards. Some of these pics are flipped and some aren’t, though who knows why ..
This jeep has been sitting for 20 years, but it looks more like it has been sinking for 20 years.
“
1964 Willy’s Jeep. Has not been operated since 1990. In fair shape. A Great Restoration Project or for Parts. I can email any interested party additional pictures. Comes with the snow plow attached. We cannot provide the title (it has been lost), but do have a New York State Registration document for this vehicle. Additionally, we cannot provide a key to the ignition. This car is sold as is. It must be picked up or buyer must arrange pickup. Feel free to email me with any questions.”
