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 $4800. Looks like this has a civilian chassis.

This one looks in good shape. Barry spotted it. It almost looks like the rear wheels are larger than the fronts. It must be an optical illusion?
“I am selling my 52 Willys overland, frame off restoration with a little over 23k mileage. Runs and drives really nice, very fun to drive. I have too many projects and need to let this one go. I will consider trades for running drivable Camaro, Chevelle or an 87 Monte Carlo SS hardtop. ”

For Sale: NICE ’52 Willys M-38. Not restored. This is an Authentic, numbers matching, unmolested all original flat fender low hood Willys M-38 Military Jeep.
Clear Blue Texas Title.
All the manuals and original owners handbook will go with the Jeep. This jeep was owned by a retired USAF officer who recently passed. It has been under cover and in storage for a significant amount of time. This Jeep is not perfect, but this is the best M-38 solid restoration candidate I’ve seen in YEARS. Floor boards are BEAUTIFUL and SOLID. Tool Kit floor is PERFECT. The only rust-through on the entire Jeep is in the RR quarter panel at the fender support, and it’s minor, as shown in the pictures. Authentic U.S. Army markings still intact and legible. The windshield frame is flawless, the glass is excellent. This Jeep even has the winter top bows installed for the winterization kit and the tracks on the windshield frame and the bottom door tracks.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Looks like a good price.
“1953 m38 a1 marine corps readio jeep. good condition, runs, drives, with title. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Looks nice.
“If your looking for an all original Jeep Willys Wagon, your search is over. This thing is in really great shape and would be worth your time to come take a look. This jeep is 55 years old so it has cosmetic opportunities, but if you spent some time just buffing this thing out, it would look amazing. There is no rust anywhere on this jeep and it’s been in the garage for most of it’s life and it shows. Just spent $800 on getting it tuned up, but it still has a carb issue. You can come hear it run and we can drive it, but the carb struggles with keeping this thing fed. I had it in four-wheel drive this winter so I know that works as well. The engine is the flat head 6 cylinder. The only other issue is a couple flaws in the headliner and the driver door needs a new latch. Other than that, not much wrong with this unit. Let me know if you’re interested in coming out to take a look.”
Looks like a Lefty.

A Very nice early original Willys CJ3A Jeep that could be used as an original survivor or restored.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $6500.
(05/12/2017) Been parked for a while, but still looks in good shape.

Runs and drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2400.
(04/25/2017) Has a rear PTO. Needs some works, but runs and drives.
“Early production (or so I am told) CJ2A Jeep, has a power take off (PTO) on it too! 3 speed stick, 4 wheel drive hi/low range. It runs! It drives! It stops! That is about it though… It carries heavy “patina” on the body/tub which is to say it is very rusty-you can see the ground through the floor… Could be the basis for some sort of crawler project. Certainly could be restored as it appears that any part you want is available either used or new /reproduction, even complete bodies can be had. Depends on how much money you want to spend. I have done the following: new soft brake lines, new master cylinder, new wheel cylinders, new radiator hoses, thermostat, radiator cap, spark plug wires. It is not street legal at this time primarily because none of the lights work. With some brake lights and new tires you could drive it as it is I think. If you want something to bomb around on your own property you wouldn’t have to do a thing. One should not think about trying to drive it home in it’s current state, should be trailered. Comes with two extra sets of axles/differentials and a set of extra leaf springs too. I have the original selectmatic locking hubs and it has vintage Warn locking hubs on it now.’
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

Robert’s got his nice looking column shift up for sale.
“I’ll certainly miss it, but it’s time to put my column shift, 1946 CJ2A up for sale.
The body is in great condition. Of course it’s been painted some time during it’s 71 years. There is no visible rust. The floorboards and hat channels are solid. In case you didn’t know, the original willys floors were reinforced with thin metal C channels filled with wood. It was the perfect solution during the war, but the rotting wood quickly rusted the floors. Not this Willys. It’s still solid and original. Spending most of it’s life in California is probably the reason.
The engine was replace by the guy I bought it from. He said it’s a Jasper replacement engine. It’s also been converted to 12v out of a 1960s chrysler. I had the transmission rebuilt, along with all of the supporting parts (clutch, presure plate, throwout bearing, etc..) about 500 miles ago. That wasn’t cheap.
In the years that I’ve owned it, I’ve put less than 2000 miles on the odometer. In that time I’ve replace the following items.
16″NDT tires
Complete reproduction wire harness
Restored Carter carb with glass filter
Reproduction gauges
Fuel level sending unit
Rear seat
I’m sure there’s more I’m forgetting, but you are welcome to look through the folder full of receipts that I’ve kept.
I also have quite a few extra parts. Things like a vacuum wiper motor with line, a head, soft top bows, another transmission and much more.
The problems with it are a stuck horn button, the E brake doesn’t work, the carb needs adjusting (it backfires through the exhaust when you shut it off) and there is play in the steering.
Overall is an excellent, well preserved, CJ2a that I would not be afraid to drive anywhere. Add to that the fact that the column shifts were only produced for the first year and a half of production and you wind up with a very desirable old Jeep.
If you are serious about buying an old Jeep, don’t let this one slip by you. Column shifts in this condition don’t come along very often!”
