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. This section used to be split into jeeps, parts and other categories, but recent changes to eBay will require this information to be recoded.
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 .

A reader asked about finding chromed lug nuts that had right and left hand threaded types.
I responded with this information:
“I got my lug nuts from my local schucks store. They carry the Mr Lugnut brand. I needed to get some special ones due to the thickness of my cast aluminum rims. However, I only needed right handed threads and not lefty’s. http://www.mr-lugnut.com/
Here’s a page that might be helpful too http://www.discountjeepparts.com/index.php/cPath/1714_302 It appears they have both right and left hand threaded chrome bolts that will cover the whole stud. Another thought (which doesn’t sound like much fun) is to knock out the left hand threaded studs and just go with right handed ones all around?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
A reader named Terry alerted me to this sale.
“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep Serial Number 56566
I am selling this Jeep because I am ill with a progressing brain disease and there is more work to be done on this Jeep than I expected. Transmission is inoperable, locked in neutral, and needs replacement or rebuilding. Steering gear needs work. Engine is perfection, runs like a dream. I originally purchased it with the idea that it would take the place of my Ural, so I could continue going out sight-seeing and exploring. … The Jeep’s original flathead, four-cylinder engine (engine #103462) has less than 300 miles on it since being completely rebuilt.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks more like a M-38 to me, but I can’t tell conclusively.
“
1952 Jeep CJ3A. This jeep has a 1955 F head engine instead of the original flat head engine. I have lots of extra parts I bought at a military auction many years ago. I have a soft top for it. This Jeep has NO rust and ran great last time I went hunting in it which was 1994. it has been stored inside ever since. Even the interior is good. I put in a new gas tank with non corrosive liner. It needs a battery and most likely will need a carburetor rebuild from sitting so long and will have years of trouble free hunting or whatever. It’s not fast (max 50 mph) but it will climb a tree.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
It looks like this was an old school trail jeep that someone was modifying into a rock crawler.
“1942 Ford G.P.W project lifted on chevy full length 8 lug 3/4 ton running gear sittin on 35″ tsl swampers over half tread with a chevrolet 350 under the hood runs great needs drive lines built and some welding done been on Oregon creek and trail runs at least 5 times and rubicon once by previous owner will fit 44″ tires no problem has huge p.t.o”
This might be a pretty good price for only $1000 given the work that has been done.
“1946 Willys Jeep has rebuilt motor, transmission and transfer case. Needs generator, starter and brakes. Asking $1,000 obo. Any questions call Gene at 586-774-5168. Thanks for looking!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
There are a ton of updates to this Jeep.
“’48 JEEP FLAT FENDER, CHEV 3.8 V6, BOXED FRAME, T-90 TRANS, OVERDRIVE, FULL ROLL CAGE, TILT COLUMN, INSRUMENTS, HEATER/DEFROST, ELECTRIC WIPERS, WARN WINCH, TOW BAR, NEW CANVAS, NEW WHEELS,TIRES,BRAKES. NO RUST. TURN KEY READY.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,950.
It looks nice enough, but I just don’t think the seller makes a strong argument for the rather high asking price.
“1946 Jeep CJ2A that has had a complete body-off restoration. Many items have been chromed and a new set of chrome wheels and tires. The engine is original and has been completely gone through. The Jeep hasn’t gone more that 50 miles since being restored. Custom seats have been added and many other accessories.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
“I’m selling this CJ3a for $3500 firm. I recently put an original style L-Head back into it after the previous owner did a V6 conversion on it. This L-Head is a higher compression version of the original; a Kaiser Supersonic engine. It has excellent consistency of compression between the cylinders. This vehicle also has brand new (about 500 miles) BFG All-terrain 30×9.50-15s.
The vehicle just needs the ignition wired up to start and the exhaust is not installed, though I have all the pieces.”
If my addition is correct, readers have located 6 rare Stewart handcrank heaters in the US & UK. They are rare enough that the antique Road Show people couldn’t get any information about them from their buyers (see the 2nd to last post on this page).
Dennis, who’s heater is featured here, decided to fire up his heater at night, creating this cool picture. He also sent an unrelated artsy pic of an M37 he thought he’d share. Thanks!
