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 named Steve is looking for a MB Grille, a Roll Cage that will fit a M-38 and a set of Ford V8 Headers that will also fit a M-38. Steve lives in Indiana. If you have any of these items, you can contact Steve at muddin61@yahoo.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This looks like a pretty nice M-38 with good accessories for the price.
“For Sale: 1950 Willis Jeep. This is a Korean War vintage military jeep. I have owned this jeep for over 23 years. It is an older restoration – – the engine has been rebuild, and has less than 1000 miles on it. It has working radios. The jeep has been in many parades. It runs and drives good. The brakes are good. It comes with a canvas top. $6,500.- with radios or $6,000.- without radios. I have more pictures if you are interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
This looks like a very good price. It runs, too.
“OK, I NEED THIS GONE. 500. IS A GREAT DEAL FOR THIS JEEP. 719-778-8995. MOTOR RUNS, NEEDS A MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKES NEED FIXED! YOU CAN TOW THIS HOME WITH A 7 1/8 BALL. FLAT HEAD 6 CYLINDER.”
I’m not sure there’s much to salvage, though the transfercase knobs look good.
“This is a 1952 Military style jeep, model 452-GB1. Willy’s Overland Jeep. Has a original 40hp 4cyclinder hurricane engine. 4wd Drivetrain complete. On tires and wheels for towing. (315)- 383-2274.”

“Restored to original. 3/4 ton, 4WD. Super Hurricane 226 6 cyl. engine, 3 speed transmission, 33,000 original miles, all in NM. Looks great, runs great.”
**SOLD**
The seller explains why this was painted pink. Looking past the pink color and it appears this CJ-2A is in excellent condition.
“1947 Willys CJ 2A – two tone hot pink. This flat fender Army Jeep runs great and is lots of fun. It has been kept in a garage or under shelter for the last 8 years. It has been converted from the original 6 volt system to 12 volts and has new breaks on it. It is an eye catching head turning vehicle they people go crazy over taking pictures of it with their cell phones and cirling back to get another look at it. It was painted hot pink by the previous owner in KC who modeled it after Elvis’ jeep he saw at Graceland. The exact milage is unknown.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The rear part of the body is from a CJ-5 or M-38a1.
“’42/’43 Model. Front and rear body are different model but match nearly perfect. Motor runs great (starts easily, does not smoke). Drive train is OK, but shows some wear. Body is rough but no rust. I have title. I have used it as a ranch/hunting vehicle and is perfect for it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Here’s a fun Jeepster.
“1950 Willys Jeepster, title is a 46. This is a quick little car, that runs great, steers and stops like it should. No frills just a cool little drop top driver. I bought it as a basket case and replaced or rebuilt pretty much the entire car. This car is made to drive, no bull, just you the road and a V8 growl out the back from three inch pipes. You can spend time driving or waxing, if you’re a waxer car show guy, this is not your kind of car. I completed the car three years ago and it is 100% dependable.

Borg Warner 5 speed trans with 11” hydraulic clutch and S10 Blazer rear end.

New top, including wood bows, new side curtains, new upholstery, custom engine turned stainless instrument panel with new gauges and switches, new wiring harness, custom welded in floor pans, four seat belts.
I have a new project, and just too many cars, this one has to go. Call Dave @ 607-527-8847 for more info”
This was bought. Interestingly enough, it’s registered as a CJ-2L. You can learn more about it here.
