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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(04/09/09) Honestly, I’m not sure if that’s a paint job or paint peeling. The seller says this is a ’46, but the grille and body look more like they are an MB/GPW. so, the actual year of this vehicle might be earlier.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a solid looking CJ-2A with a CJ-3A windshield. Fruitland is only about 20 miles north from me.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep, 4 cylinder 4 wheel drive. It has a three speed transmission with a two speed Warren overdrive. The springs have been resprung. It has a full soft top in good shape, and it also comes with a bra top. Brand new all season radial tires. After market heater that really warms. New clutch, Runs great. Body in good shape, could use a paint job. Weak points: Windshield wipers needs one motor, bubble in hood (see photo), needs choke cable.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
(07/13/2010) This looks like a solid CJ-3B.
“1961 jeep cj3b runs good $3000.00 or make offer.”

Thanks to Jim sending the link on this. Obviously, this is a rare event.
“1941 Bantam Reconnaissance Car (BRC-40). Restored – starts, run, drives great. The vehicle was originally purchased and restored by a pretty well known figure in the Bantam Auto Club circle sometime in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I have a one page letter from this person detailing his efforts to obtain and restore the vehicle (which I will give to the buyer). It passed through a few owners until my purchase in 2001. Over the years I have upgraded/corrected various pieces and parts. It comes with a few spare parts, manuals, and a top.
The vehicle is 99%+ complete and accurate. The body tub is original – ie. not a reproduction like many others out there. The items that I believe are incorrect (or missing) are:
The choke and throttle knobs are the not the early “bulls-eye” type – although I have what I believe to be one correct replacement.
The oil pan does not have a skid plate – although I have a correct, original oil pan with skid plate that needs to be cleaned up and attached.
The rear tool box lid locks are incorrect.
The reflectors are of the King-Bee type (as used on the FORD GP) and I believe should in fact be Triflex SR-71s.
When I purchased the vehicle, it had a reproduction windshield frame. It was a pretty accurate copy, but a reproduction nonetheless. I sold it to another BRC-40 owner and acquired an original frame a few years back. It needs some work (arms straightened, etc and needs the latches to the cowl when in its upright position), but it’s in pretty nice condition. In fact, it has most of its original paint.
The front bumper is an OK reproduction, but I acquired a much better replacement from Ken Hake which has the correct rivets and hand crank guide.
Lastly, in the spirit of full disclosure, I am not sure the front leaf springs are correct/original. They may be correct, but again, I am not 100% sure. Lastly she needs a good bath – she has sat in my barn with my other vehicles for the past nine years and has collected a coating of dust and dirt. It was near freezing when I took the photos – I put a new battery in her and she started right up. Lastly, after sitting for nearly nine years, the brakes are a bit mushy. I’ll see if I can rectify this prior to sale (no promises).”

UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $5,500.
(05/25/09) This is a great looking M-38. Lots of nice, simple details.
“This one of a kind M38 is a must see. Hours have been spent creating this fun yet functional ride. This is a 1951 Willy’s M38 Flat Fender (Korean War Era) that has been fully restored to street driveable. Engine: V6 Buick 235ci (1977 Olds Starfire). Chrome Edelbrock valve covers,
Suspension: Dana 25 Front , Dana 44 Rear with what I belive are the original leaf springs. Both differential covers have been replaced with chrome covers and the front diff has a powder coated half Spider rock guard (from Purple Cranium). Rancho 5000 shocks have replaced the original shocks. Transmission: 3 Speed T90 with a Dana 18 transfer case. Steering: Saginaw.”
That’s one tall roll bar.
“rebuilt motor , driveline, suspension, brakes; works excellent; garaged; rust free uncut; original; low mileage; needs paint; e-mail or call and leave a message 520-219-0994.”

I don’t see too much rust on this. It might be a good price.
“Willys Wagon four wheel drive. All original, 67K miles, interior complete and in good shape, dash not chopped up, 226-6 flat head runs good, just changed oil and replaced fuel pump. 4WD , twin stick transfer case works good, lock outs work good. Body is in okay shape, has “Willys Rust” . Extra complete motor and misc. parts, service manual included. Good clear title. I bought it as a project earlier this year and started to work out the bugs. Got it running and driving pretty good just needs a little more TLC. Enthusiasts preferred, I want to see the Willys go to someone who can keep it alive.”
