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 $1200.
For the price this looks good, but either the step has been altered or it is a fiberglass body.
“1946 Willys for sale. Body good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
“1946 Jeep Willys. Engine upgraded to 1966 289 out of a Mustang or Fairlane. Starts, runs strong, but carb needs to be rebuilt. Converted to 12V DC. Converted to power brakes. Front Winch Bumper with tow-brace. Built in capstan winch in bed connected to power-take off, so runs directly off the 289. Rear bumper is a tow bumper with tow-truck grade fairlead welded to the factory original angle iron bumper. Has built in air compressor tank and system. New Radiator. New Master Cylinder. Brake lines are cracked, wheel cylinders are frozen, so needs complete brake job. Does have rust, have original seat frames, driver’s side failed due to rust. Have Title. Been a project for me, but moving so would like to sell.”
This runs and drives.

UPDATE: Jim notes that this CJ-5 is a very rare example of a 462 model CJ-5. You can see his comment about it below. I tried to find some pictures online of a closeup of the decal, but couldn’t find any.
Also, here’s a picture of Johnny Cash from a 1975 Christmas Album. It looks like it could be the same jeep.
I stumbled upon these neat old pics of Johnny Cash from the johnny–cash-infocenter.com website.
UPDATE: This has been relished on eBay.
Though it appears stuck in thick Tacoma area mud, there is an explicit declaration on the back of the photo stating that the jeep is NOT stuck.
“Up for sale is a 1958 Original B&W Glossy 7×5 Photograph taken by an Army Photographer and showing what I believe is a US Army Willys M38A1 (MD) Jeep in a Very Muddy Road with Id’d Soldier, most likely at Fort Lewis or Yakima Training Center in Washington State. Back is hand titled: Lloyd McClelland + jeep in mud. Not stuck. Taken while on hill duty. Year is based on some dated images in this collection. Any serious defects will be noted here [curved ends, light roughness to lower edge, old tape, minor tape? staining on back], but since condition is subjective, please enlarge photos & decide overall condition for yourself. This would make a wonderful addition to your collection.
ALL the images I have by this unknown US Army Photographer were taken in Washington State in 1958. However some of his military views do not give location info, so location is a best guess from what is shown. I also have several other Army / Air Force photos from this photographer on eBay.”
Unfortunately, the seller didn’t provide any of the pictures of the 3 page jeep pictorial spread from this magazine. The seller explains what the SALT Magazine was.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $200.
This is the first Parkette body I’ve seen unattached in 4 1/2 years of looking. The price is great. If I only had the space ….
“Willys Jeep CJ2/3 Fiberglass tub/hood/ fenders. The tub will need sanded down
then I would recommend patching every hole and then start from there.
