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 .
Some OD paint would suit this well.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $5500.
This has the Perkins Diesel in it. Most pics of this are really small.
“This is a rare diesel engine willys jeep cj-5. Has a perkins 4 cyl engine lots of work already done runs great everything works”
These are nice to have.
“This is a new very correct and high quality pair of reproduction thumb screws. These are for mounting the windshield to the cowl brackets. THese have the correct long sholders so the main windshield frame can pivot freeley up and down. These are cast iron just like the originals. These were originally used on the MB and GPW WWII jeeps but will fit the CJ2A, CJ3A, Cj3B, and M38 as well. Excellent items for your jeep restoration. QTM”

“Original T84 Transmission, Bell housing and transfer case. Very good take out condition from this 1943 Willys MZ-1, MB radio jeep. Still USMC Forest Green! Tim.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900
(09/09/2012) Except the strange contraption on the front bumper this looks pretty stock. Of course, the paint scheme is odd.
“Old Willys Jeep. “L” head, 4-134 “Go Devil” engine rebuilt in the 1960s. Carter WO carb rebuilt last year. Frame is good, drive train is good. Body is solid but rough. New tires. Needs new springs all round. Comes with 4 extra wheels, homemade cloth top, and draw bar to tow it behind your vehicle. This Jeep would make a great restoration project or a hunting Jeep for running the woods.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
“A 49 Willys Jeepster with a early 283 chevy that turns freely auto transmission. Has seat frames and side curtain and 99% of trim. A good project and amazing wen completed. Bill of Sale only. In Aptos. Can deliver if necessary.”
I have a few more updates to do, but the Internet has
ceased functioning for the time being, so I am going to bed.
However, I thought I would share my find-of-the-day with you. It is
a jeep light/lamp that I found at a local good will. I put a hot
wheel on top for comparison.
This poor jeep is melting . . .
“For sale: 1940’s jeep willys parts I have the complete jeep just let me know what you need and I will let you know. I have a complete rolling chassis with motor that runs. all of the body work is shot the grill may be salvageable but that’s it. I have two front fenders that are extra that are in good condition. the jeep also has a homemade plow on the front. the plow itself is not homemade but the mount and the lift are. the lift is a manual hydraulic lift that you pump by hand between the seats. I tried it and it works. I did put a new 12 volt coil on it and a distributor cap and it started up. the carb needs tuned to run correctly but it will run and you can hear it if you want. I was going to use it as a woods beater with out the body but I do not have the time to mess with it. I will sell individual parts or whole but i have no title. I m asking $500.00 for all or we can discuss price on the parts you need. please no low ball offers for the whole thing I can take it to the scrap yard for not much less than what im asking. call: four12-five82-two318”

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(11/10/2012) This looks real nice.
“Up for auction is my 1952 unrestored, all original, M38 Willys Army Jeep. Yes, unrestored, all 100% original rare barn find. I have had this M38 for about 1 1/2 years now. This M38 was hidden under tarps and a carport for years! I can not tell you the history of the last 60 years other than what I have done to it to get her running! There are rebuild/service tags still on the M38 from the late 50s and early 60s! So with that being said, here are the thing I had to do to make sure she was 100% road worthy!
New water pump; (2) New batteries; Radiator checked, pressure tested and new filler neck; gas tank- brand new NOS original I had; brakes- all new shoes, lines, wheel cylinders, hoses, fittings, master cylinder; exhaust- after market new pipes and muffler (it needed a muffler more than anything, but I still have the original exhaust which will be included with the M38); transmission- all new fluid, pressure plate and clutch, gaskets; transfer case- inspected, looks great; both axles- new seals, gaskets, fluid, both in great condition; new knuckle front seals; all new 24v bulbs; one new drivers side headlight; tires- are original (4) Cooper Cross Country military tires (50% tread left still); spare tire- Denman original (New, never seen pavement or dirt); I’m sure I’m leaving something out, but please ask me.
Now, about the motor! After 2 months of working on the above mentioned list, I started the M38 up. It ran good, but not great. Because of the motor sitting so long, it has valve lash. I pulled the motor, went to get a valve job, but instead decided to rebuild the entire motor. So, the motor is entirely rebuilt with brand new everything!! Only 225+/_ miles on the motor since Feb., 2012! It was professionally done and have ALL receipts! Everything on the motor itself has been cleaned, repainted. Carb- rebuilt, new gaskets and cleaned. Distributor- new cap, points”
