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 parts jeep, yes. A great parts jeep? Not so sure.

(09/30/2012) The seller sugests this is a M-38. I’ve sent the seller a note about this.
” This is a 1951 Model U.S. Army jeep in excellent condition. I do not know if the mileage is original. This is one the last of the flat fender jeeps. Introduced in 1950 at the beginning of the Korean war. Only 45,173 were made. Production ended in Sept of 1952. NO RUST! Has NDCC military tires, Has the Willys L4-134 “Go Devil” 60 HP engine which was the original for this Jeep. 6 Volt battery. Installed front seat belts. The drive train is in excellent operating condition. Drive it anywhere at 40 or 45 MPH. It can be flat towed. No trailer needed. The windshield wiper on the drivers side has a motor that operates the wiper. Had to install that because the State Safety Inspector mandated it. The passenger side wiper is original manual wiper. Successful bidder will need to arrange for shipping, or pickup vehicle. Location is near Ogden, UT. Sold as-is, where-is.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6300
(08/16/2011) This looks like a nice flattie.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
(10/05/2012) This hasn’t been driven since 1985. However, it has been garaged since then. The body is supposed to be solid. This may be worth a look.
“Classic Willys CJ-3A. This jeep has been in my family since the 1960’s. It was hauled from California to Idaho in the late 1990’s where it has been garaged until I recently brought it down to Clearfield to sell it. It has never seen a Utah "salty-road" winter, so the body and frame do not have the rust that you see on typical Utah Jeeps that are 30-40 years newer (body, floor, and frame are solid). I put in a running 289 engine (V8 out of a Rancho) with 302 heads (bored and ported) in it back in 1988 along with a new clutch and throwout bearing, but I remain time-challenged, so it remains unrestored. The mileage noted is actual for the entire jeep (with the exception of the engine). The last time this jeep was driven was 1985. The last time I started the engine was 1989.In addition to the upgraded engine, it comes with a roll bar, custom bumpers (front & back) with a tow hitch on the front, and (2) five gallon Jerry Cans. I will also throw in the full roll cage (custom bent for this jeep with heavy piping, but not assembled) along with a set of 4 tires and rims from a 1968 CJ5 (tires still have good tread). It has been a dream of mine since the mid-80’s to restore this jeep, but alas, we purchased running CJ5 for my son to use, thus we are looking for a good home for the 3-A where it can be restored to its former glory. I am asking $1,500 O.B.O. with the extra set of tires and rims or $1,200 without.”
Sebastian forwarded this to me today. This is great!
“While driving in Antioquia Colombia my dad found this electric Jeep. It is smaller than normal size and the owner (see picture) is asking for about $3700 US dollars. It is a pure home-made Willys. Only in Colombia!!”
The Art of the Jeep: From Propoganda to Advertising was published recently. I spotted this on eBay, but the best price on this appears to be through Amazon.com. Has anyone purchased this?

UPDATE: Was listed on eBay.
(10/24/2012) This is a new knife, not a vintage knife. I’m a bit surprised at the price, which is $142 as of this post. But then, I am no knife expert.
“A NEW In The Box Case XX Amber Bone Trapper Knife with A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have just finished of an old Willys Jeep and a fisherman sitting on his Canoe. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom right. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.
Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.
I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.
The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed”
UPDATE: Was ‘For Trade’. **SOLD**
This seller has not put the title into his name yet. This appears in good shape.
“I have a 1957 Willys DJ3A i would like to trade for a different project (i would like to get a 50s ford, chevy or dodge truck but will look at all), I have the original title in hand, i have not put it into my name yet because i was not sure what i was going to do with it and thought being the second owner of a rig meant something anyhow the Willys runs and drives, when i got it he started to convert it to 12 volt so it now runs and charges 12v but all the lights are still 6 volt so it will need to be rewired for 12v. it has min rust on the hood only the tub and rest of the body is straight with out rust. every thing other than the 12v system is original equipment. let me know what you have to trade, i would sell it but i cant seem to find a value on line for this to set a price so i will only trade for fear of getting the short end of the stick or giving someone els the short end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is missing a few M-38 related items, but might be a solid jeep.
“Vehicle is in good shape, runs well. Excellent condition for restoration project or just use as is. The seat frames were stollen, so new owner would have to buy new frames or adapt newer seats. Engine was rebuilt a few years ago, so there are very few miles on it. New brakes and cylinders. It has the original carb. I am trying to get more pictures on, but having much success. Will attach pictures to email on request.”
