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 .
Having felt this way myself, I enjoyed this poster’s response to some cj5 ad he’d seen on Craigslist.
“Just a friendly reminder from a Jeep historian, the oldest possible “jeep” was the 1940 MB prototype from the Bantam motor company
http://www.bantamjeepfestival.com/about/history/
The following years 56 66 76 are all possible for the cj5 see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeep_CJ#CJ-5
So please for the love of the GP gods, put the right year on it

This seems like a good price.
“It spent the first 50 or so years as an Eastern Oregon farm truck. I bought it in Milwaukie OR when I lived there, and brought it to WA when we moved. It has passed it’s WSP VIN inspection and is currently licensed and insured. It registered with a year of manufacture 1947 license plate which makes it a collector car with no annual fee to operate it on the roadway.
Yearly insurance at it’s current value is less than $150 a year if you keep it inside a garage.
You’ve always wanted a fun car, a hobby car, something to play with on the weekend, and this little guy can fit that bill perfectly.
I have removed the tow bar from the front bumper, but it will go with the jeep when sold.
Send me an email if you’d like to come take a look, or go for a ride.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This looks solid, but no good side pics of the jeep. Contact the seller for more pictures.
“1954 Jeep M38A, manufactured by Willys Overland. Body GREAT shape! Had fuel pump re-manufactured by Kaiser Willys this spring, and have had her out for a few drives. Cannot tell you how many people stop to talk to us about her! We are currently waiting for 24v coil and distributor, as she is running little rough. Still has most of 24v system, but someone replaced the cool with 12v, just not enough juice. She had belonged to my Dad, but he passed away in 2009 and we are thinking he may have been starting to go to 12v system. We wanted to keep at 24v to stay original.
Asking $7000. willing to entertain other reasonable offers, partial cash and trade, or complete trade. This is in really good shape. we really have debated keeping or selling, but, its just not practical for us right now, and I know there is someone out there who would really like to have this!
Interested in: jet skies/Wrangler/trailer or camper/Decent car or truck or other reasonable offers! Let me know if you have something that you think might spark my interest…but, be realistic!”
UPDATE: Price now $6000. Was no price.
(04/03/2013) Given the tilt grille, this is more likely a 1952 M-38A1.
“I have a 56 m38a1 army jeep made by Willys. All original runs good tag and register in California ready to go. Looking to trade for a land cruiser or Unimog. You can reach me at 916-879-3384”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
This appears to have some early power-loc hubs. The jeep is missing a few things (head light bezels and parking brake for starters).
“A lot of new parts on it, good shape, lots of extra parts & manuals. New tires-including spare.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This is a project. The grille lights suggest this is not a ’46.
“This CJ2A is a great project and is in amazing condition for being 67 years old. It was discovered in a Georgia barn. I bought it three years ago and have had it in my garage since towing across the country. It is very close to stock with all matching numbers, including the tailgate. It is very rare that you find a CJ2A with all matching numbers. The engine needs an entire rebuild and was opened up some time back and rust has taken hold. All parts can be purchased as original or remanufactured for reasonable prices from places like Walcks. I bought it and planned to restore it but have not had the time. I have to move out of state and can’t bring it with.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
“Project Jeep all original with its original windshield.”
I thought I’d listed this one already, but guess not. Engine not included.
“1947 willys cj2a. The motor is not included but the transmission and transfer case are still in it. It comes with the steel hard top and doors but is not currently on it. The body needs some rust repair but is a good project with a solid frame. I have a title in hand that matches the vin on the body and frame. 900.00 obo. I do not respond to emails, call for info. 5 7 zero- nine 9 4- 5 7 5 five.”

UPDATE: Now No Price. Was listed at $5500.
The work looks good, but the frontend design is unexpected. Those old dogs look in good shape.
“I have a built from ground up 1944 Willys Jeep, it has a regular jeep frame and Willys body, extremely nice, never seen rain or anything, garage kept. NO TITLE, but can get a builders title. Have over $13,000 invested in it. Will sell for $3500 OBO, motivated seller. If live at far distance and unable to pick up, will deliver for fee. You can call/text 618-917-7777, for any questions you may have. tHANKSs”

Sunday evening we’ll be traveling to Burlington, VT. From there we’ll be going through the NY Mountains to reach Oswego, NY, monday night. Why Oswego? I am hoping to find out more about the two women who did the around-the-world tour in an FC. They were teachers at the University there.
Tuesday night we’ll land in the Buffalo/North Tonawanda area. If I can get a good price, we’ll stay there a week. We’ll be preparing for the Bantam Festival and our trip home.
Leaving (A) Hollis Center, ME, in the afternoon. Arrive at (B) Burlington, VT, Sunday evening. Arrive at (C) Oswego, NY, Monday Evening. Arrive at (D) Buffalo, NY, Tuesday evening.
