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 .

“1974 Willys Jeep CJ2A – This Jeep just had a complete rebuild of the motor, clutch, transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, and a locker in the front diff. We also replaced the entire fuel system, it has a brand new fuel tank, fuel lines, and an electronic fuel pump. It has a 2-3″ lift, brand new 32-33″ mud terrain tires and brand new black wheels. We also just installed new front seats. The engine runs great. We would also consider trading our Jeep (plus cash) for a 4 seat Polaris RZR.”
This year’s Willys America Open House will be Saturday July 19th in Cazadero, California. We won’t be there this year as we have a family event that same weekend.
There’s a Caravan that will also be leaving San Francisco in the morning. You can learn more about their itinerary here.

Anyone get there photo in this CJ-2A yet? It’s located at the Asheboro Zoo in North Carolina. http://www.nczoo.org. This may be located in the kid zone, but I can’t tell for sure.
In 2010 this same jeep was located in a different part of the museum and draped with stuffed animals.
UPDATE: Was $4500. **Status Unknown**
Runs and drives.
“This is an early flat fendered Willys Jeep. Primitive and reliable. The CJ-3B has a higher hood to allow clearance for the overhead valve F-134 motor (early CJ-2s and WW2-type Jeeps had flat head motors). This is the 2nd CJ-3B I have owned. It runs and drives fine. It has an overdrive unit, and while it is not too smart to drive an old Jeep fast, it will do 65 mph. About two years ago, we replaced the entire braking system – master cylinder, wheel cylinders, drums shows, brake lines and silicone brake fluid – and installed an electronic distributor for reliability. The windshield has a crack, so it will need a new one. This Jeep is not perfect, but starts for me every time, and is generally very solid for a 60 year old Jeep. I have an after market tailgate and a few other small parts. Tires old, but have tread and hold air. I have a file of receipts that indicate extensive mechanical rebuilds in the ’80s – and not many miles since then according to previous owner. I have owned the Jeep for about 7 years.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.
It’s kind of Barbie-Jeep looking.
“Calling all Beach Barbies! Runs good! Cranks right up! Ready to cruise.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
Looks in good shape.
“Great 1955 M38A1 – owned it for just over a year and in that time have significantly improved the drivability and reliability of it. It is still 100% original, down to it’s 24volt system. 4 wheel drive will climb you up a tree. Runs and drives well, and feels like a 58yr old Jeep! Would be an ideal beach buggy(didn’t get a permit this year, or it would be!).
Most recent work includes:
Head completely reworked, new coil, new plugs, valves adjusted, etc.
Cosmetically it’s in great shape – especially considering it’s age. No significant rust, some surface rust on the frame – no big deal. I decided to have it repainted from it’s original OD Green to a mil-spec Sand Beige (a 3 stage PPG color). I’d say it’s a level above an amateur job, but certainly a 10 footer. A fantastic color though, one that you don’t see enough for this era of Jeep: hence why I had it repainted. The seats were also redone to factory original. Bimini too included.”
Appears solid. It has diamond plate laid in the rear cargo area.
“excellent Condition 3 speed trans with overdrive”
