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: This was a great price at $500. It sold quickly.
There’s likely some good value here. If I had the space, I would tow this one home on our return from NM.
“Runs and drives. Has oil leak on manifold. No clear title but I have it. Be a great parts jeep. 225 buick engine.”
Justin is selling his CJ-5. It runs and has a fiberglass body.
“Cj5 for sale, recently rolled, do not have time to fix a few odds and ends. Needs windshield, hood and right fender. Still starts right up. Fiberglass tub in good shape. Would make a good mud/woods jeep or project. 35″ tires, have title, hardtop and doors”

Seller erroneously describes the M-38A1 as an MB and the cj body as a 1942.
“1942 Willy’s jeep body flat fenders hood windshield seats fuel tank grille and frame. Have title and currently registered.
1953 mb runs and drives no paperwork.
Extra windshield 2 roll bars.
Package deal $2500 obo.”

Could be a good price.
“1 CJ2A tub, ’46-’48, no dataplate, does require some love (don’t they all). Comes with another tub, from tool box forward are from a 46, with data plate, the bed is from a later model and is fairly rotted out. Also has 1 set of fenders, hood, grill, tailgate. Buyer takes it all, $300 OBO”

No pics and little description.

Has updated drive train. Not sure how much MB is left.
“1942 Willys jeep flat fender has a 302 v8 needs some work runs good”

There appears to be some parts value here.
“1976 Jeep CJ5. Ford 289 v8 with Ford 4-speed manual transmission, custom adapter, Jeep transfer and diff’s. $1000 + 94.00 tax. ”

Bob’s gathering was this past weekend. He shared these photos. Looks like it was great weather for the event.
Dallas found this serial number on his body. Based on this thread, we believe it indicates an aftermarket body. Has anyone else run across similar numbers on their CJ-5 bodies?
He wrote, “I’ve got a 1959 CJ5. It has the typical serial number data plate on the driver side firewall in the engine bay, but in addition, it’s also got a serial number stamped directly into the firewall on the passenger side in the engine bay. Neither the location nor the number format itself are ones I’ve seen before on other CJ5s. Have you ever seen a number there? I’m wondering if it might mean I have an aftermarket tub.”
UPDATE II: Another of these surfaced in 2019.
(12/18/2016) Rudy just purchased this rare and unusual O.C. Szekely-built Ford powered four wheel drive APU. It’s got a an Szekely badge and an O.E. Szekely stamped transmission. I don’t recognize the transfercase, which falls to the driver’s side rather than passenger side.
Thanks to some careful research, Rudy discovered that this vehicle was one of eight deliver to the military on August 25th, 1953. Specifically, “”The vehicle is a specially built two passenger 4X4 truck powered by a FORD eight cylinder engine. . . . A generator mounting chassis, located between the seats, supports the two generators and generator drives” and the “transmission that incorporates the transfer case is designed to transfer engine power to the generator drive”. O. E. Szekely dropped off eight of these vehicles to a shipping service on August 25th, 1953.”
