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: **SOLD** Was $1200.
(12/12/2018) Another aftermarket bumper. I’d like to know who produced these.
“1947 Willy’s Jeep project car. Has Chevy small block conversion with what I’m guessing is a 58-64 Chevy small block engine. Engine cranks but needs some work to get it running. Fun and cool 4×4 project to work on. As popular as jeeps are it’s not too often you see a Willy’s. Delivery available. Clean pink slip in hand”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(12/21/2017) As some mods. The windshield no longer folds down.

“Completely restored and gone through this year. Has clean Montana title. Comes with tires and wheels as shown along with original tires and wheels.
Medical circumstances make it necessary to part with this beauty. Sale price just covers actual cash spent in the restoration. Over 250 hours of my labor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7695
(12/24/2017) It could use a little work, but runs.
“This is a 1951 M38 Jeep. This vehicle has never been civilianized – it is still 24 volt. This is being sold as a project vehicle. The floors in this Jeep are solid. We did some of the major repairs here to present a running vehicle. This includes a new brake system (master cyl, wheel cyls, steel lines), new fuel tank, new steel fuel line set, a tune up, two new batteries, rebuilt carburetor and other small details. We also added new glass in the Windshield and brand new canvas seat cushions. ”
This “Seeing’s Believing!” ad was published on July 06, 1947, in the Wilmington Morning Star. I wish all the scanned newspaper ads came out this clear.
This ad for the Willys Mighty Farm Jeep and an associate demonstration was published in the Henderson, NC, Daily Dispatch on April 13, 1946.
From the same newspaper earlier in the month (April 06) was this teaser for the demonstration:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $11,000.
Looks good.

“selling my fully restored 1946 Willys jeep. 450 miles on it since total restoration. New everything.
Has factory GO DEVIL 4 cylinder engine. All stock except wheels and warn hubs.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2600.
Given the Meyer top, the plow, and the running condition, this might be a good price. the body is rough, but we’ve seen much worse.
“1962 CJ5 with original (or at least correct period) hydraulic lift plow.
Starts, runs, and drives. Plow operates as well.
It has F4-134 Hurricane engine and 3spd manual trans. High/Low on transfer case both working.
Factory heater. Hard top and doors (with roll up windows).
System was converted to to 12V including recent alternator which is charging as it should.
Frame is good, body has some patches and could use some more attention but plows just fine as-is.
Needs a brake pressure switch for brake lights to work but headlights and taillights are working.
Valve lash just adjusted and valve covers replaced.
Windshield has a crack but not leaking.
Bill of sale only – no title available.”
This is a project. I believe this has a Sears Deluxe aluminum top.

“1947 Jeep Willy’s great looking old school Jeep needs to be finished have no time to finish it comes with parts Jeep and extra parts”
This may be a 1946, based on the multiple data plates and the front Frame horns. It’s listed as a 1949.
