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 .
There looks to be some value here.

“This is a project M38. It came with another jeep that I purchased. It has many of the necessary parts but pretty much everything needs to be done. But, it’s a cheap starting point and it’s an M38 which are getting harder to find. I think that the pictures should answer most questions. No title. Bill of Sale only.”
Andy shared this cut down wagon that looks like a “Tender” wagon. It’s listed as a 1949, but actually looks to be 1960 or later.
“parting out a 1949 willies jeepster. frame is actually solid believe it or not. motor has oil, transmission seems to be shift through gears. cab is shot but doors are solid! email zip code for shipping quotes. nightcrawlertow.com”

(08/28/2022) This appears to be a 1942 GPW chassis with a CJ-3B replacement body.
https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/columbia-city-jeep-willys-cj3b/7523110778.html
“Jeep Willys CJ3B, Titled as a 1942 GPW Ford because of the frame, the body is a CJ3B. 1969 Camaro SBC 327 Transmition is a Ford close ratio toploader . New tires and wheels, Runs and drives, very fun and quick, great for cruising, clean and clear or title, just have too many toys. Send your phone number if you are interested in buying.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was No Price
(08/28/2022) This might have a DJ-3A or a replacement body. The looks to be a V-6.
“I don’t have many details about the motor and trans, it is not running, but all parts you need are there, transmission and transfer case are installed in the jeep, I would have both rebuilt. It’s not a rust bucket and can be restored”
I spotted this concept vehicle document on eBay. It was so unusual, I thought I’d snag it. Each of the pages is within plastic, which seemed strange, too (see first pic). Anyone have more information on this? Note the use of the Corvair engine and other parts.
The shape of the car seems similar to that of a Studebaker Avanti (sold a few years earlier) or the later American Motors Corp’s concept AMX-GT, built prior to the merger between AMC and Kaiser-Jeep.
Each page of document is bound within plastic, making it much thicker than it needs to be.
Barney noticed that this CJ-3A has a non-punched governor hole that looks slightly different from a standard stock body. This *might* be another item to look for in an aftermarket body. He noted that he isn’t 100% sure this green body isn’t stock, but it’s something to look for when reviewing a jeep.
Anyone else notice this on aftermarket bodies? Or, anyone notice that the shape of the stock stamp changes over the years, making this observation less dependable for spotting aftermarket bodies?
This photo of a red body is Barney’s jeep with a non-stock body. Now how rounded the surface of the bump is:
This is the green body from this post. It too appears rounded on the surface (and the inside looks like it has additional texture):
Note that the green body seems to be missing the “notch” along the top seam of the dash, which suggest also this isn’t a stock body .. see notch above hand brake in pic below.
This is a stock 1947 CJ-2A body. The Governor bump is flatter:

This Warn brochure collection sold yesterday for $242 on eBay (I was the second highest bidder). There are a few brochures I hadn’t seen before, but most I have. The inclusion of several San Angelo Die Casting brochures was interesting as well, such as the “East Cook Camping Unit”.
