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 .
Sebastian forwarded this to me today. This is great!
“While driving in Antioquia Colombia my dad found this electric Jeep. It is smaller than normal size and the owner (see picture) is asking for about $3700 US dollars. It is a pure home-made Willys. Only in Colombia!!”
The Art of the Jeep: From Propoganda to Advertising was published recently. I spotted this on eBay, but the best price on this appears to be through Amazon.com. Has anyone purchased this?
ART OF THE JEEP, THE: From Propaganda to Advertising
UPDATE: Was listed on eBay.
(10/24/2012) This is a new knife, not a vintage knife. I’m a bit surprised at the price, which is $142 as of this post. But then, I am no knife expert.
“A NEW In The Box Case XX Amber Bone Trapper Knife with A Color Scrimshaw Scene that I have just finished of an old Willys Jeep and a fisherman sitting on his Canoe. I signed and dated this knife on the bottom right. A Certificate of Authenticity that I will sign and date will be sent with the knife.
Please Note: When I do Color Scrimshaw, I do NOT paint the color on top of the design. I re-cut every line where each color is to go and apply those colors down into the cuts. This is a very time consuming process, but one in which I feel the results are well worth the added effort.
I have, in my opinion, a very low starting bid with NO RESERVE, so you collectors can decide what this knife is worth.
The knife measures: 4 1/8″ closed”
UPDATE: Was ‘For Trade’. **SOLD**
This seller has not put the title into his name yet. This appears in good shape.
“I have a 1957 Willys DJ3A i would like to trade for a different project (i would like to get a 50s ford, chevy or dodge truck but will look at all), I have the original title in hand, i have not put it into my name yet because i was not sure what i was going to do with it and thought being the second owner of a rig meant something anyhow the Willys runs and drives, when i got it he started to convert it to 12 volt so it now runs and charges 12v but all the lights are still 6 volt so it will need to be rewired for 12v. it has min rust on the hood only the tub and rest of the body is straight with out rust. every thing other than the 12v system is original equipment. let me know what you have to trade, i would sell it but i cant seem to find a value on line for this to set a price so i will only trade for fear of getting the short end of the stick or giving someone els the short end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is missing a few M-38 related items, but might be a solid jeep.
“Vehicle is in good shape, runs well. Excellent condition for restoration project or just use as is. The seat frames were stollen, so new owner would have to buy new frames or adapt newer seats. Engine was rebuilt a few years ago, so there are very few miles on it. New brakes and cylinders. It has the original carb. I am trying to get more pictures on, but having much success. Will attach pictures to email on request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
It need some hat channel work, but looks good otherwise.
“1952 M38A1 Willys Jeep military Jeep.. Not hacked or butchered / civilianized. Still 24 Volt with 2 batteries. Rebuilt motor. Runs perfect. Has some of the typical rust / rot in hat channels. Not quite up to motor pool specs but fine for riding around / mil vehicle shows / parades. Has original siren, radio rack, convoy light. bridge plate, tow rope, and front lock out hubs. I have new Jeep panels plus side / rocker panels, gas tank tub replacement sheet metal. Has winter top with doors and side curtains. Currently registered used / driven on a regular basis for shows and parades. Like the hot rod Lincoln , the brakes are good and the tires fair. Looking to get $6500 which is fair for its condition and with all the accessories. Send e-mail for any questions or to set up appointment to see / drive vehicle. May be open to swap towards WW2 Dodge WC/ Command Car or MB / GPW Jeep. Send photos of what you have and what your thinking.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $5000.
With a flat, a lack of brakes and a broken windshield, this will need some work.
“It’s a decent truck that I don’t have time to finish. Starts and runs good. It would be driveable if it had brakes I haven’t had time to see what’s up with them. As you can see I haven’t had time to fix the flat on the front.
I have a brand new fuel pump for it that needs to be installed and both shifter boots that will go with it also. It has a clean title that is in my name. Feel free to ask any questions, or set up a time to come look it over.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
This includes some good body parts, though the grille is from a M-38.
“52 Willys Jeep , project and or parts. older chevy V8 conversion , engine does not turn over. body tub in rough shape. comes with a complete set of rot free front body panels, grill, fenders, hood, & windshield frame. also a wrangler radiator and tow bar. vehicle has a 52 willys title”
This has something installed on the front bumper, but I can’t see much due to the small pics.
“47 Willys CJ3. slightly later 4 cyl engine (OVH) /winch; good seats, heater, tool box, windshield wiper (for 1) has a little box like a pickup. serviceable paint – all one color no major dents. Runs fine ready to go. This thing climbs trees and wades streams but it willl not run highway speeds. It has hauled out moose, elk, and deer. Excellent tires back window panel rolls up and ties so you can shoot from 3 sides. Decent seats. (recovered – ok job). curved steel roof. Professionally built.”
