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 .
This runs. Looks a bit tired.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(04/28/2012) The body may be solid, but it’s been patched along the driver’s side.
“1948 Willy’s CJ2A Jeep. Needs head gasket, which is easy to replace on Flathead 4-cyl. I just have no time. Body is solid with some rust, which is expected for a vehicle that was built in 1948. 4wd works great. Soft top setup. E-mail for more details or if you would like to stop by and take a look. Located in SW Roanoke City.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This appears in good shape. It has early fenders and the early grille.
“1952 Willys M38A1 jeep. This jeep runs great. Original 4 cylinder doesn’t smoke or seem tired at all. 4 speed transmission T-98. Windshield frame is off but goes with the jeep. It isn’t perfect but is very reliable and an excellent hunting vehicle. Lock-rite lockers front and rear and excellent tires. It will crawl up everything”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
This is a project.
“I have a 1946 Jeep Willys it’s a project Jeep. it has a Chevrolet 4.3 Vortec motor also has the original t90 3 speed transmission and twin stick transfer case. brand new clutch kit. I have done a disc brake conversion to the front also have an extra set of axles complete front and rear. things I don’t have to complete the job or a fuel tank, brake lines, the steering needs to be finished, exhaust, seats need to be installed. the body is a little rough too.the frame has been sand blasted and primered.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(05/18/2012) Nice looking jeep though. There is another rolling chassis behind it, too.
“I have known this jeep since 1971. High school friend of mine drove it when we worked at Kroger’s (1971-1974), he drove it to High School. I rode in this Jeep many times when I was younger. His family owned it from the late 1950’s until my Dad bought it around 1998-2001. Body, motor and all major parts are original to this jeep. My friend’s dad bought it from the WV Dept of Highways Surplus sale in the late 1950’s-early 1960’s and used it on his farm. When he bought it, “Corry Naval Base” was stenciled on the cowl, this is how it was when the State of WV received it after the war. I believe this Naval Base is in Florida(Pensacola I believe). I have receipts of paint and body work alone, that total over $16,000…not counting other work, that was done to the jeep.”
This 8×10 photograph shows an early CJ-2. Note the “JEEP” on the hood in place of the later “WILLYS”. Also note the position of the spare tire.

Popular Science published an article on September 25th about this 1962 Wagon, updated on the inside, but stock on the outside. Below is a picture of the same wagon with Gerald and his kids in front of it at this year’s Bantam Festival.
Yesterday Steve shared a photo of this ceramic wagon model of his ’57 Sedan Delivery Wagon that he created when he was 18. It is 12″ in length.
He wrote, “I made the wagon the first year at Jr. College. There was a ’57 Chevy I though was pretty cool made in a previous class. So, I did a “self portrait”, sort of….. My Willys Wagon was my “wheels” until I got a real job, as opposed to summer jobs. The engine when bad, so I parked it and bought my first FC-170 in ’82. I drove that through my University days. Everyone called it the “garbage truck”. I was in the sailing club and very few had a vehicle that could tow the boats on weekend saildays. So, the garbage truck was one of the tow vehicles on the weekends, and on the two campouts each year. I’m sure everyone has fond memories of that ugly thing.
Now the ’57 wagon has it’s first paint job, and waiting to be assembled. The body is on the frame, but it not bolted down yet. The engine and transmission will be next….some day. I have too many projects in line at the moment.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**. It is similar to the Trailblazer.
Where was this when I was building models? This has desert dog-like tires, a stainless look, and some turbine rims!
