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: **Status Unknown** Was $4500
(10/17/2014) The steps have been updated, but looks like a solid 3B.
“1954 Willy Classic Jeep. 4 cylinder Ford motor 4 wheel drive, runs good. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(12/03/2013) I see nothing to indicate it’s earlier than 1947, but it does look good.
“This is a 1948, not a 1945 as my add previously stated. I made a mistake when originally posting..
All original drive train. Has overdrive. Mechanically perfect, needs nothing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(07/03/2015) Maybe worth a look? Dash might be funky, as the part surrounding the gauges is a different color.
“1954 Jeep CJ-3B. Excellent running condition. Recently rebuilt transfer case. Less than 7,000 miles on rebuilt engine. Comes with two tops; white vinyl soft top and black bikini top. Tires in excellent condition.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/2014) Looks in good shape. I think this includes a CJ-5.
“1948 jeep restored about 10 years ago. One of the nicest around and made so a bigger guy can drive it. Turns on a dime. Too nice for the hills. But made to go hunting if that’s what you want. Nice comfortable high back seats make for comfortable ride. and has a S 10 tire rack on the back. Bikini top as well as a full soft top. Radio needs to be reinstalled. No biggy there. Drives smooth with 1200 dollars worth of wheels. And matching spare. $8500. It is one of the nicest CJ3A’s around. You won’t find one this nice for this price. And no diamond plate so no rust has been cover up. Heater fan does need to be reversed. Price is firm. Has sat for over a year. Has roll bar and is gun metal grey. I just don’t drive it or the 55 CJ5 with a snow plow so both need to go. Both have 4 cyl. engines.”

A similar version of the photo was sold on eBay in May of 2015.
“1942- Pulled by a quintette of jeeps instead of reindeer, Santa Claus rides a tank at Fort Knox. This was the Christmas greeting from the men of the armored force. Name “Yardbird” is painted on lead jeep. The others look to have names as well but I can’t make them out.”

(05/24/2015) “Jeep is not currently running, but the motor is not locked up. It shouldn’t take much to get it going again. I am selling it for my dad. If you are interested, it is best that you come look at it, because I don’t know that many details about it including the engine size and year..”

Mike shared a Facebook link for this video, which was floating around the different jeep groups. Here’s the youtube version.

This 1952 Video by Warner Pathe News follows the M-38 and Diamond Reo M-34 underwater. After these tests, you’d expect Willys would have sold Willys Scuba Gear.
