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: Josh notes that this is a GPW body and parts.
Brett spotted this Jeep, listed as a 1947 CJ-2A. This clearly has, at the very least, a WWII body and front clip. The body looks in good shape.

The bad news is that this is located in the Bahamas. The good news a vacation in the Bahamas is priceless.

(04/28/2010) This has certainly been modified — there is still work to be done.

This looks pretty nice, but I can’t quite tell how original it is other than the non-original windshield.
“This is a nice little jeep with a hard to find wagon. The engine is a 4cyl. and the transmission is a 3spd. It is a 4×4 with lowlock. It runs good and has good brakes. It is stock. The wagon is an army with front brake lock. The owner can be contacted at 812-936-9192 for a complete detail of the jeep and wagon. Also you can email me with your question or phone number. The owner is asking $3500. OBO. for this combo. He may also consider taking trades. Thanks”

Jim spotted this good looking restoration project. It runs, too.
“Needs a complete restoration, I have started it, the engine sounded excellent, very quiet, I have original seats frames, gas tank, windshield frame etc, very straight dash, cowl, nose etc, tub needs a little work, is a very original complete, very rare willys MB. Have a clean AZ title, make offer etc must sell.”

I’ve seen lots of ‘hood bumps, but never anything like this. That said, the body appears in good shape. Given where the handle bar is located on the dash, I’m wondering if this is an early body that doesn’t have the glove box?

A reader spotted this unusual deal. That MB looks solid and appears stock. The seller incorrectly lists the MB as a M-38. This seller is also selling a Jeepster.
“4 Willys Jeeps For Sale. All Jeeps run good and have the original engines. One is a 1961 Willys Jeep set up for a service station with a steel plow and complete hydraulic plow package. The second is also from the early 1960’s and set up for a service station, and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The third Jeep is also from the early 1960’s and has a hydraulic plow hook-up. The last Jeep is a 1950 or 1951 M-38 Military Jeep. All four Jeeps are complete and they all have some rot and rust. All four Jeeps are ready for restoration. I’m moving and can’t take these vehicles with me. $5,000.00 or best offer for all four Jeeps or make an offer for each Jeep separately. No e-mails please. Call (347) 203-9631.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(04/17/2010) Here’s an ad that was hiding under “willis”
“

This appears to have been sold.
“1945 military jeep frame. Has several rusty areas but someone may want the turrat mount. It also has a j2-134 Braden capstan winch on the front. If interested I can get some pics.”
