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 .
The body looks rough.

“1952 CJ3A N Title. Decent shape runs and drives ok. Body is prety solid, no rust holes. Floor has been patched and has some aftermarket parts but still looks like a military Jeep”
The seller also lists prices for buying them separately. The 2A is listed as a 1952, but it looks to have some 2A attributes, such as the radiator, so the year may be incorrect (Or it is a 2A+3A).

“2 Jeeps, 1-1952 CJ2A $3800, and 1- 1952 M38A1 $6200, both have many many new parts, I got them both and were not running, my goal was to get them running whicih I did, now it’s time for someone else to take them to the next level, both start, run and drive, would take $9500 for both,”
It’s a project, though a good amount of work has been completed. Also includes a new tub.

“1952 Jeep Willys for sale, drive train completely rebuilt, new engine block professionally built, all new brakes, transmission rebuilt, front and rear differentials rebuilt, new rims no tires, new rear body (Tub), chassis sandblasted primed and painted. Don’t have a title and can’t find VIN tag or VIN on the frame. Asking $5,000 or best offer.”
Doesn’t run at the moment, but has potential. It appears the cargo area has been lengthened. Note the photo that shows the underside of the body near the rear of the frame. You can see the body sits several inches behind the normal rear of the frame. Moreover, a couple pics show what appear to be patches on the top of the rear wheel wells. There is no side shot that really shows how it looks after being lengthened.

“49 Jeep Willlys. Complete and ready to restore. Previous owner said he rebuilt the tops end. I have new file tank and radiator but have not installed. Not running currently but the Jeep is complete. Not missing any parts. Surface rust only except on tail gate. Clean Nevada title in my name. Will deliver locally”
This has a replacement body, but I think it might have been an M-38. The windshield is shorter, like a CJ-3B, but with an unusual scallop. I don’t know if this is custom or aftermarket.

“1952 Jeep Willys 4×4 350 automatic transmission 3.8L V6 Clean title and registered till Nov Beautiful restored jeep Engine runs strong 33” tires Only issue are the brakes, the pedal hits the steering wheel column so it needs to be positioned better. They’re drum brakes so they’re stiff but they do work, I used to drive this thing around. I just don’t have the time or money to fix anymore.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/26/2022) Unclear if the diamond plate is protecting the body or covering issues.

“Soft top, snow plow blade, miscellaneous parts. Consignor states no brakes. Odometer Reads: 77,792 VIN: 451GB135030”
I can’t tell if the $8k price includes the roof rack or not, but it certainly is an interesting piece. The seller provides an extensive list of parts added and work done.
