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 .

I just found an earlier posting for this Jeep I had done last year. It was priced at $4600 in July 2009. So, the price has dropped quite a bit. It was listed as a 1952 at that time.
It appears someone has put some money into this build. It looks like it comes with a winch and nice cage. Replacing the brakes is a pretty cheap project. This might be a steal!
“This was confiscated in lieu of debt from an old friend in 2005. The last time it drove was 2006…from Minco to Bridgecreek. It drove GREAT…although it had and still has no brakes. It’s only been started two or three times since then. I’m not mechanically inclined enough (or at all) to get it running to sell for more. It definitely needs a new fuel pump, carbeurator cleaning, plugs, and new lines in and around both…as they spew fuel when running. I believe the gas tank to be the culprit for the fuel problems…its rusted out pretty good. New Tires, Winch, Motor Rebuilt in 2003. Please give me a holler if you’re truly interested. I encourage you to come take a look. I can get a hold of some more pictures if needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

This appears to be a very good price, especially for an eastern US Jeep. I suspect the body is a replacement body.

Well, I completely blew it. I’m ashamed, embarrassed. Truly, I wasn’t thinking clearly. Too much stuff was clogging my brain tunnels to put the pieces together. Here’s the sad, brief tale …
Late yesterday afternoon the ‘staff’ (also known as Brett) at the Utah Bureau of eWillys spotted a great deal: A 1948 flattie for only $1000. It appeared almost completely stock, with no obvious rust, though there was plenty of paint oxidation.
It had unusual bezels, a CJ-3Aish windshield, a cutout for a breather on the passenger side of the hood and hooks on the front. It was an odd combo of a M-38, a CJ-3A and titled with a year of 1948. Also, strangely, it had no willys script on the hood that I could see.
My gut said go get it. My practical side said no, so I put it out of my head. I should have listened to my gut, because after thinking about, I now realize it was CJV-35U that was running, extremely stock (except for the installation of the bench seat), and in great shape.
OHHH THE PAINNN!!!! How did I not put those clues together? Unfortunately, only an hour or so after I made my decision not to get it, it disappeared from the KSL classified list. So, the decision was made for me and I put it out of my mind. It wasn’t until this morning that I realized how big my mistake had been.
Alas, this too shall pass, slowly, painfully, like a kidney stone.
Here’s a perfect example of what it looked like (I didn’t get the chance to download the pics of it). Imagine this, unrestored, without the breathers for the intake and exhaust … and with a hardtop: http://www.cj3a.info/sibling/cjv35u/photos/p158.html (or click on the above link)
