About eWillys
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.
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 .
(06/14/2012) Am I missing something here? $5000 for this? I agree, the body looks good, though this doesn’t have a tailgate like it should. And, it seems to be missing leg room for the back seat passengers. And, it requires some assembly. And, … well, you get my point.
“Very nice original jeep virtually no rust. sits on sand blasted frame set up fo sb chevy have rebuilt 327 never run. complet stock frame with axles, 4 cyl engine, trans drive shafts.

“This Jeep has been in my family since the early 1960’s and was used for hunting. It was purchased from Archer Brothers in Hayward CA. It will go anywhere you point it. Comes with a Warn 8000 lbs. winch. For the hunter, this Jeep is perfect. Unlike a side by side, this is street legal and will take four people just about anywhere your gutsy driving will take you. The motor runs great but needs to be painted. The body is ok but has many small dents from previous hunting trips. For the restorer, it could use bodywork, fresh paint on the motor, and new upholstery on the seats.
The Jeep was torn down to the frame and sand blasted, primered, and painted with PPG epoxy gloss black paint.

All original with diesel? I did a little research and there is a rumor that a few M-38A1s destined for export had diesels in 1952 (http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4725). If that really did happen, then I suppose it is possible that a M-38 could have had one installed as well. However, I have seen no other evidence to support this.
“Testing the waters with this all original 4 cyl. diesel.”
“1949 Willys wagon. $650 or first reasonable offer. Has clear title. Very complete but VERY rusty. Engine turns over but I have not been able to get it to start. I am trying to clear out projects I cannot get to. Please email for more info. and then I will give you my phone number. Once again, there is ALOT of rust in the rockers on this. I have spare solid doors and I believe a tailgate as well. Could use for parts, or as a challenge to your metalworking skills.”
It is rare when a seller writes that a jeep is more than 90% restored and it actually looks more restored than that. Looks good.
“This is a 90% restored military jeep with everthing, simulated Gas firing 50 Cal M2H machine gun, water cooled 1919 30.cal,thompson M1A1 sub machine gun, M1 garand,
colt 1911 , M20 bozoka with 2 dummie rockets , radios, fording kit and much more . All guns are dummies and leagel.I have restored Nilitary Jeeps for years. I have restored 52 over the last 20 years”
“1951 Jeep Willys — a classic! Hasn’t been driven for a while, but was running fine the last time it was driven. May need a new starter. Does not have e-brake, and needs a new transfer case for 4-wheel drive. Four new tires, new soft top, new set of 4 tire chains. I have a snowplow blade that works with it that I’d sell for $300 additional. Please call 303-823-9410 if interested. If we’re not at home, please leave a message.”
