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: **SOLD** Was $3500.
The body looks rough, but the gearing running gear sound like a good combination.
“Buick v6,newer eldelbrock 4 barrel carb,sm420 four speed,Dana 18 transx,4.27 gears, Both are open. Has bfg 33in tires on it. Power steering and power brakes. Soft top and doors.all gauges work.electric fan. Nice hunting jeep or good starter wheeler. Runs good. 3500 obo.”
This looks in good shape, but there has likely been some work done along the bottom of the passenger side.

Not totally original, but not bad either. The jeep was appraised at $17k? The seller needs to ask for his money back on that appraisal.
“You can see this rig close up at the U Park located at the corner of Badger & Old Rich by Forbes Storage Complex and Gloy’s Thai Food To Go
.
Excellent Original Condition. Runs excellent, under 500 miles on newly rebuilt original flathead 4 motor, comes complete with Snow Plow, Matching Willy’s Trailer, and a truckload of spare parts including Spare Tires, Chains.tool box, gerri cans, ball winch, soft top, hard top, start up accessories, and a whole buch more.
The Jeep alone has been appraised at 17K, not counting all the extras. A real 49er deal if ever there was one! Limited time to buy this complete set up! A perfect opportunity for a restorer or any enthusiast!
Will trade for Gold , Silver , Cash, or a combination of the three.

No pics provided.
“Nice jeep new starter, alt, water pump, extra tranny call me 636 Two Nine 6 2163 leave message i will call back”
This looks like a solid M-38. It still runs 24 volt.
“I am selling my 1951 military willys jeep. The tub is all original as is the motor and it has O rust. The floors are as solid as when they came off the production line. It is set up with the 24 volt system and has 2 new batteries. The tires and tubes are in brand new condition and i do have a spare tire and rim. It comes with a as i was told old new stock canvas top. The bows on the jeep are new and yet need to be painted. The wiring in the jeep does need to be redone as it is the original wiring. the wiring is good for starting and stopping the engine. The engine is solid and starts and runs beautifully. The high and low 4 wheel drive work great as does the 2 wheel drive. The jeep has a couple spots that for some odd reason were spray painted black but that is a easy fix with a can on military match spray paint. I am a ww2 reenactor and i was going to use this jeep but i decided to go with a motorcycle instead. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 616-450-2194 ask for Tim. If you are a craigs list scam artist dont waste my time with your ass wipe offers. thanks for looking”
