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 .
Seller lists this as a 1944, but I don’t see any WWII parts. The sale also includes an M-38 parts jeep.

“FOR SALE 1944 Willy’s Jeep

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9000.
Looks solid.
“1952, M38A1 Willy Jeep. Been in our family for over 30 years. Was just restored from top to bottom about 3 years ago and it was very expensive. But we sold our house and land and moving to the lake so we have no where to keep it”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $25,000.
A reader alerted me to this one. I am told it was recently listed at $10,000 by the former owner. It’s now listed at $25,000 by someone who appears to believe this is a WWII jeep. Maybe the $25k isn’t a serious price, as the seller is willing to negotiate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(06/20/2018) Listed as a “1946”, this may be an M-38 (at least it has that body). It includes a car hauler.
“1946 Willies with custom trailer runs and drives. good restoration or hunting jeep $5000.”
Listed as a 1943, it has rear floaters, but also has an MB/GPW body. The grille tilts, but the hinges are reversed. I suspect it’s an M-38 body on a WWII chassis.

“1943 willys Jeep

UPDATE: Price dropped to $495. Great price.
(08/08/2018) Seller wants to sell. Seems like a good price for the high person.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/pts/d/willys-jeep-bodies-with/6680079486.html
“I have a 1948 willys jeep body
1952 willys remanufactured body
A samurai rolling chassis with axles , transfer case , steering box , samurai steering column and driveshafts
1948 willys jeep frame
two windshield frames
Two hoods, tailgate, gas tank, and
one seat
Box full of gauges headlights instrument plate
My original plan was to put the 1948 body on the 1948 frame using the drivetrain from the samurai chassis. The 1952 remanufacture body was to be used to replace the floor and patching. Would be a killer deal for the right person.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
Looks like the battery box lid has been altered? I can’t quite tell. Seller describes the model as being an “MB”.
“1952 Willys Jeep (model MB) in great condition, 5,200 miles, was used in Koren war. $8500 OBO”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/11/2018) Lots of updates. Looks like a stout roll cage.

Listed as a “CJ3-2A”, it looks more like an M-38.
“Nearly all original 1951 Willys CJ3-2A. Garaged and well taken care of. Fires up everytime but is currently having some brake issues. Located in Ft. Peck. OBO”
The headline of the ad suggests it is a Wagon, but I suspect that has to do with the way the ad entry is setup.
https://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/4946253?ad_cid=7
“This is a functional, street legal 1952 M38. Runs and drives great.
Since I bought this two years ago, I:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Runs and drives. It would not be worth 10-15k with the original engine, as there have been other changes, such as the steering box addition.
“Body in great shape, org. trany, has a 350 chev. motor. runs good. if you put the org. motor in it , it would be worth 2 to 3x the value. must call cause I dont text,”
