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 .
Looks in good shape.

Bill shared this nice looking M-38A1. The jeep’s supposed to have only 4850 miles on it, but given the engine was likely pulled and painted (and rebuilt?) at some point, I find that claim hard to believe. Perhaps they are miles after engine rebuild? There are a few other clues that body parts were repainted as well at some point.
“1955 M38A1 Willys Jeep ONLY 4,850 original miles! I’ve had a couple of these and this one drives amazing. It is super complete with all of the knickknacks even the original 50 cal gun mount as you can see in the pictures ! Currently registered, clean clear CA title in hand.
Underwater hurricane engine !
It runs drives steers stops great all 4×4 has been tested and works great as well. Drives very nice for its age! no rust issues it is solid inside and out, you won’t be disappointed with this one ! I do have a original soft top side windows and soft doors, the doors and side windows are in pretty good shape but the soft top will need a little bit of work or replaced. This jeep is located in Yucaipa California .”
UPDATE: Sold. Was $2200.
Could be worth a look. Doesn’t run at the moment.
“1959 FC-170 Jeep. 6 cylinder with title ready to sign over. From what I know it has only had one owner since 1968. The truck does not currently run. It has the motor and trans though. From what I can see it seems to be pretty complete and the body is in great shape, very straight. Look at pics. The floor boards have very little rust, what you can see in the pictures is mostly dirt. Do not know the milage.”
Has some rust.

“1954 Jeep CJ3B. Has rebuilt F-head 4cyl. engine,(Jeep used this engine from 53′-65′), T90 3 spd. trans. Has been a restoration project that I never seem to find the time to finish,(summers are too short in Vt.!)Have replaced brake lines,shoes,wheel cylinders,also have replaced fuel tank,fuel pump,radiator,and waterpump. Rebuilt the carb,but,probably needs to be gone through again. Haven’t had running in over a year. Electrical system was converted from 6volt to 12 volt before I got it. Top is in bad shape but,new ones are still available.
Frame and body look to be original.Body is rusty, but, I’ve seen worse,many replacement body panels are available from various vendors. Needs body work to make roadworthy,but you could use it as it is in the woods. Don’t have to worry about denting a fender or scraping branches or brush like you would on a new Roxxor that you paid $18k for. Look at the patina on this ol-girl! These old Jeeps are geared so low that they are best suited for back country roads,off roading or as a utility vehicle. Simple to work on compared to newer Jeeps or SXS. No title as Vt. doesn’t title vehicles over 15 yrs. old.”
Not clear if it includes the bracket or not, but I’d think that would be the case.

Here’s a related newspaper ad for them (originally posted on the earlyCJ-5 page some time back):
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/06/2019) Has some updates, including an f-head.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/d/graham-1945-ford-gpw/7099029834.html
“Runs good, needs a few things here and there. Frame has been brought down to bare metal and recoated with por15. Rebuilt transmission and f head swap with hardened valves. 11″ brake upgrade in front. Back brakes capped at the moment. Comes with various parts. Authentic WWII production. Ridiculous low-ballers will be ignored.”
