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 have 3 jeep motors all turn over $ 500.00 for all three, I think two will run.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $7750.
(01/22/2019) Might need a little work.
“Rare 1949 Willys Jeepster Pheaton Convertible. Runs and Drives. Come take a test drive around the block. We’ve replaced the engine, new fuel tank, fuel lines, master cylinder, brake cylinder, radiator, carburetor, battery, rebuilt starter, hoses, fan belt, fixed gages, water pump, rebuilt generator, fixed front suspension problem, rebuilt the steering box, done most of what needed to be able to drive. It’s still a work in progress”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(04/11/2019) Seller lists this as a 1953 M-38, but it appears to be a CJ frame with a replacement body.
“I have a 53 Willy’s m38 for sale. It is in good condition overall. No rust, great tires. F head engine has been put in it hence the hole in the hood. And the steering is backwards due to a steering conversion gone wrong before I got it. Nothing that would be very hard to fix. Have the original steering column. Runs great. I was going to restore but priority’s have changed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Needs work.
“I have a 1964 jeep cj6 i havnt really had time to do much with it.its a kaiser jeep and its pretty rare to find one with half cab and doors.they were special order with jeep from koenig ironworks.i have several body panels to go with it.motor was running i havnt started in a while.call or text.no spam or frauders.no low ballers or tire kickers its a 1964 it needs to be restored.asking 2500”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400.
The $1700 price includes the rear PTO and gearbox (I’m assuming the seller is selling the rear gearbox, the shaft, and the PTO … this might not be the case). Without it, the price is $1300. The PTO is also listed separately here.

“48 cj2a with rear shaft PTO,not running ,some rust.$ 1300 without PTO,Bill of sale only”

Original Post Dec. 14, 2012: An issue of the “American Farm Youth” (1947 Volumes 13-14 Page 34) mentioned this movie.
Revolution in Pleasantville, a motion picture describing the role of the Jeep in farm mechanization, has just been produced and made available for showing to farm groups. The revolution depicted in the film is one taking place all over the . . .
Jeff spotted this FC-170 lurking in the background of the TV show “Bless This Mess“. The premise of the show is, “Newlyweds Rio and Mike make the decision to change the course of their life together and move from the relentless pace of big city New York to what they think will be a more relaxed existence in rural Nebraska.”
Maury spotted this sign on eBay. The neon has been removed, but still a neat sign. The seller believe this was a temporary sign created just after WWII, but given the post WWII signs I’ve seen, I’d guess early 1950s or later would be more likely.

“Vintage Jeep Willys Sales Service Auto Dealer Neon Sign 1940s 1950s USA . Condition is Used. This is a truly authentic, post-war Willys Jeep dealership sign that was was created fresh after the end of WWII. This sign is hand painted, not porcelain and was more than likely used for the dealership here in St. Joseph for a short time right after the war as a ‘fill-in’ then shortly retired. I say this because the paint is remarkably bright and not faded.
