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 .

“Up for sale is my 1947 Willys CJ-2A. I just finished a year long frame off restoration on this Willys last month. Everything has been gone through and it runs and drives great. It has a lot of new parts and a fresh paint job. This is not over restored where you would be scared to drive it, it is a driver that you could take to a car show or put it to work on a farm. Please contact me if you have any questions or want to see it. I can deliver to you within 500 miles for a small fee if that is something you need. Clean Nevada title in hand. Currently registered and insured.”

This collection of wood cars owned by Gary and Jean was just stunning!
Day 10: On Tuesday we drove from Suwanee, Georgia, to Harlem Georgia, then on to Charleston.
Our drive from Suwanee, Georgia, to Charleston, South Carolina.
We didn’t expect any surprises today when we left Tuesday morning for the Laurel & Hardy Museum (or on Facebook) in Harlem, Georgia. The drive took a couple hours.
We arrived to find a modest building with signage starting at the Interstate making the museum easy to find.
Inside the museum we met Gary, a long-time Laurel and Hardy fan originally from Minnesota. The move to Harlem, Georgia, was specifically due to the museum. To say he’s a big fan might be an understatement; I’d wager he’s there number one fan.
Given the volumes of Oliver & Hardy merchandise, it wasn’t too surprising that I even found a couple jeeps in the mix:
Paul ceremonially rolled Knardly Rolls out of the garage on Monday.

He writes, “Today (May 7th) I opened the garage door and then removed two of the four insulated panels positioned against the outer surface of the garage door so there would be enough room to move the little Willys from the dark garage and into the May sunshine. I quickly learned I need sun glasses. Most of the body has a brushed pattern on the stainless steel but even brushed stainless is rather reflective when the sun is shining. I’m real glad I didn’t polish the body, that would have been blinding on a sunny day.
The little Willys has been moved into the connex where I’ll fuel it up, check for leaks and see if the engine will start. Once the engine runs well I’ll support the Willys with jack stands and begin testing the operation of the transmission and axles.
However, before I begin any ground running I’m going to repaint the interior of the garage. The last time I painted the garage was 30 years ago so new paint is long overdue.
Anyway, here’s a photo of the little Willys escaping from the garage. It was a whole different perspective for me since the small garage only allowed me close up views but once it was outdoors I was able to back away and get a view of the entire Jeep. Quite different from what I’m used to.
I’m still having a hard time believing the little Willys is finally done but seeing it outdoors makes it seem more real.”
“Meticulously restored, Frame Off, All New Body, Grill to Tailgate, and New Soft Top. Ready to drive and enjoy! Hard to find CJ-3B model! Ready For Summer!”
“Selling an October 1953 M38A1 in solid condition / excellent restoration possibilities. 24-volts, comes with new batteries, new gaskets, hoses, and a bunch of parts, although most of those parts were the original ones that were taken off when newer ones were installed. There are a couple small spots on the passenger side that have old repairs that could use a skim of filler to refresh them (see photo below, beneath the battery compartment and just below slave receptacle dish), but sheet metal is in great condition and no panels need replacement or major repairs. The serial number is right at the change-over from Gen 1 to Gen 2. This jeep has the hinged grill and thumb screw battery cover so it’s one of the last of the first-generation M38A1s. Awesome Korean War / Vietnam piece of military history.”
