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 .
Has some updates.
“53 willys cj3a has a 67 Buick v6 and running gear lift 33s full cage and some extra parts $8000 or bo would trade for a nice truck”

This has a gov plate on the dash. It’s a project.
“Started it’s life in California, was restored 15 years ago in CT and has been sitting in my garage with big intentions for too many years. I don’t know a ton about these, this was the first year the SUPER HURRICANE straight six was available. 6 volt system. It has one of the cleanest bodies I’ve seen in New England, and I can make it turn over and run by squirting gas into the carb, but it needs to be rebuilt, and possibly the old mechanical fuel pump. Needs front floor pans, interior panels and some small rust spots on the doors fixed, but its not a rust bucket like most.This is a project, but you won’t find a nicer starting point anywhere in New England, or at least I couldn’t for the past 4-5 years. Might be interested in the right trade, mostly older pickups, squarebody, maybe the right Harley, (no sportsters) VTX firearms, let’s make a deal! Low ballers, and tire kickers will be rudely responded to and ignored.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1200. Last listed in 2015. The seller includes pics in the ad of an M-38 body on another frame. It’s not clear if that is included or just an accidental upload to the ad.
Not sure how much value is here.
“1947 willys cj2a project,
Buick v6 cylinder, (desirable upgrade). Good strong engine
Good decent original seat frames, fenders and tub,
Frame decent tranny good.”
https://cnj.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys-cj2a/6348809466.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2990.
Marty shared this one. It not only had desert dogs, but comes with a second set of them. Might be worth buying for the dogs, then turning around and reselling it.
“Runs and drives Good with only 70,000 miles has tach, stero ,extra set of offroad Desert Dog tires 0n mag wheels has 2″lift with custom bumpers”
Craig shared this project. There could be some value here.
“1950 Willys overland Jeepster

Overdrive transmission
Honeycomb radiator
No paperwork
2-door phaeton/convertible”
https://watertown.craigslist.org/cto/d/1950-willys-vj-3/6356215323.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
Jeff’s selling this parts/project wagon. Given the new tires, there’s some value here.
“Willys Wagon located in Richardson. It was originally to be used for parts, but I think it’s still salvageable and don’t have it in me to cut out the body panels. It has a Ford inline-6 with a glass barrel Holley Carb. Front clip was taken by previous owner as were some other parts including the rear hatch. Heavy body filler work in some spots, but still some good useable panels. The dash is absolutely beautiful and there are a few hard to find parts on it. New tires.”
Looks like the rims are 10×15 slots.
“Hello. I have 5 rims, and tires. Fits older ford, jeep, and dodge. 4 tires are like brand new, and all match, 1 tire doesn’t match (but same size). Sale or trade. Mud, off road, street”
https://youngstown.craigslist.org/for/d/5-aluminum-slot-wheels/6346915354.html
I’m sure someone could use these.
“1951 Willys Jeep parts – hood,front fenders,grill,and tailgate.”
https://york.craigslist.org/pts/d/willys-jeep-parts/6357359928.html
No pics provided.
“1947 Willy’s Army Jeep, excellent condition, completely rebuilt, low mileage, new top $6,500. or best offer .”
https://reading.craigslist.org/cto/d/1947-willys-army-jeep/6348631384.html
UPDATE: Claus confirmed that this same jeep was on eBay for $20k recently. If you see this posted other places on Craigslist, I’d suggest flatting it.
Craig shared this ad. The too-good-to-be-true price on this beautiful M-38 suggests it is likely a scam. The phone number for the ad is a California one, but it was listed in the Ann Arbor, Michigan, Craigslist. That doesn’t automatically mean it’s a scam (as I still have my Cali phone number), but is just another reason to be suspect.
“Also has new 12 volt batteries. Totally rebuilt engine and transmission”
https://annarbor.craigslist.org/cto/d/willysnavy-variant/6356779791.html
I feel like I have seen these two jeeps somewhere recently ….
Thanks to Gray and Dave for sharing photos form the 2017 Mason-Dixon Willys Jeep Gathering on Sunday. The weather was perfect and both reported they had a good time.
Dave noted, “Great show on a beautiful day, though a bit warm for the end of October in these parts. I didn’t do any counting but, I’m estimating around 10-12 used parts vendors with everything imaginable related to cjs, trucks, and wagons, and around 40-50 jeep vehicles including civilian cjs, the trucks, wagons, FC, Jeepster guys and, the military vehicle group that included a military wrecker, a WWII deuce and several jeeps. All in all, this is a great show that gets better each year. Thanks to the Union Mills Homestead site for having us and to Mike for organizing it.”
Gray added, “Such a great show . Lots of parts for sale and everybody was so nice!”
Below are a mix of Dave and Gray’s photos. The first one shows this year’s award winners:
A reader from South Africa sent the serial number of his jeep to me, asking when it was built. I concluded that the serial number indicated he has a 1966 CJ-5. The curious part is that he has AA’s stamped on the end of the serial number.Here’s an approximate example of his serial number: 8305 211XXX AA …. It turns out, he’s not alone.
Here’s an example (again from South Africa) of a CJ-6 with the AA’s stamped into the serial number: http://www.4-the-love-of-jeeps.com/cj6-big-red-comes-to-papa.html
The internet also has a few references to others with the double AAs. What I think is going on is that as a part of converting left handed jeeps to right handed ones, the company that did it was also adding a set of AA’s to the serial number. Does anyone know of this to be the case?
CJ-6 serial number with AA’s stamped in it.
