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 .
UPDATE: Price dropped to $800.
Not sure how much value is here.

(03/03/2018) There’s just something about this CJ-5 I like. Must be the rims!
“1971 Kaiser Willys Jeep CJ5 ….. When I bought this Jeep it was a farm Jeep … used for running around the farm and such . Parked it in my garage and started the tear it down . But moved twice , and life just sort of got in the way .
I have many of the original parts and boxes of new stuff that will go with it !
It has a Chevy 4.3 l V6 ( Stainless headers thermo wrapped , Pertronix distributor , new carb . ) …. should give it much more get up and go ! Has the original 3 speed manual trans …Dana 27 front axel , Dana 40 rear .
The only parts I am missing are the front fenders ( They were just too rusted to save ! )
Has 4″ lift springs & shocks ,
New Bimini top , canvas doors , and lots of other parts in boxes ready for install .
Lots of work still needs to be done , so I do not want any buyer to think it just needs a little work to complete !
The photos are from before I started to tear it down !
I have parts kept in two garages and will start to get all in one place for a quick sale !”
You may remember that a few months ago a document called The Willys Story went up for sale on eBay. Well, fortunately for all of us, that document sold to an eWillys reader who asked if I would make a high-resolution version available to anyone who wants it. Given the document was a pricey purchase, it’s a very generous offer. So, a big thank you is in order for that anonymous benefactor!
The document is 85 pages and purports to show all the different aspect of the Willys-Overland Company from 1940 to 1954. You’ll see that Willys had their hands into a variety of things, not just jeeps.
I’ve uploaded the file to my google drive, so downloading it should be a snap. It is just under 400MB, so it’s not a small PDF file.

Below are some low res pictures of some of the jeep-related images:
This is an interesting strategy by MD Juan. I guess I need to fly to the Philippines and try it!
“The PhUV or Philippine Utility Vehicle Inc., the pioneer manufacturer and assembler of electric vehicles in the country, has joined forces with MD Juan Enterprises, the pioneer and leading Jeep® restoration parts manufacturer and exporter, in promoting an environment-friendly Electric Jeep. The result is a perfect union of “the past and the future” concepts, the classic and the modern, merging both craftsmanships to create this integrated Electric Jeep prototype.
Outside, all the body parts of a classic military Jeep® of World War II fame such as the body tub, hood, fenders, grille, windshield, seat frames, bumpers, canvass top and wheels are supplied by MD Juan. Pop the hood and before you is the powertrain of the future, the electric vehicle technology that includes an electric motor, controller, rechargeable batteries, charger and vehicle control unit from PhUV. This prototype will be exhibited in local vehicle display events only in the Philippines.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $14,000.

Craig spotted this M-38A1 that’s been repowered with a Kubota diesel engine.
“1952 Willys M38A1 was brought back to life in 2015 after a two year restoration and modification was completed. Every nut and bolt was removed, inspected, replaced if damaged and reassembled to ensure this restoration did not leave any areas of the Jeep untouched. Two major modification were completed during the restoration. The electrical system was converted to a 12V system and the engine was replaced with a Kubota V2403 60 HP turbo diesel engine”
