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: **SOLD** Was $600.
There may be value here.
“for sale is a metal Meyer half cab and doors with a CJ5 body tub. you must take tub if you want the top. and no, the frame, running gear and title are not for sale. email me your phone number for more details, condition etc.”
Looks like a Sears cab.

No pics provided.
“Totally rebuilt, to much to mention. Call if you want more info or more pictures.”
Not quite all original parts. This was previously listed here. Seller believes this was a US Navy Jeep, but I don’t see any evidence that this was the case. I’m wondering if this is an M-38 engine (number begins with MC).
“I have a 1946 Willy’s jeep MC7 has been restored and is all original parts.Willys is in good shape has new paint job front has been replaced on axle new.This jeep runs and drives good.Has about 3 hours on motor has been rebuilt.The Willy’s jeep is 1946 U.S.Navy jeep this is number 7 of the MC 7 has clear title.T his is a cash only sell.”

It’s the hardtop only for sale. Needs some paint, but may be a solid hardtop.
“Got this hardtop for sale. Despite the looks it’s in pretty good shape. Call or text for details. If i cant sell it im going to scrape it. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(08/11/2016) It’s a project.
“Selling my 1947 cj2a project.
I was planing on just making this cj2a into a good running for logging road fun but plans changed.
the cj2a is complete and i believe has the original drive train to it.
the engine was seized.
the body has some rust in the floors.
I got a second cj3a frame that was in better shape and was dissembling the cj2a and installing parts onto the cj3a as the 3a was being fixed from the frame up.
frame is painted with new shocks / springs and bushings.
engine runs good trans shifts fine.
hi torque 12v starter.
12v alternator.
needs brake lines installed.
body needs patch panels in floor.
everything is there to make a running CJ i just don’t have the time and now need to repair my daily driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(07/2016) Looks rough.
“I have a 1953 jeep Willys CJ3B for sale. It’s not in the best shape, but I bought it off of a lady who let is sit for 27 years so that’s to be expected. My original plan was to restore is, but an opportunity has come up that I need some cash for. This is a very rare, one of a kind jeep. this jeep does have the hard top with it that is very rare. It also has the spare tire carrier that mounts to the side with the spare rim. All the rims are original with new tires mounted on them. I currently have the engine pulled for inspection. After opening it up I see that it is able to be rebuilt, but it will take some time and patience and most of it will need replaced. The engine has a little bit over 46,000 miles on it. The body needs some work also. It has no floors and the sides need to be patched in some places and completely replaced in others. I do have a new 4 x 8 foot sheet of 16 gauge thick steel that I will sell with it to make body panels out of. All the brake drums are freed up and it does roll and the steering works so you can move it easily. This jeep is a project, but if you have been looking for a jeep project, then its perfect. All the gauges are in it and in decent shape also. If you have any questions or are interested feel free to email me, thanks.”
Jesse Ybarra sent in this report on the trip he and Andrea are enjoying in their modified 1964 M-679. They’ve driven from Phoenix to Dan’s Military FC show in Illinois, before heading down to Dallas.
The van at Dan’s Military FC show.
He wrote: “We are still on our MOST EXCELLENT ROAD TRIP ADVENTURE. We drove the M-679 Ambulance from Phoenix to Marengo, Illinois. There were a lot of weather and road conditions to test me and my van. It has a new (for this trip) softer suspension change of 10 to 5 leaves and an added air ride. It sure was needed, because off roading at 10 mph is not like seeing the road sign that says bump at 75 mph and then flying all 4 tires in the air!
I also finished the interior, adding insulation covered by anodized aluminum and a headliner. I also installed a rear view monitor with side and rear cameras. Other modern conveniences include a motorized touch screen sound system, GPS MAPS, and a bluetooth onscreen connected phone.
At every pitstop, even ln the rain, people asked if they could take pictures. Even on the turn pikes
at over 75mph truckers and other drivers were taking pictures out their windows as we would pass them.
After a week in IL. We are in Dallas for another week with our daughter and grandchildren. The real road test is not the handling or power and economy, but how it can stop in the big city traffic. Driving into Dallas at afternoon rush hour was a real test on me more than on the van.”
Jesse plans to send some more photos and either or Mark Smith at warjeeps.com will have more on Jesse’s adventure.
For those curious about this built, you can seehow it looked before Jesse began work on it. The van had been headed for the scrapyard when Jesse got a hold of it. It is one of 6 known FC-679s.
