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 .
“it’s a 1949 cj-3a, motor ran fine before it sat for 3 years. I have kept the hood on and the intake has been covered up the whole time. It has had some starter and brake line work done (brakes are not working).
I recently put on new plugs and changed the oil, but haven’t had time to do much of anything else, that is why I’m selling it.
Overall it is in pretty good shape, definitely would make a solid platform to restore from. Gas tank is ok, as are the seat frames.”
“I have for sale this cj3a jeep. It does not have a title, sold as parts only. It comes with the tub, fenders, grill, tailgate, steering sector, heater, both axles, skid plate, one drive shaft, bell housing, transmission, transfer case and gauges. This jeep does not come with an engine or radiator. One of the hubs has the lug bolts cut off. It does have rust through but still has several good parts..”
“This is an old crazy buzz saw that came to me with a 1946 Willys cj2a. The saw looks to be in good shape and turns freely. The drum that used to drive it has been removed and a double V belt pulley installed. I don’t know for sure if this is and original farm implement from the 40’s or even 50’s but it’s really cool! Feel free to ask any questions that you may have.”
“This was my dads. He ordered it in 1965 in Phoenix. I have every paper since that day. I inherited it 19 years ago and have done my best to enjoy it and keep it as amazingly original as it has always been. It has 34K original miles, it has never had a tow hitch on it. He mostly pulled it behind his truck for hunting. I transport it on a trailer. 4 years ago I was afraid it might start to rust (I moved to Montana) so I painted it with concept paint in the original paint code (Indian ceramic). I haven’t hooked everything up since painting (like the wipers and heater, and) but I have EVERY PART.”
MIchael sent me an email about his 1953 M-38A1. He had it fully refurbed and it looks great! Thanks for sharing. Here is what Michael wrote:
The Willys is a 1953 M38A1. She was issued to the Marine Corps that year, according to the original data plates. I polished the data plates, had them clear-coated and riveted back into the dash.
My wife picked the paint color, she refused to let me use the OD green and white I had originally purchased.
I had the holes filled in the dash panel that would not be used for this build, refreshed the 12v conversion with an alternator, electric wipers, and converted the original front and rear blackout canisters for parking, turn signals and rear brake lights. I pulled the PTO and installed a Saturn overdrive, she now makes 55-60 mph on smooth roads on the flat.
I pulled the battery box and installed a marine hydronic heater/defroster. The switches for the heater fan, wipers, and the cell phone charger are tucked in the right side of the glove box.
I tried to keep most of her as original as I could while building her for my personal use..
I think she turned out well and she is quite usable and economical to maintain. For the purists, it is probably not right, but she is still mostly who and what she used to be, just a little more civilized and prettied up.
This video captured the test of the James Martin metal jeep tire. Note that some of the video is reversed, making it appear the jeep is right-hand-drive.
“1944- As members of a U.S. reconnaissance unit enter Periers, France, in “Alma”, their jeep, a lone pup (left) comes out wagging his tail in greeting. Name “Alma” in painted above rear tire.”
This FC is supposed to be all original, including paint.

“I am selling this family heirloom from my Father’s estate. Runs and drives. I have receipts for every piece of equipment in this piece that my Father restored himself. This vehicle has participated in many Veterans Day parades, as well as been displayed at past Marine Birthday celebrations in Tulsa. I want this piece to go to someone who will love and enjoy it the way my Dad did. Please contact me for any information. I do not need help selling this, nor am I interested in trades.”
