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 .
“Total frame-off restoration completed in 2000, driven less than 1500 miles since then. Harvard Red (original ’46 Willys color), rebuilt transmission, differential, fuel system, etc., new clutch. Converted to 12 volt electricals. Aftermarket soft top with doors and windows. Always garaged. Runs like a top. Not a rock climber — but a great street vehicle.”

UPDATE: Popescu Laurentiu Cristian indicated that these were made in Romania. He has 3-4 pieces from when he was 5-6 years old. (comment came from Facebook)
Fabrice Liotard has a huge collection of military jeep toys. He also spent a lot deal of time photographing, identifying, and posting them to his French website: http://jeepytoys.pagesperso-orange.fr/ .
Two jeeps he recently purchased in Germany have red painted stars on their hoods (european scale 1/28 / U.S. Scale 4.92in). He was wondering anyone has information about them. If you do, you can contact him through Facebook. If you don’t have Facebook, feel free to contact me and I’ll forward your thoughts to him:
“My Dad is selling his 1952 M-38A-1 Willys Military Jeep. The Jeep has 40,000 actual miles. Had been a forestry department jeep when He bought it. The Jeep has all new brakes, tires and all canvas has been replaced. Was repainted in USMC green and markings. Comes with a correct radio and has a CD player mounted in the glove box which is wired to a Military speaker on the dash which he used to play Patriotic songs. Its a very nice driving old jeep just ready for this Summers cruising.”
“Totally stock and great original condition 1959 Willys CJ5 with a nice and complete Koenig hardtop. The only additions/modifications are Rambler hubcaps and a gun rack on the dash. Also includes a very rare Koenig bed extender with jerry can holders. Has the rare 60/40 bench seats, which are freshly and beautifully reupholstered. Original and working AM radio. As far as I know, it has less than 50,000 original miles. It spent it previous life as a ranch Jeep in Wyoming, and prior to my ownership, was in a barn in Montana. I have the notebook with service records in it from decades ago. Only minor surface rust, nothing cancerous, and as you can see, very solid and straight and dent-free body with no welding or patches on it anywhere. There is rust on the bottom of the tailgate in the usual spot where the hinges connect, but I have a brand new primered Rugged Ridge Willys tailgate that will be included (cost me ~$200). Fresh tuneup on the F134 Willys Hurricane engine, starts right up and runs really well. I’ve had it going a sustained 50mph up the very steep mountain highway near my house, but it spends most of its time being babied in my garage or cruising around my property while I grin from ear to ear. Fantastic classic Jeep and a ton of fun. Hate to sell it, but I have to. $3,500, pretty firm.”
This has some interesting history and an unusual revenue data tag.
“This is an early Ford GPW Jeep. Serial number 9622, Delivered on March 30, 1942. It has been sitting in a shed for the last 40 years after the owner broke the transfer case. It was a maintenance jeep at a park in its second life. I have a clear title to it. A lot of the jeep appears to be original except the engine. It looks like they switched out the basic engine, but put a lot of the military hardware back on, carb, alternator, starter, etc. The engine turns over, and the previous owner said it ran when he broke the transfer case. I do know where there is a MB engine. It has a voltage converter under the dash. The frame stamp matches the serial number. The seat pads look original. The owner said it came out of the Harrisburg, PA Army Barracks. All the parts pictured go with it.
43,000 mileage, sold as is, no warranty. Condition fair.”
“This is a military Jeep with a 24 volt system. It is all stock, complete with snorkel tube and canvas side curtains and doors. It is in good condition. Motor is free and the 4 wheel drive works fine. 4 cylinder motor and 3 speed transmission. I put a new gas tank in it, the brakes have been gone over and are good and working. It will run but needs a fuel pump and possible carb rebuild. It has two new Red Top Optima batteries and new cables. It has military tires that for a hunting vehicle are OK but for the highway need to be replaced.”
“This is a rare 1959 m274 mule, it was made by willys. It has a true NOS(new old stock) 2 cylinder engine(not a converted generator,like some)with under 8 hours on it. The transmission has just been gone through and rebuilt by a professional mule transmission specialist. Has high and low gears. It runs like new, cause it basically is. It has 4 wheel steering and a light weight magnesium deck. It has new electric starter, battery and alt, to run lights(forward and rear) and 12 volt car charger(to charge gps or cell phone). Im using a 50cal waterproof box to house the starting key, light switches, and 12 volt charger. Under the frame, next to battery is a bracket that holds 2 like new 50 cal boxes. Mules only came with one drivers seat so I added a second seat and basket. Has metal canister holding bracket for water or fuel container. Brand new tires, new stainless steel gas tank. Seats are not original, they are the more comfortable, adjustable(seat slides forward and back wards to fit a tall or short driver) high-back military m35 seats that have been reupholstered. It has half inch rubber mat on top of the deck to keep paint from getting scratched or chipped. It has a black water proof box under the deck-next to the battery that holds all the electrical connections and keeps them safe and dry.Has a new data plate. This mule is in great shape. I built it for myself to keep, but I’m moving and have no safe place to keep it. There are not many of these machines left, and they continue to increase there value every year.”
