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 $2000.
This is likely a mix of parts.

Apparently needs a little work.
“Military M38A1, (looks like CJ5) has newer V6 engine, runs good, has 1/2 metal top and doors. Body is fair, will run and drive but it needs work to be road worthy. Does have new tie rods and shocks on it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $3995.
This has an interesting cargo carrier on top.
“good body, 4×4, 283 Chevy V-8 std. trans.”
Ran across this M-37. Looks like it’s got a pretty solid body to me.

(08/31/2013) It’s a project, but it looks in good shape.
“1948 Willys CJ2A 4×4 Project, Has a chevy 283 bored 0.30 solid lifters, wiend stealth intake, Mallory magnetic breakerless ignition and Mallory super coil, 33″ tires and super single style rims 15×10, keg converted into fuel tank, rancho shocks and lift, 2 sets of seats one set plastic molded and the other is out of an Acura.
This motor ran super, I have since used the carb and battery on other projects, it has a broken rear axle so it will need to be trailered even though it has a tow bar attached to the front, all in all I’ve had it garaged since 1995 when I bought it. This is a good base for off road fun, the motor ran strong and loud with a definite lope, turns head even on the trailer, contact me with any questions more than happy to talk about the mods that have been made.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
There appears to be parts value here.
“1952 gp willys jeep with 1/2 cab body and frame poor in 1994 replace all hoses and wheel cycli9nders and shoes has a hand pump for snow plow lift no handle for pump no seats in the jeep did replace the gas tank in 1994 the best part of the jeep are the half cab and the handle lift for the snow plow in general if you need parts this is a fair donor jeep but the frame and body very poor if it does not sell I will remove the top and lift pump and junk the rest as for gp the title list it as a gp but I have not idea what that is looks to me like a cj3a.”
There might be some useful parts here. No description provided.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $7500.
(12/26/2013) This may be worth a closer look.
“1951 Willys Overland Jeep 2 wheel drive wagon, original 4 cly F Head, 3 speed with O/D (working) rewired to 12 volt. TONS of new parts, new paint and the rear body is all wood grained….needs minor finishing and runs great! Trade for another collector car 1946-1961 Packard, Plymouth Ford etc….”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/26/2013) This includes an overdrive. It’s listed as a ’45, but I don’t see anything to indicate it’s that early. The body is a little rough based on the old pics.
“Here we have a 1945 Military Willys Jeep. 283 Chevy V-8 engine. 3 speed manual transmission with overdrive and a dual stick transfer case. New lock out hubs. Runs and drives great. Asking $3650 OBO. Layaway type payment plans available. Call 719-243-4614”

This April 1956 article from Willys News highlights the importance of fleet sales to an Oklahoma dealer.
Bob Anderson forwarded some photos and text to start the new year.
He writes, Found an old picture of a Willys I bought in about 1978. It had 12K actual miles on it, and had never been on the road. Was used on a large Asparagus farm in central Ill.
Needed a complete overhaul, as well as most front end parts, but kept it for years when I moved back to WI and bought a small farm.
It did everything I ever asked it to on the farm !! Loved it…
Also here is a picture of my ’52 M38A1 after I moved the seat back. I am 6’5″ and ~350 lbs, and it works great !! I used the common methods described here and elsewhere to move it.
I happened upon this website while looking for some transmission information. As I scrolled through the page I was impressed with the amount and organization of information. I ended up spending time viewing a bunch of other pages. Since it is a Wiki-based website, people can make corrections and add information.
