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: Still Available

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6199. I found the referenced article and commented on it.
(03/01/2010) This jeep hasn’t been run in about 5 years. It needs a few items addressed.
“This 66 year old Jeep is one of the first commercial Jeeps manufactured after WW 2 and has been in protected storage for over 16 years. It was last run about 6 years ago. Carburetor cleaned at that time. It has a 12 volt starting system instead of 6 volt Has a soft top, and a bikini top too. Tow bar. Roll bar. Rear seat. 15 inch, not 16 inch, tires have little mileage. Carburetor was new in 1990. Over 100,000 miles on the odometer. Rebuilt 4-cylinder engine with less than 5,000 miles. Replacement parts include the two front metal fenders and added aluminum rear panels and heavy-duty front bumper. Has a swing out spare tire carrier, military gas cans maybe be mounted either side of spare tire. Repairs needed: gas tank leaks (pin hole). The master brake cylinder needs to be inspected or repaired. Seat frames are original with Naugahyde covered foam covering which either needs to be replaced or seat covers installed. The exhaust pipe needs to be reconnected to exhaust manifold and tail pipe, maybe muffler, needs replacing. Automobile magazine for July, 2013 estimates that restored CJ2A jeeps now retail from $12,500 to $20,000.”
Mark and his wife Barbara attended a local British Car Club show last weekend. Though theirs was the only jeep, they still enjoyed themselves.
He writes, “Last Saturday, My wife & I attended an annual British car show in Newburgh, Indiana, along the Ohio River. The group is the Southern Indiana Region British Car Club (Sir Brit). Probably around 40 cars there. There were mostly MGs, Triumphs, etc. but what I thought would be of interest on ewillys is a 1967 Land Rover.
It was a lot of fun to take our 1945? CJ2A there and park it near the show cars. Our CJ2A drew a lot of attention. I’ve attached pictures of my lovely wife (Barbara) modeling with our CJ2A, a few of a Land Rover, and several of a late 40s MG and a late 50s Triumph.”
This interest anyone?
“8-1/2 x 11″ frame blueprint, look at picture for application and condition, very heavy wear on lower left corner, still useable condition.”

UPDATE: Was on eBay
“VINTAGE MENU LAS BRISAS HOTEL 1966 ACAPULCO MEXICO
This 1966 vintage menu is from one of ACAPULCO’S more famous hotels, famed for their “ROOM SERVICE BY JEEP”. It measures 9 1/2″ wide by 14″ long, closed. Excellent condition with just minor soiling on the rear cover.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay at a much lower price.
Burn Notice fans will interested in this Surrey. According to the eBay ad it was used on the set of Burn Notice, though no one has seen it appear in an episode (and only two episodes of the series left: sept 05 and sept 12 on the USA Network). We do know that the producer had been hunting a surrey for the show, but never learned what happened to their search. Well, I guess they found one.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This might be worth a look.
“This 1952 Willys M38 Jeep is a running driving Jeep. Still has the 24volt electrical system. This Jeep is original and unrestored, also has very little rust. Has very good military tires on original military rims. This is a good candidate for a military restoration. I’ll be glad to answer question by email or phone”
This appears to be in good shape.

“Great running 300 Turbo diesel flatbed truck four wheel drive. Runs great. Good farm truck or off road fun truck.”
Marc forwarded this ad. Since the wheel base of this rig was longer than the standard flatfender body & front clip length, this builder ‘stretched’ it to fit by extending the cowl sides and adding a piece to the hood.
