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 .

“1951 Willys M38 project my son and I started a few years ago. He has since moved away and is busy building his career, so it is time for the M38 to go. It had a Buick V-6 oddfire which was no good, so we built up a GM slightly later model V-6, which is currently in the longblock stage. Have most of the parts and sheetmetal, just needs someone to finish. Have title.”
The seller has the governor handle, but not the governor assembly (if I understand correctly).

“1949 CJ3a PTO assembly with the Belt Drive adapter.
Still currently mounted in the jeep so it can be used and shown to work, planning on pulling it sometime this month. Only thing missing is the Novi Governor under the hood. I don’t intend to restore this jeep to factory and it doesn’t suit any need I have other than looking really cool.
This PTO should mount to any CJ jeep or most older Jeeps that have the Dana 18 transfer case from what I know.
I’m selling just the PTO assembly, not the whole Jeep”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/10/2023) It’s a project that sounds like it must be sold.

This testimonial comes from a cemetery in Springfield, Massachusetts, that espouses the lawn-friendliness of the jeep.
The CJ-6 shown on this postcard is described as the “typical hunting rig used throughout the Valley” and by valley they mean the Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas.
