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 .

“For your consideration are two 1942 Ford Army Jeeps and a trailer. One has a production date of Feb 26, 1942 and the second has a production date of March 26, 1942. The Feb production Jeep has a serial number of GPW 557 which according to “All-American Wonder” The Military Jeep 1941-1945, this is the second lowest production number known, only surpassed by number 500 produced Feb. 13,1942. The second jeep produced in March has a serial number of GPW 9945, so as you can see, these are very early production Army Jeeps. Both are Script Jeeps which have the Ford lettering on the rear panel. Candidly, the March Jeep which is complete, is not as nice as the Feb. Jeep which would be worthy of a restoration. The Feb Jeep is totally disassembled. The engine for the Feb Jeep has been rebuilt, and the transmission/transfer case are good. The front and rear axels are also good. These are project Jeeps. There are more parts than are pictured. The trailer has a production date of December 1942. There is a set of 5 combat rims for the Jeep. The trailer has combat rims on it. There will be a lot of work to make a great restored Jeep, but all parts are available from advertisers in the publication “Supply Line” a publication of the Military Preservation Association which is a great organization for Military vehicles and would be worth joining. I have titles for both jeeps.”
“1947 Willy CJ-2A Flat Fender 4×4, Flat head 4 cylinder, 3 speed, 3 top , GOOD canvas top & doors, alum hard top, vinyl top, spare tire, 90% complete, with some extra parts.”
“Two 1948 Willy’s Jeeps. One is a CJ2 the other is the military jeep. The CJ is more complete than the military one. Between the two should be able to make one work. Both have the original engine and trans. Have pink for one not the other. Neither have been registered in so long they are not on record at the DMV. Email me with a phone number I will call you back. Price is OBO, I know they are rough, but to the right person they could run again or be great for original parts. I am looking for 4bt cummins motor or 12 valve cummins if you’d like to trade.”

Bob forward this interesting story about how an American bugler used a Chinese bugle to play the Chinese retreat call and trick the Chinese. The photo below was included in the article from the Akron Beacon Journal Online and shows a Carl Thornton in a M-38A1 when he served in Korea.
