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 .
Eric spotted this one. The seller doesn’t want to junk this. There could be a little value in this poor, sad jeep.
“Old Willys Jeep. ROUGH SHAPE. Might be good for parts. Would like to see it used instead of going to the crusher. Any interest call 617-898-7440”

(11/29/2012) Check out the driver’s side entrance. It’s looks to me like this has been trimmed back.

“What you are looking at is an original 1952 Willys M38 military Jeep. The Jeep has been redone and is in near perfect condition. It is all original with original 24 volt system. No bondo. All metal. Original bows and all. It could use new tires, but they are fine as is. It currently had coop grip spurs on the original Willys rims. Clear title. It is a hop in and go original piece of U.S. history. I am asking 13,500 OBO.

The reason for the sale is sad, but it isn’t a great restoration.
“LOOK! 1948 Willys Jeep Mechanicals All Rebuilt! just restored by a Great Restoration Shop In Town for my friend, this was his Dream and his baby, HE DROVE IT ON THE RAMP TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE AND FOR 320 MILES!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(11/01/2012) The body and frame look good, but there is no engine or tranny.
“this a clean little cj3b. i bought it to build but have no time. the previous owner was converting to put a v8 or v6 in it. the body is cherry, no rusted floors. it does not have motor or tranny. the frame was taken apart and painted with the body off. he told me the brakes were rebuilt it has new universal joints. from what i can see it looks like the chassi is done. the body and paint are very clean. all you need to do is finish putting the motor and trans in and ad gauges and a wire kit. the wheels dont come with it. i have another set that came with the jeep when i got it. there’s allot of beat up ones out there that are allot cheaper but where are you gonna find one with a chassi all finished and a cherry body like this one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(11/13/2012) Little description and one small pic.

The body has a top toll indent and a drain hole, but not fuel inlet. I’m going to guess there’s been some bodywork done.

Walter spotted this. Unclear how much value his here, but there appears to be some.
‘I have a 1947 Willys pickup, original, lacking tailgate, no title, and a 1977 J10 pickup with title, 6 cyl, 4 spd, 4.10 axles. I had planned on putting the Willys body on the J10 frame, and using that title, but I’m just not interested in doing projects anymore. Have too many, and its not fun like it used to be. I have not run either of them, so don’t know if they will or not. Not interested in trades or lowballers, or hearing a sad story about you not having the money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
