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 .
Paul discovered this plate on the driver’s side cowl of his M-38A1. Anyone know what it does?
Paul writes, “1952 m38a1-thought this was some sort of id plate at first. Looked inside glove box, has a backing plate and bondo fills the holes. any idea what was mounted? thank you.”
Unlike the advertising by Willys Overland, this ad by New York City based A.W. Pickett is sedate and forgettable.

“fter much thought and prayer I’ve decided to put my Jeep up for sale.I’m the third owner and have known this Jeep since new.It belonged to my Uncle’s neighbor,he bought it new,he was old in the 70’s when I was kid.I lost track of it for a while, but it turned out didn’t go to far and i got to buy it. I’ve owned it fifteen years and had lots and lots of fun in it. Hunting trips,trips to Colorado 4 wheeling in the mountains in SE Ok. but I’m going to sell it and use the money for my buisness.This Jeep is mostly all original except for a new correct Carter YF carb,headlight switch,dimmer switch and a few things like that.Has a fairly new set of 700×15 mud and snows,probally not more than 3000 miles on them. Had just very,very little rust under the gas tank that was fixed when painted,been in Ok. all its life and kept inside a lot of the time. I put new brake shoes on it 4 or 5 years ago.I would not afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere,it has failed to start one time in fifteen years,I let the battery go dead.It has been dependable,dependable. Drive it as far as you can on a back road and shut it off,it will start when you get back. It roads out really well for an old Jeep it will run 55 down the highway pretty easy,I’ve took a lot of twenty five mile hi-way trips in it. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000!
(07/12/2012) Really Nice!
“Fully restored 1948 CJ2A Four Wheel Drive Willys Jeep.
Everything works and is in great condition, even has the original factory color!
This show Jeep is even an AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) 1st Place winner!!!
Originally the Jeep came from a country estate in Pennsylvania and it NEVER had any rust on the body!
My Father did a full body off restoration 4 years ago and it has been sitting in his clean, dry basement (he drained the gas) ever since.
As you can see from the picture the vehicle only has 27.5 miles since he finished restoring it… this has to be one of the nicest Jeeps in the entire country!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

“1947 Jeep CJ-2A Willys, civilian version jeep. I bought this jeep 12 years ago with the plan to restore. It was running when I bought it. Stripped, Sandblasted, new seals, New body mounts, new suspension, new exhaust and that is where I stopped. Jeep has been sitting either in garage or carport for 10 years. Still Turns over (with a wrench, needs wiring etc. ) needs the final restoration. Cool project and wish I had time to finish. Looking to trade for something usable for my family now. Jetski, running vehicle or even a new Deck. Reply via email with any Possibility.”
