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: Was $600. **SOLD**
(07/20/2011) The seller lists this as a ’42, but I”m not sure there is any ’42 here.
“1942 Willys Jeep, 4 Wheel Drive, Original 4 Cylinder Flathead Engine. All Running Gear, Original Extra Engine & Transmission, Extra Complete Front & Rear Running Gear. Has Not Been Started in Years.”
UPDATE: Laundry, lunch, done .. now for updates.
(from Thursday ) I went jeeping in a ford mustang for a couple days and got stuck on a faraway island with only canadian wireless. It turns out those crazy canadians dont want to share their wireless cheaply. We are talking dollars a minute in international charges. So, while i love you all, i dont love you that much 🙂
Even in this remote, faraway place, my intrepid jeep instincts didnt fail me. I spotted gpw #4484 (or thereabouts) housed in a glass paned garage no less at a house for sale. No one was home so we let ourselves in to take some pics. It even has an interesting winshield mod.
I will return to the real world late tonight with some updates and pics of the gpw i found.
A reader plans to buy a CJ-3A body kit for his 1949 CJ-3A. He was leaning towards either Morris 4×4 Center or Willys Overland. Does anyone have any thoughts or experience with a full body kit purchase?
Warren forward this fun link. Click on the pic.
According to the website that holds the panorama, “This is image was taken in Circasia Quindio Colombia. Its the place where the cattle is sold every weekend. It is also a place where all the farm people go and sell vegetables and meat. The Fire Department is located there. The jeeps are the famous Willys that take people into the mountain to work their farming.”
UPDATE: Brandon visited this museum recently and files the following notes, “The museum’s collection includes Ford GP #1, Bantam BRC-40, Willys MA, GPA, slat grille MB, GPW, and M38.”
The Veteran’s Memorial Museum in Huntsville, Alabama, houses three early jeep prototypes.
From the Website, “The Museum displays more than 30 historical military vehicles from World War I to the present, as well as tableaus, artifacts, and other memorabilia dating back to the Revolutionary War. Supporting organizations include the 19th Alabama Infantry, which sponsors exhibits from 18th and 19th Century conflicts, and the 8th Air Force Historical Society, which sponsors a Bomb Group briefing room. Both of these organizations support ‘living history’ presentations at the Museum.”
There appears to be a Bantam BRC 40 in the back, a Ford GP to the far left of the photo, a Willys MA just to the left and another Ford Pygmy to the right. I haven’t found any other info that describes what the museum has. Anybody been to this museum?
Here is a closeup of the Ford Pygmy from the museum site.
In case you plan a trip to North Korea, you won’t have to leave behind your love of Willys, for the War Museum in North Korean Museum has a captured one there. http://www.travelthewholeworld.com/northkorea.html
This appears DJ-3Aish to me. This is probably a mish mash of parts.

This fiberglass body has an unusually short dash. I can’t tell if it came that way or if it was cut.
“Willy’s CJ2A 1948. Fiberglass tub, all tires 99%, newer wheels, Baja lights, new starter switch and master cylinder, tow bar. The brakes need bleed, battery works but needs replaced, and engine is hard mounted. It also has a transmission leak from somewhere. Engine starts easily. Four wheel drive works. The title says 1949 but the VIN is from the 1948 period so I’m not sure what happened there. No VIN tag. Head 648830 engine P31351. from what I can tell its a F-head engine M-38. Block 646228-L-W10ANI-CR-N2.
Willy’s CJ2A 1946 parts jeep. Dualmatic hubs, hood is restorable, gas tank appears to be good, transmission appears to be ok, wheels are restorable, vin tag in place. VIN 79023, tailgate 6988. The engine was already removed whe I got it. I pulled it apart and it appears to be rebuildable. Head 640161 engine J206101. No title for this jeep. Block 641087-L-W7ANI-CR-N2 4-22.
I have described these to the best of my ability. It has been a while since I wrote all these numbers etc down so I hope I got them all correct. If you have questions please ask. I bought these to restore but due to back problems I had to stop.
I have more pictures if interested. All pictures were taken today. I plan to loosely assemble the spare motor with all misc parts bagged and tagged. All is sold as is and final.”

The body on the Jeep is totally solid and rust free. I have inspected the body and can not find any obvious rust or repair patches whatsoever. The Jeep has lived its life in dry Arizona and Colorado and has always been well cared for. The paint on the Jeep is a Jade Green Metallic, a more classy upgrade from olive drab and looks simply awesome. The Jeep is straight as an arrow and the paint job is very nice. The Jeep has been completely inspected underneath from front to back and is solid as a rock as an western car should be. The bottom of the tub, as well as wheel wells are painted green just like the top. The rubber seals under the hood and windshield are new. Every nut, and bolt was removed before paint, cleaned painted correctly then re-installed. The meticulous level of the restoration is obvious when walking around this CJ. The underside was also nicely redone and all suspension, axles, and floors were nicely sprayed with semi-gloss black.
