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 .

“Willys Jeep for sale or trade. Selling my projects and this cool Jeep is one V6 motor and 3 speed Has lots of rust on body but frame looks great Was told starter is not working but have not had any time to work on it Would make great hunting rig or Completely restore it I don’t know much about the Jeep”
“I bought this m38 at a auction. Decided to focus on my cj6 projects so selling. Parts only bill of sale only. I haven’t messed with it since i got it so no clue on engine status”
(09/16/2022) Unclear how much value is here. The driver’s side front spring near the rear shackle was somehow badly damaged. I’d say there are a few more items missing than just the windshield and brake lever ….
“Willys-Jeep CJ-2A, only missing windshield and emergency brake lever. Has all the hard to find parts. This is the 7 slot grille civilian model. Serious inquiries only”
UPDATE: It’s been almost nine years since I posted a series of Testimonials to the early jeeps that were part of a very rare early sales book. Most, but not all, included images. A friend of mine shared them with me. You can see them all here: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/1946-testimonials/

Thanks to Andy for sharing this rare rig. I believe less than 40 of these were produced. Learn more at the CJ-3B Page: https://cj3b.info/Fire/BlitzBuggy.html
“1957 Willy’s Blitz Buggy. 200 mile on complete engine overhaul. Never any rust. Way cool.”
This has a replacement body. The package includes a trailer. The grille has either been replaced with an earlier grille, or this is an earlier jeep. Note the rear floating hubs, too.
“1948 CJ-2A and M416 trailer. This jeep originated as a civilian CJ-2A and was restored to a military theme. 134ci “Go Devil” four cylinder engine. 12 Volt conversion with new battery 11/22. Body panels are pretty much rust free on the jeep and the trailer. There are some surface scratches in the paint and decals.

I am happy to send more pics and answer any questions. See video https://www.facebook.com/coololdstuf/ Jeep and trailer will come with a Missouri certificate of title.
