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 .

“1942 GPW. Runs good but needs some work. Frame and engine serial numbers match. Body had panels put on some time ago but holes were never drilled. I bought to restore, but I am moving overseas on short notice and unable to take with me. If interested, let me know and we can arrange a time to look at it. Bill”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.
This is a great looking CJ-5 with, if I’m not mistaken, the Tuxedo Park IV package.
“Hard to find Original Tuxedo Park, Warn Overdrive. You will be hard pressed to find a better one.”
This looks pretty good. The seller also has a 2nd M-38 and a M-38A1 for sale.
“Title says 1942. This jeep runs and drives but has some minor body needs. Has a M38 artic top with data plates. Starts right up. Has L head engine and floating rearend. Has the heavy duty frame that CJ2 and 3A’s do not have. The grille is from a 3A and has been converted to 12 volts. Great 3A project with heavy duty front and rear bumpers that both have ball hitches. Could use a tune up. But she runs. I believe its a 52 or 53? M38’s were actually heavy duty 3A’s made for punishment. Only made 3 years 51, 52, and again in 55.
Also have a 2nd M38 with the correct grille and other parts for sale. It has a 302 that runs but neeeds body work and master brake cylinder work. Its title says 43 and its $1600 with the artic top with M38 data tags. This is a flat fender unlike the M38A1 which is the first round fender.
Have one of those [M-38a1] for sale 90% restored to military use, for $5500 .”

Brett spotted this Ad. Note the seller will throw in a windshield for additional money….
“For sale is a 1949 Jeep CJ 2a. The jeep is rust free, the engine has been rebuilt and the electric system upgraded to 12 V . (New Starter, altinator, distributer wiring, lightning,…)
New clutch, brakes and suspention has been rebuilt. New batterie.New tires. The jeep is running very well, however it still needs a speedometer and ampmeter, seat upholstery and a windshield( if wanted). I can provided this if wanted at additional costs. Overall a nice almost finished jeep. Willing to trade part trade for guns.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Very Nice.
“This vehicle is perfect for the Willys enthusiast! Beautiful condition. 226 6cyl hurricane flat head motor. 3-speed manual transmission with electric o/d”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2950.
(11/29/2010) This appears to have the original chrome rimmed tail lights (an upgrade option from the stock driver’s side only tail light).
“Nice straight Willys CJ2A with the split front windshield. About as original as you will find with the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I have gone through alot of the mechanics and it starts and runs great. I have replaced the fuel tank, radiator, seat frames and seats and it has a newer soft top. The body is in fair condition and does have some rust and Bondo. The floors are all solid. This Jeep would make a good hunting rig or could be restored.
Please call Shawn at (509) 346-3212 for more information.”

SAS artwork from Cranston Fine Arts in the UK. I’m unsure if any prints of the below works are still available.
Brian wrote me asking if I knew what type of engine this was. He pulled it out of a old WWII Jeep and didn’t recognize it. He wrote that the Head cast was #634816 and the block casting#630282. In particular, he noted the exposed cylinder tubes.
I told him I didn’t know what it was, and confessed that I had never worked with any MB/GPW motors, but I would do my best to figure it out (I do enjoy a good internet hunt). After searching through various images I could see it was similar to a MB and GPW motor, but was also different.
For example, you can see examples of GPW heads here at Dino’s site and though it looks similar, it’s missing various features. Here is an example of MB block. In fact, if you go here, you can review all kinds of WWII engines.
After trying various keyword images searches, I tried typing in the casting numbers and that is when I discovered that the head was a pre war head from a Willys Model 37. So, then I looked at prewar Willys. On this page http://clubs.hemmings.com/clubsites/wocv/willywilly/willywilly.htm on the fourth pic down, you can just make out, just below the distributor, similar indentations on a 1938 Willys. Here is a better look at a prewar block.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a VEC #11500 for sale over at the CJ2A Page (Thanks Bill).
This Jeep has no title. The transmission was switched to a later floor shift version. The transfer case may, or may not be original, the early style 4-rib park brake drum is present.
The engine is not the original chain engine, but it is a low serial number CJ-2A 33843, it looks like an early 1946 engine in it.
