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: Price dropped to $1500
(05/28/2010) “Pair of 1952 Willys jeeps-one has a Ford 289 and the other has a Buick V6. Both are in running condition but the 289 jeep needs the passenger knuckle rebuilt. There are no titles but you will recieve a signed bill of sale.They will make great off-roaders or rock crawlers. Buy the pair for $1500 or buy the one with the top for $1000 and the other for $500-you’re going to have a ton of fun!”
hmm ..

This might have been listed previously, but I can’t locate it. It looks familiar. This has a great old winch.
“1951 Willys, runs good. You can fix it up or use it for hunting just like it is.”

If you need 2 CJ-5 parts jeeps, these might foot the bill.
“I have 2 CJ5s for sale; the pictured one is complete, but is a project (will need a new bucket). The second one has no body, and the engine has seized and been torn down when I got it; that engine is on an engine stand that will go with them. I believe I have enough running gear parts for the second to be complete. I have 3 windshield frames (glass is there but cracked), and 2 grills. I am looking to clear some space in the garage and just do not have time to work on these. I have clear title on one of them, no title for the second.”

You don’t see too many white-wall tires like those on jeeps!
“This is a road worthy ’53 Willys Jeep CJ-3B that starts with the turn of the key and runs great. Vehicle has a 289 Ford V8 (unknown mileage) coupled to the original transmission and transfer case that features an overdrive. Vehicle also has locking/unlocking hubs which makes for less wear and better fuel economy. The vehicle has the original gauges with all but the gas gauge operating. Also, the electrical system has been upgraded to a 12 volt system and incorporated 2 speed wipers and electric emergency/parking brake. The interior seats are black vinyl with no cuts, rips or tears and DOES NOT have seat belts., vehicle does however, have a roll bar. Also, she has a new canvas top with doors,new shocks,and new springs with 2 inch risers. The brakes haven’t been worked on by me as they seem to work fine. You also get 10 tires: one set of four street tires with 3 1/2 inch white walls mounted on stock rims and 6 mud & snow tires mounted on stock rims. The body is in fair shape (no wrecks to my knowledge) but has rust repair areas with new Banana Yellow paint to cover her scars. Of course I have no way of knowing how many miles are on the vehicle/engine etc. the mileage on the odometer reads 68548. I’ll be happy to answer any questions upon request–Thanks.”
This looks like a good price on a very early M-38a1.
“1952 M38-A1 first year of the round fender jeeps, Original engine, 24V electrics, restorable body. Was used as a fire truck after it left the Army. Still has the Army green paint underneath. Engine is siezed from storage. Great project vehicle mostly original. Some extra parts. Please put WILLYS in the subject line when e-mailing.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a beautiful build.
“We recently retired and moved from California to Wisconsin on the Rock River I purchased the Willys about two years ago (California vehicle-no rust). I made a few minor improvements but for the most part it is as I purchased it. When we arrived in Wisconsin I ended up buying a boat and a couple of wave runners for the Grandkids. Running out of room so I have to get rid of some things.
This is a 1951 Willys with four wheel drive that works. It has a 327 Corvette engine, not sure of year. Tires are Steel Belted Radial 32 x 11.50, 15”. Rims are “American Racing”. Has a new Pioneer Radio/CD player, new battery, an electric antenna, and a power wench. Speedometer shows 3701 (not original speedometer) had 200 on when I bought. This is not a show car. Has a few nicks and two spots on the roll bar where the paint got rubbed off (see picture). Other than that, it runs great and is a fun vehicle to drive (very quick). Gets lots of attention wherever I go.”
