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 .
“2 1956 Willys wagon for sale or trade. i will consider a trade for a Willys truck. Two bodies, the white one has a frame under it. Not sure on the condition of the frame. The green is off its frame. The frame looks to be in good condition for its year. Looks like if you mix windows you will have a full set with no cracks. All windows are in both bodies, but some are cracked. Green body looks like it is in good shape. Little problem around the rear wheel well. One set of seats. No good engines. White has old block, and looks like tranny in back of it. Any other questions, please email me. Do have a backhoe to load them up for you.
The CJ-5/M-38A1 and the red M-38 have been sold. Only the blue M-38 is left.

(08/21/2012) This doesn’t run and doesn’t have a valid title.
“I have this amazing little jeep that I bought from a buddy of mine that was clearing his property to sell and I thought I would restore it but I was just let go from my job and have to downsize my car collection.
At any rate, the Willys is very complete and original down to the original Motorola radio (not sure if it works but it’s there)
Original 134ci (2.2l) flat head 4cyl hooked to the 3spd manual and original twin stick transfer case. Axles, suspension, steering, and even shackles are also original. Frame has surface rust but absolutely no rot.
Has a few rusty spots in the normal areas on the body and there are a few patch panels but firewall forward is in amazing shape, not even a dent in either fender. Has newer 1 piece windshield on it now but comes with original WILLYS stamped squared off split windshield and a couple of fabric doors in ok shape but no top. Hood is bent in but can be easily pushed back to shape
I haven’t been able to start it for a couple reasons (mainly because I can’t find spark plug wires that fit the ignition cap) and no time to play with it. Carb is also off and needs a lot of cleaning, but is the original from ’48. Oil bath air filter is also in good shape.
It appears to have been converted to 12V at one time, but I’m not certain, so I would make sure of that before tossing a battery in it just to see if it cranks. . . .

I am a little surprised that this brochure was published in 1999.

“This “Jeep” is in excellent condition. Having only 2 owners within the last 55 years it is obvious that it has been well taken care of and maintained. The first owner used the PTO to cut firewood on the farm. The current owner is a Jeep collector and has keep the truck stored indoors. If you are looking for a classic vintage “working mans” truck, here it is!”
