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: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Runs and drives.
“Jeep runs and drives but needs brake work and tlc. Will trade for ATV or bang bang. Call with other offers.but I found my deer lease.truck so that is not an option.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(06/13/2011) “For sale a 1946 Willys Jeep that is in good condition. Has the original 4 cyl. engine, but has been converted over to a 12 volt system. Has a next to new custom fully enclosed soft top. The Jeep comes with a full set of street tires, and a full set of mudding tires. The Jeep was purchased by my folks to use for road hunting grouse, and they have owned it for a couple of years but no longer use it. Please note, although this Jeep is licensed and does have a title, it only goes a maximum of 45 mph on the highway. It was designed for off highway use. It does have a removable tow bar on the front, and heavy duty hitches on the back.”
The new design …. isn’t done yet. I’ve reverted back to the old design. I’ve made some good strides on it, but there’s more to be done. I’m going to focus on my next book for a short while and return to the updated site changes at a future date.
Updates later tonight . . .
While searching for more information about Johnny Cash’s 462 CJ-5, about which I found very little, I ran across these two websites.
The first is a resource for people interested in the rare model of CJ-5 called a Super Jeep. You can visit the website here: http://www.superjeep.info
The second is a website devoted to information about the CJ-5 Camper: http://www.cj5camper.com/
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This appears unrestored, though the front frame horns have been extensively patched.
“This is an original unrestored, 1943 MB Willys Jeep. “The Wolfhounds” MB 204065 is as complete and almost rust free as you will ever find. This jeep has always been garaged and has a clear Title.
The Willys Jeep were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeeps
Let me share with you her “History” throughout the message I received when I bought it from the previous owner’s daughter:
“Wolfhounds are painted on the jeep. The jeep may have been in the wolfhound division of the war. The serial number of the jeep might give more insight as to where it was in the war theatre.
The jeep was originally purchased by my dad in California 1962. I learned to drive in the desert in this jeep in Carson City NV and will always cherish that memory. To change to 4 wheel drive you have to get out, change the lugs and I did it by myself. There are many memories of travels in the jeep – we went to Ft. Wingate New Mexico, Kit Carson cave, and the Painted Desert one summer. It was hot since no air conditioning but we did not care. What a great time especially for a young person.
The jeep has been in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and towed to Alaska on the Alaskan Highway (ALCAN) where my dad worked on the XXXXXX in the 1970’s. The jeep then came back to Nevada and then moved to Texas in 1996 where it has been ever since. The jeep has been in our family all these years and it has been well cared for.
It is hard to part with such a great piece of history but we will always have the memories”
As of today this jeep has been called and known under the name <>
This jeep comes complete with all five combat rims, tools and original canvas (not in the picture). This jeep has been transformed in 12V electrical system but I have all the original parts to put her back in 6V (see pictures)
The engine is very strong post war engine but in order for you to have a great match I am selling with the jeep a complete MB Engine to rebuilt MB 229569″
There’s some value here.

All original with diesel? I did a little research and there is a rumor that a few M-38A1s destined for export had diesels in 1952 (http://www.willysmjeeps.com/v2/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=4725). If that really did happen, then I suppose it is possible that a M-38 could have had one installed as well. However, I have seen no other evidence to support this.
“Testing the waters with this all original 4 cyl. diesel.”
