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 .
A reader of IMCDb suggested this was a vehicle called a ‘Willys Jeep Hi Railer’. This was a snapshot from the movie “It happened to Jane”
However, based on the Hy Railers at Dave’s Willys Country website, I’m less sure this is a Willys vehicle. Am I wrong?
It appears fairly original.
“1958 Willys CJ-3B jeep for sale. Only three owners — a Virginia farmer, a teenage boy who restored it, and my dad, who bought it in 1992 to haul firewood on weekends in West Virginia. It has been sitting in my garage in Chevy Chase for the last 8 years or so. It is totally solid and runs great. Very low mileage/time since engine was rebuilt. All original except seats and tailgate and roll bar. More photos available.”

Did I missunderstand the ad? It says perfect condition. But, on the pic it looks like there are holes in the passenger side.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
It’s got some issues, but unclear what they are.
“1952 Willys-M38 Jeep. Water proof,posi traction ,hotwater heaterkit,with /brz foring kit ,runs and drives well. Does need a little tlc but worth the price.
UPDATE: The winner of this auction for the low price of $1575, Joe reports he brought a new battery with him when he picked up the jeep, stuck it in the jeep and the jeep fired right up. He then drove the jeep right on to the trailer. He’s a happy camper about now. Congrats!
“1950 WILLYS JEEP in running condition. It needs brakes, has oversized tires, original spare tire and needs some body work. It would be good for running around the farm or woods, used for parts or restore it. The mileage listed may not be correct although it has not had many miles put on in the last 40 years, mostly just offroad around the property here.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Jim knows how much I loved this find.
Apart from jeeps, one of my passions is cooking. I worked as a chef for about 5 years and have loved cooking ever since. So, I think this trailer is really cool. Of course, I’d need a second trailer for a grille, a broiler, a powerful wok, a place for a cooler … oh, this just sounds like trouble. Here’s a more modern “kitchen trailer” than might work better for me.
“Very early model field kitchen, mostly original parts, perfect working order, great for reenactments, stainless steel pots, makes delicious meals.Included are four stainless steel pots: two: 18″X18″X18″deep and two: 18″X18″X12″deep, at maximum capacity it is good for 100 dinners. The pots work like pressure cookers, so delicious and healthy dinners are ready in no time. This is a wood burning kitchen, no propane necessary. Works perfectly. Originally made in Poland for the eastern front in WW2, made as an attachment to the Jeep Willys MB.”
UPDATE: I reported last week that I got my mufflers attached. Here’s some pics of that. On my last jeep, I never liked the way I connected my mufflers, so I decided this time I would create a more secure setup.
To start, I select some ‘Cherry Bomb’ mufflers that were the smallest, least expensive ones I could find at my local Schucks store. Between the headers and muffler I added a short piece of flexible pipe, in part to provide a little flexibility and to turn the corner underneath the front cage mount. Behind the muffler, I connected a tube with a 50 degree bend and an angle cut at the very end. To the tailpipe I also welded a flat piece of steel with two holes so that I could connect the muffler section to the bottom of the tube show in the pics below. You can see that I drilled a holes and inserted studs, which I welded in place, so I could easily connect the mufflers.
