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: Still Available. The GPW sold. The M-38 is still available (see comments).
“Also have M38 Jeep with engine and trans. Call for details.. 253-691-9460 PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND VIA EMAIL ”
My kids fly into town tomorrow evening, so updates will become irregular for the next week. I will update tomorrow afternoon though.
Tonight’s updates went a bit off course as I found myself exploring the archives of Mechanix. Check it out as they have some really cool stuff!
Roberto spread some christmas cheer our direction by sending some examples of his holiday jeeps. They will appear over the next few days. Thanks Roberto!
UPDATE: Glenn spotted this unusual competitor to the DJ-3A Surrey. The seller calls it a Jolly, though the magazine picture below suggests it is actually the Renault (thanks DC). The one shown below has been in the Newport Beach area for years and was once owned by the founder of Armor All. It is up for auction on eBay.

Included in the Auction is a picture of a Mechanix article that discusses the DJ-3A Surrey, the Jolly and a Renault Beach Wagon. I tried to find the original article, but couldn’t. However, I did the other Modern Mechanix articles about jeeps listed in the posts below this one. Great stuff!
This article ran in the September 1949 issue of Mechanix. This might just qualify as the first Hi Hood!

Mechanix ran this article and picture on the future of the jeep in December of 1944. I think I might have this picture somewhere else, but never new its origin.

Bruce spotted this unusual christmas gift for Nieman Marcus shoppers.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $2000.
This looks like a great price.
“1949 Willys Jeep, CJ3A, runs and drives good, new brakes and suspension, 12V, key start, rebuilt engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
There seems to be some value.
“old willys jeep with a flat head merc v8, engine turns over but would need work to have running, transmission seems to shift fine, clutch does not seem to work.”
Here is a strangely modified truck pointed out by James.
“This is a 1947 2wd willys truck that is a flatbed. The eng runs great and it drives good too. The truck has been customized to a rag top and behind the windshield to the back of the cab is all well made. This is something you must see to get a true picture. It has the 6cyl with the 3speed on the floor trans and all original axles,shafts and frame. I was told dodge made these for the military for a short time but don’t know a lot about it. The miles are low and there is no smoke or bad noises in the drive line. One windshield is cracked but the dash is in good condition and the steering is tight. There is functional exaust stacks on it as well. I have seats for it and a console but they are not in it as of yet. I just put a 54.00 electric fuel pump on it. It still needs the wood doors replaced but I have one for a pattern and the floors were just replaced and painted. The bed is in great shape. Feel free to ask any questions and I will answer them all.”
