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 .

“This Jeep is in great shape for its age. Motor has been completely rebuilt with all maintenance records to show it. Runs and drive great. All original body. Comes with spare tire and original gas cans. Fold down windshield. 3 spd w/ high/low. 4wd works great. Has been converted to 12 volt.We still have all parts to convert back to 6 volt if wanted. Also has an electric fuel pump. Hard to find classic. This thing is just flat out cool. Call or text me if interested. I don’t want to deal with email because all of the scammers and no I do not need help selling this vehicle. If you need more pics let me know when I took these the sun was glaring pretty bad.
Thanks, Evan 706-978-9300 ”

The seller notes a serial number of 122349 and a year of 1946. However, Neither the VIN nor the year corresponds to a M-38.
“This is a M38 Willys Jeep that has been TOTALLY restored from the ground up. Just about everything on this Jeep is brand new. New tires, body, seals, canvas, shackles, seats, rubber seals, hoses, brake lines, brakes, wheel cylinders, exhaust, bumpers, etc. The Jeep is practicaly brand new as if it just came off the assembly line in Toledo. Original parts were sandblasted to insure it would look like brand new. The Jeep as you can see has been used in many parades and has been on display in Jeep dealerships in OH, WV, PA, KY, IN, MI and more. The Jeep comes with the M100 trailer that has also been fully restored. Reason I am selling it is we have three more of these in our yard to restore plus we haven’t had much of a demand for the Jeep for parades and such this past year and instead of putting it in storage for the winter I decided to sell it. You can see the complete restore process by going to www.DisplayJeeps.com/M38 The title we have says 1946 but the Jeep is an M38 other than it has been converted to 12 volts. Starts everytime and runs like a champ.”

Does not run.
“1954 Willys Jeep CJ 3B. Great project vehicle! No brake cylinder. F-Head 4 cylinder Engine turns over but do not know if it will run. I am not the original owner.

Just when I was wondering what kind of turkey-willys post I could create for today’s holiday, Roberto forwarded me the perfect illustration. So, today I am thankful for his artistry! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller notes that there is also a hard top the winner can purchase for an additional $200.
“This is a dry Montana vehicle that was clearly kept out of the weather for most of its life, and the body is in remarkably good shape (we don’t salt our roads in Montana, so rust is not an issue as it is many other places). Many of the parts that make the CJV-35 unique are still on the Jeep, including dash plates, rear lift rings, front hooks, hood snorkel cutout, headlight rings, and the specially-notched gas tank. The jeep appears to have had one repaint in a civilian green, and US government markings can be seen poking out from below (see photos). It looks like it was in use as an US Interior Department vehicle after its time in the Marines, but no other history is known. The motor has been replaced with a good-runing 1960’s era Buick (?) V6, but the rest of the driveline appears stock. The jeep runs and drives well, has good civilian tire on it, and good seats (are these even original, perhaps in black vinyl for the underwater driving?). Brakes, steering, suspension, tranny, 4 wheel drive all work well.
Any interested parties are encouraged to look at the jeep in person and drive it. All questions via email will be answered promptly. We have attempted to take as many high-res photos as possible so that the condition of the jeep can be assessed. This is sold “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS”, and absolutely no warantees are made concerning the vehicle or its condition, either expressed or implied.
Again: restoring a military jeep is a wonderful but time and money-consuming task. If you’re going to make the investment, WHY NOT RESTORE THE BEST AND RAREST? One thing’s for sure – you will be the only one in your club with a CJV-35. Thanks for bidding and good luck!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $5600.
“This 1948 Willys Overland pick-up is offered by the owner of the last 12 years. He had it re-painted upon purchase in 1999, and has used it for local driving and some parades over the years. He says it is all in good working order apart from a fuel gauge stuck on full, and included in the sale are his detailed records for work including valves and rings and electrical over the years, along with other service records from the previous owner back to 1987.”
