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 $2995.
This is either a scam or a great price.
“Original ’56 Willys Jeep, 4 cyl – 3 speed w/overdrive. New brakes, new clutch, new top, new tires, original paint, Rancho suspension.”
I thought this looked like a good rig until I noticed someone had defiled an “In N Out Burger” sticker on the dashboard. Then I actually read the new meaning, “In N Out urge”. Ok, I can live with that.
“42 WILLYS MILITARY JEEP— RUBICON PROVEN AND READY, BUICK V6, 538 GEARS, FULL LOCK FRONT N REAR, NEW BFG MUD TERRAIN TIRES, WINCH, JACK, NITROGEN BOTTLE TO FILL TIRES, LOTS OF EXTRA PARTS—WAY TOO MUCH TO LIST EVERYTHING!!!!! THIS IS A STEAL FOR 6,000!!! THIS IS ONE SERIOUS 4WHEELIN MACHINE!! CALL CRAIG @ (480) 370-3336”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Yep, that’s a hunter. No tall back seat though.
“1948 Willys Jeep, runs great, good military tires, 4WD, lockout hubs, rear pop up carrying rack, removable aluminum top with doors & window flaps, fold down winshield, 12 volt system. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
It runs and drives. Looks like a deal to me.
“Here we have I think is a military M38A1 ?? Data tags read 8 / 53 dont know much about it. Runs good, will need a
tune up. Has a 134 F head engine with a T 90 3 speed trans which will need rebuilt.. Body is not bad for its age . frame is solid…. $1000.00 OBF”
No pics, but they should be up soon.
“Original L-134 engine, original axles, etc. Needs work, but runs great. Needs a transfer case and transmission, and a fuel tank. Includes a transmission case and shifter and misc. internals. Also includes original fuel tank, though it leaks. Some new parts (not installed), including engine and transmission mounts, hand brake cable, clutch throwout bearing and carrier, and plugs and wires.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600.
It goes, but doesn’t stop so well.
“3 speed transmision, 4 wheel drive 1949 Willys Jeep. Good engine & drive tran runs and drives well, needs brakes, comes with a tow bar. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
It sounds like a really unique project, but it is still a project.
“You have to see this in person – photos don’t do it…Photos are as it came out of the paint shop…
You’re driving this down the street – it grabs the attention of EVERY single person it slips by…this is a customized 1948 Willys Overland open top roadster sitting on a custommade 2×3 mild steel box frame, built by a winning race car engineer to accommodate all the acroutrements of a donor car, a Nixxan 300ZX drive train, wiring harness, digital dash, accessories, and electronics.
I have nearly everything to complete this project (black interior fabrics, interior panels ready to cover, console, mirrors, power seats, etc etc etc). Low, and compact (only 13 feet long!) and light. Should do 150-160 mph (donor car was capable of that) and was designed to corner like an IROC Z car according to the chassis designer (rack and pinion steering, coilover shocks all around, 100% adjustable suspension, urethane bushings used throughout). Good looking 3.0 litre V-6, (looks like v-8) injected and turbocharged (225 hp, 195 ft lbs of torque – only 19,000 miles on the donor vehicle). Includes entire wiring harness, digital dash, factory stereo system with subwoofer amp and 12 speakers, most everything I can think of with the exception of driveshaft (I have the original with u-joints – just needs tube)
5 speed trans, power assist disc brakes and steering,ARE wheels, tongue and groove oak for rear bed, etc etc etc. Way too many features to list…this was a very high tech donor car).
This project is about 70-75% complete – the tough stuff is done, and everything that has been done thus far has been done right. The body is nearly flawless and has NO BONDO – all steel, and smooth as a baby’s butt over the entire car. New Corvette yellow…Nothing like it ANYWHERE ON EARTH…My 20 year effort is your gain.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This has seen some mods.
“1948 Willys with a Buick V-6. Only 44,+++ miles. Great condition! Please call 413-238-4491 and leave a message with phone # and we will get back to you ASAP. Thanks”
