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 .
The paint isn’t in perfect shape, but this might be a fun ride. Has updates.

“Classic 1949 Willys Jeepster, convertible. New tires, minor transmission leak. Burnt orange in color with leather interior.”
This estate sale took place earlier this month. Maybe the jeep is still available (ad is still up)?

No pics provided. It sounds most like a 3A or M-38.

“1952 willys jeep

Unclear how well it drives (question mark about this on the windshield). It’s got the early grille, but later fenders.

“Good running Jeep trades accepted titled and ready to do your work.”
The hardtop on this early CJ-5 was interesting, particularly the doors. I’m sure it’s a 1970s or later top.

“‘55 CJ5 with original motor, 3 speed, near new tires and shocks. Top and doors come off. Currently not running and needs a new battery, which I’m taking care of. Comes with original metal gear directions. Perfect for someone with the time to tinker. Odometer doesn’t work and didn’t when I bought it a few years ago.”
Bill shared this project. The seller notes this is “the best jeep you will find”. You be the judge. The tub has been modified with a script back. There are additional mods, such as the front springs being reversed. Strangely, this rig was included in this Hemmings write-up.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $10,000.
Neat truck with some interesting history, but it doesn’t run.
“51 Willys Overland Pickup.
Currently not running
This vehicle was originally used by Truckee, Ca Forest Service as a snow plow truck.
Vehicle has been in California its whole life. I’m the fifth owner last owner got it in 1972”
This looks pretty solid for an early, neglected M-38A1.

“1964 Willy Jeep with hard top. Its been sitting for many years. Was supposed to be a project.”
The starting price on this MB is only $10,000. I expect it will sell for higher than that! Thanks to Bings for sharing it.

Mark is selling his Jeepster Commando. He is offering $500 off for military veterans. Email him at mark3phillips58 @ gmail.com (remove the spaces from around the “@”) for more information.
Glenn shared this jeep with a VEC CJ-2A body. Note the frame is described as “perfect” even though it appears modified at the front frame rails and, I suspect as a cheap lift, the rear spring hanger on the front springs has been modified.

“Almost completely rebuilt with a Jeep Dauntless V6. Frame is perfect, I’m trying to thin out my Jeep collection. It’s in primer black and is considered an early Jeep. Email only, no trades and cash only.”
