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 .
Blaine spotted this unusual item. This appears to be some kind of 100 year celebration of the Philipines. How the Coke/Jeepney tribute add to this celebration is unclear to me.
UPDATE: This appears to have been sold.
There looks to be value here.
“1943 Jeep Ford GPW body complete with very little rust. Have title. Engine does not run but is complete. Has big tires and is painted purple. Great vehicle for restoration or engine upgrade. I have more pictures I can email $500 OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(05/22/2010) “1947 CJ2A WILLYS JEEP FLAT FENDER 4 CY MOTOR. ALL STOCK DRIVE TRAIN. GOOD BODY. AND FAIR PAINT 4500.00”
Brett spotted this find. It appears to include an overdrive, so this might not be a good price. It even runs.
“Very cool Jeep CJ-5, Runs and drives but needs a tune up. Way fun to drive and would be an awesome muddin’ machine. This jeep is rare as in its the old military style. It is a manual and has the 3 little shifters along with gear shifter. i dont know much about it come and buy it today!”

This looks sound.
“Engine Purrs Nice, Foot Brake pressure hard to apply. Please Call Jon : @ 575-613-2897.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000
(12/15/2015) It looks nice; is this missing the rear bow holder?
“this is a frame off total restoration with full documentation. i am the second owner. the jeep is totally original with only 500 miles on the rebuilt motor. it is in mint condition, like rolling off of the dealers show room!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
The price appears good, however the engine, though running, needs to be replaced for some reason. Also, I would check out the passenger side entrance as it looks either dented or bondoed (or both).
“This is a super cool 51 Willys! This old jeep would be a great project to restore to its glory days! Engine will run, but will need to be replaced.”
Jim asked me to post this hard top he is selling. It looks like it might be a DJ-3A top.
“I removed this top from my 1952 willys m 38 jeep and it does not fit in with my plan to build my jeep, it does not have any doors It did nt have doors when I bought it.It has a little surface rust fiberglass top is in good cond.Sorry I do not have the meens to put pics on. If you are interested please mailto:email.ourcrazyfamily4@hotmail.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
(10/11/2010) Steve spotted this ad. It is a generator that uses a Willys engine. This one appears in good shape.
“WWII military, model PE-95-G, ser.# 893, 10 kw output, Jeep gas engine powered, Onan generator; generator has 486 total hrs., engine has less than 5 hrs. since overhaul. Unit is skid mounted, and, in normal military configuration, was in a trailer for portability. It is NOT movable by hand. Weight is about 1500 lbs. Capable of either 110 or 220 volts, normal AC power. Engine is the venerable old Willys flathead 4 cylinder. Purrs like a kitten. Has all new valves, new rings, rebuilt carb, complete new tune-up & all new gaskets on engine (**except timing case cover**). Plasti-gauged all the bearings when rehabing it & they are all in new OEM spec. Also included is a copy of one of the maintenance manuals which, unfortunately, does not include basic operation info. I’m selling it because it is the old 40’s/50’s technology & honestly, it’s to complicated for this ol’ boy!! Will consider trade for part/all of price for any of the following:* 5 or 6′ 3 pt. hitch auger type snowblower, * VW based sandrail or unfinished project (notice rt. rear of pic1) or substantial parts for same, * Modern-idiot proof-5or 6 kw portable generator,”
UPDATE: Status unknown. Was listed at $2000.
(12/08/2010) I’m guessing this is either a MB/GPW body or a DJ body. It has seriously funky front and rear bumpers. The way the front bumper connects is also a little odd. Price isn’t bad though.
“VIN: CJ2A168524. 5 SPEED, 4X4, V8 AND RUNS WELL BUT HAS TWO CONCERNS: NEEDS BRAKES, AND HAS A SLIGHT ANTIFREEZE LEAK. THIS IS OUR COST ON THIS UNIT AS IT WAS A TRADE IN. FOR MORE PICTURES CLICK HERE: http://www.ronjohnsonauto.com/WILLYSJEEP.html .”
