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 .
It has a bad engine.
“very rare one of a kind looking for serious offers also interested in trades has bad engine call mike at 603 401 6767”

This looks like a solid foundation for a project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
The fix for the engine can’t be that complex.
“Red, low mileage, original drive train, engine, PTO, towbar, near new top, good body, 12 volt conversion. “As is” This jeep ran purrfectly until one day I had the hood up while it was running and was bragging to my neighbor how smooth it ran. I then closed the hood, it stopped running and I couldn’t get it started after that. I’m not a mechanic and haven’t a clue what it might be. I think this car would be have a NADA value of approximately $10,000.00 if it were running today. Please look at the pictures below and call me with any questions.”
This M-38 looks solidily rebuilt.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
There might be some value here. I suspect it can be snagged pretty cheaply.
“1950 WILLYS OVERLAND………..MOTOR WAS REBUILT YEARS AGO, YET THERE IS PROBABLY LESS THEN 5 K ON IT, AND SINCE THEN, IT HAS SAT FOR THE BETTER PART OF MAYBE 20 YEARS. YOU COULD PUT A “CJ” FIBERGLASS BODY ON IT AS OFFERED IN J.C. WHITNEY CATLOG ……………….

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It looks like an ok price.
“1948 Willys Jeep with 1953 motor. New carb., springs, wheel cyl., tires.”
UPDATE: Was $7000. **SOLD**
(04/29/2010) Here’s a beautiful CJ-2A. The seller would prefer to sell it locally.
“Mostly restored but some work still needed on steering (I have parts) and the brakes need some attention. I bought this a couple of years ago with the intent of completing restoration. I immediately developed some serious health issues, which is the reason for the sale. Would like to get somewhere around the $8500 I paid for it. I’m open to reasonable offers. This jeep runs like a new one and is drivable as it is. Included is a half top with doors from Beachwood Canvas. Everything works (yes, even the lights and gauges!) Too much to write about, if interested get in contact via email and I will give you my phone number. Please write “red jeep” in the subject box to hopefully avoid spam/scam. Local sale only.”
It appears in decent condition and looks complete. It might not be bad price.
“This is a one-of-a kind, hard to find jeep. It’s in good condition, does need some motor work. Call Larry at 270-268-3208 will take OBO”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2250
(03/29/2010) Is this a rare Maverick? I’m not a Maverick expert …
“1960 Willys Wagon ready to restore. New brakes, wheel bearings, great body, overdrive, Maverick Series. Engine runs but smokes. 402-571-7226”
http://omaha.craigslist.org/cto/1666497478.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000. this might have a rare M-38 split windshield.
Here’s what looks like a M-38 (it’s even printed on the front bumper), which means the seller’s year of 1944 is off for some reason. Though, it appears to be missing the passenger side tool indents. This will require a closer look.
“For sale is a partially restored 1944 Willys Jeep. Engine and running gear runs well. $4000.00 OBO. Please respond via email.”
