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 .
In order to keep costs as low as possible, Cliff and the folks down at Mississippi State University have decided to rebuild the F-head that currently powers the M-38 FireJeep they have. One of the important items they need is a replacement F-head/L-head crankshaft.
If you have one that is in good shape that you’d like to donate to the cause, let me know.
Thanks,
– Dave
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Dave spotted this wagon. It looks like a pretty good updated build. My question is, why not move the wagon so you don’t have a chain link fence covering half the pic?

Just in time for some summer surfin, Roberto shares this older illustration of a CJ-3A sporting a surfboard with us. Thanks Roberto!
I wouldn’t mind getting some more shots of this 1958 Civil Defense M-38A1 from the South Plattsburgh Fire Department out of Plattsburgh, NY. This unit serves as their brush truck and currently carries 80 gallons of water, chain saw, hand tools and a booster reel supplied by a 30 gpm pump belt driven off the prime mover engine.
There might be some value here. That’s an unusual hood on the GPW (likely fiberglass).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/30/2009) Looks like a nice little jeep.
“48 willys- has oversize fuel tank, overdrive, roll cage, big wheels, 235 V-6 motor. Will trade for quad in excellent condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
“50 something, 4 x 4 – No engine/transmission. Pretty decent shape. No papers and, unfortunately, somebody stole the VIN plate. But, this is not that big a deal and the price is right. Will consider trades, what do you have? I need a Falcon or Comet, no papers necessary, for a drag car project.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks good, though it has a broken passenger-side axle.
“90% finished ground up restoration. Including: gear inspection, complete emroned frame axles and running gear, new tires, rebuilt engine and transmission with aproximately 1500 miles on them, tub pan replaced with diamond plate, all wood supports removed and replaced with steel chanel, rubberized undercarriage, all new guages, fuel and oil systems upgrade, oversized radiator, saginov steering, clean wiring, custom bench seat, brand new Bestop soft top, and many many oem replacements throughout. Sweetest running willys around, super billit build, must see to appreciate.
Whats left/wrong: Needs paint, has some rust on tail gate and windshield frame (planned on getting new ones) rest of body is rust free, and done right, guages need to be put in dash, mirrors, and wipers need to be installed
The issue: I was playing with it on the coast and broke the passenger side rear axle shaft recently, and have decided I dont have the time or ability to repair the axle. This is a super common break with lots of online info, and replacement axle shafts are 80 bucks. I have put over 10 grand into this jeep over the past 8 years, and Im letting it go for 2500! Must see to appreciate, and MUST sell.”
UPDATE: This Sold.
It appears complete, but tough to tell the rough situation.
“ran when parked last. needs starter and exhuast. split rims. $2500 OBO. call for questions ask for gary.”
