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 .
Steve spotted these trailers. I’m not sure what vehicles were designed to tow them, but they look like they are rugged and could be handy behind a jeep or tractor.

“Two 1950’s military trailers. Rusty but functional. Missing tow bars.
Phone calls only.”
This seems worth a look.

“Koenig Iron Works complete enclosure top from a 1955 Willys Jeep CJ-5. Comes with the top, two sides, back door and both side doors. Some glass is cracked but still intact, both side door windows move freely and come with all original hardware. Back door hardware functions as it should. The top is in very good condition. There is some rust and or holes, on some pieces, but overall, this would be great for a restoration project and is solid. I have the majority of the screws, etc., but they are standard size so replacing is not difficult. Also included are the old interior door panels, which are shot but could be used as templates for replacement.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1750.
(07/30/2021) This may actually be a CJ-3A? The body is fiberglass.

“Collection of parts to build a 1953 Willy’s cj3b. Fiberglass tub, frame, axles. I have the transmission case but am missing internals. Complete transfer case, pto drive. Radiator, No motor.
Only body part missing is a hood. Also have the title.”
Could use some new paint.

“1948 Willys Delivery 350 Chevrolet with demon carb TH 350 trans mustang front end. Ford rear end.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
(02/25/2022) Sounds like it may run, but needs a tune up.
“Selling the coolest thing ever!
A Willys Jeep M170 combat Ambulance from 1962. Jeep is in original condition and could benefit from a time up. Comes with original canvas top (needs some patching) and door panels. Has siren, shovel, and axe. Has passenger seat from M38 Jeep. Also has a military trailer (photo coming) that hooks up to it.
My young family is expanding and as much as I want to keep this, my family needs a more modern family friendly vehicle more. Ah, decisions!
Will need to trailer or tow away.”
I ran across this magazine on eBay. Given the cover, I couldn’t resist buying it, though there was no other jeep pics or illustrations within it.
Could be worth a look.

(02/20/2022) The body looks in great shape. The custom console under the dash seems a nice fit (though probably not easy to get to given it is behind the shifters).

“Very nice finished Willys with newer Buick overdrive V-6 Detroit locker rear end with floater kit, 11 inch brakes. 4×4 lifted with tight suspension. Tow bar connector under front bumper. Solid straight body and undercarrige. Newer seat also has good floors and tub. This rig really likes to go fishing. Clean title $12,000 Plains Mt.”
This looks in good shape. Is that a heater blower on the dash? I don’t recognize it. The green windshield piece on the interior must be a defroster?
https://prescott.craigslist.org/cto/d/prescott-1946-willys-jeep/7459071200.html
“1946 CJ2A Willys Jeep. Buick V6, runs good. Lots of work done and recent parts. Very nice best top and doors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
While I doubt this served during the Korean War (which ended in mid-1953 .. see G503 discussion), this is the USMC version (Note the rings at the ends of the rear bumper) .
“1953 Jeep M38A1. Built for the USMC. Served in the Korean Conflict. Recently invested 5k (receipts available). All new brakes, fuel system, and hand wrapped wiring loom. Unique and collectable. Body is rough. Clear CA title. Serious inquiries only!”
Seller will sell for less without hardtop.

Hard top and doors from newer CJ3b ? home made adapters to fill side area around windshield and tub. Aftermarket heater, Brakes don’t work, no fluid. no seats,early 60’s GM column, probably same Buick as engine.

Has tow bar so it can be flat towed. but hard top and front clip only has a few bolts holding them on.
willys with out hard top and doors $2200
may sell hard top and doors separate, some glass broke $1300”
There are no doors, but the top looks in good shape.

“I am selling an original Koenig hardtop that came as original equipment on a 1946 CJ2A. This hardtop is in excellent condition, no rust or dents or past repairs. Even contains the original padding/insulation on the roof. All the glass is perfect and they open as if new. The only negative about this top is the color but of course can be repainted. I do not have the doors. It should be noted that the jeep is not for sale, only the hardtop.”
