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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
It’s pretty rough for the asking price.
“All original CJ3 runs and drives excellent no problems.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It looks like it’s got some good upgrades. It’s likely priced a bit high.

“54 willys cj3b that is a great running jeep, drives great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is nicely ‘restored’, but there is some customization. The body is an aftermarket body and the builder added a few modern updates to the dash, including the radio. It appears to have a nice PTO setup.
“I am listing this Jeep for a friend of mine. This Jeep was a maintenance vehicle at the Federal center in Colorado all of its life until the restoration. I assume this is a willies, but not sure. It has been in numerous car shows and always draws a crowd. This Jeep features: Frame off restoration, New Dual, Exhaust, New tires, New top, Chevy V6 motor, Power Take off, 8000lb winch, 4 wheel drive, runs like new… Please call Don with any questions.”
It’s not in the greatest of shape, but it is a running MB that doesn’t look all that bad. This seller has this CJ-2A and this M-38 for sale.
“1945 Willy’s MB Military Jeep, Complete Engine and Running Gear, Engine and 4 Wheel Drive Runs Good, $2500.00, Call Todd – Please Leave Message, 706.633.6072”
This is a non runner. This seller also has this MB for sale and this non-running CJ-2A jeep for sale.
“1952 M-38 Military Jeep,Complete Engine and Running Gear, Body in Decent Shape, Runs But Not Currently Running, Good Restoration Project, $1500.00, Call Todd – Please Leave Message, 706.633.6072”
Yeah, that body looks like it might be shot. This seller also has this MB for sale and this non-running M-38 for sale.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A. Complete and Original Running Gear. Great for Parts. $550.00. Call Todd – Please Leave Message. 706.633.6072”
It appears to have been restored. I see no obvious issues.

A variety of good quality images of this jeep here. It appears to be a later model ’46.
“This is my 1946 Willy’s Jeep for sale in New Ulm Texas. It has a recent new engine replacement along with the radiator, fuel pump, brakes and gas tank. Cooling hoses and belts are also new. The generator and Battery are recently replaced. Tires are in great shape. The winch is not running but could be. There are some places with rust (see pics) but not significant. The mileage is not accurate as the odometer hasnt worked in years. The car basically hasnt been driven in 10 years until I had the above mentioned work performed over the last year. It runs like new now!”
UPDATE: Well, my finger is better, though swollen and purple, but for some reason the internet is crawling very slowly tonight. So, I’ve made a couple updates and will try again in the AM (5/25). I’ll also include an update on finishing up my brakes today (yeah) and a cool video of how to re-seat a tire using WD-40 and a flame.
No updates tonight (5/23), except for the brief info below. I was pulling off one of my shocks when it suddenly slipped off, catching my finger between the shock end and the brake backing plates. It’s a nice rosy purple 🙂
The good news is that I got my custom front brake hose brackets cut and bent (pics tomorrow). I also welded the brackets on to my front housing so that I can attach limit straps for racing.
Tomorrow I’ll weld on the brake hose brackets, reattach my proportioning valve, and hook up my brake lines.
