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 $900.
Purchase both CJ-3As for $900 or buy 1 for $500. Both run and go forward.
“I am selling 2 1952 jeep willys both run and drive. Great restoration projects. $500 each or $900 for both. “
It appears there have been several customizations, so check it out thoroughly.
“original rebuilt motor, new carb., sandblasted and painted, new wiring, and runs great. contact kevin at 623-266-2302”
This is a very good price on a race jeep that looks ready to go. Get ready for summer! I think this has reversed springs in the front. I can’t tell if the back springs are outboarded or not. I’m gonna guess the body is a fiberglass one piece bobcat body, judging by the thickness of the rim around the back side of the body that either tilts up or you lift off. The desert dogs look in very good shape as do the rims. The paint job is unique as well.
“Race Jeep, Chev. 350, 4 speed trans. disc brake 44 front end, 44 rear end. Runs and drives. Mount body and its ready to go racing.”

Here’s an example of how an M-38A1 can be improved with some paint, some parts, and creativity. As Jim notes, “from ugly yellow hunting jeep back to what it should be…”

Here’s another M-38A1. By painting it green, installing some parts, and adding some touches, it adds a great deal to the military feel.

Jim writes that this one was “One of my favorites, had a lot of character. This CJ3B was a really ugly ranch jeep I found in Montrose Colorado. Ran and drove well and after I got it home, figured out a way to make use of that ugly bed extension. Every tourist and kid in downtown Durango loved this thing!”
When I saw this thing for sale, I bluntly said I didn’t understand it. But, after looking at the ‘before’ pictures, I can see Jim took the hand he was dealt and played it creatively. Make sure to see the pics of the backend.

It’s rough, but runs.
“1957 Jeep FC-150. Runs and drives, but needs total restoration. Stock drive train and axles (F134, T-90 trans, dana 18 tcase, 25 front, 44 rear). Cab is rusty – bed is solid. Missing heater and wipers. Needs new glass all around. Recent work perfromed: Rebuilt carb. New master cylinder. Installed 11″ drum brakes on front axle. New rear cross member. Rebuilt steering components (drag link and bell crank)”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
I suspect that the suspension has been modified to accomodate those tires. I’m not positive this is a CJ-3A.
“1949 willys jeep $2500 firm it is worth every penny, runs and drives geart, original flrt head 4 banger, new exhaust, seats in brand new condition, 4×4 works great, 36″ goodyear military tires, 12 volt very relieable. call dave at 602 740 8080”
No pictures provided. Sounds like the jeep might be rough.
