About eWillys
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.
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 .
Here’s a rarely seen vehicle. Though rare, the price still seems a bit high given the condition.
“Selling my 1961 Jeep Mighty Mite M422-A1. Extremely rare vehicle that is awaiting restoration. This is not a Jeep Willys or other military vehicle. Most people have never even heard of this truck let alone seen one. Search yahoo or google for a complete history of this exceptional vehicles history. Here are some pics of my truck on the trailer and one image of a fully restored Mighty Mite for reference: ”
Before there were jeeps, drivers had to amuse themselves with vehicles somehow. Before there was Willys Overland there was just Overland. In 1907, wondering where 500 cars he ordered were, John North Willys found himself having to ask friends to inject cash into Overland after he discovered he wouldn’t get his cars if he didn’t (the company would have gone bankrupt). So, in 1920 you have an Overland (maybe the 1918 Overland 90 Touring model) made by Willys Overland, what can you do with it if you don’t have four wheel drive?
You jump it of course! On September 5, 1920, the driver below, Henry Alegria, a Basque Pioneer in Idaho, drove this four cylinder Overland touring car over an 18 foot gap between two ramps. I’m assuming he survived the jump. It looks pretty crazy, given the driver probably had no seat belt. I found the photo in a book by Arthur A. Hart called Life in Old Boise that someone gave me recently. The book has some great pics, which are more enjoyable if you know Boise, Idaho, at all.
It sounds like this is a bit of a project. Includes a trailer.
“here is a vary rare 45 ford army jeep and trailer and has been used for mostly hunting and camping from summer to summer and has been in my family since new.im sellen it for my great aunt witch is the origianl owner.i have a clean title in hand also is curently not running do to a frozze starter and bad wireing and i need to sell asap. There are many extra parts to go with it such as the full cloth doors and top,extra hubs,seats,and misc little stuff ,and the triler is a home made job,bottom line this jeep would make a great toy or father /son project with just a little tlc.”
This might not be a bad price. It’s worth a look if the body is in as good of shape as advertised. For Northern Exposure fans, Roslyn, Wa, was the real setting for the fictional city of Cicely, Alaska. (Here’s some filming locations)
“This jeep has been used summers at our cabin in Roslyn, put in covered storage in winters. Has newer F head 4 cylinder, rebuilt rearend and brakes, rewired, new battery, tow bar, bikini top, original skinny rims and weathered tires. Runs well, easy to drive, 4 wheel drive shifts and works perfect. Over all good shape, but not perfect by any means, no body rust through at all, some minor cosmetic body rust on the side but that is all. Worked perfect for us going to the beach, exploring gravel roads etc, a ton of fun for the money. Jeep is in Roslyn, can be arranged to be seen most weekends, could be brought to the West side for the right buyer and a deposit.”
This is pretty rough, but it’s one of the lower priced trailers I’ve seen. I don’t know a lot about these.
“WWII military trailer built to be towed behind the Willys MB or Ford GPW jeeps. This one is just like a Bantam T3, but I believe it was built by Willys. It tows nicely, but the lights aren’t hooked up right now. The floor is pretty bad, but most are after over 60 years of our weather. It has a 2″ ball coupler and does have a tailgate.”
UPDATE: The price on this was $1500 a few days ago, but now the price has doubled to $3000. More pictures provided as well.
“This is a 1951 Willys jeep in pretty good shape would like to sell or trade for a harley.This has a 350 small block and huals a$$. Lots of power no rust pretty straight body great off road toy.Also has a winch .Good tires 928-768-7184 ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000. Has a replacement body.
The seller lists two different prices for this M-38. Strangely, the dashboard looks like a M-38, but there are no passenger side cutouts and no battery cowl lid.
“1952 Willis Jeep. Runs good and has a sound body. All gears are good. Enclosure included (soft top and sides). Removable back seat, gun rack, and tow bar. The vinyl seats are cracked, as is the windshield. This Jeep was restored before I bought it and has locking hubs and wide tires. (I have two of the original tires and rims.) I have owned it for 10+ years and used it for hunting, playing, etc. It is kept in a shelter. Due to infrequent use, I am willing to part with it. $5000 Cash OBO”
It seems the seller has owned this for 35 years, but doesn’t really know anything about it. The seller has this listed as a CJ-3B and wasn’t aware that the back of the jeep wasn’t original. It’s certainly an interesting rebuild. The seller apparently had this sold, but the buyer backed out, so the seller has relisted it.
This CJ-3A has a pretty crazy tailpipe. It might have some value, especially if it has an overdrive.
“1949? Jeep Willys overland cj3a, was running and driving last fall, parked for winter and the starter doesn’t engage and the brake pedel froze up. Will need complete restoration but has original seats with covers, a rare aftermarket hardtop from the 50’s, meyer plow blade with western hydraulics( one hydraulic cylinder is bad) and original equipment hydraulic engine driven plow pump. In Muskego Wi 53150 must sell soon–no title it was bought at a government surplus auction many years ago”
