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 .
Unclear if it runs or not.

“1946 willys jeep to restore. No paperwork .. willing to trade for ranch quad 4 wheel drive or car trailer , or possible trades . Have tires and seats to throw in also. Great project just no time or $$$”
It’s unclear how solid this body is, given the diamond-plate in the back and a patch on the side.

“Rebuilt Buick 231 6cyl. even fire with less than 500 miles. The rebuild was 20 yrs ago and have all receipts. Three speed transmission with the 2 lever transfer case. New Rochester 2 barrel carb and plug wires. Motor runs perfect and is great for putting around in the country, For the street the jeep would require some attention.
Front bumper is plumbed into the radiator for additional water storage to prevent overheatings. Warn locking hubs and believe 538 gears. Have a 4 speed to go with it for extra $”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000.
This has the early reversed springs and a (broken) 0-8 KS speedo.
“I have a good 56 Jeep project that was sitting in a barn for about the last 30 years. It does not run. Complete and not dissassembled. Very solid body. Will require some rust repair on the right front floor and possibly the left front floor also. This is a project that needs restoration. I was told the engine was rebuilt many years ago and it was driven into the 90s. Bill Of Sale only. Two new front tires. Rolls well for loading. This is a project vehicle that is in good condition for being 65 years old.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.

“Cj3b body, frame and 1970 jeepster commando axles-front Dana 30 and rear Dana 44. Frame was sandblasted, front is boxed and reinforced. No registration”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,500.
This has a variety of updates.
“I have owned this Willy’s since 1962. It is a unique piece of history. Powered by a 350 Chevy, Muncie M-20 four speed, Camaro Steering, front disc brakes, 11 1/2 inch mercury brakes on the rear. All the wiring is redone and everything works as it should. This Willy’s runs and sounds great, and very powerful. You have to see it to appreciate the time and care given to this vehicle. This willy’s turns heads where ever it goes. It has a Koenig 100 power take off winch that has been on the car from the beginning. Vintage KC lights. Full skid plate. New gauges. Just a one of a kind classic car. The only thing that is not operable is the e-brake”
This looks to be one of the CJ-2As lengthened out of the Spokane area. This was listed a few days ago on Craigslist (I think for $1800, but I can’t remember exactly). It lacked an engine.
“I have this very rare Willys CJ6 from 1946
Its a project car and the last guy lost interest.
What you see is what you get, engine missing!”
TJ spotted this Mule.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1364443447251056
“M274 half ton 4×4 utility platform truck. “Army Mule” Testing the waters here not desperate to sell. About 11,000 made, unknown how many of these military utility ‘s exist? Motor will run but has a bad cylinder and dumps oil fast. This model has the Hercules engine two cylinder. 3speed manual with 2 speed transfer case. If I sell, would like it to go to someone interested in its restoration. This was a project my dad never got around to. Body is in pretty good shape. Four wheel steering with full time four wheel drive. Pretty rare ATV that will go anywhere. Popular with ranchers, farmers, hunters, forestry service many possible uses. Not built to be fast or comfortable but extremely durable and reliable. Serious buyers only. Price is firm.”
This Bring-A-Trailer auction for a rare Ford-built M-38CDN was also spotted by Sam.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1952-jeep-jeep-m38/
“This 1952 Willys M38-CDN Jeep is one of approximately 2,135 units assembled by Ford for the Canadian Armed Forces in the early 1950s, and it is powered by a 2.2-liter inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. The truck was refurbished during prior ownership and used as a museum display for approximately 20 years, and it was acquired by the seller in 2020. The green paintwork is contrasted by a lighter canvas top, and additional features include a fold-down windshield, body-color steel wheels, and reproduction canvas seat covers. The engine was rebuilt in 2020, and the fuel and vacuum pump was replaced in 2021. This Willys Jeep is now offered with accessories, a tool kit, historical literature, and a British Columbia registration document listing the truck as a 1952 Ford Pickup.”
Sam spotted this solid looking FC for auction.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1959-willys-overland-jeep-fc170/
“This 1959 Willys Jeep FC-170 is a cab-over pickup that is finished in green over green plaid upholstery and is powered by a 226ci Super Hurricane inline-six mated with a three-speed manual transmission and a dual-range transfer case. It was acquired by the seller’s father in 2016 and is believed to have spent much of its life in Michigan and Ohio. Equipment includes LED running lights, steel wheels with manually-locking front hubs, a side-mounted spare, mud flaps, Bosch gauges, and a heater. This Jeep Forward Control is now offered by the seller on behalf of his father with spare parts, a service manual, an owner’s manual, a brick from the Willys Overland plant smokestack, and a clean Ohio title.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/03/2021) It’s a project with a mix of 3B parts and custom work, though it’s listed as a 1946 CJ-2A.
