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 .
Isn’t this a Maverick? It lacks the emblem on the cowl that was on some (all?) 1959s.

“This Willy’s is in superb condition Completely original untouched never restored runs and drives excellent mine are paint touch up as needed for maintenance has original muffler on this car see you at the car show at the track I’ll be in the corral entertaining reasonable offers”
For the price, this could be worth a look. Though listed as a 1952 M-38A1, the body and front clip look like they are from a CJ-5 (except for the fact that there is no “JEEP” stamped into the cowl.

“1952 M38A1 Willys 1/2-Ton 4×4 ‘Utility Truck.’ Roll bar, rear rack, front trailer bar, front and rear hitch receivers, additional front driving lights, front brush guard. Excellent for hunting, farm or ranch.”
It sounds like the floors may need to have the hat channels replaced at some point.

“1948 Willys Jeep. Everything new or rebuilt. 225 Dauntless, Borg Warner T10 4 speed, Hurst Shifter, Dana 20 Transfer Case, 1973 Dana 30 front and Dana 44 rear axles with 373 gears.”
It’s listed as a 1946, but has a later grille and driver’s side spare tire holes, so it may be a 1948 Lefty.

(03/06/2022) This looks good on the outside, but does have some floor patches. This also might have a DJ-3A convertible windshield (note the twist-attachments for the top on the front -top of the windshield.

“Here is one neat Jeep. This is a CJ-3B that someone did some nice upgrades too. Originally it would have had a F-Head four cylinder in it. Now the Jeep has a strong running 225 Dauntless V6 that offers the perfect amount of power and torque. It fits the Jeep well. Jeep did use these motors from the mid to late 60’s. They’re great!
Power steering was added and a tilt steering column. The Jeep also and a full roll cage and updated fuse block.
The Jeep is fun! It also has a full soft top and soft doors, winch bumper and a small lift. The body is solid….not all rusted out. The dash has a nice well done gauge cluster and rocker switch panel. The brakes pull a bit if you hit them hard.
Its a great Jeep for running around the ranch, beach, neighborhood etc. Its a clear title, Jeep is located in San Antonio Texas. Thanks”
The chassis appears to be from a CJ, but the body looks to be from an MB.

“This is a project jeep, rolling chassis, started cutting out bad body metal, have some new replacement metal. New tires, body is on a homemade rotisserie thats included.”
This project is unusual in that the body is chromed fiberglass with rivets.

This jeep has some early Husky hubs (see how they should look), but they are missing the levers to engage/disengage 4wd.

“1946 Willys
Runs great.”
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.
