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 .
There’s no date on this Back Hoe Brochure from Go For Digger, but it is likely from the late 1950s. This brochure was accompanied by a letter:
The April 27, 1944, article in the Star Tribune out of Minneapolis argues that Ford, GM, and Chrysler did not believe the post-war jeep would be as successful as hoped, due to (1) the hard suspension and (2) a lack of appeal to the “woman of the family”. It seems they were right to be wary from a family perspective, but the big three didn’t foresee the wagons, which attempted to address both of these issues.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
The frame isn’t 2A or 3A and the front clip appears have truck/wagon. The back appears to be a home brew.
“1946 willy’s, will trade or make offer.”
Unclear if it runs or not.

“1942 willys mp35 jeep… was fully restored but it sit in a barn for a long time. Yes it has a title and floors are solid”
Update: **Sold** was $3800.
Looks solid.
This has an unusual data tag. As best as I can tell, this jeep is an M-38A1 “D”, at least based on m381.com page’s reference to the XM28 tag (see comparison tag here). This may have been one of the last converted M-38A1s into a “D” variant, given only approximately 50 were converted at the Detroit Arsenal.

This is a rare Ford-Canadian made M-38CDN. It’s a project.

“Unique M38 CDN (Canadian) jeep made by Ford to Willys specs in Windsor, Ontario. Only 2135 ever assembled. Jeep contains CAR No. 52-30983 (this number was assigned to the jeep upon reception by the Canadian army base and was inscribed on the left front frame connecting to the bumper-please see photo). This particular one has been sitting in a barn for over 30 years. Unfortunately, missing windshield, hood, front right fender, registration plate, but vehicle still good for restoration or for parts. Asking USD $1,100 (CAD $1,400).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600/ Bill notes that this may be a cut down full top.
No obvious rust.
