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 .
I thought I would win this auction, but I didn’t bid quite high enough. It looks like an interesting book. The guy who sold it on eBay said he used it to build a “bullet proof” AMC 360 engine. This book was printed in 1993.
Here are the pics posted on the auction:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6750.
Maybe some old timers remember this race jeep? It was last raced in 1986.
“Mileage is inaccurate cuz its a built race motor. I am selling this for my dad. It is as is condition. Only been fired up a few times in the past 20 some years. This Jeep is mean and believe me loud and mean. As is what it sits condition.”
This looks like a nice restoration.

“I’m selling for a friend. It is a 1955 M38A1 military Jeep. He has military tires and several additional parts he has accumulated during the restoration of the vehicle. Price is $15,000”
This militarized 2A looks pretty solid overall.

“1947 Willys belonging to my Dad who wants me to sell for him. It isn’t a true military Jeep just painted to resemble one. Starts & runs & always garaged”
The front floors appear to have some patches. Needs a battery at the very least.

“1941 Willis MB Military “B” or what became the “jeep” The MA was the prototype this is the redesigned MB pre-war late 1941 production note the distinctive welded slat grill. After 1942 this was changed to a stamped grill. Newer seats, brakes are free, replaced the fuel tank, fuel pump. Turns over but needs a battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Given the half top and plow, this could be a good part-jeep purchase.
“1959 Jeep cj5, frame and body shot, good running gear, last ran 3 years ago, has 6 foot manual plow and pump, 1/2 cab, lots of good parts. If ad is up it is still available so don’t ask.”
It runs, but needs work.

“47 willys army jeep 4×4 runs great 2 sets of wheel and tires come with and 4k is the price”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
The ad is titled “1951 CJ-3B”. The lift strategy on the stand-alone chassis is unusual.

“no title, 2 jeeps for parts, 1 has body-needs work, excellent front clip that we have stored in barn, grill hood, fenders, n windshield frame also stored in barn. Bell housing for v8 conversion, bell housing for orig 4cyl, engines need rebuild, i restored a 1949 cj3a willies from ground and know whats entailed, have no desire
to do again. Good father and son project. Asking $1800 cash or best offer.”
This trencher brochure from Auburn Machine Works was on eBay before I snatched it. Given it features a CJ-3B, I figure this is a 1953 or 54 brochure. There’s no form number.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The Hill Huggers 4WD Club was locates around Butler, Pennsylvania. This is a metal club plaque for the club. I’m not sure when this club existed.
“Hill Huggers 4wd 4×4 Club Butler Co. PA plaque plate car club Jeep Pennsylvania. Condition is “Used””
Tim’s father-in-law purchased these Dualmatic hubs, but Tim’s unsure what vehicle they fit. Given the hub model number is F-230, we believe these were likely used on a Ford truck (possible the F-250, as that was the model of truck his father-in-law had). Anyone recognize them or know if they’d fit on a 1960s/70s Ford truck? The hubs are 19 spline.
This DJ-3A has been nicely updated.
