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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.

“GOT A 1958 WILLYS WAGON FROM OUT WEST HAS ORIGINAL 6 -226 MOTOR WITH WARN OR DRIVE, TOTALLY UNMOLESTED, RUNS AND STOPS.”
This hasn’t been started in a while, but looks like it is a good use-as-is or restoration project.
“1952 Willys M38 Jeep.
I bought this as a future project over 12 years ago and while the future is here, I have not started the project.
I bought the jeep from Montana and since I have had it it has always been stored indoors. Due to the hard top, it is in great condition as far as rust goes.
I have started and driven the jeep so know the mechanical work but have not started it in probably 2 years.
GOOD
Clear MN title (I am from MN originally)
Remarkably rust free for the age
Mechanically sound
Not so good
Much of the M38 specific equipment is missing
There are some dents and dings from 60 years of use
Due to the age and probably lack of use, it tends to mark it’s territory.
Don’t know if this is good, not so good or just interesting but looks like this was an arctic jeep. I can’t say exactly what that entails but there is some additional heating components inside that are “interesting” I think it is a somewhat unusual military modification for the cold. Explains the hard top as well.”

“Selling my 1949 Willys Station Wagon to make room in my garage. This is the two wheel drive version. Very original older restoration including original 134 cubic in flathead 4 cylinder with three speed overdrive transmission. Still original 6 volt electrical and wears correct 1949 California license plates. Has correct and very rare radio.
Restoration included new brakes, complete motor rebuild by Rod Furtado, new paint, new interior including seats and original basket weave headliner, all new window weatherstripping. It’s just been sitting in my garage so needs some TLC but this car is a great cruiser that makes people smile.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“I have an upgraded/restored Willys CJ3A. Make no mistake, this is setup to be a 4 x 4 monster-mudder & street rod, not a mellow collector’s vehicle. It has a very strong Chev 350 w/headers and almost brand new dual Flowmasters (a little loud). Edelbrock 4 barrel (no high rise manifold). Alluminum cross flow radiator with electric fan & transmission cooler. TH400 auto trans w/B&M shifter. Has twin shifter Dana 20 transfer case. Has 4 inch spring lift and 2 inch body lift with quality rubber mounts. It has almost brand new Corbeau front bucket seats with matching rear bench. Full cage roll bar (padded). Saginaw steering (manual–really tight–NO slop or play) with tilt steering wheel and collum ignition switch. 11 inch drum brakes with aftermarket master cylender on firewall (hanging pedal). All gauges, switches, lights, turn signels, emergency flashers, wipers and heater ALL work great. Duamatic front hubs. Both front & rear lockers. 33 x 12.50 R15LT tires (90% tread left).
There is NO cancer rot anywhere. A little patch of bedliner is peeling under back seat with just a little surface rust. The diamond plate accents are mainly for looks (just makes side steps more usable–they’re still intact under plating). Clear Wa. title. Tabs good for next 11 months.
Now, the issues (not very many): needs coolant saver and tubing installed. Only has bikini top currently. Needs dust cover for transmission bellhousing. That’s pretty much it.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. Status Unknown.
“1961 Willys Jeep DJ3A Surrey Gala
With a heavy heart, I am selling this vehicle for the widow of my closest friend.

Original Go-Devil L134 4-cylinder engine runs strong with new carburetor. Original mechanical fuel pump has been replaced with an electrical pump.
Fuel tank has been cleaned and coated.
3 speed column shift transmission in good working order.
This Gala is fun to drive!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s another refurbished jeep from Brigantine Beach. In regards to the seller’s answer to a buyer’s questions (see the ebay ad), while true the U.S. Air Force wasn’t formed until 1947, prior to that it was either the Army Air Corps (AAC) or the US Army Air Forces (USAAF). This jeep isn’t about accuracy. It’s about having some fun.
Then I got to thinking. As a point of discussion, is it a misuse of government intellectual property to paint on and resale something with USAF like this? I’m not that concerned about it, but I was just wondering if it’s technically legal. I might have to research that.
