About eWillys
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.
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 on eBay. The buy-it-now price was $10,000.
“BARN FIND! 1950 Willys Overland Jeepster. Restored 20 years ago and has had little use since. This unique vehicle. Is ready to go. Unique Maroon exterior with Black interior. Original 4 cylinder engine with 3 speed transmission.”
(10/08/2012) This looks in good shape. It looks like a hole has been cut in the hood for the air cleaner though.

“it doesn’t run havnt tried to brake it free yet needs a gas tank. has locking hubs and a bill of sale. will trade for guns,dirtbike,motorcycle,fourwheeler, or ???”
(11/29/2012) Check out the driver’s side entrance. It’s looks to me like this has been trimmed back.
“All steel original body with new correct color Olive Green paint. New upholstery. New gas tank and fuel pump. All original 4 cylinder engine and running gear. 4 wheel drive. Freshly tuned, runs great. Has current title and license. Vin 389560.”
“What you are looking at is an original 1952 Willys M38 military Jeep. The Jeep has been redone and is in near perfect condition. It is all original with original 24 volt system. No bondo. All metal. Original bows and all. It could use new tires, but they are fine as is. It currently had coop grip spurs on the original Willys rims. Clear title. It is a hop in and go original piece of U.S. history. I am asking 13,500 OBO.

The reason for the sale is sad, but it isn’t a great restoration.
“LOOK! 1948 Willys Jeep Mechanicals All Rebuilt! just restored by a Great Restoration Shop In Town for my friend, this was his Dream and his baby, HE DROVE IT ON THE RAMP TRUCK IN AND OUT OF THE GARAGE AND FOR 320 MILES! Unfortunatly he passed on from heart attack! He is survived by his loving wife and two children, 12 & 10 years old!! Please be generous as all the proceeds for the sale will provide for them and thier education! WE MUST SELL THIS FOR THEM!”
(12/07/2012) “Just found in a barn in Oregon – 1948 Willys CJ2-A Jeep. 32,000 original miles! 3 speed on floor. Has rear seat. No rust, no accidents, all there all original. Has top, bad plastic. Runs and drives puuurfect!”
This nice truck is being auction with 100% of proceeds going to the Clark Fork Coalition which helps protect the Clark Fork Watershed.
“Original flat floor.Truck runs well. Model 6-226. 6 cylinder, 226 engine (correct engine for this model). A CID Flat head side valve engine. Engine has not been re-built, but engine has been re-sealed and gaskets changed. This is a point ignition. Body man and painter did meticulous body work. Very pretty truck. Runs well at 45 mph, geared low.
Full repairs done to the vehicle in 2011. I have a copy of the report that I can share. Basically, this is an amazing little truck. Our donor paid around $10,000 for the vehicle and then put another 10K of work into it … so with this new info it’s actually worth retail of close to 20K. Vin # 55268/11999.
Latest comp test in 2011 on the 6 cylinder engine – all fired at 110 except #3 which fired at 105 – still really good.
The only items of note: Some rust on the floor but this was covered with a plate of sheet metal in the 2011 repair. See photo. And, all cab mounts eventually need to be replaced.
I am receiving a lot of emails about this. If you prefer to talk in person please email me through eBay to set up a time. I am on staff at the nonprofit running the auction but will answer questions best I can.
Thanks,
Clark Fork Coalition”

Here’s another nice looking Jeepster from Jeepster Jim.
“Really nice Jeepster that does not need Restoration. The top is ok and the interior is nice. It has the side curtains and runs and drives great, including the overdrive. It has new wheels and tires and comes with an original, working factory heater. The chrome is in good condition and the lights and the horn also work. I’d feel comfortable driving this car anywhere.”
