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: Was $5500.

(08/01/2012) This looks in good condition, though has a few unusual minor mods.
“Great condition, stock tall hood Jeep. Engine was rebuilt 12743 miles ago, and had a tune up about 200 miles ago. The odometer was spun back to zero when the motor was rebuilt. Shifts great, doesn’t pop out of gear like some do. Starts right up, runs all day and doesn’t get hot. Has brakes from a Gladiator truck, so it stops pretty well. Everything works. Very reliable. Hard to find defroster, Warn hubs. Top is nearly new. Tow bar, old school radio and speakers, brass fire extinguisher. Body work looks good from 10 feet, but has flaws. It’s not a show car, I drive it around town all the time. CA Registered to April 2013. It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast, than a fast car slow. No reserve. Please contact with any questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000.
This looks in good shape.
“1952 MB Willy’s Jeep for 18,000.00 Restored 8 years ago, approximately 100 miles since restored time, has all amphibious accessories for water crossing, Military radio, nice clean jeep, rust free. Please call for further question.”
UPDATE: Was $4400. **SOLD**
(07/25/2012) This looks solid. The hood scoop is unusual. This might restore relatively easily . I wonder if it really was an Air Force Jeep.
“1952 Willys Jeep. Good body runs and drives well. Very little rust a few dents but one of the better original bodies I’ve seen. Many new parts and some spares.”
Dan spotted this nice looking, stock wagon. It’s listed as a 1959 Wagon in the title of the AD and a 1958 Wagon in the body of the ad.
“1958 willys Wagon 6-226 4 wheel Drive. Super.
Hurricane inline 6 engine

Over $8,000. invested.”

The seller claims this an unmolested CJ-3A. More accurately, it’s a M-38 that’s just slightly molested.
“WOW !!! Here is a hard to find unmolested all original 1951 Jeep CJ3A with only 12,396 miles on the odometer. The original soft top and doors will also come with the sale of this vehicle. This jeep runs and drives good but will need a brake master cylinder as it has gone bad while in storage. Come out take a look drive it around the yard and see what you think. I really think its worth your drive and time and doubt you will be disappointed. Asking 16K may consider serious cash offer made here in person. Tire kickers please don’t waste my time, serious buyers only as these original jeeps don’t come around for sale very often. call or text 4 zero 2 seven20-03one 0”

I do have the original rims and tires that came with the vehicle, they will go with it. It also comes with a grey bikini top not shown in photos. The overall condition of this jeep is next to perfect. The jeep rides very well, the shifing gear box is tight and the overdrive is great. This jeep is a real head-turner. It’s great at the beach, people keep asking me hundreds of question when I pull in.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
I don’t know if it is for sale or not, but it is one of the nicer ones.
It’s not stock and has a few changes, but looks solid.

Steve forwarded this photo of a Mighty Mite at the Chicago Auto Show yesterday.
Coincidently, yesterday Ann’s mother saved part of an episode of Pawn Stars for me to view (Episode called PONY UP from December 2011), which included a man trying to sell a Mighty Mite to the Pawn Stars guys for $22,000. They offered $13,000 (based on their expert’s opinion). Unfortunately, I can’t find a free way to view that episode.
