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 $3500.
This looks likes a solid rig, though it has been lifted off the frame.
“1946 Willy’s Flat Fender Jeep CJ2 or M38?
Chevy 283 rebuilt, Edlebrock Carb and ManifoldTurbo 350 Automatic Transmission
I was told that it is a 1971 CJ5 frame and 4X4 running gear (Dana)”
UPDATE: Was listed at $7450
This looks like a nice rig. I’m surprised it wasn’t finished off with a full cage.

There are a few non stock issues, but it appears solid. It has the rear PTO too.
“12 volt conversion. Runs great. Original engine and air/oil filters. Has original factory installed live PTO option to run brush hog, sprayer, or water pump which is RARE! The flathead runs great and strong, the transmission shifts like new. Underneath this jeep is super solid, all crossmembers are solid and nice, the underside of the pan is very very nice. This was not a pan off but somewhere in it’s past I do believe it was–it definitely was babied. I did some basic maintenance to it, (oil, brakes, carb adjustment, etc) and proceded to make a jeep that was one to be used. I wanted something I could drive in a parade and then run to my favorite fishing hole in, not a show queen. The fact that this had the PTO just made it that much more special for me. This really is a great jeep and super nice driver. Has 16″ rims and tires have great tread,but do have some age cracks in them, nothing major just figured you should know.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3200
(08/17/2010) This is mostly stock.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A 4×4. This jeep is almost complete original, including the motor, transmission, transfer case, and axles. This is a cool little toy, or a great start on a restoration project. It runs like a sewing machine, and will climb, go through or go around anything. It is 64 years old and in good condition for its age. Must take a ride to appreciate. Serious buyers only, cash, and no trades.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
This looks good, though I’m not a fan of the side mirror.
“Really straight and clean jeep. Has the overhead valve engine and it runs very good. Has a set of doors that come with it. The only thing it might need is a better set of tires”
UPDATE2: ***SOLD***
UPDATE: Roberto forwarded this link about M-38CDNs.
Brian built this nice looking rig. Here’s a cool bit piece of history. This appears to be 1 of 2,135 Ford-of-Canada assembled M-38s. This particular jeep has some unique features, including the most unusual tailgate latching system I’ve ever seen (are those car seat belt latches?).
“This is a Ford M38 Jeep, built under contract to Ford from Willys in 1952 for the Canadian Army. About 2600 were built. I have rebuilt this entire jeep, it now has a rebuilt 283 Chevy engine with a turbo 350 tranny. The engine has been moved back in the frame about 7 inches, the firewall was moved back very tastefully to accomodate. The engine has been extensively modified with: .040″ overbore, new flattop pistons, a lumpy Crane cam, Edelbrock intake and carb, Mallory distributor, Crane roller tip rocker arms and lots of chrome of course! The tranny was rebuilt, has a stock convertor and a mild shift kit, the jeep is so light it will chirp the tires in second gear! This Jeep handles extremely well and goes like a scared cat! A Griffin 5 row aluminum rad keeps the little beast cool.
The rear axle is an ’86 S10 unit that has been narrowed. Its running 3:42 gears and Moser axle shafts, the axle has been narrowed. The front axle is from an ’88 jeep Cherokee and has been narrowed too, it has 11″ disk brakes. Rims are American Racing ‘Slider’ 15×8 and 15×7 with BFG rubber 21570R15 and 25560R15. The axles have been narrowed so that the tires both stick out past the fenders the same amount front and rear.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay **SOLD**
It also appears to have a special plaque, which I assume is related to it’s former life as a fire department jeep.
“My 1955 Willys Jeep 4X4… Former Chicago Fire Dept Vehicle, always stored inside, original condition, motor rebuilt, new carb., and lots of other new parts… New tires, top a few years old, interior very nice, I have a new battery as the old one is weak… I am selling my little blue baby because I was in a Traffic Accident & broke my Back, my Pelvis, suffered Severe Head Trauma & Whiplash caused by hitting a car that made a left hand turn in front of us, we were traveling at 40 MPH, I was a passenger & my Airbag DID-NOT Deploy… The Jeep has been stored in my garage for 2 years & I can no longer drive it due to the accident… I DO-NOT have to give it away, I don’t need the money & have a 21 year old Son that would love to have it… Come take a look, it is being sold as-is, as-shown, ask questions, NO_RESERVE – the HIGH BIDDER wins!!!

“1951 Willys Wagon. Was in the 1990 movie “Waiting for the Light” – driven home and parked after that and never moved again. Appears to be missing radiator at this time. Has been undercover since the 80’s that I can remember. Interior is in original state. Exterior was painted for the movie.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“You are looking at/bidding on a 1963 Jeep FC-150 in excellent condition. I am selling this for a very good friend of mine who is not exactly computer literate! Please feel free to ask any questions at all that you may have about the vehicle, and I will relay them in a timely manner.
He has owned this Jeep for over 25 years and has taken very good care of it. It was re-painted three years ago, and has been garage kept ever since. (Over $3k invested) (It’s been garage kept for almost 20 years) The seats were re-upholstered just last summer to the tune of $750. The only issue with the vehicle is that the speedometer stopped working in March. It has only been driven four or five times since then, and therefore the mileage on the odometer is only about 100 miles off.
-This model is the 4 cylinder (134 CI) 3 speed transmission with a 2 speed transfer case.
-It has a PTO driven 8,000 pound winch that is fully functional (Ramsey)
-Good windshield with no cracks or chips at all.
-The plumbing and undercarriage for a plow is on the Jeep, but no plow is included with the sale. (Previous owner plowed with it about 30 years ago)
-4 Brand new Hercules tires with less than 50 miles on them. (Purchased 3 weeks ago)
-Vehicle is 100% ready to turn key and go.”
