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 $3000
(01/10/2011) The price is a bit high for a non-runner with no title, but the jeep looks in good shape.
“Old Willys for decoration or Advertising Neat old Vintage steel that does not run but complete.Sold as is.no title”
UPDATE: Now on Craigslist
(05/26/2010) Imagine my surprise when I looked at the last of the many images of this Jeep and learned this was a fiberglass tub! You don’t see many CJ-3B Fiberglass Tubs.

Here are a few pics.
I think it has a little bit of a Partridge Family bus feel to it.
“Good solid wagon, very little rust. No motor, or back seat. OG trans and transfer case is there. Ford steering column. Extra set of front fenders, and grill go with it. Nice solid project. No trades.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“For your consideration a 1952 Willys M38a1 military jeep. Serial # 17543, dod. 9/52, making it an early example with the thumbscrew battery box lid, hinged front grill, rare original slanted seam front fenders, and the narrow early bumper undamaged.
Runs great, with no smoke or knocks. The engine is totally original with the 24 volt system and all waterproof accessories (distributor, carb, generator, regulator). Transmission and transfer case shift smoothly and quietly. Brakes are inoperative due to bad master cylinder.
Was a municipal vehicle used for off road search and rescue (seldom) It was well maintained and not abused, spent most of its time in storage. Has the original seats, cushions, rear seat, and 50’s dated tires. (pass seat not shown but included) Body has very minimal rust, surface rust mostly in a few spots, and a couple small dings. Frame and springs are excellent. Has all original dashboard and data plates. Windshield frame is very good shape also.
Would make an excellent easy restoration candidate, as it has not been modified in civilian hands. Never had a snowplow mounted. Never had locking hubs installed. Never been registered on the road. Has one of the best original condition body’s that I have seen”
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/22/2010) I think this has a great old-school feel to it with some practical upgrades.
“Old school custom runs great drives great looks great. I’ve never seen another one like it. The best and most fun Jeep I’ve ever owned. Dauntless V6 with headers and welded mufflers. T90 transmission shifts smooth. Spicer 18 transfer with Warn overdrive. This jeep can go 80 mph or faster. Winch, dual gas tanks, full roll bar, power steering, and power brakes. 918-261-7816.”

Alright football fans. Mark spotted this unusual jeep. A Texas Christian University fan of some type painted this flattie. The paint appears to be in decent shape still.
“m38 jeep body with fenders, hood, 2 grilles, tailgate, bumpers, all floor panels. body only no frame or running gear.
also have dana 44 front and rear axle assys 8 lug from 3/4 ton jeep p/u. sale or trade call nine four zero – five nine seven – five zero two five for info”

UPDATE: Status unknown. Was listed at $2000.
(12/08/2010) I’m guessing this is either a MB/GPW body or a DJ body. It has seriously funky front and rear bumpers. The way the front bumper connects is also a little odd. Price isn’t bad though.
“VIN: CJ2A168524. 5 SPEED, 4X4, V8 AND RUNS WELL BUT HAS TWO CONCERNS: NEEDS BRAKES, AND HAS A SLIGHT ANTIFREEZE LEAK. THIS IS OUR COST ON THIS UNIT AS IT WAS A TRADE IN. FOR MORE PICTURES CLICK HERE: http://www.ronjohnsonauto.com/WILLYSJEEP.html .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
This looks like a good price.
“1959 willis cj5 jeep, runs good, 4×4 works good,good tires and rims, in good shape for a 1959. $1,750 obo,”
This is listed as a 3A, but the serial number of 211105 suggests a late 2A. This has a variety of mods, including a cool-air intake.
“This particular ’48 CJ3A has had thousands of dollars invested in it to make it what you see today. This jeep has been assembled and maintained by a master mechanic that is certified under 9 different automotive brands. He has used only the best parts while assembling this off road machine and has spent thousands of dollars doing so. Included with the Jeep is a 1965 M416 military trailer. This is an authentic military trailer but has had a tailgate cut into it. It wears the same, matching wheels and tires as the jeep that pulls it….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(05/14/2010) It appears to have a MB windshield. The rims are quite unusual. I’d like a closeup look at those. It looks in great shape.
“1950 CJ3 Willys Jeep, in good condition. Grandpa & Dad used it for hunting for many years. Time to clean out the garage!!!!! Serious only buyer please.”
