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 $2800.
Here’s a good looking DJ for sale.

“Fantastic 1955 Jeep – Runs Smooth and Drives.
This is a fantastic Jeep. Engine is the original and preferred 226-L6 Super Hurricane flat 6 and was just gone through by an experienced classic car guy. Partial restoration is done. Body is fantastic and rust free. Starts easy, runs great and fun to drive. This is a vintage 1955 Jeep Wagon, America’s first 4×4 SUV. It will climb 57 degree grades (although I have not tried) and brings smiles everywhere it goes. Ready for the new owner to recover the seats and side panels in desired color. This is a GOOD ONE – Body not rusted. Work done in 2013/2014 includes: New fuel pump and lines, New fuel tank, Professionally overhauled Carb, New water pump and hoses, conversion from 6v to 12v with new Willys alternator and battery, and much more. Fun to tinker and will be an easy restoration finish as show car or daily driver. This vehicle is complete; original seats (front and rear) acquired and ready for cover. All parts ever needed in future are easily available from Willys – easy to work on. If you are interested is a unique, fun vintage Jeep, please email.”

UPDATE: Was $21,500. **SOLD**
(09/05/2014) Listed as a ’45, this is really a ’46 based on the year. I wonder if seller has any actual pics of this while owned by the Air Corps. That would help verify the seller’s restoration is correct.
“1945 Willys CJ2A (serial #73581). Full frame off, ground up restoration to military condition and specs. Original owner US Army Air Corps Alaska Command at Mile 26 airfield (Eielson) in Fairbanks. Surplused in late 1950’s. Had several owners around the state and came to rest in Wasilla in a state of decay. I acquired it in 2010 and performed the restoration over a 2 yr. period.
I was able to save and restore the rims, tires, axles, transmission, transfer case, drive shafts, frame, engine, carburetor, air cleaner, steering shaft and gear box, bumper, trailer hitch, generator, starter and jerry can.
Frame was sand blasted, repaired, aligned and powder coated. Cases for transmission and transfer case also blasted and powder coated. Drive shafts blasted and powder coated as was bumper and trailer hitch. Engine (Go-devil flat head 4), transmission (T90), transfer case, axles, carburetor, drive shafts, starter and generator professionally rebuilt. Everything else is new and correct for 1945/46 cj2a, including exhaust, radiator, fuel, brakes, springs and shocks, electrical, gauges, clutch and brake pedals and horn. Body and fenders are powder coated in army green with invasion stenciling. Seats are army green canvas. Jerry can and spare are correctly mounted on reinforced tailgate per mil-spec. 6 volt system has been retained. I have added one tail light and brake lights to make it street legal. Not stock in 1945 was an oil filter which I added and 6V halogen headlights. There are no turn signals or windshield wipers. There is no heater. I have a canvas top and frame, but it is in poor shape and I have not installed it. I have a black-out light, axe and shovel but have not installed them. Manila tow rope included. Air filter has been modified from oil bath to paper cartridge without changing the outside look. There is no back seat, which was sold as an option from 1945 on. I also have the Bantam trailer (correct pintel hitch) that works fine but needs a full restoration to match the jeep. Jeep has 360 miles since restoration. Registered and licensed. $23,500.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(09/10/2014) The front end has been updated with a hitch.
“I’m helping my grandpa sell his Vintage Army Jeep. It’s in superb condition for its age, still runs like a champ, and 4×4 works great! 1951 M38 Willys US Army Jeep. It has low miles on the original engine, because it was used by a Commanding General, HQ1. It has a 2.2L four cylinder engine, manual locking hubs, 3 speed manual transmission, and a 2 speed transfer case. The vehicle only has 59,xxx original miles on it! 45,473 M38’s were built from 1950-1952, who knows how many are still drivable. Serious inquires only. This hasn’t been a beater hunting rig. It has been well taken care of. It’s a Classic! If you want to own and drive away with a piece of American History give me a call.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,500

This former fire jeep has some low mileage.
“I bought this little Jeep Dec. 15, 2010.
Serial number 57548134623
The motor is a ‘JEEP’ 4-CYLINDER F-HEAD “HURRICANE” ENGINE
It had 9,279 miles on it.
Fire Protection District #9 in Nine Mile Falls, WA purchased this Jeep new and date of issue for MOTOR VEHICLE CERTIFICATE OF TITLE was 10/09/61 (I have this document)
This is a very original, clean, rust free little Jeep
Jan. 1, 2012 miles = 10,565
Jan. 1, 2013 miles = 11,409
Jan. 1, 2014 miles = 11,657
Miles on the Jeep today are 11,712
As you can see from the pictures that we simply used it for a casual drive once in awhile, entered it in a few car shows and parades.
I never took this Jeep off roading.
I recorded the odometer every January 1.
My interests have changed and it just isn’t being used any more.
It is time to sell it and let someone else enjoy it!
If you have any questions please call as I am not near my computer most of the day. NO TRADES, Thanks for looking, Bob”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6700
