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 .
This is supposed to have an original welding unit. This is rare enough that the M38A1 site doesn’t have a picture of one. There was supposed to be one at the Ponderosa Ranch.
“M38A1 Willys welding variant used during korean war. Frame off, lots of parts. 95% complete, come get the only one known to exist in the USA. No looky loos. Call or contact for more pictures. (206) 713-7799 – Richard”

The body looks solid on this potential VEC.
“Runs drives and looks great. 4 cylinder. Good tires, soft top in good shape, clean, no dents. New front hubs and bearings, new front brake drums, new rear brake lines, new front and rear wheel cylinders, new master brake cylinder, Carb kit just done. Came stock with 9″ brakes they have been changed to 11″ New temp and volt meter”

This looks solid, but the front bumper sticks out unusually far. I wonder how those front frame rails are holding up.
“1949 WILLYS CJ2A JEEP, SERIAL NUMBER CJ2A-21584, with overdrive, no rust, all three original seat frames with new covers, original 4 cylinder engine with high output 12 volt starter, 12 volt alternator, holds 50 to 60 lbs. oil pressure at warm idle, 12 volt electrics, turn signal lights, front seat belts, horn button on floor, 12 volt electric Heavy Duty 8000 pound Ramsey winch with new cable and controller, all gauges work, new dual master cylinder giving separate front and rear brakes, transmission/transfercase was rebuilt with super quiet gears, five original 16 inch wheels balanced with like new Michelin recapped mud and snow tires, spare tire is on a rack that is held in a receiver tube, heavy duty front bumper, front tow bar (1-7/8 ball) is removable.
It is ready for the highway or off road trails, that winch should pull it up a tree, transmission/transfercase shifts smooth, quiet and does not jump out of second. 4 wheel drive works great, smooth and quiet.
It’s not perfect, minor scratches and dings, the tailgate is cracked where the spare tire mount was before it was installed in a receiver tube, it is titled (clear), tagged and insured, come and drive it around and see for yourself.”
This might be worth a look.
“Runs and drives. Seats 4. Call 480-215-7675”

Not sure if the seller means $10,000 or put $10 as a placeholder for bids.

(12/03/2012) Lots of surface rust, but it appears solid. Unclear if it runs or not.
“1947 CJ2A with steel Half Cab. Great restore project. It’s all there”
This was in a fire.
“Nice little Willys that was restored one point but was caught in a mild barn fire. Frame is great as well as the drivetrain and body is good but needs some attention in spots. The fire burnt the electrical, broke the glass and scorched the paint. I was going to keep it and fix the components to make it drive again and then not do anything to the body except clear coat the scorched paint. I’ve owned three of this year Willys and love them to drive and work on…super simple, open top 4×4 that draws attention anywhere! Comes with a bill of sale..no title, sorry. I will be listing this on eBay as well and taking it to the dog party if it hasn’t sold by then;)
Open to offers but I’ve got more than the asking price into it so no low ballers please!”
