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 looks in good shape.

“I just finished restoring this jeep from the ground up as you can see from the pictures. Most every new part came from ” Kaiser Willys jeep” part house.I have all receipts. Everything either new or rebuilt. Frame has been sandblasted, primed and painted. The body was redone and the underside was undercoated with bedliner to protect it from the weather.All new brakes, excluding the master cyl. brake lines, wheel cyls, shoes and e energy brake too. The engine is from a 1953 Willys Truck, F- Head, 134. Runs great ,doesn’t use any oil. Holds good oil pressure. Has new Holly Carburator,fuel punp, water pump,clutch, preasureplate and throw out bearing. New radiator. The 3 speed trany and transfer have been professionally rebuilt and so has the front 4 wheel drive axle. New stock exhaust .New 12volt wiring. Has a rebuilt heater. New chrome wheels . rear tires are new, fronts are in good condition. The windshield is from a 1950 CJ3a for better viewing with new glass and rubber.The milage is not correct since the speedometer is a aftermarket one that I already had.I have driven it about 50 miles since I completed it. Everything seem to be working good. I have tried to fair and explane everything I can about the jeep.”

(11/03/2012) This is worth a look. It’s clearly a CJ-3A and not a 3B.

This looks nice, it’s cleaned and painted with some care. But . . . here’s my thing . . .I guess when someone describes a jeep as “museum quality” and “pristine condition” I have certain expectations (despite some of the poor museum jeeps we’ve documented herein). So, if his were my museum piece, the lettering would be different on the hood (not marked 52-m38A1), the engine parts would not be all painted like they are here, and the steering column wouldn’t be off color (unless that’s a color option I didn’t know about). It also appears this should have the hinged grille, but the hinges are missing.
” This Jeep is in pristine condition and has been restored to museum quality inside and out by the Armed Forces History Museum. It includes a non-functional removable 30 caliber machine gun.”

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
I like this one. It has some early Civil Air Patrol stickers on it.
“1962 Jeep Willy Stretch M170 Ambulance. Government called for 6000 M170’s to be made. Production between 1953 and 1963. The government stopped production at 4155 M170’s, so I have been told by some sources that I have spoken with. The motor is a 4 cylinder F Hurricane Flathead 134. It has a 24 volt system, transmission is a T90. A model 18 transfer case and is equipped for a fording system. The jeep is all original and runs very good. There are no mechanical defects known. It is in good condition, even the tires are original. It was used in the Air Corps and still has original stickers and original Government plates (located under updated DMV plates.) Vehicle has a clear DMV title. No registration issues. The jeep has 32,288 miles on the engine as of date of listing. I drive it periodically to keep engine from sitting. It has a new rebuilt radiator, new water pump, new thermostat and housing and hoses. It also has a new master cylinder and fording spark plugs.”
This looks pretty good for the price.
“Nearly restored. New brakes, tires, paint, interior etc. Needs upholstering and jumps out of 3rd gear”

This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)

UPDATE: Still Available
(04/22/2012) This is a good looking jeep, tough the engine compartment and engine isn’t as nice as the rest of it.
“This 1948 Willys-Overland CJ2AJeep was restored in 2003 using only original equipment. All work was done by a professional mechanic. Parts alone for this restoration exceeded $5000. Everything works! It looks and runs great. Stays in the shop when not being driven & has a Bikini Top. NADA book value for one in “High Retail” condition is $20,500. This Willys comes very close to their definition for that value.
A list of work done including receipts is available.”
