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 $2500.
This might be a good project. Is that an old roll bar sticking out the back?
“1943 Willys Jeep MB model. Original flat head 4 cylinder Willys engine. Misc parts and repair manual. This vehicle ran until the clutch went out, new clutch partially installed. This vehicle is a great project vehicle. Jeep doesn’t have a gas tank. This was an old Navy jeep. Still has the original blackout lights except for the headlight. This is great for the serious restorer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No price.
It’s not pretty, but looks complete and includes a plow and overdrive.
“I have a 59 jeep willys with a plow on the front. 4cyl 3spd manual trans with overdrive. everything works, starts and runs good. its ready to plow your driveway just in time for those heavy colorado spring time snows or its a prime candidate for a complete restore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
The truck looks stock and nice. What I’d really like to see is the canvas camper shell.
“Great working truck , comes with snow plow and canvas camper shell, good shape! Reply for more info.”
Here’s an old dependable that needs a new master cylinder.
“63 willys cj5 w/ 6ft power angle plow. 4cyl f-head, 3spd.shifts threw all gears.clutch sticks when it sits but free’s up. i have had it going 35 or so down my street. this has been my yard plow for the past 2 years and has never let me down starts everytime. right now it only has about a foot of exhaust but really isnt that loud, ok maybe it is. the last storm the master cylinder blew out, before that the brakes worked fine. i dont have any paper work for it but will give a bill of sale. there is rot and some hacking done on the body but over all not to bad off. could be a nice off road project.”

This seller also has an M-38 and trailer for sale. This MB was previously listed as a 1942 MB.
“original WWII willys slatgrill jeep, original go devil flathead 4cyl converted to 12 volt. T84 trans works good, 4wd, works good, no leaks, all original condition,”
It looks like there’s been a patch along the driver’s side. Otherwise, this appears pretty stock. It’s not running.
“This antique classic Willys CJ3A Jeep’s frame and body are in good shape with little rust, has original motor and would be a great project. The heads have been machined for unleaded fuel. It has a clean Texas title. This Willys has been parked & garaged for several years and currently not running so will need to be trailered. Sorry, cash upon pick up only and without warranty.”

Here’s a pretty stock M-38; but, it needs some lovin.
“
This jeep is the real thing. It was going to be a project vehicle, but we are moving this summer and now it must go. We were told it was running and the gearbox works good. The starter drags and will not turn over the engine fast enough to start. We haven’t worked on it at all since we have had it, but the previous owner had it running and would be willing to speak to anyone who is interested.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(12/21/09) I doubt this will fetch the asking price, but it looks like a great restoration. That doesn’t look like an original color?

UPDATE: this is back on eBay
This CJ-2A appears to be a stock VEC CJ-2A with a serial number of 38965. What makes this CJ interesting is that it is being sold by the second owner of the Jeep, the Jeep has matching numbers, and it’s a column shift. What’s more interesting is that according to the CJ-2A site, column shifts were discontinued at number 38221. So, it’s possible that this is one of the last column shift CJ-2As made. Am I missing something?
“Low mileage – 64264 actual miles. I am the second owner of this Jeep. I have owned the Jeep since 1976. This CJ-2A has all matching serial numbers, including the tag on the front frame horn.
This flatfender Jeep is an early 1946 model. It has the original timing chain equipped Go-Devil flathead 4 cylinder engine and column shift 3 speed manual transmission. The engine was rebuilt in the 1980s by my father and me. The engine was bored 0.030 over, hardened valve seats were installed on the exhaust valves and the head was milled 0.020. It has approximately 15,000 miles since the rebuild. Has original “military standard” oil filter and oil bath air filter. Also is equipped with a NAPA top cylinder oiler. Electrical system is 6 volt negative ground. The Jeep has not been run in over a year and will need to be trailered or trucked. It will need a new battery.
The driveline is all original with the addition of a Warn “All Range” overdrive unit. The orignal column shift 3 speed transmission shifts solidly and does not pop out of second gear on deceleration as many of these older jeeps are prone to do. Transfer case is original 2 speed and shifts great. The rear axle is a Dana 41 and the front axle is a closed knuckle Dana 25. Gear ratio is 5.38…. ”
