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.
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 .
Well, I can tell it is different, but from this one pic I can’t tell how different.

UPDATE: Back on eBay
(04/07/2010) These look rough.
“I bought these Jeeps to restore however, lack of money, and other things to worry about, has forced me to sell them. The exact year of these Jeeps are unknown THEY ARE BOTH ORIGINAL FLATFENDERS. the YELLOW Jeeps motor is locked. haven’t done anything to see otherwise, it has an valve cover ( 4cyl ) know as the F-head (has valve cover ). the body of this jeep is gone. however axles, ect. are probably still useable. This would be a good parts vehicle for someone with this type of jeep already. The Red Jeep is a L-head (flathead) condition of motor unknown, I believe this engine is know as a ” Go Devil” engine. “JEEP” AND “WILLYS” ( in the pics) are stamped on top of the motor. transmission shifts and transfercase as well drum brake on the trasmission. Body is in fair and repairable condion considering the age of this vehicle.BOTH frames on these vehicles are SOLID. Yellow jeep has a towbar and can be towed, as it was to my house. The red jeep will need trailering. I believe both these vehicles together are worth well over $800.00 for parts or restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(05/05/2008) My favorite line in this is that the seller has checked ebay and therefore knows that these aren’t just old jeeps, but doesn’t know enough to know what models they are. So, the seller claims to know what they’ve got while at the same time claiming that they don’t really know what they’ve got. Ouch!
“I have two Jeeps, either M38s or CJ2s (sorry, I’m not a Jeep expert). I do know they are the original 1940s models and one had a PTO. I’ve had one person say they are M38s and another say they are early civilian CJ2s, but ??? Either way, they are hard-to-find. One is complete incl. engine, the other is minus the engine, but the rest of the drivetrain appears complete. Both need a fair amount of work if the buyer wants to restore them to original, but you could probably get a running jeep in a full weekend of work, maybe less. There is enough here to get one complete, running jeep and have a fair boneyard left over. One body is poor to fair, one is fair. I’ve checked eBay, etc., and know that these are not just “old jeeps,” so please, no low-ball offers. I’m asking $2500.00 for everything.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000
(01/18/2010) This is good looking, though it needs some finishing.

This is a project with a bunch of new parts, including an entire fiberglass body kit.
“I have a jeep for sale that i started a couple years ago, and i don’t have the time to complete. I started by putting later model cj-5 axles under it, and purchasing a 4” rusty’s offroad lift. I added terraflex “revolver” shackles as well. I bought new gear sets for both front and rear, and new OX lockers to match. Included as well is a one piece axle kit. For tires i bought 34×10.50 super swamper LTB. There are many misc. parts as well that go, but too many to list. ***ALSO INCLUDED IS A NEW FIBERGLASS BODY KIT INCLUDING TUB, FENDERS, AND HOOD.*** there is the factory grille and windshield frame as i thought they would hold up better than a fiberglass one. well over 6000 invested, sell it all for 3500.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/01/2010) This project will require some work. Call, don’t email.
“Willys Jeep. The Good: Complete, mostly original, flat-four. Also includes full 6-point cage, new tires, new shocks, new gas tank and lines, and new brake lines.
The Issues: It has been sitting for a while and was in the middle of a 12-volt conversion that was never finished (no generator or alternator) when I bought it, wiring needs attention, turns over and starts, has a couple rust-out spots under the rear tail lights, quater size hole under the drivers seat in the pan, and rust in the out-rigger body braces under the body near the frame. No pink slip.
I bought it as a project and have not had the time to finish it. It had been sitting for a while prior to me buying it… I massaged the cylinders with some Marvel oil, added some fresh gas to the carb and it cranked over and it tried to run. Sputtered, puttered, but ran. Since then, I have replaced all the gas lines, cleaned the new tank (it had old gas in it), added two inline filters, new plugs, new wires, and there it sat. Thus, I know it’s not frozen and only needs minor tweaking to run.
Located in Monterey. $2700 CASH. No checks. No shipping to Paraguay. No crap. Calls only. No emails. Thanks, Ross. 8three1-5nine6-64five9. Delivery possible.”
