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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** “Was $2300.
(03/02/2018) Bill shared this ad. There’s no sign of the extra gauges, so I can’t tell if this was an APU jeep or if the hood was appropriated from an APU jeep.
“1951 Willys Jeep Body Type VA Flat fenders is not running fly wheel is broke. Owner says it has new tires, rims, brakes, seat.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“So this is a 1948 CJ3A, titled as such with only two parts on it that are original. Everything else is from a samurai. Basically it’s a fiberglass jeep body, bolted onto a 1994 samurai frame with all samurai running gear. It was built to be ultra light, with the bench mark of below 1800 lbs which meets the legal requirements for a side by side (class IV UTV) to go on side by side only delegated trails. It’s also a fully insured street legal registered 48 cj3a (no DEQ to meet). The fiberglass body is also made to be 8” longer than a stock CJ3A has to accommodate taller drivers. Why a samurai? Everything on a samurai is built to be lightweight. The engine is fuel injected, aluminum block and heads, fully dressed weights 175 lbs…….. If you think bolting a chevy 350 inside a CJ2A is a good idea this rig probably isn’t for you. If you recognize the biggest advantage you can have off road is lightweight, we should talk. It takes the idea of “go anywhere” to a whole new level.
The good: 5 speed transmission, fuel injection, low transfer case 5.7:1 H pattern, ARB lockers front and rear, ultra light. It’s set up for easy flat tow (4 prong trailer wired directly into the taillights). Custom made soft top to fit the extra 8″ and an island top as well. It will fit in the bed of most trucks like it’s a side by sides with the tailgate down if you don’t mind some strange looks. Gas tank fill in the rear like a samurai, not under the drivers seat like jeeps. Everything runs and works good on it.
The bad: The main reason I’m selling it is because I’m 6’4″. Even with the body 8″ longer than a stock jeep I am cramped in it and it’s uncomfortable to drive. If you are my height, you might not be happy in this rig. Currently for weight purposes it has no back seat and there is an panel in the back area cut out where the seat is supposed to go. No windshield wipers, I just haven’t hooked them up yet as I’ve never driven off road. Technically it’s not a legal side by side, law states it has to be 1) No more than 65″ wide. 2) No more than 1800 lbs dry weight. 3) 14″ wheels…………….. It meets 1 and 2 fine but I have yet to get 14″ wheels for it. I talked to the director of the Oregon OHV program about the 14″ wheels. He says he doesn’t know of that law ever being enforced and half the side by sides have 15″ wheels anyway, but if since the jeep is a technicality, they might be tecnical on enforcing such things.
The ugly: The paint. It’s an off road toy, I spent no time making it look pretty. It’s not going to win a car show for the paint job. But no dents with the fiberglass…….. Pic shows windshield folded down. $12,000 OBO, trades unlikely but I will consider them if you tell me what you have and what kind of trade deal you are looking for. Hint: I’m not stupid I know how to look things up, I know what a 1986 mini van is worth, think classic bronco, or land cruiser.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This could be worth a look. As Paul points out, it could be an M-38 given the grill. Maybe it has a replacement body.

“100 miles on engine rebuild”
This has a rear PTO (uninstalled) and an overdrive, too.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/127855101249496
“Mostly original. Motor swap to a 2.0 Pinto. Has the overdrive option currently installed. Come with a complete pto set up. No I don’t need help selling. Must be trailer. Master cylinder leak”
This has some updates.

“Purchased last year to be restored but just don’t have the time. New starter installed. Original color was green but has been painted blue. Does have aftermarket power steering. Tires fairly good shape. Has tow bar installed. Has original doors but needs to be refurnished. Does turn over but fuel system and ignition needs to be redone. Serious inquiries only.”
Has mods. My guess is that this is not a 1945 jeep. The body has had some work.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $15,500.
(01/07/2018) Someone spent a lot of time and money building this rig. You might ask why? I certainly wonder why? Sometimes, a feller just has to follow his own path no matter where it leads ….

“I had no plans on selling this jeep, but need cash more than the Willys. It was modified for a movie.
The tub is a 1945 wartime MB jeep. It has newer tires, new glass, new regulator, and a newer rebuilt generator. It is 12 volts. The engine is a 1953 Hurricane engine. Has a T90 transmission. It is a driver, and is old, but is a blast. The carb leaks a little, but I have a brand new one that goes with the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
(02/15/2018) This has an APU hood, so it may have been an APU.
“Not a clean one owner, bad engine”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This looks to be a CJ-3A with an M-38 body and front clip (except for grille).
“This CJ3A has been restored with a rebuilt engine and a new body, braking system, 12-volt electrical system, seats and soft top. In addition, five 6 x 16 inch unmounted wheels are included. It’s not perfect, but it runs well. I will consider reasonable offers.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
No word on whether it runs or not. No description provided.
Looks pretty stock. There might be some body damage over the passenger rear wheel well. Could this possibly be a CJ-V35/U? Note the hooks up front. It does have the wrong hood for a V35.
