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 .

(10/13/2017) This has had some floor work.
“1953 Willys CJ-3b (high hood)
Not too pretty and not very fast but a good solid old Jeep.
I cut out rust and patched floors and hat channels.
No heat or a/c, no cruise control, no power steering or power brakes, no top.
Everything works except fuel gauge and windshield wiper.”

Jim’s sold and shipped a variety of jeeps over the past decade. I imagine the cut hood and lower grill was meant to add visibility, but I can’t say for sure.

“The perplexed look on peoples faces when they see 4 shifters sticking up through the floor board is priceless. I’ve owned this Jeep for nearly 5 years with no plans to ever sell it but with a family of 4 (+3 dogs) I never drive it. On top of that we’re building a house at 8100 ft on the mountain and without a garage I can’t stand to see it sit outside anymore. This Jeep was professionally built, no “hack work” on this rig. Adult owned, never abused, I’ve only driven it to town and on the back roads around the lake where I live.

That looks to be a Cab Enclosure hardtop, which means it requires the vertical windshield.

(05/28/2017) “1958 Willy’s Jeep CJ-3B Navy Department issue. My Dad has owned this Willy’s since 1995 and used it on his property until 2010 and parked it. He never registered it and does not have a title. I does run but will need a new water pump (seized) and fuel pump. The carb. needs to be rebuilt. He has three original wheels. Engine number matches the Willy’s ID plate.”

The body’s had some work done to it.
“1953 CJ3B Willys unfinished project
4 cylinder overhead cam F – Head engine has less than 10 hours run time since complete rebuild by local engine shop. Fully functioning 4WD high and low range. Jeep runs and drives very good. Jeep has original steel grill, hood, firewall, dash, windshield and tailgate. The main body tub was custom built out of 1/8” steel plate(see photos). This thing will not rust out any time soon. Starter and ignition systems have all new wiring. Also included is an Allstate brand aluminum hard top with doors that was originally available for Willy’s from Sears. Except for steel body tub and bucket seats, Jeep has not been modified – all OEM driveline, 6 – volt system, brake system, original gauges, etc.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Could be a good price for the right person. Needs some items.
“All original bumper to bumper and top to bottom. Just had the original starter refurbished and it’s ready to install. I love this jeep but she deserves someone with more time than I have to give. Needs tires , seat covers, and a minor tune-up. It was used only a couple weeks out of each year for deer hunting purposes by previous owner till starter went. Then it sat for a few years till I bought it. Reasonable offers considered but like I already said, I love this JEEP”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
(07/21/2017) Craig shared this one. Seller wants $6000 for all the jeeps.
“I have 4 Willys Jeeps. ’49, ’60, ’65, & ’69. I have titles to all except the ’69. The ’49 alone is worth the price of entire lot. I want $6,000 for ALL. I will NOT separate at this time! I may sell the ’49 by itself but prefer to sell the whole lot. Please don’t text me asking me for a book of information back and forth. It’s much easier to CALL! I can also help with transport AFTER the deal has been made. I am willing to trade the entire lot up or down for a TJ or JK Jeep. May be interested in other trades but Jeep preferred. I thought I would have time for a few projects but that has changed so I’m selling them all. It would honestly be easier to come in person and check them all out. Missing parts here, extra parts there, etc. PLEASE no calls or texts after 11pm.”
I dare say there is some bondo on the hood. No description provided with the ad.

Not sure how much value is here.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/18/2017) “1954 Willys Jeep in all original condition except for the paint job, which is his favorite color. This is my grandpas Jeep and he has owned it for 30+ years. Used primarily for getting some popcorn from the popcorn stand on sundays and taking a drive through town at about 25 mph. Also used for a parade each year as well. He has the original jump seat for the back and the original complete top for it as well. I believe it is a soft top.
He told me it has 11,000 miles on it. I thought it was more like 16,000, but I could be wrong… So it’s either around 11,000, but no more 16,000… And again, all original. Has been well kept and well maintained over the years. However, I don’t think he’s driven it for a few years now due to it getting a little difficult to get in and out of, so it may need to be freshened up a little bit. Always use to start as soon and as quick as you could push the button and always purred like a kitten. Feel free to contact me with questions and or offers and I will pass them on to my grandpa and communicate back to you that way.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3999.
It appears to be a CJ-3B, but it’s listed as a 1950. It also has a CJ-3A windshield. Maybe a mix of parts?
“For sale 1950 jeep willy. currently does not run due to carburetor being dirty. I have not had the time to remove and rebuild. A new carburetor is not to expensive and can be found on multiple websites.”
Listed as a 1952 M-38, it looks more like a CJ-3B. It’s a project.
“1952 willys M38 jeep 4×4 its all complete with the original engine and tranny
And transfer case all Untouched with all the factory body parts she is very solid.
The M38 windshield could be folded flat for firing and the body was equipped with a pintle hook for towing and lifting shackles front and rear. The headlights were no longer recessed as on previous models, but protruded with a guard wire in front. The “pioneer” tools (axe and shovel) which were carried on the MB’s driver side were transferred to the passenger side of this vehicle”

It runs. There could be value here.
“I have a 1950’s Willys Jeep for sale. The motor runs great, smooth, and no smoke. All the electrical needs rewiring, as some of the wires are broken and the insulation is falling off too. The master cylinder is frozen as the brake pedal won’t move and the air cleaner is missing. Also, there is a hand operated plow set up on it, but I do not have the plow itself. There is no paper work with this, but I will include a bill of sale.”
Needs some work.
