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 not a complete GPW. What I have is frame with axles, springs,steering and wheels. Also included is windshield assembly, and front fenders. The frame serial number is 19095. The frame is solid. It has the original F script trans cross member. Half of the machine gun mount has been cut off, has 4″ channel for a front bumper and the front u-shaped cross member has had the front of it removed and replaced with angle iron. You can see in the pictures. Axles are Willys MB and turn fine. The left rear axle shaft is an early scalloped type. Has steering gear box and steering wheel. Brake and clutch pedals and master. T84 F script case. Bell housing, shift tower and working 18 transfer case. Fenders are in decent shape. Windshield has good glass but windshield frame retainer(hinge part of tilt out window) is rusted and will need to be replaced. Wheels are 15″ with dry rot tires that hold air. I do not have any paper work on this but will include a bill of sale. MUST TAKE IT ALL.”

I don’t know if this is a good price or not.

Oh, and one more …. In Mid July a small group of intrepid, brave, dedicated, and somewhat nutty jeepers will begin an epic trip to Alaska. Yours truly will be driving Rusty and reporting on our daily adventures. Expect a formal announcement in the next week or so.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
(03/23/2015) Seller lists this as a M-38, but it appears to have a MB/GPW body and fenders.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep for sale. I am 72 and cannot get in and out of this Jeep. This is the only reason I am selling it. This Jeep has had $15,000.00 in work done to it. Comes with all the paperwork. Runs excellent.”

Tim spotted this. The back seat has been bent backwards. Some of these have the steering wheel attached to the dash, while others, like this, have the steering wheel attached to a box. One of these is currently on eBay for $50.
“All metal Willys Jeep from the 1940s. Shows the use that a war time jeep might. Complete with spare, folding windshield and liftable hood.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $1500.
Steve spotted this ad. Looks like a good body.
“I am selling my Willys project. This wagon was brought home from Phoenix AZ four years ago. The body is far from perfect, but is largely rust free. The wheel wells were chopped by a previous owner, and the lower rear sheet metal was mashed, so I removed it. The firewall has been partially removed do to a hack job V8 swap in its prior life. The front floors need to be replaced as they are stressed cracked.
What is included:
– New front floor pans (4 pieces)
– Body tub
– Front fenders
– Hood
– Grille
– Original Seats
If you are looking for a Willys Wagon project, this is a great piece to start from. The unrestored wagons from this neck of the woods are rust buckets. Though this truck is not perfect, it is very solid.”
Doug shared this interesting pedal jeep. I can’t identify it. For the price, a person could get a real jeep.
“Antique WWII Jeep Pedal Car , one of a kind, has a horn and headlights, shock absorbers, adjustable seat and pedals, made of heavy gauge metal, very unique. I might be interested in some trades of old military items.”
https://baltimore.craigslist.org/clt/5855603323.html
I picked this up a few weeks ago.
The September 1961 issue of Hot Rod Magazine included this reader-submitted photo. The owner explained that the jeep did well as a drag racer (in the stock 4cyl class I’m sure) when they weren’t using it as a plow jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s an interesting item. It’s powered by a Hercules engine (according to the seller).
“This is a commercial propane backup generator that was installed in a fire station. It was working when removed. It is approximately 20kw. The best part is the engine is the same engine that was in production Willy’s at the time. It is powered by 1960s Jeep Hercules 6 cylinder flat head. Please call for more info and to take a look.
Cash only and sales will be made in person.’
UPDATE: The seller is selling the rest of the DJ collection as well.
This convertible DJ-3A looks pretty stock. Note the flatly in the back ground of the first pic. Looks like it might be a DJ-3A or Surrey that someone modified. Also of note, the rear top bow has an extra piece across that top of it.
“Selling a nice Willys dispatch jeep. 2wd have paper work reflecting over 4 k worth of work. Runs/ drives. Sweet little runner”
