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 .
Thanks to Idaho Todd for this wonderful 2016 Halloween Willys photo.
I will be spending all (and I do mean ALL) day setting up for trick-o-treaters. My mother-law-law likes to put on a big show for the kids, so we decorate on Halloween day then take everything down after they leave. Hopefully it doesn’t rain this year!
This photo shows Canadian soldiers carrying French civilians to safety near Falaise, France.

Looks like a thoughtful restoration.
“I’m selling my restored 1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A. The only reason I’m selling is to fund another purchase. It has had a frame off restoration back around 2006. This is a early production, matching numbers jeep, more desired by collectors. It even has the original serial numbered engine. Every last part was gone through and refurbished or replaced. It has been restored as original as possible down to the original body and wheel colors, 6 volt electrical system, and cloth covered wiring. The body was just repainted very recently. It has a show quality finish.
I have only put 4000 miles on the jeep since the restoration. It runs great and I wouldn’t be afraid to drive it anywhere.
I’m tired of people trying to scam me. I will not respond to text messages or email until you call and I know you are a real person. I do not have voice mail, but I will return your call if I miss it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Ted’s selling this 3A that includes a winch, overdrive, and a bed extension.
“For sale is a 1951 CJ3A Willys Jeep. It has been re powered with a period correct Chevy 265 V8 which I believe to be a late 50s motor. Motor has been adapted to the original Jeep three speed transmission and model 18 transfer-case. Motor runs well but could use a tune up and original Rochester carb could use a rebuilding at some point. Choke is a little finicky and I dont think the older carbs gaskets agree with the new gas were burning. Jeep runs ,drives and stops. Shifts through all gears as it should. Continue reading

(10/01/2016) It’s a project that includes a Sears half cab.
“For Sale 1947 CJ2
(I thought it was an CJ2a but there is no “a” on the title)
CLEAR TITLE,
Has been partly taken down for body work… my Son was tinkering with it, but it needs alot of work and we don’thave the time.
4 cyl “Go Devil” Engine: Not running… Needs either mechanical work or just replacement. (Allot of folks just swap out the old motors for Chev 350’s)
Has a half Cab: probably a Sears model they were very popular back in the day.
Front Hubs: “WARN”
New Steering wheel”
I found this great old mailer on eBay. It was likely published at the end of WWII, as there are no references to the CJ-2A. You can learn more about Hyman Berg here.
Here’s the front side of the mailer: 
I’ve split the front of the mailer into sections so it can be better seen. This part shows a closeup of the front and back of mailer when folded:
British soldiers are being transported over the river Orne.

Looks like a restoration process stalled.

It runs.
“Selling this jeep to help pay for LDS mission. Body has a few dents on the corners and has about a quarter sized hole rusted out on the driver side rear corner and by the driver side door. The soft top is pretty much useless. Needs a little work but it runs well and sounds amazing. It has a Clifford 6=8, msd ignition control, new battery, new U-joints, and a recently rebuilt carburetor”

Listed as an M-38, it looks more like a CJ-3A.
“Jeep 1950 Willys M38 with F-Head “Hurricane” 134 Cu. In. Engine. Full Roll Cage With Rack, Fuel Cell. Good Tires and Service Manual. Runs Great!”
Needs some work and has some civilian parts, but there’s still enough here to check it out.
“1942 Willys MB body on CJ2A frame. Runs and drives well. All it would need to be a driver is the drivers side rear blinker replaced front drivers blinker and the brakes need adjusting. Body is quite solid for a 74 year old Jeep. Engine runs and shift through the gears but could probably use a tune up. Can be towed easily using the attached tow bar even at freeway speeds. ”
http://www.ksl.com/auto/listing/3307374?ad_cid=3
There looks to be parts value here.
“1946 Jeep Willy’s – rolling chassis, several extra parts, some parts are questionable for reuse (as shown in pictures), No title and no identification plate, bought jeep for parts years ago, tires are rotting but will hold air for short time, also have an extra jeep frame that is not in the pictures. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $135.
Craig notes this is an MB head.
“Willys flat head jeep motor, the motor is not frozen turns freely.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(11/17/2015) This appears to be the same jeep that was sold a few years ago, but it’s condition appears to be worsened. If it has the “314” on the fenders, then it is the same one.
“1954 Willys Jeep it is actually a Mp38a it has a Buick 231 odd fire V6 with power steering also has headers. It is 3 speed manual with twin stick transfer case At one point it was the brookville Fire dept. grass unit. It is great running and driving jeep it has a lot of new front end parts on it. I took the gas tank out that sets under the drivers seat and put one underneath the back put its not hooked up yet I put a boat tank in the back just to be able to move it around you can drive it it could also use floor pans it has had all new rear tub section replaced with little work this could be a very nice jeep. ”
