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 $2000.
(08/27/2016) Maybe some value here?
“Rare two wheel drive ,’49 Willys pickup , 4 cyl locked up , trans shift nob says 4speed, as far as I know it’s original beside wheels and paint. I know the owners since 60’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
(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.
“approx. 5″ x 6” Typewriter Release glued to back of photograph Stae Department issued 1944 Very good vintage condition with only minor waves or creases if any Please see images”

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”

Looks like a good price if the rust isn’t bad.
“jeep is in very good shape. no rust holes in tub. one spot of surface rust below passenger door. chevy 283 engine. runs well. 4 speed trans and twin stick transfer case. 4 wheel drive works. no top but has snaps and brackets for one. rebuilt rochester carb. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
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. ”

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. ”

“Very old Willys pickup, parts truck.Some good sheet metal parts, glass, front and rear difs., trans and transfer case, other misc. parts.Must be trailered.”
Soft looks in pretty good shape. There’s value here.
“Great project car. Originally deployed as a Marine Ordinance vehicle. Engine requires work to run (I know of a rebuilt one available for $600 – easy to put in), and brakes need work. Rolls and shifts through all gears easily. Converted from 24V to 12V. Some rust, but solid car. Odometer shows 52,085 – unknown if accurate. Original placards show the history of this solid vehicle. Full manual reprints go with car. Let me know if you have questions or want more pictures, or want to see it. Some additional parts convey with vehicle. You will need a trailer to take it away.”
