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: This was a great price at $500. It sold quickly.
There’s likely some good value here. If I had the space, I would tow this one home on our return from NM.
“Runs and drives. Has oil leak on manifold. No clear title but I have it. Be a great parts jeep. 225 buick engine.”
Justin is selling his CJ-5. It runs and has a fiberglass body.
“Cj5 for sale, recently rolled, do not have time to fix a few odds and ends. Needs windshield, hood and right fender. Still starts right up. Fiberglass tub in good shape. Would make a good mud/woods jeep or project. 35″ tires, have title, hardtop and doors”

Seller erroneously describes the M-38A1 as an MB and the cj body as a 1942.
“1942 Willy’s jeep body flat fenders hood windshield seats fuel tank grille and frame. Have title and currently registered.
1953 mb runs and drives no paperwork.
Extra windshield 2 roll bars.
Package deal $2500 obo.”

Could be a good price.
“1 CJ2A tub, ’46-’48, no dataplate, does require some love (don’t they all). Comes with another tub, from tool box forward are from a 46, with data plate, the bed is from a later model and is fairly rotted out. Also has 1 set of fenders, hood, grill, tailgate. Buyer takes it all, $300 OBO”

No pics and little description.
“Rebuilt Jeep kept all original looking to sell 5000”
http://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/5780434131.html‘
Has updated drive train. Not sure how much MB is left.
“1942 Willys jeep flat fender has a 302 v8 needs some work runs good”
http://seattle.craigslist.org/skc/cto/5780651673.html
There appears to be some parts value here.
“1976 Jeep CJ5. Ford 289 v8 with Ford 4-speed manual transmission, custom adapter, Jeep transfer and diff’s. $1000 + 94.00 tax. ”

Bob’s gathering was this past weekend. He shared these photos. Looks like it was great weather for the event.
Dallas found this serial number on his body. Based on this thread, we believe it indicates an aftermarket body. Has anyone else run across similar numbers on their CJ-5 bodies?
He wrote, “I’ve got a 1959 CJ5. It has the typical serial number data plate on the driver side firewall in the engine bay, but in addition, it’s also got a serial number stamped directly into the firewall on the passenger side in the engine bay. Neither the location nor the number format itself are ones I’ve seen before on other CJ5s. Have you ever seen a number there? I’m wondering if it might mean I have an aftermarket tub.”
UPDATE II: Another of these surfaced in 2019.
(12/18/2016) Rudy just purchased this rare and unusual O.C. Szekely-built Ford powered four wheel drive APU. It’s got a an Szekely badge and an O.E. Szekely stamped transmission. I don’t recognize the transfercase, which falls to the driver’s side rather than passenger side.
Thanks to some careful research, Rudy discovered that this vehicle was one of eight deliver to the military on August 25th, 1953. Specifically, “”The vehicle is a specially built two passenger 4X4 truck powered by a FORD eight cylinder engine. . . . A generator mounting chassis, located between the seats, supports the two generators and generator drives” and the “transmission that incorporates the transfer case is designed to transfer engine power to the generator drive”. O. E. Szekely dropped off eight of these vehicles to a shipping service on August 25th, 1953.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9800.
Has a variety of updates.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ 2 4WD in excellent condition. It has Chevy V8 short block 350 engine and 3 gears with overdrive transmission (easy 70MPH). No leaks. All electric work excellent! Daily driver! Current registration. Smog exempt!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.

The steering has been converted to a saginaw box. It’s mounted pretty high on the frame. A good picture from the front ought to give more info. Otherwise, it looks like a solid jeep.

“For Sale: 1952 M38 that appears to have come right from the battlefields of the Korean War!

(Additional pictures will be posted throughout the week of September 12, 2016)
After 64 years this Willys has its original military markings, original canvas top, and original front and back seat. Purchase this time capsule today and drive it away. Yes, this gem runs!

This is a mix of a GPW body and CJ parts.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $18,000.
This looks more like a standard M-38A1 with a rifle added. It’s missing the spare tire just off the cowl and the correct windshield. See a more original one here: http://www.m38a1.com/Models/models_106.htm
“1953 M38-A1C Willy’s Jeep w/106mm mounted recoilless rifle parade vehicle. Cannon has .50cal tracer mounted for fire adjustment also. Only 45k miles. Brand new custom made canvas seats NIB ready to install. Other extras included. Runs, drives, antique plates, clean title in hand.”
Seller indicates this is in perfect condition, but it seems to be missing parking lights at the very least.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/5770706336.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Runs.
“Rare 1959 FC 170 Willys Jeep Truck came from California. Rare to find in this condition! Very old! Red/ white Truck does come with the box. The box is in fair condition with some surface rust but no holes. The pictures show that this truck has rust just on drivers corner and small spot on very front of the cab! Project truck.
Started right up after first try. Runs a little rough but it does run. Decided not to take on this project on due to too many others. Purchased new U- Joints, new water pump, and a new alternator comes with the truck but these have not been replaced or installed! Has new electric fuel pump installed, new oil in the rear and in front ends. I have removed soft plugs, water pump and radiator off the truck but still have them.
Invested much more than starting price already. Shipping is buyers responsibility and buyer to pay all costs. Prefer local pick up!”
