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 .

“This is a super hard to find 1956 Willys pickup truck 4 wheel drive
I got from 2nd owner of close to 40 years.
Interior dash straight not cut, has all gauges and radio
The body is super straight with a nearly rust free body. A few quarter size rust holes on floor.
Bed of truck is straight and solid, I have the tailgate also in amazing condition, needs a few pieces of hardware to mount
I have a California title with it.
If you have been looking for a gem to start with for a project you don’t want to miss this.
If you see it you will want it, don’t miss out
Gears are stuck not being used for 30+ years, so I took out the driveshaft so it can roll”
I found this information inside a booklet produced by the Willys Export Corporation (circa 1957). I’ll share the rest of the book when I have time, but I really bought (from Canada off of eBay) the booklet for the Jeep Cargo Personnel Carrier info.
Ron Day spotted this M-38 parked near the Black Diamond Golf Course in Healy, Alaska. It looks abandoned and looks like there is value there.
I wonder what dually adapter is used.

(08/17/2016) This looks to be a good price. Benton City is only 15 minutes away from me.
“1947 CJ2A Runs, brakes are not functional, converted to 12V, electric fuel pump, Dualmatic hubs on front axle, high back bucket seats, large fuel tank behind seats. Body is rough, but solid. Clean title in hand. I have owned it for a year, have not worked on it so it is getting sold.”
Seller will take offers.
“”Barn Fresh” FC 170, overall looks to be complete and all stock minus the wheels & and sunroof addition. Could be a complete restoration or just a mechanical / cosmetic one. I just got it running and I’ll see if I can attach a video of the motor running – runs really good for having sat for a long time, I haven’t driven it as I have two wheels up on stands so the tires could go to the shop for rim cleaning and tubes. (have to email you engine video – cant upload)
In really good shape overall, has minor rust thru in the drivers inner floorboard – gas pedal area – lower cab corners appear to be pretty decent as do the door / window posts. One never know the extent of minor metal repairs until its all stripped but it all looks pretty decent and really straight. Bed frame’s in great shape(no boards on it), this would make a great restoration project I just dont have time for as I’m building a house currently. Windshield is perfect – rare and expensive! both driver and pass door glass need replacing, quarter and rear windows are fine. Seats complete (need upholstery).
what I’ve done:
plugs, points, condenser, cap,rotor, plug wires, tires w/tubes and carb rebuild. It needs a fuel pump and at a minimum the tank cleaned properly prior to attempting to fuel from there. All this got it running again pretty well.
I may post on ebay but only on here currently. As much as I’d like to take this on and do a complete makeover into something really cool I know I wont get to it for a very long time so better to let someone else have a go at it. Make me an offer if you think the ask price isn’t reasonable.
Thanks for looking, call for details – dont text inquiries please. Clear title”

Sure looks in good shape.
“I have for sale this beautiful 1945 Willys MB Jeep Tub. Extremely solid with no rust out other than the front floor pan which has also been hacked, I believe a new floor would be the best option. Tools boxes are straight and solid, rear floor is solid, wheel wells are all solid.
Has numerous small dents and dings but nothing distracting. Original data plates are present and in very good condition, glove box is intact and straight. The rear appears to have a very thin skim coat of Bondo, there are no dents on the inside of the body. I also have registration papers from the previous owner and will provide a bill of sale, no title. I also have the frame which you can have if you want, it has been highly modified and altered. $1800 firm.”
Engine smokes.
“1946 Jeep Willey’s CJ2A, early civilian for sale. This Jeep has been converted to 12 Volts and is very rough around the edges but the engine and transmission work, run, and are original. Engine smokes and there is rust/rot on the floor pan. This is a perfect candidate for conversion/ restoration. Best offer will be accepted.”

This has a DJ-3A body on a CJ 4×4 chassis of some kind. It’s listed as a 1953, but DJ-3As weren’t made until 1956.
“This little Willys Jeep has a completely rebuilt drivetrain, motor, trans, and rearends. Has all new brakes and aluminum wheels with like new tires. Body is a 1953 DJ-3A, solid floors and good shape overall.
Runs and drives great, racing seats, gas tank and battery mounted in the back. Still needs gages wired and a roll bar and windshield, still a project. No title, but these have the screw on ID tags. Buy a non-running old rusted out Willys with a title and you’re done.
Looking to trade for a 3/4 ton or a one ton pickup, or another Jeep, or cash works, asking $2200, Trade $2500.”

This undated postcard is for sale on eBay. Note the wagon in the right lower corner. At first I thought that was a Parkway Conversion, but given the setup on the truck behind the wagon (the bend seats) I think this could be a Traveller. I’d have to guess this photo was taken in the early 1960s. It’s only photo I know of that shows a wagon at the Las Brisas Resort in Mexico.
The fact the wagon isn’t quite pink, kind of more purplish, might mean it didn’t belong to the resort, but just ferried visitors to/from it. Hertz Rentals did a similar thing by renting blue colored surrey-looking DJ-3As to visitors (see bottom of post).
