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: Still Available.

(06/21/2016) Looks like the passenger side has been filled in. Has a Meyer half cab.
“Four wheel drive, V6, dual exhaust, T14 transmission, twin stick transfer, 3.73 gears, rancho front springs and shocks, half steel cab, good glass. Body mostly solid, has some small rust and rot spots. Commando grill and hood. Mileage unknown. Been sitting for about 8 years. Tires have dry rot. Fuel tank needs to be flushed. Needs tune up. Starts, runs, and stops, but is NOT road-worthy, needs to be towed. Nice project. MA transferable title. No warranty, no guarantee, as is, where is. For parts or restoration. No trades. Cash or bank check.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
“I am selling two Jeep forward controls, one is a 1960, it is in very rough condition, but it is all there. It is blue, has a 3 speed manual trans, 4 cylinder engine, I have ran it on starting fluid, and it even has a sunroof (not factory). I bought it last year as a project, but I would rather sell it and put the money towards another project that I have.
I also have a second FC 150 I bought for parts. It is a 1957, green, only has a cab, no bed, the frame was cut right behind the rear axle, so it is no good. But almost everything in front of the rear axle is there. Both windshields are broken, and a couple of the door windows are also broken, but I have good glass for the back three windows. Both are 12 volt, and neither of them have titles, green cab has a vin plate, but blue one doesn’t. Let me know if you have any questions. Not splitting them up”
Unclear if it runs or not. Might have some interesting history. Sounds like it could be a project.

The Gypsy Rose Lee Jeep is a stripped down version of the regular jeep for airborne troops (one of a variety developed). Made of “plastic plywood”, it was almost a 1,000lbs lighter than the standard 2,200lb jeep. You might also know the jeep as the MB-L. This article, of which the Gypsy Rose Lee was a part, was published in the December 1947 issue of Willys Overland Unity Magazine.
The 41st Annual Military Vehicle Preservation Association International Convention will be August 11-13, 2016 in Pleasanton, CA, USA at the Alameda County Fairgrounds.

I imagine the only thing that would have made this better for soldiers is if women had been serving the ice cream!

Seth spotted this odd former postal-jeep-turned-jeep-rod. Whatever jeep it was you can see the spring hangers are wider than normal, meaning the springs were outboarded. That lends credence to the postal jeep theory, though it means the postal jeep upon which it was based was later than 1950s.
“This Jeep-based creation started out life as a Postal Jeep in the 1950s. At some point, a New Mexico-based artisan took that base and created this custom. It is now fitted with a 230 cubic inch Chevy straight six, agricultural-grade 3-speed manual transmission, and minimal suspension. This extremely low, stiff, home-built creation has a cool aesthetic that falls somewhere between single seat dirt tracker and 1940s tractor. It runs and drives and is sold on a bill of sale.”

I’m not sure i this runs or not.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
There may be some jeep worth saving here.
“Looking to trade 1954 Willys high hood for 4×4 utility quad or possible firearm. Let me know what you have. I don’t know too much about the Jeep. I was told it ran when it was parked but hasn’t been started in years. It has a dented fender but I have a replacement fender. Clean title in hand. Email or call with any questions.”
Unclear how much value is here.

“Selling this for someone else. This is the information I have in the ad below. If there is some other piece of information that is needed I can try to find out. Thanks!
1960 Willys Jeep CJ5
Original flathead 4cyl engine
3 speed T90 transmission
2 speed transfer case with front PTO takeoff for original PTO winch, winch not included.
12 volt electrical system
Body rough, numerous dents and some spots of penetrating rust
Will not start right now but it was running when parked (3 years ago) so it shouldn’t take too much work to run again. It probably has bad gas or spark plugs causing current starting issues. Engine always ran well once warmed up. Lights work, but electrical system is bad and will not charge battery. Windshield is broken but it is flat glass so it shouldn’t be too expensive or complicated to replace. No soft top included. Tires show some cracking but continue to hold air even after being parked for several years.
Additional items included:
Extra windshield frame, no glass
Original oil bath air filter, engine currently has aftermarket paper air filter
Replacement metal pan for the rear floorboard/small bed area in the rear of the jeep”
http://portland.craigslist.org/grg/cto/5670541810.html
That might be a VEC body. I doubt there is much value here.
“Willys Jeep…. project!!! $1000.00 obo. Willing to trade”

Christian and his group of jeep enthusiasts gathered together once again. He reports they had fun, despite some heavy rain. Joining them was a couple from the UK, James and Annie, who are traveling around Europe in their Willys MB. I’m hoping to find out if James and Annie are reporting on their adventure online.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
As Andy points out, it appears to have a CJ-3A chassis.
“For sale is a 1945 Willys MB Jeep. It has the period correct Go-Devil engine stamped MB-396861, placard serial 258532. Odo reads 7897 miles. Body is in good shape, it is painted metallic blue mostly, with some painted primer white due to a small body repair. The jeep will start, run, and drive, but has starting issues once it is warmed up. Currently registered as a non-op, has historical plates and I’ve got the title in hand.
This would be a great ranch cruiser with a little work, or the beginning of a full military restoration. Please email with interest. Thanks, Josh”
Art spotted this almost stock M-38 with a Stewart Warner heater.
1950 Willys M38 Model MC Arctic Jeep 4 X 4. Serial # MC 30993. Mileage reads 68,059. Powered by the original 4 cylinder Go Devil engine. 3 speed manual transmission with 2 speed transfer case and locking hubs. This is an actual Military issue Arctic model Jeep with the rear body reinforcement panels. The top and doors are removable and the heater can be run without starting the Jeep (heater has not been tested but is reported to be working). This Jeep starts easily and runs good, the transmission works as it should.
The Willy’s M38 Jeeps were only built from 1949 to 1952 and this is a nice example of a Korea War vintage Jeep with an unusual Arctic service upgrade. To watch the video.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Has diesel engine and aluminum body.
“1953 Jeep with an aluminum body. Dash and grill are original. Clutch and transition are new. This jeep will climb a wall with its 4 cylinder turbo diesel. Needs some TLC but its a blast to drive. includes a winch and snowplow.
I am sorry I had many calls and I dropped my phone in the lake Tuesday. If you are still interested please call.”
