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 .
Was this a variant of the Kelly or Beck half cab? The top isn’t quite right (I remember running into this previously, but I can’t remember what we decided).
“Good shape runs great needs brake work but I have a new master cylinder”

Not sure how much value is here. Listed at $2500, but in the text seller says to make fair offer.

It runs. Seller indicates there’s very little rust, but there seems to be some rust or damage around the middle of the passenger side.
“1961 Jeep Willys cj6

Very little rust…great for play, project or parts, no title.

“I have a 1954 Jeep Willys CJ3B for sale. I had gotten it to restore, but I have too many projects and my wife wants me to clear out the yard. Good clear title, needs windshield. I can help deliver within 30 miles.”
It runs. Looks like rust is lurking at the steps.
“Sellling my 1951 M38 Willys. This is the military version of the CJ-3A. Korean War veteran.
Does not have the original L-head engine, it was replaced by an F willys engine.
Unrestored, unmolested (aside from engine swap), retains original Army marking.
Starts & Runs, brakes need attention. 4wd with fording original equipment.
This one would need little to make it a driver keeping the patina.
Selling on a BILL OF SALE, as it comes from Georgia and they don’t issue titles for antique cars. Easy to get the FL title and I am more than willing to help on that matter.”

Listed as a 1998 photo, I believe this is actually dated on the back of the photo as being ’48.
“1998 Press Photo New Orleans Mardi Gras Carnival floats being pulled by jeeps. This is an original press photo. Carnival.New Orleans Mardi Gras Carnival Photo measures 10 x 8.25inches. Photo is dated –1998.”

Drain holes have been filled, but looks solid.
“I have a 1947 CJ-2A with a 1973 Buik V6 retrofit to original equipment. 1/4 Ton. Photos tell the story as far as the restoration. It runs but needs some tlc from someone with more time. Used only locally. I only know a little about it’s history as I purchased as a fun thing to have but now it must go.”

Looks in good shape, but it doesn’t run and needs a bed. Looks like a great restoration project.
“All original parts except bed. Not running. 3-sp standard transmission. 4WD. $3500 OBO.”
http://visalia.craigslist.org/cto/5657012079.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
Dan spotted this truck. Looks pretty solid for an old Arkansas vehicle.
“1963 Willy’s Jeep Gladiator Pick up, pretty rare, solid old truck. Has the 230 tornado overhead cam straight 6 cylinder, 3 speed on column, 4 X 4 works good, clean interior, good body with older amateur paint job, new 10 ply tires, new brakes, all new gauges, it’s a J-300 heavy duty truck with 8 foot bed. Runs and drives and would take very little to be a daily driver. May take trades, but if yours is not worth more than $4250 in the REAL WORLD, please be ready to add cash or don’t waste my tim”
Motor is stuck. Seller is also selling the trailer for $400.
“Motor is stuck from sitting. Transmission and transfer case are not stuck. Body is solid but has lots of patches and some bondo.
This would be a good project with a motor swap. Sold with bill of sale only but can register and convey with current registration at buyer’s expense (Generally less than $100 including the insurance required to do so).”
http://maine.craigslist.org/cto/5656651698.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Looks like it could use some paint.
“Very fun Jeep great for hunting or just 4 wheeling
350 Chevy Engine runs good
New tires
Has a town bar”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
Rodney’s selling this trailer. Looks like it has potential.
“Selling a civilian Bantam T3-C trailer. The trailer is usable as-is or can be restored close to original. The paint has peeled and trailer has lots of surface rust. Some heavily rusted areas might need patching. Overall, the floor is solid. It has the 1-7/8 Fulton coupler and the original front leg support. Chains are all there but could use de-rusting. I had to have new tires installed on the trailer in order to pull it home. Tires have less than 70 miles on them. Tail light wiring are there but I have not tested them. The tail lights seem to have been replaced by the previous owner. The rest of the trailer seem to be original. The trailer has the pockets for the bows.
Data plate is gone. Don’t know what year it is but looks like a later model. No title or registration. Will be sold with a Bill of Sale. Original California license plate is still attached. I’m not sure what needs to be done to get the trailer titled and registered. Perhaps the license plate can help track the original records.”
Tim spotted another trailer.
“MILITARY TRAILER ITS IN GOOD SHAPE NEEDS A LITTLE WORK

Roberto shared these illustrations.
The first one (digital artwork) is a commissioned order cartoon for a customer at Quebec, Canada. It depicts a Canadian made Willys M38 jeep and his owner at the wheel (with his wife at co driver seat). This was offered as a birthday gift by a friend of him.
The second one, hand painted, is another Willys M38 jeep. This one was ordered by a customer at South Dakota. You could see the Mount Rushmore at background plus some details (birds, etc.) at the background. The customer appears at the wheel of his jeep with all his family.
And the third one (in black and white, also hand painted) was ordered as a birthday gift by a German customer and it was offered to his girlfriend. Both of them appear as his jeep and as background I draw a typical old French street.
UPDATE: This ad is still available.
I guess Texcel was a Scotch Tape competitor? Never heard of it.
“Approximate size: 5.5″x13.75″ (ad has not been removed from the 10.5″x13.75″ page)

I hasn’t been run in a couple years, but it is supposedly capable of running and driving. Looks like the trencher is a Jeep-A-Trench.

Seller isn’t sure what the value of the winch is. Note the angle iron spring shackles.
“Rear pto driven winch off a 1946 jeep willy’, works just fine, just don’t want on the jeep for restoration…. Not sure what it’s worth, make a reasonable offer…”
