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 .

(08/20/2015) Seller indicates this is a project, but it sounds like it runs and drives.
“This is a fantastic project for a Jeep enthusiast! Everything is original accept for the wheels and tires, and the factory after market tailgate, but I also have the original tailgate, (Included). I also am including some extras such as, side mount gas tank and bracket, original Willy’s spare tire with tailgate bracket, 2 – vynil doors, (No Top). This Willy’s has the original flat head, 4 cylinder engine, and it runs great! I was planning to do a frame-up restoration on her, but current circumstances dictate the need for a good work truck. I want to sell her to someone who will follow through with a restoration. I will take cash, or trade for a good work truck of similar value. I have title in hand. Registration is due by the end of this month. Does not require smog. Only serious buyers need contact!”

“I have a 1951 Willys M38 military 1/4 ton Jeep in unrestored condition for sale. M38 ‘flat fender’ serial MC45xxx, built 12-51. The body does have some rust and body-putty patchwork but otherwise is in a reasonably restorable condition. The M38 has had its original engine replaced by a F4-134 Hurricane and thus a hole was cut in the hood for clearance. I do have a more correct L-134 engine listed for sale elsewhere. The 24v electrics were removed and rewired by 12v stock equipment. The brakes have been rebuilt and the vehicle was runnable as of 2008, but has been under tarp since then, and has deteriorated. I have a clear title, but it is not complete, will provide details if interested. Please call me for more info… Continue reading
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1500.
It hasn’t been used in a while.
“Monroe 3 point lift that was removed from a CJ2A over 30 years ago and has been in storage ever since. The pictures show what is included. Basically what is missing is the center link, both lift links and one drawbar mounting bracket. Along with the lower crank pulley, there are two additional pulleys included that are not necessarily for this unit. The hydraulic cylinder moves freely and shows no unusual wear. The flexible hydraulic hoses are included for patterns only. Located in Windsor, Pa.”

UPDATE: This photo may show the below jeep during the parade. The jeep was listed on eBay, but I do not know if it sold or not.
This jeep was used in Nixon’s inauguration parade on January 20, 1969.
“This is an historically significant Jeep: an official unit (complete with dash plaque) in the Inauguration Parade for President Richard Nixon on January 20, 1969. This Jeep is mostly original, has solid and very clean floors and has been gone over from the ground up. Great shape. Garage kept. Original Dauntless V6 engine runs extremely well. Rebuilt carb, all new brakes including parking brake, new clutch and fork, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, speedo cable, new battery, and all new fluids. 2 tops-soft and bikini. Show winner. Reupholstered original vinyl seats front and rear. Jeep OEM roll bar. Older paint with minimal surface rust. Buffs up really well.”

Running a Buick 225 Oddfire V6 with a GM 3 speed + granny low transmission, Warn overdrive, high/low transfer case, and obviously four wheel drive. I replaced the older radiator with an aluminum 3 inch core radiator. The soft top is about 6 months old and is Best Top brand. I’ve used this Jeep as a daily driver sometimes and have always been able to rely on it, it’s really a lot of fun to own and drive, the only reason I am selling it is because I am going to college. Feel free to call or text, texting me first will be better.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
(02/02/2015) Looks in good shape. Is that wood lining the body edge and the dash. Maybe a replacement body?
“THIS HAS BEEN COMPLETELY REDONE FOR A DAILY DRIVER—351 V8-3 SPEED FLOOR SHIFT-NEW FUEL PUMP-NEW IGNITION STARTER-NEW BATTERY-ALMOST NEW TIRES WITH GREAT WHEELS—YOU MUST SEE AND DRIVE TO APPRECIATE…..OR GIVE ME YOUR BEST CASH OFFER….YOU WONT REGRET THIS JEEP-GREAT STREET AND OR RANCH VEHICLE…..”
I’m guessing this is a 3A by the way the bumper mounts.
“I’m selling a Willys cj jeep. I’m not sure what year it is. It is being sold for parts only. No title. It supposedly ran a few years back. The body is rough shape but would be a good project.”

No engine. No gauges on the dash.
“Previous owner said this was a 1952 Willys… No idea what exact model. There is no title and no engine currently in the Jeep.
It had a Chevy 350 in it at one point and is still set up for that. It has what appears to be the original transmission (with a 350 bell housing), the original transfer case, driveshafts, and axles. The frame appears solid and has been boxed in. The body is rough but but it’s still there and solid enough for a trail/ farm rig. Make me an offer! Phone calls only please!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/04/2015) Listed as a 1942 CJ-2A, it looks like it could be a 3A.
“1942 CJ2A Jeep Willys
The Jeep is in decent condition for its age. It was restored in the early 80″s and rarely driven or used. Up until a year ago it was garage kept. It has all the original equipment and was running well when last driven in 1997.

The internet is moving at a snail’s pace for some reason this evening, so only a few updates tonight. We went to the movies and saw the Martian tonight. For some reason my wife and an ex-girlfriend of mine both think Matt Damon’s character reminds them of me? Maybe the just want to stick me on a planet far far away? Hmmmmmm.

I ran across this article that shares Lee Holland’s efforts to replicate a working WWII motor pool. The building’s interior was organized based on actual motor pool plans. You can learn all about it at the Hopewell News: http://www.hopewellnews.com/article_7861.shtml

Jake’s selling this truck and parts.
“hi there, i have a 1951? willy’s pickup truck for sale. it is an early truck because it has the split rear axle, split windshield and early gauge cluster. Engine runs great. has the f134 overhead vale 75hp engine. she moves and shifts great. IT IS A 4X4 1 Ton pickup… at least back in 1951 it was rated as a 1 ton 😛 she does not have brakes 😛 body is so so…Needs love. Frame has rust out in some spots but it was common on the willys pickup trucks. i have another frame that can be used to repair some of it. that frame has rust out too. have another cab with glass in it that is not cracked and i have very good glass for the front windshield. have another set of axles that comes with it to… they have locking hubs and are from a later willys pickup but would great on this truck too. i have a bunch of the harder to find parts for this pickup too like glass for the marking lights and stuff like that.
this willys would make a GREAT winter project. i have too many projects and could use the money for better uses like for my wedding 🙂 the cons are: i dont have a title for it and there is not a vin tag on it so that would be a hurdle you would have to cross at some time.”
