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: Price dropped to $3400.
(04/17/2023) This doesn’t run and has some hat channel rust, but it’s a pretty stock one.

“1951 Jeep Willys CJ-3A Clean title It’s all there, nothing missing Brand new seats Brand new windshield All original, never messed with Pics are main description Body is rough Doesn’t run, been sitting for awhile with bad head gasket”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This does not run at the moment.
“Selling a 1966 military mule. This is a fun thing to have. And it is titled as an atv in the state of Oregon and I do have a clean title and all the paper work that goes with it also have manuals for it as well. It’s rated as a half ton. Has articulating steering and is 4×4. It did run but sat with gas in the tank and it gummed up the carb. Asking 5500 obo”
Tim’s selling these two parts. He is willing to ship if buyer pays for shipping. You can contact Tim at willysjeep @ gmail.com (remove spaces from around the @).
“I have a very good reconditioned leaf spring ( 34 1/2″ centers relaxed) and nice 9″ drum (never been turned). Looking for $35 for either plus shipping”
The drum is the early riveted version:
And, this is the 34.5″ spring:

“4 cylinder (4-134 F head) runs well. 4×4 works great. Most of the body and frame are in good shape. The bed has some rust – you can see in photos. Comes with tow bar, original steering wheel and a few other parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
David’s selling this parts trailer. It has the data tag.
“Bantam Trailer for sale – 1945 I received the trailer as you see it in the pictures, used the trailer around the property but do not need it any more. Tires hold air, wheel axle turns ok, no bottom (as you can see in the pictures) and no tail gate. Not road worthy, I have made no modifications, hitch is the way I received the trailer, paint is peeling. Hopefully someone can use the trailer for parts or restore? $200 obo Thanks”
UPDATE: I’ve added a pic of my toy collection at the bottom per John’s request. As for the next updates, our hectic spring property schedule and some 16 hours days seem to have taken a toll on me, so I’m needing to rest (Apparently, 57yo is not the new 40yo). Fortunately, we’ve gotten a ton done and I made additional progress on the racer. The flooring and firewall all have paint. Now, on to the seat frames (once I feel better).
(April 27) … I still have a couple days of work (irrigation systems and garden stuff) before regular updates resume. In the meantime, I’ve got the race jeep floors and firewall painted and ready to assemble. The “dash” gauge plate (actually hooked to the horizontal rollbar) is being constructed in free moments. Once the seat brackets and seat belt anchors, and the top anchors drilled, I’ll be ready to clean and paint the chassis (rattle can paint as the chassis has some rubberized paint that is a bitch to get off. Then, the final assembly can begin.
In the meantime, thanks to Andy spotting the ad, I was able to pick up these 9 plastic jeeps (only one was slightly broken) and one metal one for only $10! I ended up paying the woman more, because she went through the trouble of shipping them. She was grateful for the extra dollars, but it only seemed right. She is keeping a watch out for more jeeps for me.
Note the Oglesby jeep is there for size reference.
John asked about my jeep-toy collection. Here are many (sorry the pic isn’t better). The “jeep room/study) still needs to be setup (we were going to redo this room in the shop, but I am trying to get the real-jeeps all running first:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Mike shared this truck. At $500 there seems to be some good value here in parts.
“Not running, no title, selling as is! Give me an offer, trying to give it a home to someone in need of a project!”
Bill spotted this one. Not many of these around. This is sold by an importer. No description provided.

UPDATE: Still Available.
Joe is selling this Mule. This is part of an estate sale. It has no title. Email joehuld @ pacbell.net (remove spaces around the @) with Mule in subject line or Call Joe at 626 379 0059.
“This mule was completely restored a few years ago by the late owner and used very little after restoration; only 31 hours show on the Stewart Warner hour meter. The vehicle has been in dry inside storage for the past couple of years. It has STA 7.50-10 NHS tires that appear to be practically new. The O.D green paint is in excellent condition. It is not a street legal so has no registration or title but the attorney representing the estate will provide a bill of sale. It is located in South Pasadena, California and will have to be trailered. It does roll easily”
I know I’m still on a break, but when folks send cool stuff, it is hard to resist posting it. Maybe someone has this jeep …

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Robert’s selling his beautiful 1960 wagon. Learn more and see more pics at the Old Willys Forum (you will need to become a member to view the ad) and contact him through that site. He welcomes any and all questions. If it doesn’t sell, the vehicle will go to Bring a Trailer eventually and I’ll set the reserve at $23K which is slightly less than what I have in expenses in it. I’m open to reasonable offers, but I’m not desperate to sell it.
“Original drivetrain; 226 Super Hurricane that starts on first crank and purrs like a kitten, valves adjusted 4k ago w/ all new gaskets and nuts/studs. Pertronix converted original disty with Pertronix coil, new wires and plugs; “master craftsman ranch” rebuit Carter carb with 2 in line filters and check valve; new Walck’s 5 row US made radiator and shroud, brand new complete exhaust pipe and muffler; recently replaced water pump.
Between the race jeep, more planters for Ann, and getting our irrigation systems running, we are pretty busy, so I’m going to take a week off of eWillys. See ya next week.
Mike shared the news that there are several jeeps in this auction.

Bill shared this one.

“1951 Willys M-38 and M100 trailer. 8400 miles, I believe to be original. The jeep is in good condition, not perfect. It has a few dings and scratches. It has a clear title. The trailer does not have a title. It has been with the jeep for at least 30 plus years.it runs drives and stops. All lights work and black out lights too. The horn works as well. It has a miss when it warms but have narrowed it down to cap and or a coil. All 24 volt is still original to the jeep. It also comes with a top and all the hardware. I do have the doors as well. I do have the canvas for the trailer as well, it is not in great shape but can get good measurements.”
Bill spotted this M-38 with an f-head. It’s listed as a 1949, but these weren’t produced until 1950.

“Willys. Also known as M38. Only 27,000 made worldwide in 1949”
Bill shared this CJ-5 with some unusual sides on the back. It’s a project due to a thrown rod.

“Very clean and rust free frame and body on restored 1964 Kaiser Jeep CJ5. Recently threw a rod and original engine 3-speed manual needs rebuild or replacement. Have quote from local mechanic for engine rebuild of $8,000+/-. Beautiful head turner and weekend warrior vehicle. Always garage kept. Has Bluetooth-enabled Kenwood system. Will need to be towed or trailered.”
Bill shared this CJ-2A, serial number 83871 (just barely a ’47).There are only 23 hours left as of this posting. the current price is $500. Check out the engine compartment! Wow, just wow. Given what appears to be a gov data plate on the dash, this was likely modified which ever gov entity owned it. The bumper sure is an odd setup.

Roger Martin shared this link. This Golden Eagle isn’t for sale, but this low mileage CJ-5 would have been fun to find. The video is from this page: https://www.autoevolution.com/news/world-s-lowest-mileage-1979-jeep-golden-eagle-comes-out-of-the-barn-after-36-years-213508.html
Andy spotted this fire truck for sale. Note that this truck has been for sale for awhile, but it never appeared in any of my searches (which is a problem FB listings have). I looked through Derek’s archives, but could not find this model. I’d guess it’s best described as a brush fire truck.

“1951 Jeep Willys firetruck. 3 speed 4 cylinder all original repainted roughly a year ago. Runs and drives well for its age.”
