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 .

Here’s the story on this crawler…… Jeep sat in a barn for a longgggg time. Restored and painted in early 90’s. Been garaged the entire time since. Approximately 3300 miles put on it in the last 19 years. We have had it for the last 8 years (dad had it the entire time before that) and have used it sparingly during that time with less than 1500 miles.
Many extras comes with it that I would rather discuss with a serious buyer over the phone or in person. Email for pictures and an appointment / phone call.”

I ran across this unusual rock and cactus garden. Note that it is a lefty CJ-2A. There seems to be some usable parts left on this old flattie.
A legend in the jeep world, Don Prine passed away this morning at the age of 97. Involved in jeeps since the age of the prototypes (he was one of the drivers who drove a jeep up the capital steps in early 1941), Don has lived and breathed jeeps — jeeping, racing, selling parts and servicing them through Prine Jeep — his entire life. I used to see him at races when I was a kid. In 2008 I spoke to him over the phone about stainless bodies; he couldn’t have been more helpful. He will be missed.
You can read about Christian Hazel’s visit with Don here:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s some good details about the rare DJ-6. Seller appears to be parting out similar specs that probably came from the same booklet.
It’s a 2001 toy, but has some good details.
“1941 WILLYS Army Jeep::MB-HASBRO 2001::NO – 02862 . Good Sharp but is missing Steering Wheel.”
http://flagstaff.craigslist.org/atq/4944137080.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a little confusing. Seller calls this a CJ-6A engine, but the tag reads CJ-3A. It’s a flathead, so the CJ-6A designation seems incorrect.
“For sale is a 1963 Hesse Hornet compressor made by the Hesse Carriage Co. It was designed to sit in the back of a pick-up or on it’s own small trailer. This particular Hesse uses a rare Jeep Kaiser 4cyl CJ-6A engine. It pumps air by having two of the 4 cylinders blocked off to compress while the other two function normally. The engine itself looks good and runs great. It may need a small tune-up from storage but nothing major. It does not come with a battery or gas tank. I tested it by rigging up a temporary tank.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This has a tool indent on the passenger side, a military tank, and no WILLYS stamps. Sure looks like a M-606. I didn’t know they installed V-6s in them? The jeep has a few other updates.

“1953 Willys Army Jeep M38A1 in very good condition. Jeep came out of Arizona and was owned by same person since the 70’s. I bought a year ago and gave full tune-up with new plugs, wire, points, condenser, distributor, etc. Runs awesome and starts every time. It has no rust at all and it is an old Jeep so it does have a couple of drips which is to be expected. This vehicle is ready to roll so you can buy and drive. Also has the heater option which is nice. Everything is working. The paint is nice, but this is not the $16,000-$20,000 Restoration that you see out there, but it is a very nice $12,000 Jeep and worth the money.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $45,000.
This deserves some nicer photos.
“I own a beautiful 1945 Willy’s jeep, everything custom from the king shocks, body, tires, lift, interior, to the monster 454 fuel injected engine. There is a huge amount of work and extras put into this jeep to mention. call for more info. 45,000 Obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
Looks solid.
“I have a 1948 CJ2A for sale. The tub and interior are in great condition. Has a strong running small block Ford V8. New exhaust including headers. New motor mounts from advanced adapters. Drives great but does need new drive lines because of repositioning of engine. Can be driven as is but doesn’t have front drive line so no four wheel drive. Will work perfect once drive lines are replaced (should only be a couple hundred for custom ones to be built do to being so short.) Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $14,999.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This “War Eagle” has an owner with some history.
“I purchased this 1942 GPW Ford Army Jeep at a military swap meet in 1995. The previous owner had rebuilt the engine and told me it was very low mileage. I stripped the entire body down to the chassis and had it sand blasted. I primed and repainted the entire Jeep myself with an original Army green color. I installed new brakes, brake shoes, master cylinder, all four wheel cylinders, and a new clutch plate and disc. The transmission was rebuilt, installed a new wiring harness, and had all the seats reupholstered. I had a new top made as well. I purchased new tires at the time but they are slightly worn now. It took me approximately 1 year to rebuild the entire Jeep.

This runs. It is listed as a 1946, but looks like a 1948 Lefty to me.
“Forsale 1946 cj2a . Runs an drives no brakes needs mastercylinder . Just dont have the time to restore it. Original color was blue. Has new gas tank an fuel pump . Runs strong no smoke”
UPDATE: Was $3500. **Status Unknown**
“Jeep has been in the barn for decades and it is time for it to have a new home. Previous owner removed the engine and was working on making it so the cab would tilt forward, note hinges in the picture from the front. Jeep is still without engine and we don’t have an engine for it.”
Seth spotted this DJ. It reminds me of the Safari-Kars, but I don’t think it is one.
“6 cyl, rare auto trans, good seats, chrome wheels, roll bar, good body, runs good.”
