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 .
Barney Goodwin shared pics of this Koenig-branded knife he bought off of eBay. If you visit his shop in Ohio, you can see this plus other rare items in his shop’s display case.
Branden scored on this rare, early 1945 print of a Parts List for the Universal Four Wheel Drive booklet. The use of the “J” logo so prominently is unusual. You can view my discussion of the “J” logo’s short history here.
This December 20, 1954, Commercial and Jeep Sales Bulletin introduced the Auburn Jeep-A-Trench to the Willys Special Equipment Line. No brochure was included with this document (unless it was removed).
Listed as a CJ-2A, this appears to be a militarized CJ-3A. Auction ends today, March 3rd, in the afternoon (eastern time). I am not familiar with Skyline Auctioneers.

The engine smokes, but it has a PTO winch and an overdrive. The body is fiberglass.

“For sale is a 1965 Jeep CJ5. F head 134 4 cylinder. It has a very nice fiberglass body made by 4WD Hardware. Best one made. Comes with Warn overdrive and a Koenig PTO winch. Custom seats.

It looks like it was made from an M-38 body. It’s got a fiberglass front clip. 2WD only.

“For sale a 1955 Willys M170 Military Ambulance. This vehicle does not have a title. It has very minor rust through. It has several original pieces. The drive train is still the 24-volt electrical system. The engine is not stuck from sitting; however, it does have a stuck valve so will not run. The transmission and transfer case do shift. The tires are not so good. This is a project jeep. Not very many of these were manufactured. Rare jeep. Please look at the pictures closely. I will not reply to is it available. $6000”
It lacks an engine, but does have a title.

“Just putting feelers out there for my 1953 CJ3B. It’s in decent shape but needs work. The axles and running gear are in good shape. The frame is good. Has all its body panels. It needs an engine. Clean Ohio title and original Vin plate. It’s a great project but I need something that’s a little more family friendly. Shoot me a serious offer. Must go complete will not just sell the title and vin plate. Sold as is.”
No title. It’s a project or parts.

“1951 or 52 Willys M38 Jeep. Needs to be restored. It has all parts except the radiator and bumpers as far as I know. The engine is locked up from being stored for so long. I started the restore by taking it apart to get the frame dipped but, never got around to doing that. The frame is solid though. I do not have a title my dad bought this from his friend many years ago and he did have it titled but my dad never go it done. The pictures are of the jeep before I removed the tub from the frame. You will need a trailer to move this. The axels and wheels have also been removed from the frame. EDIT — I also have a canvas top for it but it is missing the plastic rear window”
