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: Thanks to Josh for alerting me that Sunday night Craigslist was hacked, which brought down the site. Therefore not many posts this morning.
This article from April 1956 highlights the time and money savings the jeep provided a ranch in Texas.
A M-38 carried sand bags to aid the fight against an April 1969 flood in Jackson, Minnesota.

Includes a total of five combat rims.
“FOR SALE: 1944 MB 307788 (frame #) with newly rebuilt engine MB 441194 (7-5-44) and what appears to be the original tub (#2109). This jeep comes with its own title.
$15,000 located in Summerville, SC.
I originally began this restoration in September of 2011. All of the major components (axles, transmission, transfer case, etc.) were opened, inspected and items repaired/replaced as needed. Installed reproduction MV Spares wire harness and utilizes the original 6-volt electrical system. The tub was taken down to bare metal with the rust-through areas replaced. By no means is this factory-style tub: I did not bother smoothing out the majority of the dents. The original bumper is not perfectly straight, either.
The MB engine was just recently rebuilt. The machine work was done in September 2014 and the engine was assembled in October. NO CRACKS were found in both the head and block. The pistons were bored out to .060. Number 4 cylinder was sleeved. The crankshaft mains were ground to .020 and the rods were .040. The machinist also removed the old valve guides and installed the new guides. The head was decked to ensure level.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(11/06/2014) Never been restored, but has been painted and some additional fixes.
“I have a one-of-a-kind 1946 Willys CJ-2A Jeep. It is probably the most original, most pampered Willys of this vintage you will find. It turns heads where ever it goes.
Originally bought by my grandfather’s best friend, it has been garaged in Northern California its entire life. It became my grandfather’s in 1960, my father’s in 1970, and mine in 2000. It has never been restored, since it never needed it. Re-Painted (off frame) in the 1970s, when the locking hubs and overdrive were added.
90,500 miles
Original PTO winch.
Removable back seat
Selectro locking hubs
Warn Overdrive
Updated Upholstery
Updated fabric top and doors.
Current California registration
I hate to see it go, but I’m finally realizing that it mainly just takes up room in my garage now, when it should be out on the road for all to enjoy!”
