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: Was on eBay.
The March 25, 1944, issue of Liberty Magazine has a woman driving a jeep.

Alpha Mav spotted this craiglist ad under the farm & garden section. Solid looking M-38.
“1951 Willys Military Model 38. This jeep is in excellent condition with no rust on the body. The transmission is tight-shifting and will not pop out of second gear. The five tires are in great condition and has a hard top and doors. A tow bar and bows for a soft top are included.”

Missing a few items. Has a military fender.
“For Sale:
1949 Willys Jeep. This Jeep is in good shape and runs. It has the four cylinder that came with the Willys models. It is a great project. It runs and drives, but could use a new starter and battery. This is a great start to a great restoration project.”
UPDATE: Was $800. **Status Unknown**
The price isn’t bad, but it includes a creepy passenger.
“Jeep willys 195? Good engine is stock but I give 1965 engine good condition. No title bill of sale”

“Boby/tub off full restoration. Complete brake system, electrical to 12 volts, drive train checked out, new tires. motor rebuilt. This vehicle is a truely solid piece of machinery and as original as I could keep it. It is the perfect hunting or up north jeep. ”

“Chevy 327, Edelbrock carburetor and manifold, mild cam, and headers. Motor block casting numbers (GM 3914678) indicate it came out of a ’68 Camaro. Drives, runs, and shifts like it should. It has a brand new fuel tank, soft lines, and fuel filters. The seats were recently reupholstered with new foam and black vinyl. It has 15×10 polished mag wheels wrapped with 325/60 BFG all terrains. Tires have about 40% tread left. The body has some minor rust and a few dents. The paint still holds a nice shine.
Over all it’s a nice Jeep to cruse the streets or take off road. Street legal, registered through 12/14 with pink slip in hand. Serious inquires only please. No Scams or BS either. Will consider a partial trade for a nice TRX or ATC 250R or Snap On (or similar quality) rolling tool box.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
This CJ-3A was recently painted with a bed liner. It used to look like this.
“I have a 49 willys with new paint raptor lining. It has a m151 water proof motor. New tires. Very fun. I’m asking 5000 $ firm ! I have a lot more in it. Let’s not wast no ones time thanks.”
The seller of this M-38A1 has a unique and special view of jeep history, hence the reason I have shared this ad. (As a precursor, there were a few CDN M-38s and M-38A1s built by Ford in Canada, but not that many — it is doubtful, but not impossible, that this was one.)
“This is an awesome vehicle that looks super cool and goes ANYWHERE! It is the true granddaddy of them all! M38A1 It is made by Ford Motor company as Willis could not keep up production during the war and Henry Ford cut a deal with our government to supply Jeeps to our troops utilizing the the Willis body design but with a more powerful engine, built in Canada (to not infringe on Willis patent…). The Willis had 60 hp while the Ford Jeep had a 75 hp Hurricane engine. The extra fifteen hp made a very big difference! This particular unit has over 2K custom welding (front bumper, roll bar, rear bumper and tail gate, reinforced floor boarding). It comes equipped with six ply Military tires (valued at $400 each= $1600). There are also custom accessories for the avid outdoorsman (remote controlled electric hoist rated at two thousand pounds, a remote controlled animal feeder, custom front carrier box and a custom tow bar). The accessories are a combined $1000 value. There are two adult jump seats in the cargo area to transport a combined four large adults. There is a gun rack and custom convertible top. Everything on this machine works! Extra large radiator. Military Jeep is rated three quarter ton (1500 lbs.) Have receipts for everything done over the last thirty years! Comes with extra parts and manuals. This thing not only looks good but “runs like a top”!!! These Jeeps were designated an International Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.”

UPDATE: Was $1600. **SOLD**
Looks in good condition. No description.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Listed at $2500, seller says he’ll take $2000. To title and some funky bumpers, but if the floors are solid this might be worth it.
“1963 CJ 5 Jeep. Runs and drives. Has working winch. Nice bumper guard. 4 wheel drive. Good tires. V6. Needs brakes. Top is removable. Gun rack in back window. Need it gone.

“Excellent condition, runs and shifts out great! New brakes, ignition box, cap, rotor, plugs and wires, Very straight body with only a tiny bit of rust. Clean inside, has some sort of late model seats installed before I got it. Very comfy and have been moved back for more leg room. I drive this jeep around here almost daily, and have driven it on a 4 hour round trip recently, with no issues. Everything works with the exception of the gas gauge. all lights, wipers, blower, speedo, even the dome light! drives as good as to be expected from a 40 year old jeep. Has a little slack in te steering, but very drivable. All glass is good, but windshield has a foggy “halo” around edges. Runs 55-60 with no problem. Has AMC 6cyl, and torque flite 727 trans. Asking $2500, but would trade for a decent 95 up S10 or 1998-2001 Nissan Frontier.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200.
This has likely been sitting since I was in high school. That’s a long time!
“Selling this for a friend… old original civilian jeep… hasn’t ran in a long time. Last tagged in ’82, has the original 4 cyl engine and trans. Only thing missing is the air breather and the rear drive shaft. Does have some typical rust in the floors and the rear bed area. But it’s all complete and ready for a restoration! We do have a title and are trying to locate it right now. If we can’t find it we’ll file for a lost title. $2200 obo. Email me for more info or questions.”
No pics and no description. May be a militarized CJ-2A.
No pics provided. Seller must sell.
“I have a teal blue 1947 Jeep Willies for sale. Must sell by Sunday Nov 9! Make an offer. Body looks good, has good engine, but needs a little bit of work to get running. Email me if you are interested and I’ll send some pics hopefully by tomorrow or Friday.”
The May 1955 issue of Willys News featured this article about a Colorado Jeep trip.
UPDATE: JW correctly pointed out there are TWO Prince of Wales Islands in the world (perhaps more??). The jeep shown below is located on the Australian Prince of Wales Island, which sites just south of Papau New Guinea (I erroneous thought it was in laska)
This old right-hand appearing jeep was found on the Prince of Wales Island in 2013 and published at Going Strait. Not much salvageable here.
Autoblog.com covered the story of a 1943 Willys MB being placed into an underground storage container.

While the seller believes this is the original hardtop, according to the bottom of this 3B page the hardtop below was specifically built for civilian jeeps. It should have a tag identifying it as an “Arctic Top” and the manufacturer as Metro Engineering and Manufacturing Co. of Detroit, Michigan. The jeep sure appears solid.
“It has an original hardtop on it. It has 4 combat wheels with new 600-16 military tires. It runs and drives good and stops good. Frame and body match and motor stamped gpw. The body isn’t terrible but has a few places that could be fixed. All in all it is a nice jeep. It has a clear Missouri title. If you have any questions please call.”
