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 .

“I am selling an amazing jeep that has been a project for my dad and I for many years. It has never been kept outside and has only been driven on sunny days. The paint is top notch. The underbody and inside the jeep is sprayed with maroon bedliner to match the outside. All work has been done by a professional body shop/mechanic. This jeep has tons of power and is a blast to drive. You can not drive it without turning heads.
It has a Hurst Shifter, chevy engine, Muncy Transmission, Dick Cepek Tires and much more. We have put much more money into the jeep than we are asking. We both have just moved on to wanting the money for something different.
Here is a link of a video that was done on this jeep:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(10/20/2014) This looks ready for the road and trails.
“It has a small block 283/301 cu in engine with all high quality go fast parts in it. Has holly projection fuel injection system with correct intake manifold. Th 350 with shift kit mated to spicer 18 tc. Front and rear dana 44’s with 30 spline axles and detroit lockers and 4.27 gearing.auto meter guages almost new bfg mudterrains. The list goes on and on. The only way to appreciate this willys is to come look at it . No expense spared on the build.nice 6 point cage. etc etc. I want to trade for an everyday driver toyota extended cab 4×4 in excellent condition. No beaters as I have 3 toyota’s allready. I might consider other trades as well but no cars. Hit me up with offers accompanied by pictures of your trade. No dissapointments on this end. I have driven this on I-90 and over the pass quite a few times. It will do 100 mph if you wanted to do it but its a handfull at that kind of speed. Very dependable I would drive it cross country if I had to. Your trade needs to be the same way.
It has a perfect almost brand new bestop also that is on it now. You definately cant build this thing for myasking price. It has no odometer but I would guestimate that there are less than 5000. miles on the entire build more like 3000.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**

“1954 CJ3B Jeep. This jeep was in a barn for 15 years when the last owner got it.
Bill of Sale. NO PAYPAL MUST PICK UP PERSONALLY”
Listed as a ’46, it looks like a 3A.
“Titled as a 1946 but has a later Fhead engine, later windshield frame so who knows. Was bought as part of a package deal in order to get a CJ3B. The engine sounds pretty good, the gas is really old so smokes a little, newer exhaust, new plugs, wires, filters, oil change etc. Has no rust, has good brakes, has a Saginaw steering box, runs and drives well but needs some “tinkering” Would be a good hunting Jeep. restore or leave as is… cash is king…;”
http://westslope.craigslist.org/cto/4727114005.html
Has some mods.
“This is (as registered) a 1951 Jeep Willys CJ-2a 4×4. It has a buick V6, 3spd tran, dana 25 and dana 27 running gear. I put a new wiring harness, gauges, LED brake and turn lights, new seat coverings and a por-15 paint job. Included is the tire carrier, spare tire, two gas cans, all spare parts and paint and the rifle rack in the middle. This jeep was used for hunting and is extremely reliable but it also looks good to drive into town. It is currently registered (Nov 2015). You can either drive it home (45-50 mph and a 5 gallon gas tank) or tow it home behind your tow vehicle.
I have seen the other Willys for sale on Craigslist and know that the $3600 for a fully running, registered and reliable Willys is priced to sell. Cash only, no shipping, no trades.”

(10/17/2014) This has military fenders and a military looking body (including indents and glovebox), but a CJ-3B cowl and hood.
“I am posting this for my friend ( yes you will be able to talk to him and title is in his name), it runs and we think it is the original motor, pretty basic jeep to restore or make into a hunting /off road rig. Been sitting in his yard so will need new rubber hoses/ tires but NO pack rat damage. Serious inquiries only.”

“”BARN FIND” 1950? 1951? or 1952? US ARMY M38 Willys, this M38 can be restored and/or updated for trail use. Was not able to locate any data plates and/or serial number. The original engine was removed and replaced with a Ford straight six and as a result a portion of the fire wall was removed. Has original tub, fenders, tail gate, transfer case, axles, frame, transmission, and hood.
Gauges do not work, wiring in poor condition. Driver side floor requires patch and repair, right side floor and cargo floors in fair condition.
The jeep does start and can be driven but, will require time and effort to make it roadworthy. If you are looking for a M38 Jeep for parts or restore, this might be just for you. The M38 has the strongest flat fender frame, T90 transmission, and Dana 44 rear axle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
This project is listed as a 1942, but any parts aren’t military.
“selling my 42 gpw.still has many script f parts.i bought this 10 years ago with plans of making it run one day, made some progress but needs an owner with more time to give than i have. has a .030 over 350 engine thats never been fired. a t150 from a 79 cj5, spicer 18 transfer case(big hole) not sure what year, original dana 27 front axle, a 1949 dana 44 with track lock, 4.88 gears. the title says its 1945 and a goofy aluminum tag is attached to the fire wall that matches title. however the real vin # gpw——- stamped on the frame tells me it was born in 1942. i have no record where it served during the war. call or text for more info.”
Note the rear wheels. One is a NDT and the other is a terra tire, lol.

This 3B looks ready for the hills.
“Willy CJ3B Vin 454GB236847 Asking price $17,000.00
Engine original 4cycle “F” head
The ultimate 1950’s adventure package with all the vintage aftermarket additions; Sears aluminum cab, Braden power take-off winch with half inch cable, Warren hubs, 2nd gas tank under the passengers seat, and block heater. Includes a Bantam Trailer Corp. munitions type trailer, originally designed with the same wheels and rims to pair with the CJ. This trailer has a fabricated aluminum covered top. There are a total of 8 original rims with vintage bias-ply tube tires in great condition. Other additions include removable rear seat, handy man jack, CB radio set (with 12 to 6 volt converter), spotlight, conventional AM radio, vintage metal ice chest, and 7 vintage metal jerry cans. The vehicle spent more than fifty of it’s years living in the comfort of a garage. The upholstery is in great shape but the foam liner on the inside of cab has deteriorated.
The engine was rebuilt in 1963 by a precision motor shop in Denver where it had the crankshaft plated in hard chrome, all the moving parts were matched and balanced. In 1979 both the front and rear axles were fitted with positraction differentials. The original spider gear parts are still in good shape and included with jeep. A full set of chains is also included. The performance of The Little Red Jeep with positraction and chains in difficult situations is very impressive.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(01/28/2014) It looks like this CJ-2A has a WWII body of some type.
“Willy’s Army Jeep. Runs great. Good condition … new tires and top. Towing bar.”
There are multiple ads across the country for a 1953 M-38A1 for only $3000. This too-good-to-be-true offer is made using a gmail address that is also selling other vehicles across the country. It looks like a scammer to me.
Here’s the ad:
“Army Jeep Very good body, converted to 12 v new reduction starter, c00ntact: monicamiller107@gmail.com”

At the time of this photo the American Mosquito Control Association owned more than 3000 jeeps, making it one of the biggest jeep customers.
Tim visited the WWII National Memorial in Washington, DC, recently and discovered it included a relief sculpture of a jeep.
