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 .
On September 7, Bob Christy is hosting another Northern Ohio Flatfender day at his place in Green, Ohio. See all the info below:

“I have a 1947 Willys flat fender jeep for sale. Has the L134 flathead engine which runs good, vehicle does move and the brakes did work but don’t now. The frame is rough and the jeep will need a complete restoration or use for parts. I have a better frame that will go with it, plus some rolling axles. I bought the vehicle from New York and did not get a title. I have some paperwork from the seller including a old NY reg, bill of sale, and a vin tag but I don’t know if it will get a PA title. Looking to get $1500 OBO, or may trade for a utility ATV. I don’t want it to sit in the yard and rot out, can’t put it in the garage anymore.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

“Howdy Folks, Up for sale is two Willys Jeeps for parts, and a pallet of stuff. The red Willys is a 1947 CJ2A. It has a flat head 4. The other has a F head in it. Both don’t run. The pallet contains some covers for the gear shift, a few transmissions and transfer cases. Extra head (F head) wheels, brake parts, drums, ect.
The blue one’s frame is cut in the back and was made into some kind of doodle bug. It has a crazy super low range gear adaptor on it. I do not have registrations for either one. Just a bill of sale. The red one is fairly decent. It has a good frame and if you love it could be restored.
I am asking $1,800.00 for both including some spare parts. Both roll. Tires hold air. Both inside my barn. You can email or call me. Seven one six, five three seven, two three nine nine. PLEASE do not ask if I still have them, I will promptly remove the add once sold.”

Eric bought this DJ-3A in July of 2013. He describes the jeep he bought as a salad of jeep parts. He’s spent the last year transforming this rough jeep into a great looking parade and play jeep. Nice save!

Jim Allen, with some help from Bob Westerman, published an article in Four Wheeler about the MLW-2 vehicle.

Seller of a jeep would like to get it back.
“Approximately three years ago my girlfriends father sold his mid-fifties Jeep CJ to a gentleman from somewhere in the central to the north end of New Hampshire or southern Maine. It was sold in Wolfeboro, NH and towed away to where ever.
The seller was a man named Richard and he has since passed away. His daughter, my girlfriend and soon-to-be fiance’, has many great childhood memories connected to that vehicle and wishes to purchase it back. We are happy to offer a great profit to the seller if we can just locate him and get in contact. The physical and/or running condition of the Jeep is not important in any way – it just needs to be his Jeep.
It is as follows:
– a 1955 Jeep Willys (looks a bit more modern – like a CJ – not the square fenders)
– red faded paint
– in very stock condition
– snowplow mount on the front (or at least it had one….)
– half cab hardtop without doors
*** Looks very similar to the Jeep pictured in the photo attached to this post but the hard top is different (it ends right behind the doors).
VIN and Photos of the exact vehicle coming soon !!!!
Have you seen this Jeep in or around your town?
Do you have any information regarding its whereabouts? Possible reward for information leading to finding it.
We are ready to make a deal immediately if we can track it down – please help.”
This looks good.

“1951 Willys M38 VIN: NA manual transmission title : clean
The early production1951 M38 Military Jeep that is for sale has the original reconditioned body and drivetrain. The frame-off restoration is documented and NOS parts were used. This Jeep is not comprised of a pile of parts from other Jeeps. The sheet metal is beautiful, no repair panels or bondo/filler. Other details: 24 volt system, winter top, working wipers, scabbard, back seat, cuno filter, original data tags, and deep water fording. I never had the Jeep stenciled therefore it is a clean slate for the next owner. The meticulous restoration was completed 15 years ago therefore the patina is perfect. Clean PA title. The Jeep will be at the Bantam Jeep Heritage Festival in Butler Pa, June 12 -15. Serious Inquiries only, please.”
Looks like a nice combo.
“I have a body off restoration M38a1 Jeep and trailer parade ready.This is the Marine Corps version with full fording gear.The only thing not restored on this vehicle is the engines internals runs like a top but does burn oil.This vehicle will be on display at the MVPA nationals from June 25 till June 28 at the Kentucky Expo center.This Jeep is immaculate in every detail comes with many extra parts including etra engine block, heads,rear ends ,and transmission and transfer case.Biggest reason I am selling is due to the fact that this vehicle has a top speed of 45 to 50mph and around here you would be run over at that speed on highway.I can be contacted by phone or text also at 4one9six0two4zero33.Where i was from in Ohio there were enough 55mph roads to travel to many shows and parades but down here it has to be trailered for your own safety.Bulldog on hood not included.Might consider trade of equal value on Cobra Mustang 99-2004″

I don’t have any pictures at the moment as it is being stored at a friend’s house, but I can get them to you upon request. I’ve decided I need to let her go even though she’s my baby. The bills need to get paid.”
