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: **SOLD** Was $3300.

“Put a little mud on the tires in this Beautiful 1961 Willy’s CJ3B! This RARE “High Hood” was my winter restoration project four years ago. The restoration included body work, an engine tune up with new carburator, wheels, tires, reupholstered seats, and fresh “rescue green” paint! I also installed a CD player and rear speakers during the resto along with a new speedometer. This CJ3B runs and drives beautifully! The engine runs strong and the Transmission & Transfercase shift smoothly. I have the original wheels and they can be purchashed during pickup. The Buyer is responsible for ALL pickup or delivery charges”
Neat photo.
“You buying one black & white high quality 12” by 18” picture. This is copy of a professionally taken picture from that era. The picture will be shipped in a 13’ piece of PVC tubing to prevent damage.”

This poor jeep saw some action. It can be found on TWDCs’ History Page. TWA assisted the Kingdom of Saudi with management assistant for the newly formed Saudi Arabian Airlines.
“Collectible 1950’s Jeep/Willys 4 Paper Banner Double Sided Signs 17″ x 12″. I found these signs picking a long closed dealership. Great collectibles for the Jeep/Willys fans. The signs are in very good condition. There is some slight soiling, sun-fading, and very slight tears. The one sign (refer to photos) has the hanging slot torn away. No damage to inhibit displaying in a man cave, business, or garage. They will be shipped flat.”

Hugh forwarded these crated jeep photos.
Marc forwarded this Ex TWA ad.
“Rare 1956 Willys Jeep CJ3B. This jeep was originally purchased by Trans World Airlines for service at the Tulsa Municipal Airport. It was moved to the Tulsa International Airport in 1961 where it was in service until 1979. In 1979 the jeep was purchased through a private bid auction, and has been kept by the second owner since. This is a rare all original CJ3B, from the tall hood, to the tail gate, to the original 4 cylinder engine. Original engine is complete, needs rebuilt, and does not run. The drive train is all original, and is a factory 4 wheel drive. The body has some rust, and will need restoration. As seen in the pictures its still in the original paint, although faded, you can still read TWA on the side. The interior is nice, solid floor pans, original seats, and all original gauges. This is a true one of kind rare original CJ3B.”

You’ll have to pay cash for this. Apparently, this seller has had some problems getting payment.
“Here’s a nice ’49 Willys Woody 2 door wagon (Tin Woody).
Fits the whole family and looks cool doing it! All it needs is a surfboard!
Nice body with a new satin black and custom woodgrain paint job. The woodgrain is all freehand airbrushed painted! NOT VINYL!
I have another hood for it for those that don’t like the hood scoop (I don’t like it so I found another hood. Just needs to be painted to match).
350 Chevy engine has been rebuilt. Has a little over 1,000 miles on it and the 350TH tranny.
Runs and drives great. Frame is a shortened S10 so it has power steering and power dics brakes.
Interior side panels and headliner are all wood. The side panels still need to be stained but headliner is done. Interior could use a little more work, but is presentable.
Has a Pioneer stereo that’s hooked up, but still needs speakers.
New tinted glass.
New tires with older but clean Centerline wheel”

“This jeep has been in stored indoors for the better part of 30 years. It had a SBC 327 put in back in the 70s. I recently went thru it and replaced a good portion of parts. All new brakes, wheel cylinders and master cylinder with the drums machined. Had the fuel tank professionally cleaned and coated new fuel pickup, new fuel lines , pump and Holley carb. New seals and gaskets for the whole driveline. Regasketed the engine, new radiator, water pump and hoses. New tires and dodge ram wheels. It has the overdrive unit which allows for highway driving.”
The seller isn’t correct about the M-38 being the rarest production jeep. There were others.
“Willys M-38 combat Jeep..Rebuilt transmission,transfer case,and axles,new clutch, Engine rebuild by previous owner…….All new gauges…..Converted to 12 volt
Good tub and body except hole in passenger floor.
New seatbrackets and gas tank, OriginalSpare tire and gas can and brackets
Ive put 6,000 plus miles on it but it sat last three years. Carb is dirty but it will idle
Needs carb cleaned and new exhaust manifold and exhaust.
This is a Ordinance (Army) Jeep,Repainted by hand in Marine corp colors, The insignia on the front bumper is that of a marine glider squadron…..
The M-38 is the rarest of the production jeeps Having only made 30,000 total….specifically for Korea…….all other designs produced 200,000 +
The only proof of actual overseas service on a jeep is the paint job
When one unit transferred out…..the motor pool equipment stayed….
Then it was assigned to the next unit coming in…..
In this case Army left and marines took over thus the repaint. (563-571-6998)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
This needs work.
“1949 Willys Jeep. The jeep is solid and virtually rust free especially compared to other models of this year. the passenger seat is not shown in the pictures but I have it. You will need to hook up the front brakes, get a front drive shaft, and find a rear brake light cover. Other than that everything is strong and it cranks up and drives every time. This is not your everyday CJ or Wrangler Jeep. Make me a reasonable offer.
I have a hitch that can be hooked up to the front to be towed.”
UPDATE: Was priced at $6000. Status Unknown.
(07/18/2013) This was originally a park ranger jeep.
“I wish I didn’t have to sell this CJ-6, but I have to move from Oklahoma to Tennessee and I can’t take her with me. This is a frame-off restoration that is still in progress. This Jeep was originally a used as a Park Ranger Jeep at Mammoth Cave National Park. I am asking $6,000 OBO.

“This is a Jeep 1 ton truck. It is running and driving with a flatbed frame. I have too many projects and no time, so I must get rid of this one. My loss is your gain. 226 Super Hurricane inline 6 cyl, T-98 4 speed transmission, Dana 18 transfer case. There is no rust on this truck so it is ready for a restoration or modification as you see fit.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
The engine runs.
“1952 Willys CJ-3A “JEEP” This is a running and driving project. The body is rough. This is a good candidate for a restoration. The odometer shows 75188. I have no idea what the total mileage is. It starts up and runs great. The float in the carb hangs up once in a while, so the carb will need rebuild. The electrical system was converted to 12 volt. It has a brand new battery. The electrical system will need some minor work. I have restored several of these great old trucks. I just do not have the time to do this one. With a little work it could be on the road as a “RAT ROD” I have a Maryland transferable title for this truck.”
Thanks to Steve Elkins for filing this great report from the 2013 Willys America Open House last Saturday! You can see more pics at the oldwillysforum also.
The annual Willys America Open House was Saturday, July 13, 2013. Over one hundred Willys vehicles converged on the old lumber town of Cazadero nestled among the towering redwoods of the Russian River region of Sonoma County, California.
Once again, Paul Barry opened up his amazing restoration facility to Willys owners everywhere for his annual event. Willys enthusiast from all over the region, and some as far as the Eastern United States, came to the event. Well known names in the Willys World such as Harry & Jo Sheets from Indiana, and Bill Norris, who publishes the best calendars in the world, were there to enjoy a wide variety of Willys on display and to meet other enthusiasts.
Here are some folks caravanning north to the event. Just to their south the Golden Gate Bridge looms amongst a marine push.
Willys America houses the largest variety of unique Willys vehicles anywhere. There were personnel carriers, Mavericks, Sedan Deliveries, Jeepsters, Forward Control trucks, Jeeps built in Japan and the Philippines, military vehicles, ambulances, fire trucks, RR vehicles, just to name a few. There was even a 1943 Allis-Chalmers Snow Tractor powered by Willys (L4-134.)
Thermos is saluting the men who make jeeps, but what about the women?
