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 .
Marc uncovered several great G503 Russian site links.
This link includes information on jeep (and seep) manuals in english and russian. Here are a couple shots from the Russian book from 1948:

There is a seller with a variety of 8×10 black and white photos of the FJ Fleetvan. Some auctions end soon. This seller also has photos of a three-wheeled delivery van made for the post office.
They are all original photographs purchased from the “HEAD PHOTOGRAPHER FOR TWIN COACH BUS COMPANY AND THE WILLYS JEEP FIRM IN TOLEDO OHIO ALL PHOTOGRAPHS WERE TAKEN BY HER WHILE WORKING FOR THESE COMPANIES”.

“1950 willys cj-3a flatfender jeep. Original 4 cyl hurricane motor, t-90 trans. Runs gd. Has extension on rear end and resembles cj-8. Dual gas tanks.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This appears solid.
“THE CONDITION IS CLOSE TO HOW THIS 47 WILLYS JEEP CJ-2 LOOKS IN THE PHOTO’S. IT IS FAR FROM A MUSEUM MODEL BUT IN A PARADE WITH SOME VETERANS RIDING IN IT, I GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE VERY PROUD AND PLEASED WITH OWNING IT. BY THE WAY, BE SURE TO PUT A COUPLE OF FLAGS ON IT. IT IS DECORATED TO SIMULATE A WORLD WAR 2 ARMY JEEP.
IT HAD A REBUILT ENGINE INSTALLED BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER, IT RUNS GREAT. DRIVES GREAT AND IS JUST FUN JEEP TO DRIVE AROUND AND ENJOY THE LOOKS YOU WILL GET.
IT HAS BEEN REDONE 3 TIMES AND I THINK WE DONE A GOOD JOB. THE TIRES ARE LIKE NEW, THE HELMET GOES WITH, EVERYTHING IN THE PHOTO’S GO WITH IT. WE LEFT THE TRAILER HITCH ON BECAUSE IT IS REALLY WELL MOUNTED AND MIGHT BE HANDY FOR THE NEW OWNERS.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900
This wagon looks good. I wish I could see more of that rack.

“1951 Willys Civilian Jeep – runs great, everything works except gas gauge, SC title in hand. This model came equipped with factory heater. I call this a Marine Corps Dress Blue Jeep, ready for parades, etc.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $26,500.
Dan spotted this wagon on Hemmings
“This is a rare 2 owner vehicle that may be one of the finest examples of this model Jeep available in the country. It has always been garaged. It has one repaint with a show quality finish of the original color on a low mileage rust free body; 27,000 original miles. All work has been documented in pictures and was done by a professional custom body shop. Interior has been redone to original specifications. Original ownership documentation is available. The original owner was a former governor of NH. My father, the second owner since 1985, maintained it for the original owner. The original drive train runs great. If you want an excellent vehicle that has a documented history, this is the one. You can be proud to own and show it.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
What’s that attached to the dash to the right of the gauge panel?
“1953 marine jeep runs great. great for off road or just a sunday drive . it is a hed turner.4,200 is what iam asking but well consider all offers”
Despite the custom fenders, there might be value here.
“1943 Willys Jeep with plow. Runs good. Great plow vehicle or restoration project.
Call Scott 603-801-7353, Cash only.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $650.
Joe spotted this jeep. I believe the price dropped from $1100 to $650, despite what the text says in the ad. Also, this might have an overdrive or the seller is confusing that with the transfercase. This could be a MB or GPW instead of a 1950 flattie.
“Complete but needs work. I was going to build it into a crawler but I found another that is a better fit for my growing family. I will sell it for $600 without the motor/trans/overdrive unit. If you want the motor/trans/overdrive I would take $1100. It has a chevy V8 and it has a warn overdrive unit. It dose not run. Previous owner said engine needs work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(06/16/2012) Looks like a nice little truck. The driver’s side window is plexiglass. It appears to need wipers.
“For sale- no trades is a 1961 Willys Jeep 4×4 or 4wd that runs. Appears to have all original running gear. Brakes work, engine runs, drives. It has a working pto Braden winch. I have a clean/clear Calif. title in my name at my address. No issues at all with title. I’ve done alot of work around it but it still needs more. It is on a current non op- tags and insurance prior to movement on hwy. I’m selling it because I have another older one to work on. I don’t need two of them.
Six cylinder Hurricane 226 L6, 3 speed with Hi’Low, winch. Single piece windshield, radiator holds water, heater works, all glass intact (drivers side is plexiglass), doors shut good, engine starts good, tranny works, pto winch works, flat bed. Lights work.
Basically a lot of things are going for it but it still needs more attention. I painted it so it will show well when the wife sees it but it will also require some body work after it gets road worthy.. Doesn’t cost you to look ‘cept for gas.”
UPDATE: Was $1800. **SOLD**
This runs and drives. The body doesn’t appear too bad.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A. Runs and drives. 4 cyl. 3 speed. Have extras not pictured. Asking 1800 o.b.o.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000

This is supposed to run, but the carb isn’t attached in the pics.

(04/11/2013) I believe this is a M-38 body on a CJ frame. The grille appears to be connected like a 2A would be rather than like a M-38.
“47′ CJ2A M38 Military”
UPDATE: Was $5800. **SOLD**
(04/02/2009) “EXCELLENT working condition; runs good with 548 miles on new motor; V6 225 Buick. New tires, aluminum wheels, locking hubs.

(02/20/2013) The clutch is slipping and needs replacement.
“I have a 48 willys jeep with 283 and 4 speed Muncie trans. Has a body lift also. Jeep is clean title and up to date registration in my name with pink. Jeep runs great other then the trans is out right now cause clutch was slipping and I have not had the time to replace if. Low bb on it is $4100 looking for $3000 for how it sits or I can get it all completed for $4000. I am also open to trades just let me know what you have. I could use metal lathes, surface grinder, mills, or hone machine but open to all offers equal the value. ”
Just a few updates tonight.
We were out for a short drive to downtown Pasco and back. Instead of taking our normal route, I returned home via some side roads. We were a couple miles from home when we spotted these two jeeps. Not often I see a M-677 parked in a driveway (unless I’m at Jesse’s house).
I ran across an article about “Sand Pounders”, a name given to the soldiers that patrolled the beaches off of the Gulf of Mexico. The article included these two jeep pictures.
