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 $4200.
This looks good, though the bumper is a bit wide.
“Red 1947 Willy’s Pick-up small block Chevy V-8 with Automatic Transmission. Fast and fun to drive, all new brakes, new high volume oil pump, flywheel, starter, alternator, water pump and timing chain and gears. 4,200 or best offer.”
This looks in pretty good shape. The seller lists it as a ’51 M-38. It has the hinged grilled, so is likely a “52 or “53.
“Vehicle runs good, hasn’t been started since last spring, new top, all new brake system. Needs 2 new batteries sold as is. Has maryland title”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This has a fiberglass body. It has a strange roll bar.
“I am selling my 1945 jeep willy’s. It’s a project jeep but it does run and drive. It has a fiberglass body that need a couple patches but nothing major. It has been lifted and has a GM v6 engine. If you are looking for a jeep to restore to stock this isnt for you. But if you want a fun project to go off roading this would be perfect. I hate to sell it but I just don’t have the time to mess with it. I really would like to sell it before the snow flies. $2500 obo.”
No pics provided. Could be a M-38A1 instead.

UPDATE: Was $6000. **SOLD**
“$6500 with winch, or $6000 without winch, would rather sell without winch. Up for sale is a 1947 Willys Civilian Jeep, with a later model F-head engine. Engine, transmission and transfer case were rebuilt about 1,200 miles ago, new cooper tires put on about 300 miles ago (some older pictures have the old tires) nice best-top brand top with doors, very good shape, runs great, shifts great, starts up every time with no problems, ask any questions you’d like, happy to answer. Has minimal surface rust, no holes or cancer, no major dents or cracks in body, fenders were strengthened at some point with some l-stock steel. Has a suspension lift to fit 31″ tires and bigger f-head engine, center seam under hood has been cut and a small portion of the firewall has been trimmed to accommodate, has holley carb. All gauges work, all electrical works. Has a newer heater. Has hand operated Beebe Bros 2 ton winch that works very well, haven’t seen many of them around, is currently off of the jeep. I love this jeep but I feel like it’s too nice for me to smash around rocks and trees in so I’d rather have something a lot rougher to mess with. Has full roll bar under top, locking ammo can storage compartment between seats, back seat will need some tlc, front seats in great shape with no tears or wear, windshield wipers run off of vaccuum, has tow hitch, comes with one brand new army green jerry can and holder which is mounted to tailgate. Includes one spare tire mounted on side. Electrical is a 6v system. Engine leaks a little oil, I assume some bolts need to be tightened after breaking in from the rebuild. Thanks for looking, e-mail with any questions and leave a number if you’d like to talk over the phone instead.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.

Joseph might look pretty young to own his first vehicle, but after a trip to Moab with his dad Pete, who runs the OWF, to attend the 2012 Willys Overland Rally Joseph caught a bad case of the Willys sickness. As his father knows to well, there is no cure for this dreaded disease. With Joseph’s fate sealed, he decided to buy a wagon with his own money that he could rebuild himself (with some help from dad).
The wagon needs plenty of work, so they located a good donor frame that’s already been modified and strengthened, saving them lots of time and work. They have collected some ’76 Wagoneer axles, XJ rear and YJ front springs to fit the already modified frame. They also have located a variety of additional parts to help round out Joseph’s project.
You can follow Joseph’s build here: http://oldwillysforum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=3549
Good luck Joseph! I’m sure you’ll learn a lot 🙂
Pete from the OldWillysForum took a break from life and headed to the hills of Stanley, Idaho, with his wagon and a GoPro Hero2 camera. I’m going to check into getting one of those cameras.
Here are two more videos:
Ok, it’s a stretch, in celebration of Thanksgiving I thought I’d post a few Turkey and jeep pics.
1. This CJ-3B was part of a 2008 parade in Turkey. You can see more vehicles here: http://www.military-vehicle-photos.com/picture/number9536.asp
2. Down at the Shonto Ranch in Kerrville, TX, you can shoot your own turkeys for Thanksgiving in a Zebra Jeep: http://www.shontohunting.com/content/zebra-jeep-camera-safari

This needs a starter. This appears to have the original bumper.
“Cute Willys Jeep (former owner said it was 1944). Runs great, but needs a starter. Turn heads and always draws attention. World War II with civilian hood and later windshield. Former owner made a tailgate, which was not with the jeep originally. Located in Oxford.”
