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 on eBay
“Here is a classic piece of military history. This 62 Willy’s M38A1 will really turn heads.
Drive Train Works Good
Newer Military Tires
Overall Condition 8 out of 10
I bought it at an auction and drove it back to my shop. I have very little history with it
The only thing I can see that it needs is a headlight dimmer switch”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This has no title and needs work.
“elling this vehicle as parts. There is no title with this vehicle, I chose “salvage” because it was a required field. THE JEEP HAS NO TITLE. It was used for years off road as a plow and not registered or titled . Serial # 360409, 8/10/44. The engine is newer and from a civilian Jeep, the transmission and transfer case are original MB. The engine smokes and will need to be rebuilt if used. The engine ran long enough to determine that it will shift through the gears and not overheat. Steering is OK and the brakes are poor at best. Now for the good part: The body is almost rot free, floors, and tool box bottoms are solid. The body does have bondo and extra holes but overall an excellent candidate for restoration. The front frame horns have had a plow frame welded to them but are in amazing shape and can be brought back with carefull metal removal. 3 combat rims are included. Milage is listed as 99,999 but I have no idea of actual milage. Buyer is responsible for transportation, but we will assist with loading if needed.”
This has some big tires.
“Flat Head 4 Cyl.
90% Orginal

UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(08/15/2012) Here’s an unusual CJ-5. It appears to have been modified by the same people/person who created these other modified jeeps, an observation I’m basing on the top. Given the jeep is from Hesperia, there’s a very good change it is the same group. Note that the jeep was stored for more than three decades.
“Here’s my 1957 jeep, it was stored from around the late 70’s till 2010, still has the original california black plate, runs and drives great!!
paint, interior, and engine change where done around 1960, was owned and customized by a california car customizer in the fresno area
engine is a all stock 1960 283, has the original 4bbl carb, power pack heads, generator with power steering drive, runs perfect, very nicely installed, looks factory
We were hunting jeeps, as we do anytime we are traveling in the car, when I heard Ann shout, “That’s a camel . . . NO, that’ s horse . . . No, that’s a Camel.”
Those weren’t words I expected to hear as we drove into the small town of Waitsburg, Washington, just a short drive north from Walla Walla. But, sure enough, there amongst two cows was a Camel eating some feed. It’s just strange the things you can find when you start looking.
In the January 1950 Issue, Modern Mechanix took the Jeepster and Station Wagon for test drives. Below is page 1. You can see all the pages at the Modern Mechanix Blog. In summary, the review isn’t all that flattering.

This looks solid. The top isn’t attached, which is why it doesn’t look quite correct.
“UP FOR SALE IS A STRONG RUNNING 47 WILLYS IT HAS A LATE 1961 CORVETTE 283 WITH DOUBLE HUMP HEADS BLOCK CASTING # (3789935) AND 4 SPEED TRANS, 4 WHEEL DRIVE WORKS PERFECT.

“1953 CJ-3A Willy’s Jeep – Rare High Hood!!! 1966 289 Mustang motor. New leaf springs, wheel cylinders, brakes. All original except motor, runs great. Two year old top and doors, ready for hunting or play.”
It sure looks like there are some parts worth saving. This was taken in The Republic of Djibouti, Africa, and posted on Flickr. After some searching, I discovered these are probably Hotchkiss (see m201 website).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
It runs and drives.
“For SALE OR TRADE 1946 Willys Jeep cj-2a (CLEAN TITLE IN HAND) the price of $3500 is negotiable, as far as trades I will trade for a Kawasaki KLR 650 or similar endure type bike.
Has been converted to 12 volt. Engine has been replaced with the 134 F head. This is the engine that was used in the cj-3b’s among other vehicles, similar to the original flathead but the intake valves are in the head and the exhaust valves are in the block, providing slightly more power and reliability in comparison to the L head (flathead). This thing runs great, and has recently had these parts changed. (I have all of the receipts)
>starter
>fuel tank
>Distributor Rebuilt Kit (points, rotor, cap, condensor)
>fuel filter
>oil filter
>Ignition coil
>Spark plugs and wires
>The carb was just rebuilt by Thrasher Carb shop in Tulsa
all parts were purchased from kaiserwillys
This isn’t a show quality rig by any means, but this thing starts up right away, and idles and runs perfectly, the 4wd and transmission work perfectly also. Even the gauges work. Doesn’t leak all over the place, and would make a perfect hunting rig / work horse, or you could just use it for fun, this thing is a blast to drive”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
I’m just not sure how much value is here.
“1951 jeep cj3a”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1800. This looks like a good price and includes a winch. Note the customized windshield, too. The seller did correct the V-6 to a Flathead 6.
(08/03/2012) It looks like the rear axle has been updated, so that part of the running gear isn’t original. The driver side entrance has been chopped a bit.
“1944 willys it has a flat head 6 motor,running gear is all orgianal,it has a big ass winch on it that works, runs and drives but needs to be restored…call 855-6091”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
Some different paint might really help this cheap jeep.
“Price reduced, dont let a good deal like this pass you up. Make a reasonable offer.

(02/22/2012) Despite the odd tool storage the body looks pretty good.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(06/17/2012) This appears to still need work, though the seller doesn’t mention what needs to be done.
