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 $2500.
It needs a little work, but looks pretty solid. Instead of wood blocks on the hood, it has some unusual things attached to the hood (what do I call them?).

That’s a pretty rare top.
“Up for sale is a 1963 Willys Universal Jeep with only 20,595 miles. This is a 2 owner Jeep with a Hurricane 4 Cyl engine and famous 4 wheel drive. The drive train is in very good condition and a new Fuel Pump, Carburator, and master cyl. have been installed. The tires are like new.
This jeep was bought new by the Antioch, Ill volunteer fire department and was used to fight grass and brush fires for years. Please see the picture of a similarily equipped jeep in this add and a period advertisement for the unit. A member of the fire department purchased this jeep and has owned it for many years. It has been carefully housed in Florida for some time and was only used as transportation to the Fort Myers Beach. There are a couple of pictures showing some minor body rust spots.
This is your chance to own a classic Jeep in very good operating condition. With some minor body work, it will clearly make someone an excellent piece of automotive history.
The successful buyer is responsible for transportation expense from Fort Myers Fl. The seller will accept a cashier’s check or cash on or before delivery of the unit. A deposit of $1000 is required within 5 working days of the close of the auction. The balance will be due prior to transport and transfer of title. Also the seller reserve the right to close this sale or auction at his descretion because the Jeep is for sale locally. The owner does not express or imply any warranty coverage of this vehicle. The sale will be on an “as is” basis.”

A friend of Ted’s is an artist who creates clocks out of melted bottles. Ted asked him to make this unusual jeep clock. I’m sure Tom will make one for you if you are interested.
Tom writes, “For the most part the bottle bottom fold sup, if the bottom has an indent in the bottle, which is found on smaller bottles, it will melt straight down. The type used on Ted’s bottle basically comes out the same. The bottle can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. The vertical bottles have the neck wrapped so they can be hung. The clocks are battery operated. It takes 12 hours to melt one bottle and about 35% of them break while drilling the hole for the clock arms. The cost is generally $35 to $40 plus shipping and sales tax.”
Here is Tom’s bottle. Below that is an example of another clock.
UPDATE: This truck is now owned by Mike in Texas (this differs from the Mike who originally forwarded the information).
Mike forwarded these pictures of a Good Humor Ice Cream Truck in need of restoration.
Mike writes, “How about this for a unique Willys Jeep Vehicle: A Willys Jeep Good Humor Truck. There were a few of these running around NJ back in the 1960’s. A few years ago, I was able to track one down in PA. The owner was in the process of restoring it. As of last year, he had run out of time and money.”

“I have a 1948 CJ2a in need of some restoration efforts. It is a very original example with low original miles (approx 30,000. It has mostly sat unused and needs work to get it on the road again. Floors are extermely solid with no previous welding or repairs. The jeep is very stock with all original fittings present. It has the stock gauges, electrical, seat frames, fan shrouds carb etc etc even the battery cables and license plate holder are orignal. I have a clear 1952 oregon title. It has spark, and it will fire with some gas in the carb. The headlights and marker lights work. Its a very original example worthy of further restoration but I simply have too many projects to give it the attention it deserves. If you want to restore an original cj2a – this is a great start.
New parts (in the last week)
-brand new 6 volt battery
-new plugs, wires, condensor, cap
-new wheel cylinders (not installed) and brake hoses”
This has a fiberglass body. It runs and drives, but doesn’t stop.

Obviously this is overly price and isn’t as original as claimed, but it has full floaters on the rear. So, this might be a mix of parts.

However, he is not desperate to sell. A reasonable fair market offer will not be refused.

UPDATE: SOLD. Was on eBay.
“Note to bidders: Due to the nature of the vehicles that we sell on eBay (Rare, restored, unique, exotic, etc), many of our vehicles are purchased before the end of the auction. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OWNING THIS TRUCK, DO NOT WAIT…Email or call with your offer and we will work with you to get a deal done.
You are bidding on a very nicely restored 1952 Willys M38 Jeep. These trucks were specially prepared for military service in Korea and outfitted with many special features that set them apart from your regular Willys. And this one is even more special…read on…
The M38s have some cool features, check them out:
-Side mounted Shovel and Axe
-Accessible Battery Box on Cowl
-Dash Mounted Radio Connections
-Dual Fuel Tanks with Dash Mounted Switch
-Glovebox
-Headlight Guards
-Heavy Duty Frame and Suspension (Semi-Floating Dana 44 Rear Axle)
-Rear Auxiliary Gas Tank Mount
This Willys M38 no longer wears its military colors and it has been tastefully upgraded with the following:
-$1700 recently spent to sandblast and paint entire body (have receipt) NO RUST OR BONDO ON THIS TRUCK!
-Buick 235c.i. “Fireball” V-6 Motor Conversion
-Warn Overdrive – May have been original to the truck but this is not known for sure.
-Brand new top and doors from Bestop
This Willys retains much of its originality (even has 5 original steel wheels!) but has been modified with the paint, motor and top. This is a piece of history that can be driven every day.
There are lots of CJs and Jeeps out there for sale…why not own a rare one with a story to tell? Very few of these actually made it back from Korea and even fewer are in daily driver condition. This truck needs nothing but a new owner to put it on the road.
International Buyers: We have sold and shipped vehicles all over the world and have happy customers in Europe, Australia, Japan and the Middle East. Need a reference in your country or a shipping quote? Feel free to ask. We can assist with the transport to your home port as well as the required export/import paperwork.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $100.
This is a great price. I could have used these a couple years ago.
“Unmounted pair of Fiberglass Fenders for a flat fender Willy’s.
$100 for the pair. FIRM (I paid $100 each).
No I will not sell one. These will need to be prepped/sanded prior to paint just like any other fender would. They have a few scratches on them and a dirty, but great deal at $100.”
UPDATE: Was $1600. **SOLD**
This looks like a good price. It’s not quite as original as the seller suggests though.
