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 $6995.
This is a nice Panel Wagon.

Comes with spare tire and original gas cans. Fold down windshield. 3 spd w/ high/low. 4wd works great. Has been converted to 12 volt.We still have all parts to convert back to 6 volt if wanted.

I don’t want to deal with email because all of the scammers and no I do not need help selling this vehicle. If you need more pics let me know when I took these the sun was glaring pretty bad.

The seller notes a serial number of 122349 and a year of 1946. However, Neither the VIN nor the year corresponds to a M-38.
“This is a M38 Willys Jeep that has been TOTALLY restored from the ground up. Just about everything on this Jeep is brand new. New tires, body, seals, canvas, shackles, seats, rubber seals, hoses, brake lines, brakes, wheel cylinders, exhaust, bumpers, etc. The Jeep is practicaly brand new as if it just came off the assembly line in Toledo. Original parts were sandblasted to insure it would look like brand new. The Jeep as you can see has been used in many parades and has been on display in Jeep dealerships in OH, WV, PA, KY, IN, MI and more. The Jeep comes with the M100 trailer that has also been fully restored. Reason I am selling it is we have three more of these in our yard to restore plus we haven’t had much of a demand for the Jeep for parades and such this past year and instead of putting it in storage for the winter I decided to sell it. You can see the complete restore process by going to www.DisplayJeeps.com/M38 The title we have says 1946 but the Jeep is an M38 other than it has been converted to 12 volts. Starts everytime and runs like a champ.”

Just when I was wondering what kind of turkey-willys post I could create for today’s holiday, Roberto forwarded me the perfect illustration. So, today I am thankful for his artistry! Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The seller notes that there is also a hard top the winner can purchase for an additional $200.
“This is a dry Montana vehicle that was clearly kept out of the weather for most of its life, and the body is in remarkably good shape (we don’t salt our roads in Montana, so rust is not an issue as it is many other places). Many of the parts that make the CJV-35 unique are still on the Jeep, including dash plates, rear lift rings, front hooks, hood snorkel cutout, headlight rings, and the specially-notched gas tank. The jeep appears to have had one repaint in a civilian green, and US government markings can be seen poking out from below (see photos). It looks like it was in use as an US Interior Department vehicle after its time in the Marines, but no other history is known. The motor has been replaced with a good-runing 1960’s era Buick (?) V6, but the rest of the driveline appears stock. The jeep runs and drives well, has good civilian tire on it, and good seats (are these even original, perhaps in black vinyl for the underwater driving?). Brakes, steering, suspension, tranny, 4 wheel drive all work well.
Any interested parties are encouraged to look at the jeep in person and drive it. All questions via email will be answered promptly. We have attempted to take as many high-res photos as possible so that the condition of the jeep can be assessed. This is sold “AS-IS” and “WHERE-IS”, and absolutely no warantees are made concerning the vehicle or its condition, either expressed or implied.
Again: restoring a military jeep is a wonderful but time and money-consuming task. If you’re going to make the investment, WHY NOT RESTORE THE BEST AND RAREST? One thing’s for sure – you will be the only one in your club with a CJV-35. Thanks for bidding and good luck!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $5600.
“This 1948 Willys Overland pick-up is offered by the owner of the last 12 years. He had it re-painted upon purchase in 1999, and has used it for local driving and some parades over the years. He says it is all in good working order apart from a fuel gauge stuck on full, and included in the sale are his detailed records for work including valves and rings and electrical over the years, along with other service records from the previous owner back to 1987.”
Hog spotted this one. While not a real VEEP, this custom VW Jeep is unusual.

Howard wrote to me this morning, sharing the news that his father George passed away yesterday. In remembrance, Howard wanted to share an article from Stars and Stripes about the time his father jumped out of a jeep just before it was shelled. You can read the article below. He noted that his father always referred to the jeep as a peep, even the Wranglers!
Howard writes that his father George was “an advanced scout in A Troop, 94th Cavalry Reconnaissance Squadron (Mechanized) of the 14th Armored Division. They earned the official designation of “The Liberators” because they liberated about 200,000 allied POWs from German prison camps, as well as several concentration camps. It’s interesting reading if you ever have time to google it, as is their involvement in the Battle of Hatten-Rittershoffen.”
I asked him if they had jeeps while Howard was growing up. He wrote, “We never had Jeeps growing up, though he always mentioned them when we saw one. My 18-year-old son got a beat up 1989 YJ a couple of years ago, and even through his Alzheimer’s Disease my father would enjoy riding with no top or doors and would always mention driving across Germany in one. My son has developed a strong interest and is reading up on restoration, and has said he intends to always keep a project going on when he gets out of college. I guess that means he’ll always stay broke!”
So, this post is a tribute to George.
These don’t pop up very often.

This runs. This looks like a fantastic price! The body has probably been repaired some as the steps aren’t original.
“Reluctantly up for sale is my 1940’s jeep cj2a. This fun little truck comes with a hard top, two new front fenders, windshield frame, and extra rims and tires. The jeep still has the original 3 spd stick, and flathead four cyl. I have been running this for a few years now on family land and do not have it registered.
