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 $3600

Both are projects.
“I have two Willys Jeeps for sale. One is a 1948 Willys Jeep Carry All and the other is a 1950 Willys Overland Jeepster Carry All. I have the titles to both. The 48′ has the original flat head 4 cylinder, but no transmission. The motor has been completely rebuilt, but never fired. The 50′ has no motor, but does have a transmission. Restoration was started, but never finished on both. Bodies are solid, with very little surface rust. They both have been stored in a shed, on concrete for the past several years. I am asking $5000 OBO, which is the price for BOTH.”
Hanson Mechanical is looking for some more projects. Merlin and his crew were featured in a post here.

“1955 Willys 4×4 Wagon restoration in progress. It has the hurricane straight 6 w/3 spd trans. I purchased the vehicle 10 years ago from guy in Texas. I drove it for a year with a lot of comments about it being a neat truck. I decided to restore it to its original condition. I had the vehicle and the frame along with many components stripped at a cost of $2200. It was recommended it be painted with a zink chromate primer, hence the yellow color. I have all new door and window seals a 12 volt up grade harness, new front floor pans. I had a local shop recommended by the company that stripped the vehicle repair the fenders at a cost of $1000. I have all the glass but not in very good condition. I also found and bought the original front and rear bumpers , they need work. If you add up the numbers I have over $3500 and probably more ??? in restoration not including the cost of the vehicle. I no longer have the finances to finish the project. It’s ready for someone to finish putting it back together. I have 95 % of the parts to finish the restoration. It has been stored in doors since I’ve owned it. I have additional pictures of the vehicle prior to starting the restoration. $3500 takes it all, the vehicle is in northern Michigan. email rstrange81@yahoo.com”

“Great project. 1947 CJ-2A It is the first year of the civillian jeep. It has the F head 4 cylinder w/ low hrs. 3 spd. trans. Body is in fair shape some rust in tub below driver and passenger. This is definitely a project. Hasn’t run in many years. Was stored inside part of the time and covered outside the other. Transmission is out but all the parts plus a spare trans. and trasfer case are there. It doesn’t have a hard top or doors. With the exception of the F head it is all original. Would consider trading for a miller bobcat 225 or 250 portable welder”

“Restored 1951 M38 Willy’s Army Jeep – Ser. No. 24,675 MFG 9-51The M38 only had a two year production run, during which time only 62,329 were built (compared with the nearly 650 thousand MBs and GPWs build during WWII). Has several unique characteristics compared to the WWII jeep. First with 24 volt electrical system, first one piece windshield, first to have 7×16 tires instead of 6×16, last and best of flat fendered jeeps, last of the flat head 4 cylinder engines, first jeep with true fording capabilties(sealed sparkplugs and distributer) when equipped with a snorkel and tail pipe extension and of course the removable tailgate.
Though restored, this has been changed to a 12 volt system and does not have the sealed(water proof) plugs. So here is an M38 that not only looks good, but is road ready.”
UPDATE: Was available for $1750.
This has rust, but unclear where.
“1942 Willys MB Jeep. Good engine, transmission, transfer case and differentials. Engine holds 60 pounds of oil pressure. As you can see in the photos it has a later model CJ3A windshield and hood. This Jeep is 69 years old so it DOES have rust. Also has a new battery. ”
This looks solid.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep

Needs a bit of TLC to bring it back to solid running condition, but shouldn’t take much. Needs a fuel system run through, since it has been sitting for a year without regular use.
This is a great vehicle and should provide the new owner with many more great years of service or possible car show / parade candidate. Has an updated CJ3A windshield which is considerably more functional than the original 2A windshield.
Formerly used on regular basis on local Christmas Tree farm.

“1959 Willys Jeep Forward Control FC-170.
The truck has the original flathead 226 “Super Hurricane” straight 6 engine but it is stuck. I had planned to pull the head and work the pistons free but I have no time for it now.. Has the 3 speed T-90 transmission. Being a Jeep it is of course four wheel drive.
These are bit of a rare bird as only ~35000 of them were ever made. This one has a fair bit of rust typical of living in the rust belt.
It used to be a farm truck up in Michigan. There’s no bed on it. It was originally a stake bed I believe.
The drivers side window has a crack through it. All the other windows are fine but the front windshield is a bit fogged along the bottom.”
This has a mb/gpw body.

Very original, unique Oregon history, I have the original 1958 Oregon title, I am the second owner.
In good shape, does need some rust repair but not like most! Engine runs and it drives and stops. Brand new tires, white powder coat wheels with 2 spares (no tires on them). Two extra engines and another FC170 parts rig which is all there except the bed (was a flat bed).
