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 .
Looks fast.

It’s project. Maybe it’s on a 3B or CJ-5 chassis, hence the year?

“Must sell, will take first reasonable offer. 1957 Jeep fc 170 manual transmission 4×4 needs bed and/or full restoration. It’s an inline Chevrolet 6cyl. Runs, drives and brakes. Definitely a project though… I was going to build and put a flatbed on it. Just too many projects and want to move this one along. This is a project!”
This appears to have four doors, but I can’ tell how well extended this is.

I really didn’t find much of anything in this issue that interested me.

This has the early speedo, rear PTO, and a half cab, which appears to be a 1970s half-cab from Kelly, but I’m not a 100% sure on that.

“For sale is a running 1947 Willys Jeep. Manual transmission 4×4. Original motor. Odometer shows 16,349 miles.”
Rob’s selling his CJ-6 project.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/916475346911216
“This is a project truck. Motor turns freely by hand. Unknown deficiencies or prowess. Needs some assembly. Mostly complete, but lots of mysteries remain.
Hasn’t been started in at least 6 years.
Mostly complete. Many unknowns.
Rust through driver and passenger floors (has cut sheet metal panels to cover it). . Was last driven by a rancher in eastern Montana before he passed away. I have been doing stabilization work to slow the decay. When the rancher got sick the Jeep was parked and the tank rusted through and drained. I have purchased a new tank, but haven’t gotten the sending unit yet. Need new fuel lines and surely a carb clean.
The body appears in pretty good shape.

I’m unsure how much value is here.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/cto/d/olympia-willys-jeep/7771446706.html
“Jeep is in need of a restoration. Engine is not running. Vehicle has been stored inside for the last 60 years. Steel top with side and rear doors. Tow bar available but not attached to vehicle. Originally used as a tug to move a DC-3 into its hanger. Later used for forestry work.”
Bill shared this auction or a militarized CJ-2A. The body has some mods/repairs.
https://barnfinds.com/bf-auction-1948-willys-cj-2a/
“A previous owner wished to pay a fitting tribute to his uncle, choosing to convert this 1948 Willys CJ-2A into a military-style vehicle for parades and displays. It served nobly in that role and has done so intermittently since the current owner purchased it in 2016. However, all good things must end. The owner no longer has the time required to devote to this classic which has seen little recent use. Therefore, he has listed the Willys exclusively with us as a Barn Finds Auction.”
There’s some value here. That bed looks to be about 6′ x 9′, which I could potentially repurpose for the bed of the Tour jeep.

“Runs Great Needs Some Break parts Finished”
There’s a lot going on here. It appears to be an M-38A1 body that sits on a non M-38A1 frame. That may have a CJ-3B hood grafted onto an M-38A1 hood?

“1952 military willys jeep m38 a1, it’s been modified at one time we think it may have been a movie car by the way its done but its neat.

It’s fresh out of a barn, no rust or rot but it’s def been worked. $1900 obo.”
It’s a roller.

“954 JEEP CJ3B LL BODY —-HAS RUN WITHIN THE LAST 4 YEARS, BUT NEEDS A BREAK JOB AND SOME TLC. MOSTLY STOCK AS BEST AS I CAN TELL, HAS CHROME WHEELS WITH DECENT TIRES. ROLL BAR AND LOCKOUT HUBS. I WOULD SAY THE CONDITION IS GOOD CONSIDERING THE AGE COMBINATION WITH THE MECHANICAL WORK. PHOTOS KIND OF TELL THE STORY.
COMES WITH AN OFF ROAD STYLE JACK. MILEAGE IS UNKNOWN. VEHICLE IS STORED UNDER OPEN CAR PORT.
OWNER HAD LOVINGLY REPAIRED AND WORKED TO GET INTO FULL CONSISTENT RUNNING CONDITION, I KNOW I WAS OCCASIONALLY A NON-MECHANICAL HELPER. I PERSONALLY HAVE RIDEN WITH OWNER WHEN WE USED IT FOR HUNTING THE ROUGH BACK ROADS, SO I KNOW SHE HAS DEFINITELY RUN. JUST BEEN SITTING FOR A COUPLE YEARS WAITING FOR THE BREAK JOB TO BE FINISHED.
THERE ARE PARTS THAT COME WITH THE VEHICLE.
Vehicle has clear and clean title in hand.
HOWEVER AND UNFORTUNATELY THE OWNER PASSED FROM CANCER AND HIS WIDOW IS NOT A MECHANIC EITHER. I AM LISTING THIS FOR HER”
