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 .
Roberto alerted me to this. I was through there five years ago and didn’t see it. Anyone know anything about it?
Roberto spotted these two photos from a Pheasant hunting expedition in India in 1944 at Fotolibra.com. These appear to be GPWs.
This looks very nice.

This one made me laugh …. It’s only missing the bed and top … Really? It seems a bit bare to me.

(08/05/2011) “I have a 1953 Jeep Willys CJ3B. This vehicle has many new parts and could be a great cruiser. I am either going to part this vehicle out or sell it. I would obviously prefer to sell it. This jeep has a 305 sbc with a fresh rebuilt turbo 400 with a brand new Locar shifter. the jeep also has a Brand new painless wiring harness, front and rear oem style seats, Flaming river tilt steering column and other parts I am sure I am forgetting. Jeep also has a rebuilt amc 20 rear axel. The jeep has been floating around my family for the last 10 years or so. I am just getting tired of the project so it is time to go. I have a clear title. The jeep needs a little attention to drive it. First serious person will have big impact over whether I part or sell this jeep. Please put “1953 Willys” in the subject line of your email or it will be deleted immediately. Sorry to the real people out there, there are just too many scammers on CL any more. i also have a new oem grill and the original round headlight buckets.”

(03/19/2011) This looks like a real nice Mitsubishi, but the description had me scratching my head Now, I’m no expert on Mitsubishi jeeps, but I’m pretty sure there are some inaccuracies in the description. As a side note, here are a variety of Mitsubishi Jeep brochures that I found.
For example, ‘Diesel engine means long life, biofuel or runs on French fry oil’ — sure, a diesel ‘can’ run on vegetable oil, but it does require some non-trivial modifications.
Or ‘This is an Mitsubishi produced M38A1’ — this is not an exact version of the M-38a1 (not even close). Instead, this appears to be a J-54.
Or even ‘It has High/Low 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case. (3 levers)’ — unclear how it has a 3rd, separate lever for the transfercase when the first two levers represent the entirety of the transfer case. Below is the description:
“USED WILLYS JEEP CJ3B (High Hood) PRODUCED BY MITSUBISHI CORP JAPAN. This is an Mitsubishi produced M38A1 VIN # J54-16629
Mitsubishi bought the rights to produce the exact Military version M38A1 Jeeps back post WW II They continued production until 1990
There are identical other than some major improvements.
Differences are Mitsubishi installed there 2760cc 4 cylinder Diesel Engine & put in a 4 speed transmission.
It has High/Low 4×4 & 4×2 Tranny & Transfer case. (3 levers)
Has a posi-trac rear end.
Fuel economy is exceptional. (Approx. 25-30 MPG 2×2) (In 4×4 & extreme conditions less)
Pre-Heat standard , WE were starting it this winter during the ice & snow when it was 0’ outside & the windchills at 15 below.
24v system. Dual batteries
They are right hand drive. (Can be converted) Other than engine, tranny & related most other parts interchange. Tops & other accessories are available new today. We carry a full line of service & replacement parts in our inventory.
This Jeep is equipped with a 3″ lift, free flow exhaust, 32″ tires, aluminum mag wheels, bucket wrap around contour seats,
Chrome Bull Bar,. Bikini Top, Roll bar .
We have been completely thru this Jeep & found it to be in excellent mechanical condition. With No Rust.
The engine will out perform even a 6 cylinder & even V-8’s in most any terrain, …. “well other than flat out”
It has a throttle set for climbing the steepest grades with ease & no bouncing accelerator pedal.
Diesel engine means long life, biofuel or runs on French fry oil dependability & less braking desending the steepest of grades.
Willys required there Logo to be on all of them. Other than the Engine & Tranny you cannot tell them apart.
These will last past your Grandchildren.
They will simply out perform any Jeep you are currently familiar with Off-Road. I have had 24 of these over the years & everyone that got one of them just loves them you will to I am sure.
I sold most of them between $8000 & $10000.
I will take $6500 cash money or trade for something that I like or you think is worth more than 65. Please be real , no junk, & send pics. I like man toys, street rods, & would trade for a Rhino in nice condition.
Call or text 580-371-5355”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(07/13/2011) Plenty of lights on the back of this jeep.
“nice jeep new seats tires roll bar bikini top runs very good 4×4 works great good for hunting or all around fun”
Rudolf forwarded a rare six by six setup which looks pretty willys-ish to me. This is the second one he has discovered in Bali.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Rudolph spotted this Ford GP that is dated as a 1938 for some reason. 1941 would be the actual year. It includes a trailer.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“This is a parts jeep… It is pretty complete and is rough… The body has been skinned and they a really good job..This jeep has the 3 on the tree column shift trans with the L flat head engine which is all there… As said pretty complete just rough”
This has an unusual roof decor.

This one cracked me up. It’s not that it runs, but rather that it ‘will’ run.
