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 $1000
It runs and drives. Looks like a deal to me.
“Here we have I think is a military M38A1 ?? Data tags read 8 / 53 dont know much about it. Runs good, will need a
tune up. Has a 134 F head engine with a T 90 3 speed trans which will need rebuilt.. Body is not bad for its age . frame is solid…. $1000.00 OBF”

Also includes original fuel tank, though it leaks. Some new parts (not installed), including engine and transmission mounts, hand brake cable, clutch throwout bearing and carrier, and plugs and wires.”

It goes, but doesn’t stop so well.
“3 speed transmision, 4 wheel drive 1949 Willys Jeep. Good engine & drive tran runs and drives well, needs brakes, comes with a tow bar. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
It sounds like a really unique project, but it is still a project.
“You have to see this in person – photos don’t do it…Photos are as it came out of the paint shop…
You’re driving this down the street – it grabs the attention of EVERY single person it slips by…this is a customized 1948 Willys Overland open top roadster sitting on a custommade 2×3 mild steel box frame, built by a winning race car engineer to accommodate all the acroutrements of a donor car, a Nixxan 300ZX drive train, wiring harness, digital dash, accessories, and electronics.
I have nearly everything to complete this project (black interior fabrics, interior panels ready to cover, console, mirrors, power seats, etc etc etc). Low, and compact (only 13 feet long!) and light. Should do 150-160 mph (donor car was capable of that) and was designed to corner like an IROC Z car according to the chassis designer (rack and pinion steering, coilover shocks all around, 100% adjustable suspension, urethane bushings used throughout). Good looking 3.0 litre V-6, (looks like v-8) injected and turbocharged (225 hp, 195 ft lbs of torque – only 19,000 miles on the donor vehicle). Includes entire wiring harness, digital dash, factory stereo system with subwoofer amp and 12 speakers, most everything I can think of with the exception of driveshaft (I have the original with u-joints – just needs tube)
5 speed trans, power assist disc brakes and steering,ARE wheels, tongue and groove oak for rear bed, etc etc etc. Way too many features to list…this was a very high tech donor car).
This project is about 70-75% complete – the tough stuff is done, and everything that has been done thus far has been done right. The body is nearly flawless and has NO BONDO – all steel, and smooth as a baby’s butt over the entire car. New Corvette yellow…Nothing like it ANYWHERE ON EARTH…My 20 year effort is your gain.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This has seen some mods.

There are some interesting detail changes (lights front and back) in particular. There may be a little work yet based on the seller’s notes.
“1948 Willys, was sitting in a barn 1970-1996. I purchased it in 1998, frame-off restoration and body stripped, put on the road in 2003. Never missed a beat, very reliable, has never let me down in 8 years and 5000 miles. I am a Mechanical Engineer, been building and restoring US and German cars since 1978. I am not a pro, but I was working for a German company when I built this car, and I always imagined one of the German Engineers was sitting over my shoulder when I was building it, criticizing everything I was doing, so mechanically it is done to a high level.
DRIVETRAIN: Mid-80’s CORVETTE 350 with Corvette Aluminum heads. Engine is set 8” back into firewall, so crank pulley is centered over front axle centerline for best weight distribution. I believe the engine was re-honed at one time (pulled pan and had a look), so perhaps it is bored? Demon 650cfm Carb and Edelbrock intake, universal street rod headers ceramic coated with true dual exhaust with crossover. Aluminum waterpump. Aftermarket distributor. New valve lifters and timing chain. Turbo 350, rebuilt when truck was built. Lokar shifter. Griffin aluminum radiator, Ford Taurus Police electric fan (with low/high speed fan). Shaved firewall. Holley electric fuel pump mounted at tank, oil pressure safety switch on pump, plus large fuel filter. Runs good, although a bit sputtery until off the choke.
SUSPENSION: Heidt’s MUSTANG II FRONT end with tubular A-arms, vented rotors, large anti-roll bar (kit cost $2000). Rear end Ford 8.8” 3.23 posi with finned aluminum cover, vented disk brakes, adjustable coilovers with second set of shocks, T-bird anti-roll bar. Adjustable balance valve for front/rear brake bias. Functioning parking brake. Power Rack and pinion steering. Hydro Boost (not vacuum) power brakes make this wagon stop like a Porsche. Power Steering cooler. 16” American Racing wheels. Good front tires, older rear tires (245’s). Spare tire on Mustang 16″ alloy. Handles well, tracks straight, not so happy on very bumpy roads (low rider).
INTERIOR: Dash completely re-done. Pod in front of driver holds AutoMeter “Phantom” (white background) gages as follows: Tach, Speedo, Voltmeter, Oil Pressure, Vacuum, Fuel. Water Temp. Indicator lights for turn signal and high beams. GM tilt steering column. AM/FM cassette in overhead console. Center console with power window switches for side windows. Custom trans cover. Volkswagen Rabbit wiper motor (electric 2 speed). Heat insulation padding in firewall, trans cover, under seat platform. Dash lights flicker on/off occasionally. 2 front seats, no rear seats.
Windows behind doors, formerly 2 piece sliding windows, are now 1 piece power up-down, very slick. Small humps in rear floor for coilovers and differential clearance. Interior is semi-complete, but really needs to be gone over and re-done. Has 3-point seatbelts.
BODY: Had floor and rocker rust, all replaced with reproduction sheetmetal. Driver’s rear quarter panel and door lower replaced with reproduction panels. Hood shaved, headlight chrome trim removed and now mounted flush to grille, newer H4 halogen headlights. Front signals flush in grille. Custom front bumper, reinforced. All glass is new, and windshield is 2 piece flush mount. Doors shaved, with remote “poppers” for remote control, plus hidden release buttons. No chrome anywhere. Front fenders fully extended to blend into custom 2.5” rear wheel flares. Rear lights are Caddy, sunk into rear corners. Sunken license plate. Custom rear bumper. Upper tailgate (window) is custom modern look frameless tinted glass, on gas struts, hidden hinges. Color is 1992 Ford Gold with Volvo Brown trim. Paint job is so-so, cowl could use a re-spray and it has some overall wear.
Willys is sold AS-IS, no guarantees. I built it, I drove it 30 miles on August 26th, and I know it works well and is reliable, but it is not a Honda or a 2011 car so you may need to fix some things.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500

“1950 Willy Jeep CJ3A. Runs and drives awesome. Decent tires, 4wd works perfect. (Blows right throug 12+ inches of snow!) I have had the jeep for over a year. I bought it and put a new water pump on it. It has a rebuilt engine in it. Pulled the motor when we pulled the transmission to inspect. Transmission full service and seals. Still a flathead 4. It was sitting in a barn in Cedar Falls since 1982. Minimal rust in the floors where the wood brace got wet and ate out the support and floor. New master cylinder, Wheel cylinders and brake shoes.

More updates tomorrow morning ….
Gerald took pics of this old car they got a few years back. It has various jeeps parts attached. Gerald reports the frame was pristine, so they sold it to someone who could put it to better use.
