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 .

This could be a DJ-3A.

(08/14/2010) Check out the hood. I believe that isn’t a custom creation. I have seen 3 different kind of louvered hoods over the years. 2 had the louvres on top and one on the side.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a slatgrille that could stand to be dropped down. The body and grille appear in good condition. This might be salvageable.
“42 Willy’s Jeep, All Origional except engine has ford 302 V8. 3 Speed tranny 2nd gear kicks out. Other than that… works fine 🙂 Call for any questions or to meet up and look at it.”
This looks like a great price.

“Don’t laugh. This is a great parts Jeep. Frame;vin plate/Maryland title in my name; both axles; 4 rims; windshield frame & wiper motors/mirror arm; rear hitch; side mounted gas can holder; transmission/transfer case/bellhousing with all shift levers; grille with headlight buckets and trim chrome rings; steering wheel with complete column; frt seat frames (feet need some minor work); rear driveshaft; shocks w/special washers; various body panels could be used as replacement parts; footman loops; and etc.
The body panel laying in the back does-not go with this Jeep. I figured up over $2000 in parts, if parted out. I’m just tired of moving it from place to place. Its time someone else enjoyed it or used it for parts. BE PREPARED TO TRAILER IT HOME!”
This appears pretty stock. I don’t know much about the electric Braden Winch.
“This M38 has quite a storied past. It is a great Jeep in excellent restorable condition. Other than two small spots behind the passenger seat, it’s rust free. Even the tool box is sound. The Jeep runs. It has a period correct Braden electric winch. The Jeep was delivered March/52, I don’t don’t know when the winch showed up, but it’s been there a while. This is a good sound Jeep, unusual for around here. It’s best to give me a call and lets talk about it. Mechanically it will need a complete going through, but the body work is going to be minimal since there’s no patch panels of any kind needed. Jeep is located in Columbus, MS I will not separate the winch from the Jeep. 85zero – 59six – 300four”

I’m not sure if this has any ‘jeep’ or ‘willys’ left in it, but it sure is unusual.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s an interesting build. I think the way they handled the grille lights and coloring works pretty well. The side door angles work well also I think.
“”RARE” 1942 FORD JEEP 327 CHEVY MOTOR, 3 SPEED “PANTHER” TRANS. EXCELLENT CONDITION VERY HAR TO FIND!”
I love the old school paint job.
“Up for auction is 1946 Willy’s CJ2A #64464. Many years in previous family and believed to be originally purchased in California. Barn storage or desert life much of vehicle’s existence and what little rust around steps came from outside storge last few years not far from southern California beach.
I purchased this 2A as a project to do with my son as I soon planned to start work on my original one owner California ’48 CJ2A(red one in couple of pictures) and was not far from my house. I believe it to have most of it’s original Harvest Tan paint in tact and to be 95% rust free. This 2a underwent a very well done 283 Chevy V8 engine swap in the 60’s that included 11″ brake upgrade and GM steering. The fire wall has been moved rearward 4″ with nice metalwork. Sold with bill of sale. Vehicle does not have windshield, seats or engine. Have seen some restored and complete rolling chassis on ebay as late so maybe a great restorable body can be of help to someone.”
There might be some good parts here. I’m pretty confident it isn’t a CJ-3B.
