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 like a good price.

This looks like a good price given the condition and upgrades; However, are those windows that are painted in the back.

It looks shiny and sharp, but I think the seller would have been better off to paint this a more historic color.

“Must Sell! Price dropped. Very nice body. Parked for a few years with broken clutch linkage -otherwise all there. Was a driver when the linkage broke. ”
Just a few updates tonight (sat night)
I’m guessing this is a Fire Department (perhaps makeshift) out of Korea. I found this during an image search, but I could not locate the source. It looks like a Library of Congress type of image. If anyone knows of the source, please let me know so I can properly credit it.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1850.
This looks like a good price. It runs and a warn winch is included.
“Runs good. great for off road. needs windshield wipers and turn signals for highway. warn winch.”
John forwarded this restorable appearing GPW.
“1942 Ford WWll Military Jeep. Great restoration project!”
UPDATE: Dexter was correct … this sports a slat grille. He also provided some additional info and a pic.
The seller sent the following to Dexter: “This jeep was purchased from cousin in Idaho seven years ago. • It’s been sitting outside, covered, for the past year • The frame number is II3056 [Dexter comment: I see a dash before the 3, but the folks at G503 tell me it’s the 13,506th slattie made] • No glovebox type, with no data plates on the dash • Cousin, Bubba, removed the entire back (With the original WILLYS stamp!), and replaced it with sheet metal • It has body lift • Gas tank moved to the rear seat • He doesn’t want to get rid of it, but his wife has spoken. The block is cracked.”
“This is a 1942 willys jeep in fairly good condition…..the motor in it has a cracked block. it runs but bubbles in the radiator. I have the original flat head four cylinder motor that was smoking when removed probably bad rings. This jeep has been sitting for a while but DMV is current non-op. call anthony at 593-5074 if interested.”
http://fresno.craigslist.org/cto/1856041080.html
Dexter forwarded some pics from the seller (thanks!). This definitel sports a slat grille, along with a hood that could be original. However, the body is a replacement or off another civilian flattie.
“1941 JEEP WILLY GREAT CONDITION, RUNS EXCELLENT!!! CONTACT ME IF INTERESTED THANKS”

I located a couple good pics of MOMA’s 1952 M-38A1 which was donated by the DaimlerChrysler Corporation Fund. I would suggest calling ahead to make sure this is still on display if you want to see it. However, the M-38A1 is not the first jeep to be highlighted by MOMA. In September of 1951, the Museum of Modern Art in New York decided to exhibit iconic automobile design as pure elements of art & design. One of the eight vehicles chosen was the M-38, with the description as a “sharply rational vehicle”. You can read more about that at the Jalopy Journal.
This pic is from a snapper of of NYC images for the NYCPIX blog. There are some good, everyday sort of pics. If you’ve spent time in NY, you’ll enjoy this site.
This photo is also from a NYC image blog.
UPDATE: Brendan noted that this is indeed a LOC image. Here is a link to this image and others http://www.history.army.mil/photos/Holiday/wwii.htm.
I suspect it was just easier to stick the tree in the MA rather than his sleigh? It’s a great pic. I found this during an image search, but I could not locate the source. It looks like a Library of Congress type of image. If anyone knows of the source, please let me know so I can properly credit it.
UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
(07/02/2010) This looks nice. The seller suggests this is in show quality condition. If the restoration really is that nice, this might be a good price.
“1960 Willys 2WD Station Wagon, Stock, Rebuild Original 6 cylinder engine with overdrive and kick down. Very rare, in good driving condition, body in excellent shape, but rust in lower back of car. Excellent condition for show quality restoration. Includes binder with interesting advertisements and literature from 1960.”
This is a nice looking VEC for the price.

This runs. It looks like a good wind would blow the paint right off of this.
“This is a nice little Flat Fender CJ. Someone went through the running gear a few years ago and it was on the road. It runs good, just put a new battery and fuel pump in it. Brakes are good and I think it will pass inspection as is. The body need some patches. The Plow Hoist in the photo does not come with it.”
