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 .
While trolling for some M-38 information I discovered this build. The owner is slowly attempting to return this to original condition of some sort. As you can see, in the first pic below, an early step was to tone down the paint color.
Learn what the owner has been doing to this jeep.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
I’m not sure if this is still for sale or not. What caught my eye, was that strange item attached to the front of the bumper. Anyone know what that is?
“VIN number 66800”
I think this could make a very cool build.

Here’s a buyer for some parts from Lake View, South Dakota:
“Looking for a Good manifold set (intake and exhaust) to put on my Willys jeep CJ2A that I am rebuilding. Must be crack free and no broken parts. I will pay reasonable price and shipping. Please phone Rich at, 712 657 2042 from 8 am to 8.pm Thanks The engine is the “go Devil” 134 inline flathead,, NOT the overhead valve “F” head.”
This looks like a good restoration project. I wonder if it starts and drives?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This might make a good project.
“1950 Willys Wagon. 4×4 no engine or trans. Rust free AZ vehicle.”
Or, from our Israeli Bureau, spotted another Tender Truck for sale. I used Babelfish to translate the Hebrew, but it was only barely understandable. So, we can just check out the pics. Thanks Or!
You can see the original article here and here’s the main Tender page, though I will be creating a Tender section soon.
UPDATE: Mitch forwarded some pics he took. **SOLD** Was $6500.
“1963 Willys?Jeep snow cone/ latte van with full health dept set up. This is the longer version(not the mail version). Very, Very COOL!

Full 4 sinks, water etc. Engine runs like a sewing machine. I am a car collector and due to the economy I am selling my gems.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
It needs some wheels. There looks to be some value here. It’s an estate sale.
“Best offer for estate sale, Mileage: 31,572, 4 x 4, original 4 cylinder engine, Full hard top cap, original seats and high back seats, wheels, drums and brake hardware. All parts needed.”
No indication as to why the owner thinks this is a Navy CJ-3B.

Excellent condition? It looks ok, but I think calling it excellent is a stretch.
“Very Clean 1947 Willys Jeep. Runs Good, Excellent Condition Also Has Hard Top And Doors… Must See. Only Serious Inquire Please!!!!”
No indication as to which 5% is missing. It’s not clear to me if this runs or not, though it says “ready to go”.

(11/23/09) I’m not sure what year we’ve got here. It’s nice enough, and restored, though not to original.
“For Sale 1942 Jeep Willys Flat Fender. Completly Restored 4sp. 4×4. $15,000”
Gary has become a regular reader. His green CJ-5 is undergoing a makeover, with a body purchased off craigslist coupled with a rebuilt motor (134 F is in the machine shop), including a new engine kit and re-ground crank. You can see his starting jeep in the pic below. Gary is also working on a spare tire carrier for the back of his CJ-5 which he plans to share when it is finished. Thank for sharing!
Gary also provided pics of his friend Lawrence’s jeeps.
The first of Lawrence’s jeeps is a CJ-2A which he cut and converted to a two wheel drive truck. Lawrence is pictured here.
The next is a cj3B with a 2.8 chevrolet engine and a T14 transmission. (He calls it a John Deere Jeep).
Last is a M38 A1, with a few upgrades.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
NOTE: Check out the bottom pic. The pumpkin is centered and the wheels aren’t wide enough. Something isn’t right here.
“This is Jeep CJ-5 this is the first year it was made,”( it does not have a Motor, Tranny or a Title )” it would make a nice parts jeep or if someone wants to restore it, I am selling this for a friend,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** the listed price was $800. Purchased by an eWillys reader. Note the circles on the sides. Learn more about this jeep in the comments.
“1948 willy’s jeep complete . chev. nova motor . motor run but has been sitting for a long time . great oldie to fix up .”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This is a 1945 Jeep Willys MB (ID plate on the frame is: MB 435254), which means that this is a late-production MB with a date delivery around April 1945. The body has a few minor dents in the rear, the rest of the body is straight. Overall, it’s pretty solid. No rust, starts, runs and stops.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
With some new paint, this would look pretty good.
“Classic 1953 Willys Pickup. 4 wheel drive, 4 cyl. original 134F engine, winch, extra hood. Good running vehicle. $2000. Rare Find!! You don’t see too many of these around anymore”
I’ve lived in Seattle. I grew up near Seattle. That doesn’t look like the Seattle I remember ….
“Good running truck. Wipers work. Lights work. 1967 Buick 6 cylinder. Converted to 12 volt. 4-wheel drive works good. About $2,000 in recent work to brakes, cables suspension and engine. Classic license plate so annual license fees are $0.00 forever. Clear title and about 41,000 miles. Jim 206-285-9522 jimibird@comcast.net”

This should move snow nicely. Nothing fancy though.
“1958 Willys pickup with heavy duty snow plow. This truck starts easily and dependably even in sub-zero weather. We used this truck for years to keep a 1/4 mile section of private road plowed. We’ve since moved to a more civilized location where the county plows the road, so the truck has been used mainly during the summer to haul firewood and logs around the property. 226 cu. in. 6 cylinder engine, 3 speed transmission, 12 volt electrical system, full set of tire chains. This is not a show truck and has its fair share of rust and dings but it is reliable and very capable.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
“I am selling my 1953 M38-A1 Willys Jeep. It has a Buick Grand National V-6 with an Elderbrock intake and runs very good. I have the original tires and wheels that came with it and the original seats. The seats need reupohlstered and the engine could use a set of adjustable pushrods. The pushrods in it right now are a little noisy, but nothing major. I do not have a title ,but I was told that I can get one if I want. The four wheel drive works but it does need a gear replaced in the front axle. I have a spare front axle with power assist that goes with the Jeep. This will solve that problem. I drive it around my house and sometimes take it down the road. This would make a great play toy for a weekend warrior. There is no rust at all anywhere on the body.”l
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500. DJ-3A with 4WD upgrade.
(08/28/09) This looks like a great deal on a flattie.
“I have a 64 willys jeep with a buick v-6 in it runs great 4×4 it’s a lot of fun 1,500”
UPDATE: Was $1500.
(12/09/09) This might be a great price!
“For Sale-1946 CJ-2A for sale, An all original unmolested survivor for sale. Runs! Complete! Flat Head Four cylinder. 6V Plywood Hard top has been taken off. Minimal Rust. More Photos upon request.”
