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 .
Jim pointed this out, suggesting it would make a nice little camping trailer. I agree. It could be very cool. …. After a little research I discovered I posted some of these last year. You can view that page here. Here’s some more information from Wikipedia on the K-38.
“

“1946 Willys CJ-2A. Original Engine And Transmission. Runs & Drives Great. NDT Tires and Original Wheels. $2000 Firm. (317)-432-3582”
http://indianapolis.craigslist.org/cto/1480459044.html
UPDATE: SOLD on eBay for $2500 just a few hours after it was listed. This was also listed at $2500 on Craigslist originally, but to my surprise didn’t sell.
This looks in great shape. It still looks like a pretty good price given the condition.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A, it has been garage kept in Santa Fe New Mexico for the last several years. The last time the Jeep was registered for the street was 1994. I would recommend a tune up and have the carburetor re-built or cleaned, fluids have been changed, engine oil and anti-freeze, the gas tank was drained and new fuel put in. The Jeep has been converted to a 12-volt system and still uses a generator. There is an electric wiper on the driver’s side and a manual wiper on the passenger’s side. It has locking hubs and they work fine. The engine is not the original, and does leak some oil, probably from sitting and not being run for the past few years. The transmission shifts fine and does not pop out of second gear at all; the transfer case also shifts with no problems. ….. As far as payment: If you have any questions please email or call me and ask, I will do my best to answer them or you.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Were $400.
“4-12″wide x 15″ Aluminum Wheels, 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. 4-31.50 x 15.50 x 15 Terra Tires with average of 50% life. Great for Sand, Snow, and Mud. Will separate tires but not wheels.”

(09/15/09) The bottom is CJ-2A and the top is mid 70s mail carrier.

“1942 Jeep Willys Project includes V6 Chevy fuel injection, body, frame, tranmission, transfer case, new Rancho springs. Will haul locally. $850.00 OBO, Call 360.692.5757”
A reader emailed these pics today. There’s a variety of creative ideas on a jeep that’s been thoroughly rebuilt. My personal favorite is the spring plate solution, seen on this first pic. I’m going to make me some of those spring plates this winter. Also note some of the storage solutions as well. Thanks for sharing pics of Red Dog!
“Just thought I’d ad my 3a to the many great ides on your site. Mine is a ’50 3a body and frame with a 225, t90, d18, D30 and D44. Everything is modified.”
UPDATE: Bob also snapped a picture at Phil Nelson’s Place in Columbiana. You can see it below.
I’ve never been there, but these are some great pics of the place from Gerald.
“A small display outside of Phil Nelson’s place in Columbiana Ohio. It is truely a treasure.”
Speaking of Bob, he has created a calendar he calls Broken Down Heroes. You can see some of his images here http://www.ewillys.com/?p=14615 and more here. You can get the calendar from a variety of sources, including Calendar.com.
The images span a range of vehicles likely trapped in their final resting place. Of course, there are a few jeeps sprinkled about his photographs.
It’s been modified some and beat up some as well.

It’s missing the lights upfront. It looks complete and original.
“1953 M38A1 4×4 jeep. Runs and drives. Rebuilt transmition and transfer case, 24 volt ignition system. This jeep is mostly original and would make a good restoration project as it has all original components in good shape with a solid frame and very restorable body.

This is non running, but loks in solid condition on the outside.
“Ive owned this Willys for 15 years. Its not been driven and in storage for the last 10 years. From South Dakota. Has some rust . but not like most of these you see. Not modified, Orig flat 6 motor. Complete, everythings there, Will need some work to get it back on the road due to long term storage, Motors not locked up, but brakes are from sitting. Most all of thses you run across are shot and not worth messing with.This is a complete . orig wagon. have more pics, Price is firm,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Yeah, it needs some work, but it’s got a nice, old look about it.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $500 — I love this one.
(08/30/09) What’s this chain drive? There’s no transfercase. I’ve not seen anything like it.
“1947 Willys Jeep. Fold down windshield frame (Has Willys Script) . Has a chain drive set up on transmission. Full time 4 wheel drive. 16″ Wheels. Has custom foolproof brake setup on transmission, instead of on the wheels. Has a rebuilt 1978 Ford 2.3L 4cylander. I dont think it has been fired since rebuild becuase it has no spark. I Believe it needs a new distributer. Has VW radiator with electric fan. Nice swivel bucket seats. Tub is solid. Everything has been reinforced. I bought this from an old master mechanic that did alot of work to it, and then it sat in his garage for many years, without ever being run. No paperwork. DOES NOT RUN! A GREAT PROJECT OR ALOT OF GOOD PARTS!! Needs to be finshed, i have too many other projects. It would be a great hunting rig when running. Better/ Stronger than a fourwheeler, and still small enough to fit on trails. $500 FIRM. No Tire Kickers. Call 882-1505 if intrested”
http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/1478722019.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3800 and is considered negotiable.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Why buy a gpw, mb or an m38 when your next restoration could be one of the rarest military jeep vehicles that exist. the m677 series jeep was ordered by the navy and marine corp in 1964. there were originally only about 300 ordered. there is now only about 30 or so that exist. of that 30 some are only rusty hulks found in fields by the people who have enough love for the jeep fc that they got out of their car took pictures and recorded the serial number. this auction represents a once in a life time chance to add this truly rare military to jeep your collection. i have seen on some military vehicle blogs that some people have been looking for 10 to 20 years for one of these. ok the truck.. first the body is rust free.”
Quinn sent me some pics and information about his very nice M-38 build. Thanks for sharing!
A Buick V-6 225 bored 30 over powers this 1950 M-38 and is fed by an Edelbrock 500 cfm carb. The drive train includes a T-90, Dana 18 and Warn Overdrive. The front (Dana 25 or 27) and rear Dana 44 are slowed down with 11″ x 2″ drums possibly from a Willys wagon or truck.

Here’s the back end of another Tender spotted by the sharp-eyed Israeli bureau. I don’t know anything specifically about this Truck. The image was posted on the Jalopy Journal (entry #39) along with some Jeep Rod pics.
The engine looks good.

This looks like a good price.
“1943 Willys Military Jeep. Flat head four motor, t-14 trany. Trany out but complete, extra transfer case. $1500.00 obo.”
This might be a good deal. It looks clean and straight.

After a false start it is now back on the market. Higher resolutions of these pictures available upon request. ”
