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 $8000.
(11/28/2019) Runs. Seller has an additional rolling chassis (sounds like it is not included in the price though).
“Engine runs, needs transmission work (has replacement just install) Has several additional parts as well as additional rolling chassis available. And new windshield. Will need to be picked up or shipped.”
The last issue of Willys News I posted was from the summer of 1956. I don’t have any others for 1956. I also don’t have the January 1957 issue, but I do have some eBay pics (from 2013). It looks like a good one (see post below this one).
UPDATE: This was on eBay.
Some good DJ-3A & FC-150 photos and some rare early swamp racing photos.
“Original salesman’s non color catalog , 11 x 17 , 8 pages , includes salesman’s messages , salesman’s contests , shows some models , etc.”
Maury shared this odd part. It seems for a jeep, but neither of us recognize it. It is 2″ in diameter. I would guess the tabs on the back secure it to something?

“Wife or Girlfriend tell you your jeep addiction is getting out of control? Dont worry I found you a loophole. When she sees you bring this DJ-5 home she cant say you bought another jeep because gess what… Its an AM General not a jeep. Now your wheels are turning I bet. She will only be pissed for a little as your loophole technically works because she said no more jeeps.
Now for the good stuff. This baby here is a 1983 DJ-5 mail jeep. Shes got one seat already so when you piss the ole lady off dont worry your covered as she can never ride with you. This DJ-5 looks as good as it drives. Purs like a kitten and will get looks all over the place.
So the truth It is a 1983 DJ-5 Manual windows, steering and brakes All lights wipers and powered accessories work as well Has 4 cylinder, automatic 2 wheel drive with AMC 20 rear end.”
Listed as a 1949, it has the early grille. It may have been a column shift as well.

“Has original engine and drivetrain. 4 cylinder flathead engine 3 speed manual transmission, two speed high- low transmission with 4 wheel drive . Jacked up and put on jackstands and checked 4 wheel drive and it works. Frame looks solid with no new welds. The front half of body is real good shape the rear half has bondo. Engine has a little blowby but does not smoke, has 12 volt alternator that does not work, engine has good oil pressure. I do not have the original seats. Clear title in hand that matches the vin on the jeep. Comes with 4 military wheels and tires, the tires are weatherchecked, new exhaust and very good original gas tank. Runs and drives, drove it 1/2 mile last week. Needs brakes. If interested Cash only, not interested in making trades.”
It’s a project.

“Ive owned this for a long time and Ive always planned on restoring it but I have too many projects. It’s very solid with all the parts plus a lot of extras I have collected. Yes I have the Title! The only trades I will consider are for something thats obviously worth more and easier to sell”
Sounds like it needs work of some kind.

“Known as a rare “early” model, this particular civilian Jeep has the military tool indents on the driver’s side as Willys was making a running change from the military model to the civilian model. Later in that year those tool indents were deleted. Many new parts, too many too list. Jeep was kept mostly stock. This vehicle is a real head-turner and you will get smiles everywhere you go.”
This jeep was up for sale earlier this year. Somehow, I missed this David Tracy story about it on Jalopnik.

It’s rare to find these without a jeep. It looks in pretty good shape. It doesn’t seem to have the PTO parts included?

“Willys trencher unit. In good shape”

“Southern Jeep, Originally from Texas, restored in Arkansas, lived in Atlanta GA for 2 years. Has been in Michigan since April. Jeep has not seen dirt since in Michigan. Original restored driveline. Front/rear PTO. New tiger top, runs excellent. Could use a steering gear box. Perfect for ice cream trips. Car shows. Or cruising”
This appears to have a replacement body (no cowl battery box lid). The grille and frame also don’t appear setup for an M-38 grille. The hood looks M-38.
“1953 Jeep Willys M38 with L-134 motor. This truck came from Vegas and the party I bought it from got it from Arizona where it was restored in the 90’s. This Jeep is completely rust free and absolutely solid. The inner tub was rhino lined and the frame was painted. The Jeep runs great and idles great. I rebuilt the king pin bearings, steering knuckles, drag link and bell crank so it drives straight with no death wobble.
I also rebuilt the steering box and got a new NOS sector shaft for the larger Ross box that are extremely hard to find. New gas tank and fuel pump New battery Rebuilt drag link, bell crank, king pin bearings, steering knuckles New front brakes and wheel bearings Rebuilt steering box with new sector shaft Rear gas tank rack and 2 tanks The truck has a custom built roll cage with KC lights. 12 volt conversion, electronic ignition, rebuilt alternator, functional winch, tow bar and tachometer.
