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 seems worth a look.

UPDATE: John has this rebuilt M-274 Mule for $17,000 (As nice of a Mule and as equipped as I’ve ever seen). If interested, comment below and I’ll send you his email address.
“I also have an M274 A5 with recoilless rifle mule for sale. Four wheel steering. Nice but no museum piece either. I’m asking $17,000.00 for the mule.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Might be worth a look.
This is an early CJ2A Willys Jeep with a column shift. Jeep was originally green with yellow wheels. Tub and frame have original matching vin tags. Trans and transfer case are original. I have another original column that goes with including new shift rods. Engine is free but has small crack in water jacket. I am including another early cj block that is in good shape. I wanted to restore this one as column shift jeeps were only made for a few months. Plans have changed so it is up for sale.”

“1950 Willis cj3a restored. Original Flathead 4-cylinder engine. Original rebuilt transmission and original rebuilt transfer case. Rhino lined on the inside of the tub and underneath. Windshield wiper. Great tires great machine.”
Not sure how much value is here, but there appears to be some.

(11/19/2019) To be a true restoration, this jeep will need more than paint to ‘completely’ restore it.

“2 Willys Jeeps. One 1966 (Estimate no title) and One 1963 with Title. The red one is in poor condition but runs and drives. No brakes but parking brake does work. Plow does work but it’s manual angle. The front leaf springs are both broken. The white Jeep has an engine but is locked up. It has oil in the engine and I did put ATF in the cylinders but that’s as far as I got. It is also missing the radiator and heater core along with the starter and generator. I guess someone stole them for scrap before I bought it. I bought this one from an auction. I found the last PA registration in the glove box. Body is in great shape compared to the red one. I was going to build one good Jeep from the 2. Will not sell Jeeps separate. The title to the red one has to be changed before it leaves the property. $2500.00
I have had a lot of emails about selling the Jeep separate or selling Parts off of the Jeeps. The Jeeps will not be sold separately. There will be no parts sold off of either Jeep. They either go together or they will stay here and hang out.”
“
Mike shared this episode one of season one introduction to the Ramar of the Jungle TV program. It opens with an MB overheating. At one point one of the guys removes the radiator cap (I kept wincing, waiting for water to explode out of it). At another point, the same guy starts to “work” on the brakes by banging on something (didn’t sound like the brakes) with a wrench.
This unusual photo (which for the purposes of this ebay sale is a metal sign), take on January 6, 1955, documents the existence of what appears to be a Two-Wheel-Drive Dispatcher model based on the M-38A1, designed for the Air Force. I never knew one (or more?) of these models were created.

Steve spotted these Willys parts for sale. Neither of us had seen the Willys-Overland tubes. The parts are located in Canada.

“A few parts in original boxes. 2 Inlet Valves and 1 Exhaust. 1 Bell crank and 2 hoses and 3 lug nuts. Sold as is. Item is located and will be shipped from Canada. Canada Post is very expensive and there is nothing I can do about that. Shipping quote is for North America. Foreign is extra. Buyer pays $12 shipping to US and $14 in Canada. Combine on shipping where possible.”
This appears to have a Gov data plate on the firewall, so perhaps it was a USCG jeep at one time?

It’s missing a few details, but looks solid based on the pics.

“All original 48 Willy, 32k original miles on it, garage kept all its life, won’t find one cleaner.”

(04/25/2019) Looks like the outside was painted, but not the interior.

(08/15/2018) “1948 Willy’s jeep , new tub , very good frame , 31inch tires and new rims , 4×4 , 4cylinder, runs well ”
Looks like a complete body kit (seller doesn’t mention the hood, but it is there in two pics, so it may be included).
https://columbus.craigslist.org/pts/d/kingsville-willys-mb-reproduction-steel/7081187679.html
“Brand new reproduction body. Bought new for a project and decided to go another direction with our build. Includes new tub, windshield frame, grille shell, two new front fenders, spare tire mount and rear bumperetts. Cost us 3500 a few years ago asking 3000 but will entertain reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
As the seller notes, it’s rough.
“Body tub off of a 1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This particular Jeep was a “lefty” which was only made for a short time. The spare tire is on the drivers side and the top bow holders are on the passenger side. However that is the only difference and this body will fit any year CJ2A. It is in rough shape but a good starting point if you don’t have one or if you are looking to customize one. Pictures reflect condition. Asking $400 obo. Would also consider trading for other early Jeep parts.”
Body has had some body work on the passenger side. Unclear how much value is here.
