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 $1300.

(11/04/2019) To me, this looks like a replacement body rather than a body that’s been restored.
“1953 Jeep CJ3B that has had all body work done and is ready for paint and finishing restoration. Body was taken off of frame and recently put back on after body work complete. Will run but needs a fuel pump and fuel line.”
This is a project with a rear PTO and gearbox.

“Barn find from Red River, NM. Has PTO. Extension for back. Soft doors, tailgate, extra seats. Came from the Prunty estate in Red River, NM. Locals said it ran when stored. Has key, no title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
(11/26/2019) It runs, but will need work.
“Pretty neat old CJ2a. 1947 was the first big year of mass production of the civilian jeep, and not a lot of the 45 and 46 CJ models exist anymore.
L-Head 4 cylinder runs like a sewing machine, good oil pressure and pretty quiet. New fuel pump and the carb was just cleaned and rebuilt. Exhaust is all there and holding together pretty well. Water pump gasket leaks a bit, and somewhere along the line the oil filter was removed.
The body/tub are in serviceable condition; the worst area is pictured on the dr side footwell. Floor is actually pretty solid (for its 72 years). The frame has been welded together and repaired many, many times during its life. And it still needs more work, I wouldn’t call it real road worthy right now.

Jordan shared this one. Could make someone a good project. Not many stainless bodies popping up for sale anymore.

On Thursday Dec 5th I fly to Richmond, Virginia. I’ll be there (Chester area) through Saturday the 14th doing some work on my cousin’s house. If anyone isn’t too far from there, I may have time to drop by and say hello. I won’t have Ann with me (I’m pretty sure she’s more popular with folks at this point than I), but I might bring my cousin with me (she’s a good substitute for Ann).
(And, reminder, my ewillys account isn’t working. Please send emails to d @ deilers.com)
Bob’s Sales & Service of Clare, Michigan, ran several different jeep ads between 1946 and 1948.
This ad was for a 1″-scale model jeep that measured 11″ when built. West-Craft also offered 1/2″-scale model jeeps for sale, too. I’ve got a few unbuilt 1940s models, but no West-Craft ones.

It’s a Navy photo of USMC and USAF men. That’s working together!

“1951 Press Photo Kaesong, Korea, Col. James Murray leaps from jeep at peace talk. This is an original press photo. Kaesong, Korea — Col. James C. Murray, USMC, hops out of his jeep to join Col. Andrew J. Kenney, USAF, (right) as the U.N. Command Liaison officers arrive at Kaesong recently to discuss resumption of military armistice talks with the Communists.Photo measures 7 x 8.5inches. Photo is dated 10-02-1951.”
The front frame rails have been patched and the grille is from a CJ-2A, so I can’t tell if this is an M-38 or an M-38 body on a CJ-2A chassis.

12 Volt conversion
Runs like a sewing machine”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $5500.
(08/24/2019) Scott’s got this M-170 for sale.
“1955 JEEP M170 This is a rare bird – rebuilt and in solid shape. As I understand this is a long body M38A1 army jeep and was originally outfitted as troop hauler, radio jeep, or ambulance/medical. May be the early inspiration for the CJ8 Scrambler. Engine rebuilt in 2012. I converted from 24 volt to 12 volt with new starter, alternater, wiring harness, fuse box, head and tail lights, etc. Also has rebuilt carburetor, new fuel pump, lines, fuel filter, steering wheel, horn, new set of tires, rebuilt emergency brake.
Comes with a big winch with remote, tow arms, and a box of random parts (can probably sell on eBay). Seats are new and all have lap belts. Runs, steers, brakes good. Ready for neighborhood drive with kids, grandkids. It does have cracked windshield, but easy to buy kit/replace. Its a rare one and priced to go – so no low ballers please. Clean title.”
It’s former Civil Air Patrol complete with number and logo.

“1951 Military Jeep M38 — I purchased this Jeep from the Civil Air Patrol back in 1983 — Painted blue by the Civil Air Patrol — Army Green is coming thru as the paint is peeling on the inside of the hood — I had it in storage for 36 years — Motor is out for a new clutch — I have purchased the clutch, pressure plate, & throw out bearing — open to a trade on GM SUV or Jeeps — GM pickups — Fishing Boat”
It’s a 3A based on the transmission cross member setup.

“1945 Willys Jeep. Perfect project Jeep. Make a reasonable offer. Serious inquires only.”
Listed as a 1953, the serial number indicates this was manufactured in late 1950. There is some rust in the hat channels and floor.
https://nh.craigslist.org/cto/d/andover-1953-willys-jeep-cj-3a/7029730428.html
“I am selling my used/rebuilt Willys Jeep CJ-3A. I purchased this out of Texas a year or so ago, registered and titled it, but never seem to have the time to use it. Too many projects, not enough time so it’s time to let it go (selling all my CJ items).
This is a very nice rebuilt CJ-3A, which was mechanically gone thru as well as new paint. It is not perfect and the original tub was re-used without any work done to it that I can tell (i.e. dents, holes, etc still there); previous owner liked the proverbial “patina” of it. Starts, runs, drives, and stops; I haven’t used it in over a year, so brought it out of storage.
The body doesn’t ‘t look too bad in the pics. The description is “Hurricane 4 cyl”, but it isn’t a Hurricane engine.
