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 .

Ken spotted these truck items. They aren’t too far from him, so if you need a trained eye to check the parts out, I’ll connect you with him. Ken owned a 4×4 ship in Boise for years.

“Parts Jeep or make it roadworthy. It needs a total rebuild. It has sat out back for many years. Am guessing about the year. The numbers on the motor say it’s 1948. It’s a parts Jeep. There’s no title. I added pictures to show the frame needs work. But hay, it’s 71 years old”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/25/2019) There are a few odd things about this one. I wonder if it is sitting on a DJ-5 chassis?

The other day someone asked me about headlight bezels (or if you prefer, headlight ‘heads’) and how they changed through the years. I did not have a good answer to that reader’s question, so this working thread about bezels is the result. Along the way, I learned that some folks call these parts “heads”, but perhaps that is more military related?
1. 1945-1946 Early Painted Bezels on CJ-2As
Early CJ-2A bezels were painted, not chromed, until approximately #38687, according to the CJ-2A page. As far as my research indicates, only Walcks carries new, unpainted bezels. This is the flatter style of bezel without the tab.
2. 1946-1953 Later CJ-2As, CJ-3As and 1956-1959 DJ-3As
After roughly CJ-2A #38687 the bezels were chromed, but their shape was the same. They lasted through the end of the CJ-3A production run and into the early DJ-3A production run (1956-1959). These example images are from Kaiser Willys.
3. 1950-1952 M-38s, 1953-1971 M-38A1s, and M-170s:
I didn’t realize that M-38 and M-38A1 bezels were the same. It’s on the M-38a1 site that I encountered the alternative term “head” for the bezel. Peter Debella has NOS rings.
4. 1950 USMC CJ-V35 Blackout Lights ‘bezels’
Thanks to Mike Wixom for helping me out with these rare blackout lights.
This type of headlight bezel, or more correctly blackout ring (although not that effective), was used only on Marine Corps Radio Jeeps as far as I know. Specifically on the CJV35/U and possibly on the MZ-2 and MZ-3 Radio Jeeps from Late WW2. They were installed at the factory on all 1000 CJV35/U Jeeps built in May of 1950. These were eventually replaced by the actual blackout lights found on the M-38.
Because these aren’t readily available, someone posted this writeup on how to inexpensively recreate them:
Here is a different, larger version of a CJ-V35 bezel. Mike believes the ones shown below may have been fabricated and not original, but perhaps the owner can offer input on this.
This CJ-5 Tuxedo Park brochure sold on eBay recently. It’s dated January of 1964.
As I interpret it, the envelope and stamp are real, but the seller has added the pinup girl and Jeep-Truck illustrations. The seller has created a variety of similar “retro-like” envelopes, even creating signatures such as this Miracle On 34th envelope.

“Up for sale is a limited edition collector’s reprint envelope. The postage stamp is a genuine old USA postage stamp. Since genuine postage stamps were used the stamp may vary in design on your envelope.”

Converted to 4WD.
“This is a 1956 Willys Jeep with an in-line 4 cylinder. It has been converted into a hunting Jeep. I have replaced the carborator. Master cylinder, ignition switch, battery and oil. The Jeep runs great, the 4×4 works well. It has a shooting chair for the back and you can see it in the pictures.”

“Running 12v engine. No smoke, good idle and revs well. Oil pressure is 10# at rev, so the oil pressure is on the low side.

Includes Frame, fenders, grille, t90 transmission that spins free, transfer case (may not need rebuilt?), 2 axles. Original working starter and carter WO carb. Good radiator. Tires hold air…..The separate tub is sold extra. If you want to reduce price I can keep the transmission and transfer case.”
I’m sure someone with a Kelly CJ-5 Hardtop could use these doors.

“Pair of Willys Jeep early CJ5 hard top doors. Both have good glass but will need some cleaning up. Very rare”

Matt’s selling this complete plow setup.
“I have a complete Fisher Speedcast plow setup off of a 1969 CJ5 Jeep with a V6. It is a 4-way plow not just up and down. It should fit most CJ5s 1955-1970 and probably later ones as well with small modifications. It is complete with everything including pump, hoses, cable controls, plow frame/lift, and a 6’6” four way blade. The blade is in very good shape. It might need a couple new hoses but everything else is all there and ready to go. Asking $450 for everything. Call or text if interested. If the ad is still up it is still available.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,000.

“1942 GPW (Ford) Jeep. Family owned since 1970. Very good condition. New bikini top. Price is firm. Delivery possible up to 100 miles AFTER SALE.
This jeep runs and drives very well. It is about 85% original. Engine has been rebuilt and is NOT the original ford built engine. 12 Volt electrical with alternator. It has a tailgate which was on the Jeep when purchased in 1970 and updated with flush mount lights. That, the brush guard, and the bikini top are the only changes in the body. It has been well maintained and used regularly since it was purchased. A fun jeep to drive or a good start on a total restoration. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $19,200.
This jeep was on the cover of the Kaiser Willys catalog in 2016.
“This Is the Genuine article and a true world war two Jeep. This jeep was on the cover of the 2016 kaiser Willys Jeep parts magazine. This World War II jeep is a four-cylinder, three speed, four-wheel-drive, 6 V all-around fun driving machine. This piece of history starts right up and can run all day long. Call if you are truly interested in this jeep. Tire kickers need not bother. This was a military vehicle so there is no carefax report. So bring your trailer and take home a World War II legend…A Willy’s Jeep.”
Kaiser Willys used the jeep’s image in multiple places during 2016. Here’s one example:
