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 has a replacement body.

“Doing brake job this week. Runs good. Will deliver to S A for $150.00. Have Title.”
The painting is noted and signed by Rex. As you can see here, other originals by Rex Brandt aren’ t quite priced so high on eBay, but most don’t have notes on them.

“Are you looking for a great project? This is the vehicle for you! 1963 Willys Jeep for sale $1000.00 or best offer. Cash only sale!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
This looks to be a good price. There are similar Bobcat-style wide-lipped versions of this body, but the steps were different. So, I’m not sure who the manufacturer of this body was.
“Fiber glass body including front fenders and hood. I know it fits a 1947 Willie’s Jeep but in May fit others.”
Something I’ve never seen: A full-size tool box housed inside the engine compartment. Is the battery inside it?? It’s got a fiberglass body.
“This is worth any Jeep fans consideration. ‘52 Willys Jeep M38, Built March, 1952. This would make a great father-son project.
This Jeep served its late owner very well, taking him well south of Panama and back around 1980. There are several very nice features, including factory optional heater. Roll bar, soft top frame, doors, fiberglass; hood, locking front hubs, and un-installed fiberglass
front fenders. Very nicely done, a very long time ago, there was a ‘60’s GM Iron Duke, 2.5 L 53 CID L4 engine, complete with the alternator and wiring harness, retro-fitted into this appreciating classic. The engine needs at least a rebuild. Brakes and suspension will need servicing. Nice aftermarket turn signal/hazard switch, 7 gauge instrument panel, alloy wheels, good tread on old tires. Stored partially covered for last 35 years. Very little rust, besides the front fenders. I have a current Oklahoma Title and tag in hand.
Priced to sell quickly. $1295 FIRM. $1500 if you want to negotiate”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
Has a custom half cab. It’s not road worthy.
“1955 Willys Jeep CJ3-B for parts. 4 wheel drive. Has custom enclosed cab with removable doors, Open rear cargo bed. Lock-out Hubs. Electric Fuel Pump. Brakes are Good. New Battery. Original 4 cyl motor Runs but starter sticks. NO TITLE. Vehicle is not road worthy.

Looks like a good price. Seller has a Ramsey PTO and CJ-5 cage (won’t fit flat fenders) for sale, too.

Maury shared this rare Capstan winch for sale. Note that the original lever to the side of the capstan winch has been moved and improvised. The data plate has beed removed. It does not appear to include a fairlead. Here’s an original example: https://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/capstan-winch-found_topic29322.html … the seller is accepting offers.

Doesn’t run at the moment.
“90 percent complete missing windshield frame, water pump fan distributor everything else seems there. Non runner but shouldn’t be hard to get running Have clear title and all vin plates Typical rust in body frame is really nice !!”
This is a good price on a vintage tire carrier. Seller will not ship. It looks to be a Kayline.

UPDATE: Looks like this deal is not longer valid.
Jon shared the news the Amazon is currently offering a CJ-3A Bestop Tigertop for only $609.88. It’s part of their “Warehouse deals” program. He bought one of the tops and he says it fit his jeep perfectly.

This item looks unique, but I can’t get a sense of how large this is. Looks more like an Austin Champ than a jeep.

“For auction is a Jeep club badge ( overlander) It seems to be cast from alloy. Post free Australia, International $25”
UPDATE: I received my copy of this book. Published in French, the book is full of French-specific photos (over two hundred). Most are from WWII, but some are from later years other areas around the world. Besides jeeps, photos of GPAs during the war years appear and, from later years photos, a few military CJ-3As along with a five-star Jeepster.
The author also explores the inscriptions/markings of French WWII jeeps in-depth, but lacking any background in that information, I can’t say how accurate (or not) the information is.
On the downside, the book promotes the phrase “General Purpose” and “Government purpose” as the words behind “GP” in GPW. The book also only recognizes some prototypes, but not others in it’s brief chart of production numbers (pg 16).
This book is written by Paul Gaujac. It’s a 144 page book that you can purchase on Amazon (I’m sure it is available elsewhere, too).
This surrey-like mb is painted pink as a tribute to the builder’s wife’s victory over breast cancer. Though labeled a 1942, it’s actually a 1944.

“Many of us know the history and some more than others, however this vehicle is special as it was built by a husband for his wife after she battled breast cancer and won. He had a highly detailed restoration on this Jeep completed. One thing to note is that it says “1942 Willys” on the side of the hood, however it is actually a 1944. This was a slight mistake done at time of restoration.
This particular Willys is in fantastic condition both physically and mechanically. This Jeep has been driven and it starts, shifts, brakes and goes down the road as you would imagine with all the lights in working order as well. This would be a great piece to add to your collection of eclectic autos, use in parades or do a repaint back to original as there would be no metal work to complete. This is a turn key Willys that is looking for a new home.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4500
(06/12/2019) Could be a nice flattie. It has full floaters in the rear.

“Lots of 24V parts for an M38A1. Restoring my 1962 M38A1 and converted it to 12v and have lots of parts that I no longer need. Also many non-electrical parts as well.

All parts usable as far as I know. Items to be sold as one lot, as is. Will consider trade for M100/M416 trailer in good shape.”
This VEC appears to be # 22678. For some reason there are no indents.

“Selling my project 46 cj2a. I was planning on restoring it and building it but plans have changed. It has a dauntless v6, 3 speed trans, twin sticks, reupholstered seats, original data plates which are hard to find, and a fairly rust free body. No rust holes! The hood and fenders are taken off at the moment but I can put them back on if need be. It is a project, but it runs, drives and stops and all gauges work accurately.
Needs paint, body work, probably a little more tuning with the carb, and wiring for the lights. I can finish the body work and paint but we would have to work out a price. Overall is a really cool little project. Not firm so send in some offers or trades! Serious inquires only, no low ballers please. Possible delivery, I have it on the trailer already”
Blown head gasket, so doesn’t run at the moment.
https://monterey.craigslist.org/cto/d/hollister-1947-willys/7009143388.html
“1947 willys. Not running, Project. 3.8 Buick engine with a blown head gasket. Squirrels ate the spark plug wires and a few of the small wires. 2 inch lift and 6000 lb winch. Been sitting for a few yrs. It’s on a non OP.”
