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 .
Charles is currently vacationing along the Belgian coast. During his trip he spotted these photos on the window of a shop. He noted that “the advertisment NESCAFE on the jeep is belgian coffee – first one liberation of Belgium.”
Running out of room to store your Hi-Lift jack? Tom spotted this creative solution.
Appears in good shape.

“Restored by previous owner and running prior to being garaged a few years ago. Flat head 4 cylinder. Fender is off, but included. Needs new starter which was purchased, but has a different configuration so we did not install. This is an inherited car and we believe the fender was removed to work on the starter. Other new parts included: master cylinder, 4 wheel cylinders, & JC Whitney replacement tail gate. Probably needs new tires.”
Seems in good shape.

“1953 M38 Willys Military Jeep with 30 caliber replica machine gun and radios. Overall good condition and a head turner! The paint job is probably an 8. The radios worked the last time I tried them however they are designed for 24v system and the Willys was converted to 12v and need more juice to operate fully. There are a few small rusted areas (floor board, battery compartment) and I can get additional photos if you have serious interest. The windshield does not have wipers. The siren is not currently working. I’m not sure if its a wiring, motor issue or just needs some tlc. It is very loud however when it works. I put a new carburetor on it and have the original. If it sits for a short time I usually have to put a little fuel in the carb to start it. It runs well and has been used in parades, festivals and ice cream runs in town but just don’t use it that much anymore since I moved”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
It runs, but needs brakes. It appears worth a look.
“63 Willys Jeep. Runs,have title. No brakes. It’s a project Jeep.
Reese tow bar *NOT* included.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $3450.

Has an MB grille and a CJ-2A windshield. Can’t tell much more from the pic.

“Selling my 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. Don’t know too much about the history of it but I’ve owned it for a couple of years. Flathead 4 cylinder motor. I’ve done some work on it, wasn’t running when I bought it. New water pump, new copper head gasket along with a used head that I had magnafluxed at NAPA machine shop and it checked out fine with no cracks. The head it came with was cracked and caused coolant to get into the oil. It’s a 12 volt electrical system. Just installed a new carburetor because the one it came with didn’t have an accelerator pump and caused it to bog and stumble and not run like it should. Removed the fuel tank and had it cleaned and treated with sealant. Also just installed new ignition points, condenser and internal resister coil. Gauges work including speedometer, volt meter, temp gauge and oil pressure is 40 psi. The transmission shifts, hi and lo range and 4 wheel drive functions like it should. It stops but pulls a little to the right, brake shoes might need adjusted. It’s a smoker so it might need rings but it runs decent like it is. Not interested in trades”
(Ooops … I meant this to appear on Sunday morning)
Tom Payne and Roger Martin both share some pics from Saturday’s Willys Jeep Rally at Heuston Woods in Ohio.
The first two are from Tom. This one is John Ittel’s CJ-3B:
And this CJ-6 has a Willys industrial powered air compressor in the back:
Roger sent these pictures. According to Rick Riley (the owner), this cool vehicle is a “1979” C-o-m-a-n-d-o (one M) manufactured in Spain. He purchased it from an ex-military gentleman who was stationed in Sicily. When his tour of duty was up in 2006, he had the Comando shipped to the Norfolk VA. The vehicle was stored and not in service from then until Rick purchased it in 2019. The engine is a four-cylinder Perkins, four-speed transmission, full floating rear differential, Model 30 closed knuckle front and 488 gears. It is similar to the U.S. version of this body style Commando which ended in 1971, but there are many large and small differences between the two versions.
This year’s Willys Am Tegernsee convention in Bavaria will be July 13, 2019, I’m still hoping to attend this some day.
This December 29, 1950, ad in the Evening Star promoted Sligo Motors, Inc, a new Willys-Overland dealer. Note the Willys-Overland service sign in the lower left corner. I don’t think I’ve seen that one.
Someone’s put a lot of time into this militarized CJ-2A build.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(05/13/2019) Matt’s made some progress on this 3B project, but he needs to let it go. It has the L-head installed, but he does have the F-head still.
“Up for sale I have a 1955 Willys CJ3B project. This is a project that I started and have run out of time for. The chassis is finished…running, driving and stopping including a complete paint job with chassis saver, new shocks, brakes, steering components and a motor tune up. The engine is an earlier flat head (L head) engine rather than the original overhead valve (F head). Still a great running engine. I do have an original F head engine I could swap into it if you really want originality. T90 three speed transmission and D18 transfer case work perfectly. The pto system that is pictured on the frame is no longer on it.
This Jeep is at the point where it needs body and paint work. The body has been patched and strengthened but needs finish welding and grinding to be ready for paint. All of the sheet metal is currently just sitting on the frame nothing is bolted down. It is not drivable the way it sits.
I have 95% of everything for it the only things you need to get are seats, new tires, windshield gasket, hardware such as nuts and bolts and possibly a better tailgate. All of the small parts that arent pictured are in boxes in my garage and I can tell you exactly where everything is.
Body tags are intact and it is sold with a bill of sale only. No title. If you are in CT thats not a problem. If you are interested give me a call or text and I can answer any more questions you may have. I am asking $3000. I have more into the chassis than that. I may consider trades for other early flatfender Jeeps preferably ones with original paint. If the ad is still posted, it is still available. Thank you
Pictures show current state, finished frame and what it looked like before disassembly. “
UPDATE: **SOLD**
No pics provided.
“Beautiful antique jeep,must sell neg. Has radio”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Looks like mostly surface rust.
Early CJ hardtop (was on a ‘55). Good condition, rear door glass cracked. Doors are good with good glass. Have an extra set of doors to choose from. If asking price is met, you can have both sets of doors.”
Needs engine block at the very least.
