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 .

“1940 Willys Jeep in good condition. Needs work but great investment opportunity”

https://austin.craigslist.org/cto/d/kyle-1947-cj2a/6808496280.html
“Except for the battery all parts are there. Needs one new/used 31X10.5×15 tire too. Purchased it for a project but am moving from the country into the suburbs and don’t have a place for it. The original VIN plate is there and reads CJ2A 223340. Bought it from a gentleman that used it as a farm vehicle. Last time it was registered was in 1971. Would make for a great project or if you have the room, yard art. I really hate to part with it but it would be nice for someone to give it a life again.”
Eric shared this M-100 for sale. It still has its data plate.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clc/tro/6809640595.html
“I have decided to thin the fleet a little and have my Strick M100 military trailer for sale. The trailer is very complete and included correct reflectors, correct taillights, rear corner handles, NOS M100 chassis harness and intervehicular cable, intervehicular cable box, M100 lunette, landing leg and functioning brake mechanism. I the only part that I think is still needed is one of the safety chain hooks. As far as condition, the floor is a little thin at the very front of the trailer, so I am also including a donor M100 floor that can be used to patch the front. Obviously, a tailgate was cut and my plans were to repair it and return it to stock condition. Sorry to have to part with it, since I had planned on keeping, but need to let it go. Looking for $1200 OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Needs some work. Given it has Oregon plates, it may need to be relicensed.
“48 Willy runs good but needs additional work or new home on a ranch. Has extra gearbox and rear end”
UPDATE: The CJ-3A sold. The M-38 is still for sale.

“1940s model Willys Jeep
Starts & runs good. The brakes need some minor work, and the front left tire has a slow leak. Aside from that, it is ready to go. There is no VIN number or title. We have owned the jeep for over 20 years.”
UPDATE: Still Available (and still the same $1999.99 price).
In the March 2015 Inaugural issue of The Dispatcher Magazine, Bob Westerman wrote an article about Willys-Overland’s test of an Allison Transmission in an M-38 and the failure of that transmission to meet the needs of the military. The document below depicts WO’s effort to follow up that test with a second test, using M-38A1s and a slightly more robust automatic transmission. though improved, this transmission still did not meet the needs of the military, as the below report highlights.

UPDATE II: This brochure is reminiscent of the Argentina jeep pickup, though this one looks much more CJ-5ish. This is currently on eBay.
UPDATE: Maury found a couple related photos. That top looks kind of similar to one of the DJ-3A tops I’ve seen in pics. Nice half doors, too.

https://swmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/buchanan-1962-willys-fc-170/6810958758.html
“I bought this just over 5 years ago in west Texas. It’s been garaged the entire 5 years it’s been in Michigan. According to the previous owner, it spent most of its life in New Mexico. The body has very little rust, quite a few dents and dings, and the frame is in great shape. It seems to be mostly complete. Comes with a replacement used windshield, back window, and side windows. I’ve never tried to get it running, so consider it needing a complete going through. It has the 3-speed transmission and Selectro hubs. Some tires hold air, some don’t for long. It rolls and the engine rotates. The Jayhawk dump apparatus in the bed is not included, however it is listed separately, see my other posting. The transfer case is also not included. I have a clear Michigan title in my name. VIN# 61568 21173”
Runs and drives.

“I have up for sale a 1950 Military Willys that I got in trade and really have no need for. Pretty cool rig that runs, drives and stops. Its got its original running gear so its not going to break any land speed records. The body has been modified in areas for reinforcement mainly in the back where the tire carrier was added. It has minimal rust however the body is rough as in lots of dents. It does have new tires, new springs and has been converted to 12volt. The headlights are LED and work great and its equipped with a 12k winch that works. I don’t have time for BS so please be serious and only call if your truly interested. No this is not a daily driver, nor is it street legal (no turn signals) and yes it does have a clear title. I may be interested in trades but would rather sell it for cash.
It looks like it has a replacement body.
https://jackson.craigslist.org/cto/d/tyro-willys-jeep/6811442229.html
“This Jeep runs, drives, and stops great. The Jeep body does have some patch work and rust through in places, but as is you could daily drive and use it for fun or pleasure if you’d like. The frame looks great compared to most I see and very original. The engine runs smooth and strong and is the original 134L flathead 4. The original T90 3 speed transmission shifts smoothly. 4 wheel drive operates as it should. The top is in good shape overall. The button snaps are pulled loose in a few places.
I will be adding to this Jeep here and there while it’s listed. I plan to build the Jeep according to the body tub. Basically back into the M38 military style if it doesn’t sale soon.
This Jeep also has a clear title and can be driven on the road.
If your looking for an original classic Jeep that you can hop in and drive where ever you want then here you are An original early flat fender Willys Overland Jeep.”
