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: Still no pics provided.

A few months ago a writer for Jalopnik thought this GPW would be a good buy, titling an article “You Can Buy An Incredibly Well-Restored WWII Jeep Willys/Ford For $19,500”.
Unfortunately, the jeep is not quite so well restored. The first obvious clue? The CJ-2A windshield. It just goes to show how difficult it is for most folks to recognize a stock jeep. (I’m not sure if I ever listed this one on Craigslist, so the below pics is the only one I’ve got to share).

“No engine, currently set up for Buick v6. Tub is rough but lots of good parts and does have good title in my name.”
Runs, driver, no windshield glass. There are Willys markings on it, so it might not be as late as a 1964.

“Jeep Willy’s runs drives 4×4 works trade for polaris, or other toy I can use on ranch No weapons needed or wanted for trade”

Listed as a 1948, this sure looks like an M-38 to me.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
Looks like it’s already been through some body work, as the drain holes are plugged, but the seller indicates it needs more.

CJ-5 body melded to a flattie front. List as a 1942, I don’t see anything here that suggests ’42. It might have Husky or Allstate hubs.
“42 willys jeep running gear everything there except from the dash back someone put a cj 5 body on it what you see is what you get motor is a 289 Ford motor does not run froze up .( IM SELLING THIS AS IS. )I don’t know anything about this jeep just got it on a trade I did.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9695
(08/15/2018) This appears to have a CJ-5 hardtop, hence the reason it fits oddly at the windshield.
“Nice running and fully operational 1951 Willy’s CJ5. Has a manual winch on the front that operates like a comealong ratchet. Has some type of custom rack system for carrying boards, or long pipes ETC. Hard top and rear bench seat. Equipped with an external rear box for carrying tools or luggage ETC. This is a perfect Jeep for restoration or getting back to your back 40 in old school style to stretch the fence lines! It starts up and stays running on the first try.”

Good price. Somehow, someone reattached the windshield backwards?
Steve shared this carved pumpkin with a Willys-ish grille. It might be a few slots/tines short of a full grille, but it does the job! Happy Halloween!
We were on the road all day, so just a few updates today. Ann and I drove over to Kelso to see the Bobcat and Parkette fiberglass molds Al Schaper and I bought back in 2015 and meet with Jerry, a guy who has agreed to buy them. He is the same person involved in the production of the RCD fiberglass hoods that appeared on the market. He’s hoping to expand the offering of fiberglass products for the old flat fenders. Jerry’s been a long time jeep guy and is currently building a CJ-3B. So, stayed tuned!
Now for the requests:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This M-38 might have a replacement body. I can’t tell for sure.
“selling for friend, 1951 wi llys jeep, great condition, 4 cyl. runs great, call for more info.”
