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 .
Here’s a second set of Lift-O-Matic Hydraulic Tailgate brochures.
ORIGINAL POST (02/23/2013): This was sold in 2013 on eBay.
Was a former high school project. Looks solid. The floors have some liner.

“This jeep was my project in high school about 5 years ago. It’s been kept in the garage since then. Starts and runs like a champ, the engine (original 4 cylinder L-head) was rebuilt just before I got it, so very low hours. We had the transmission rebuilt, shifts like the day it was built. Body and paint (’46 Harvest Tan scheme even though this is a ’47 by serial number) is in excellent condition, interior protected with color matched bed liner. Hat channels are like new, no rust.

Craig shared this modified wagon. Note that it has right hand drive. Maybe this was a former right hand drive postal wagon?

M-38A1s:
Looks quite complete. This was made for 3 years (1950, 1951, 1952), not two years. Also, not the last of the flat fenders.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/m38-jeep-1952/6706150121.html
“This a military M38 Jeep. Only made for 2 years. The last and best of the flat fenders. Converted to 12 volt. Has lots of extra parts and goodies. Has a full winter cab and heater.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $1400.
(07/26/2018) Engine runs.
https://watertown.craigslist.org/cto/d/1940-willys-jeep/6691214306.html
“Clearly needs work, project Jeep. does run, manual transmission. Engine and transmission have been rebuilt. Comes with new and used parts. Text for more details. just don’t have time for it anymore everything that’s needed to finish it comes with it. Would be interested in trades just let me know what you have. I am asking way less for it and everything that comes with it then it is worth.”
Probably an FC-170 chassis. No pics of chassis provided.
https://cedarrapids.craigslist.org/pts/d/fc-jeep-chassis/6727121376.html
“FC jeep chassis. Frame, 6 cyl jeep gas engine, transmission, transfer case, axles. Was running when parked. Picture is for reference only. This is only the frame, engine, drive train, no body components. I can load on your trailer.
Rick shared this one. Seller notes the ‘many military accessories, but I don’t see any?
https://mobile.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-jeep-cj-with-many/6705952253.html
“1948 Jeep CJ with many military accessories. Motor stuck and requires complete restoration. Many parts. Bill of sale only. No trades and no texts. Phone calls only. $1000 OBO.”
This may have updated axles, but the frame looks to be 2A based on the transfercase crossmember bracket. I suspect only the title is a 1965 CJ-3B.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
(08/17/2018) Has an engine with a WWII head.
“1948 Willys Jeepster Overland for parts. The floor boards are severely rusted but it has a ton of useable and restorable parts. The drivetrain is complete. All of the frame work for the convertible top is still there. It isn’t really a builder quality chassis but I have seen worse starts to projects! It has NO TITLE. It spent well over 40 years inside a semi trailer. Sold complete only, AS-IS.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/2018) Has some interesting hubs (Sears-branded Dualmatics?). Might be a VEC. Just say NO to NADA vis-a-vis Willys.

“I am selling a 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A that we’ve owned for 20 years. It is in really good condition for its age with some normal rust under the floorboards which have been repaired. It has a 4 cylinder Willys engine which runs really good. The clutch works great and the 3 speed transmission and transfer case shifts very well. The brakes work as they should. There is some play in the steering wheel. The steering wheel itself is not original as it was replaced by my husband so he could fit in the driver seat! Electrical was converted to 12 volts. The tires are like new and the seats were reupholstered and have no tears in them. It comes with a 6000# Ramsey electric winch with a wired remote control. It also has a tow bar which is included.
Some issues: there is a small oil leak at the rear differential bearing shaft, the passenger side windshield is cracked, the odometer and the fuel gauge are not working and there are some minor electrical issues with the lights.
If you are familiar with the 1946 Willys, you know that it is a good investment if you decide to have it fully restored. For information, the NADAguides list it at $7,450 for Low Retail, $19,100 for Average Retail and $33,400 for High Retail.
I am asking $7,950.00 or best offer. CASH only. Serious inquiries only please.”
I think I found this photo on Facebook last month. To me, this looks to be a hardtop contract from Willys-Overland with tops supplied by Worman (based on my discussion in this Worman-Related post). I tried to find out more about the contract number, but all I could find was a mention at G503: https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=189059&start=75
UPDATE: **SOLD** Thes were on eBay.
They appear to be Thor Automatic Hubs.
“this is a good used set of 10 spline – 6- bolt lockout hubs for willys jeeps – the screwdriver slot is how you lock them in and out -”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.
This is a ground up restoration with original, NOS, and reproduction parts. It has no serial number or title.
“Note: This Jeeep does not have a title or a serial number. The engine has a serial number but its not correct for this jeep. It will be sold with a bill of sale only. Don’t read any further if you can’t deal with buying it on a bill of sale only. Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Take a look at this beautiful 1944 Willys MB. (Dated by date stamp on axle 6-8-44)
This started out as a rescue of many disassembled Willys parts from a deceased collector in central New Jersey in 2014. The frame was too far gone and missing its serial #plate anyway, so I opted for a new frame from DL Bensingers.
