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: **SOLD** Was $1900.

2,000 Miles And 38 Quarts of Oil Later
MARILYN CARLTON (Medina County Gazette)
December 21, 1970.
“Ohio or Bust” is what the sign on the back of the age Jeep (1942) said when two young men on leave left Jacksonville, Fla.
Airman Steve Brookover, 20, who has been in the Navy two and one-half years, and Airman Denny Kellham, 19, stationed at Cecil Field, took a lot of ribbing when they decided to come home on leave in the jeep.
Steve said “The guys started betting right away that we would never make it.”
“They called it ‘Kell-Brook Folly'” he added.
The four cylinder jeep has no heater, only half a canvas top and no back at all. It took 38 quarts of oil to make the trip and averaged only 35 miles per hour.
It was 57 hours after they left Jacksonville before they arrived at Hinckley, where Brookover’s parents live. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Roland Joy.
The airman spent 42 hours of the 51 driving, 15 hours in a steady rain. “I think it must ahve been the Monsoon season in Georgia,” Brookover joked.
The men admitted to some trouble with a slipping clutch when coming over the mountains and they ran out of gas on Interstate 71 — just nine miles from the Medina exit.
Brookover said they bought the Jeep about six months ago “just to run around in.”
“They wouldn’t let us bring it on the base, so we worked on it in town on our time off. I guess they thought it might be a hazard at Cecil,” Kellham added.
Future plans of the two Navy men do not call for a trip back in the kell-Brook Folly — they plan to fly back Jan. 3. They leave Jan. 5 on a Meditarranean cruise aboard the USS Forrestal for six months. They are in Attack Squadron 81.
Airman Kellham has been in the Navy a year and a half and hails from Toledo. His mother, Mr. Evelyn Kellman presently lives in Indiana.
===============================================
Original post Aug 6, 2018 – Charles is looking for his Dad’s 1942 GPW. He writes, “My dad had a 42 gpw he bought during his time in the navy in the Vietnam years. He actually drove it from Florida to ohio during leave with my future moms cousin (also in the navy)and on that trip he met my mom for the first time. A jeep brought them together. He let it go sometime in the 70s but still always talks about it.”
He provided me with a serial number of GPW535301. That number has not been registered on the G-503 Database, but it appears higher than it should be, especially for a 1942. If anyone has any additional insights, he would welcome them. I suggested he add a post over at the G-503 site.
Alaska Paul shared this great story of how some citizens of Homer, Alaska, in the 1960s used General Mills coupons to purchase a new fire engine. As the story is being told make sure to spot the photo of the CJ-3B Fire Jeep & Trailer!

This is the photo (in case you don’t want to watch the story):
Looks like a stainless body with some nice updates.

“I am selling a 1948 Jeep CJ2 with a Chevy 327 v8 and 4 speed transmission with a Warn overdrive. Here is the back story. I bought this Jeep in December from a man who owned and built this Jeep from 1976-2017. In that time he managed to save every recite and manual from his build. I have 41 years of paperwork. When I asked him why he’s selling it he responded with, “I’m too old and too fat to drive the thing.” Since owning it all I have done is drive it about 100 miles and replaced a fuel tank. I’m selling it because, full disclosure, I barley fit in it and I’m looking at a motorcycle I want to buy. I’m also open to equal trades, trade plus you give me money or trade and I give you money. Make an offer.”
It runs and drives and includes the trailer.

“Two 1946 Jeep Willys CJ2A Civilian”

(07/09/2018) It might be an M-38. The body is fiberglass.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/nph/cto/d/1951-willys-flat-fender-jeep/6664169295.html
“I just picked up this Willys with some other cars in a package deal. I know very little about this but I’ll tell you what I know.
I was told it ran a few months back. All the other vehicle run and were stored with stabil. I haven’t hooked it up to a battery to check anything.
It is a fiberglass body which I have been told are very desirable. It sets on a nice clean no rust frame. Engine is a GM 6 cylinder.
Like I said, I know very little about these kinds of vehicles so come take a look. If you have specific questions, text me and I will get answers.
May trade up or down for classic cars.
It has a clean arizona title that is signed and notarized.
I’m pricing it cheap because I haven’t messed with it yet. It it doesn’t go I’ll get it on the road and then sell it.”
Needs some work. Has some updates.

Also needs a little work on exhaust hangers but otherwise a great little Offroad vehicle. Soft top needs passenger side window. Has full soft doors. Sitting on 31’s.”
Looks like a project.
https://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/d/1943-willys-jeep-flat-fender/6662771841.html
“I have a 1943 Willy’s jeep flat fender. This has a chevy conversion, I has a 327. The only reason I am selling this is I don’t have time to work on it. It does come with a tow bar and heavy duty winch on the front. When we picked this up it was a ranch jeep and had carpet in it. We took the seats and carpet out. I was going to redo the center console metal work. I have two sets of seats that will come with the jeep and I am also have the back seat that was in it. I can put this on my trailer and deliver if needed for a fee depending on distance.”
I believe this is a GPW with a CJ-3A body on it.
