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 $2500.
(02/11/2018) Has some mods.
“1951 Willys runs and drives small block 360 Offers trade ?”
Update: sold. Was $500.
Never hear of Padla Trak tries.
“Sand tires unlimited 16.50″ wide around 33″ tall and 15″ rim. They are mounted on 15″ x 15″ wheels with a bolt pattern of 5 on 5.5
They are very light weight and will without a doubt do what other tires can’t. They hook great. When new these tires are around $800 each without shipping. If you have looking for a used set of these, you will know they don’t show up for sale very often. This is a great price. I am selling them because I do not play off road very much anymore. The bolt pattern fits a older jeep, willys, scout, bronco, and ford trucks. If you have the power to turn them, they will throw dirt sky high. (they are fun to play around with on your old jeep or truck since they are only 33″ tall)
This is a cash and carry sale only.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $1795.
Given the serial number, it seems more likely to me this is an early ’46 based on this chart.
“This is a rebuilt 1945 CJ2A motor. #12211”
Never installed.

(03/04/2018) This has a lift and a replacement body, among other mods.

No winch. Extra diamond plated half doors, bikini top 2 new front shocks. Over all in good shape.”

Chad spotted this customized M-38 on a Bring-A-Trailer Auction.
“This 1952 Willys M38 was purchased as a military-spec example by the seller in 1996 and subsequently underwent extensive refurbishment to its exterior sheet metal, tub, frame, brakes, steering, exhaust, and 24-volt electrical system. Power is sent to all four wheels from an L-head 134ci four-cylinder through a 3-speed transmission and 2-speed transfer case, all three of which were rebuilt during the 1990s work. Modifications include a new old-stock military deep-water fording kit as well as modern gauges, lighting, and wheels. This M38 is offered with documentation of the refurbishment, two covers, and a clean Michigan title.”
This has a 3B body, but the frame horns of a 2A. Probably a ’48 with a 3B body.

Craig shared this one. If the Kelly half cab is rust free, this could be a good price.
“Selling a project 1956 jeep cj 6, 4 cylinder, 3 speed trans,
body is very rough, frame is good, needs fuel pump, but does run.
I bought it to fix up but just have the time.

This has an overdrive and a PTO winch. Could be a good price.

This 2013 post from Offroad Action popped up while I was searching for something else. It highlighted the rebuild of an MB-turned-truck in Europe. There are a variety of photos showing the rebuild process.

Anyone know the history of this unusual Willys sign. I know I’ve seen it floating around before, but can’t remember where. Was it ever an actual sign?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
