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 .
Looks like an x-Shriner Jeepster.

“1950 Willys jeepster. Runs great. Has power brakes odometer stopped at 85000. 6 cylinder with power glyde automatic transmission. The drive train is out of a 66 nova”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Seller has listed the price as $4444, but I doubt that’s the price. The ad is a little odd.
“Rust is free and very little of it.Going back together as a project currently used for promotional purposes ,That contact expires march 20 and you can call it your own after that.Fly and drive/Well deliver to your doorstep @ 1.00 a mile.Tahnx J.Paul Weber Brewing co.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Includes a hood and fenders.
“For Sale: Clean and complete CJ2A body tub, both front fenders, gas tank and stamped grill with headlights and headlight buckets and trim rings. VERY Clean, has been soda blasted, nicely repaired in the floors and painted OD green. The tailgate was professionally welded over with plate steel. It looks stock, but it is not as is. It could be brought back to the stock configuration with some sheet metal work and welding. This set does not have a windshield frame.
Perfect as a replacement body. This entire package IS a package deal and came from one jeep that underwent a military body replacement-conversion. I will separate the set.
Please voice call for an appointment to see it in person.
The Jeep tub and jeep body accessories listed are located on our ranch between Salado and Holland, Texas 76571, about an hour South of Waco, TX.
*If you’re reading this add the tub, fenders and body parts mentioned are still for sale.”

“So this is a 1948 CJ3A, titled as such with only two parts on it that are original. Everything else is from a samurai. Basically it’s a fiberglass jeep body, bolted onto a 1994 samurai frame with all samurai running gear. It was built to be ultra light, with the bench mark of below 1800 lbs which meets the legal requirements for a side by side (class IV UTV) to go on side by side only delegated trails. It’s also a fully insured street legal registered 48 cj3a (no DEQ to meet). The fiberglass body is also made to be 8” longer than a stock CJ3A has to accommodate taller drivers. Why a samurai? Everything on a samurai is built to be lightweight. The engine is fuel injected, aluminum block and heads, fully dressed weights 175 lbs…….. If you think bolting a chevy 350 inside a CJ2A is a good idea this rig probably isn’t for you. If you recognize the biggest advantage you can have off road is lightweight, we should talk. It takes the idea of “go anywhere” to a whole new level.
The good: 5 speed transmission, fuel injection, low transfer case 5.7:1 H pattern, ARB lockers front and rear, ultra light. It’s set up for easy flat tow (4 prong trailer wired directly into the taillights). Custom made soft top to fit the extra 8″ and an island top as well. It will fit in the bed of most trucks like it’s a side by sides with the tailgate down if you don’t mind some strange looks. Gas tank fill in the rear like a samurai, not under the drivers seat like jeeps. Everything runs and works good on it.
The bad: The main reason I’m selling it is because I’m 6’4″. Even with the body 8″ longer than a stock jeep I am cramped in it and it’s uncomfortable to drive. If you are my height, you might not be happy in this rig. Currently for weight purposes it has no back seat and there is an panel in the back area cut out where the seat is supposed to go. No windshield wipers, I just haven’t hooked them up yet as I’ve never driven off road. Technically it’s not a legal side by side, law states it has to be 1) No more than 65″ wide. 2) No more than 1800 lbs dry weight. 3) 14″ wheels…………….. It meets 1 and 2 fine but I have yet to get 14″ wheels for it. I talked to the director of the Oregon OHV program about the 14″ wheels. He says he doesn’t know of that law ever being enforced and half the side by sides have 15″ wheels anyway, but if since the jeep is a technicality, they might be tecnical on enforcing such things.
The ugly: The paint. It’s an off road toy, I spent no time making it look pretty. It’s not going to win a car show for the paint job. But no dents with the fiberglass…….. Pic shows windshield folded down. $12,000 OBO, trades unlikely but I will consider them if you tell me what you have and what kind of trade deal you are looking for. Hint: I’m not stupid I know how to look things up, I know what a 1986 mini van is worth, think classic bronco, or land cruiser.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown .
(01/18/2018) “I have a unrestored 1951 Willys M38 Military Jeep for sale.
The engine starts and runs good and drivetrain seems good.
Black in color and still has 24 volt system.
It has some rust in the floor and would probably need a floor pan kit.
The breaks are not working and I think it was the Master Cyl. leaking.
I’ve had it stored for about 15 years and it’s always been garage kept sense I’ve owned it.
For more info give me a call.”
This unusual brochure was part of an early equipment book.
Might be unrestored?

“This is a 1955 M38A1 in very good condition. very clean inside and out, it has been stored in a warehouse since its purchase in 2014. Would be very nice to add to the collection or to take in a parade. There is a winch added to the front bumper. it has 40334 original miles on the vehicle.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
This could be worth a look. As Paul points out, it could be an M-38 given the grill. Maybe it has a replacement body.

“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep in driving condition with title. A lot has been done and it wouldn’t take much to have it to the next level. I just had the drivetrain gone through and included, new radiator, new ignition, replace and reseal cylinder head, replace and reseal steering box, new carburetor, replace and reseal transmission, new brakes, plus more. The body had come off and had sandblasted then treated rust with Ospho, primed and painted. There are a few rust spots in the body but minimal.
Frame is in great shape. I drive this Jeep around and get the old thumbs up everywhere I go. The Jeep is registered and titled to be driven on the street which is a huge hassle in itself. It really doesn’t need anything to drive away but the body could use some additional repair to be 100%. This is powered by the original L head motor and the hi lo and the 4 wheel drive are operable.”
The floors that we can see don’t look too bad.
