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 .
Listed as a “Navy” 1948, this may have been a Navy M-38.
“1948 Willys Jeep Navy Military issue. Engine runs good needs a little work. Engine is 4 cylinder flat head. Make Offer.”
https://boulder.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeep-navy-military/6401685430.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
(10/05/2017) It’s missing the steps, but appears solid. As the seller notes, the VIN 39353 def suggests it is one of the last column shifts made.
“46 CJ-2A Column Shift. Runs and drives good. Just took it on a 500 mile cruise a couple of weekends ago. New gauges, rebuilt starter, new voltage regulator, powder coated wheels, heater. Solid jeep. Side steps are missing, but I have them and they go with it. Serial Number: 39353. Quite possible one of the last column shifts made. Text preferable. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/19/2017) Body might be a little rough on the passenger side.

“For sale only cash 1958 Willys pickup sitting on a 99 s10 4 cylinder automatic runs and drives good”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $11,800
(06/02/2017) Nice looking truck. The most unusual aspect is the location of the gauge panel under the passenger side glove box.
“CLASSIC 1948 WILLYS TRUCK (Jeep Style) REBUILT TOP TO BOTTOM ! – 1994 S10 Chassis-4.3 Vortec 6 Cylinder AUTOMATIC-AIR CONDITIONING $11,800”
It’s a mix of parts.
“Solid body n frame is very nice. Engine is locked up from sitting, have it soaking now.”

Glenn spotted this one. Good price or bad price? I couldn’t say.
https://boston.craigslist.org/bmw/ctd/d/1990-luaz-969m-volin/6396655449.html
“It is hard to determine what type of vehicle this is – a truck, or an SUV, or something special. It is a one of a kind. Its foldable tarp roof makes it a great summer vehicle, strong heater warms it up nicely in winter time. Its fuel economy is phenomenal for a 4×4 vehicle – around 33 MPG.

It’s a plow truck.
“1962 Willys. Has been a yard/plow truck for many years on my property. Runs great. Obviously not Road legal but is great around the property to haul branches, firewood or whatever. Plows snow very very well. Very strong old truck.
Huricane 6 motor, 3spd manual, 55,643 miles, Fisher Speed Cast plow, 2 sets of wheels/tires with chains on rear of one set. Brand new battery last week and seasonal oil change/tune up done. Ready to plow someone else’s yard for many years.
Bought tractor with snowblower and just never use jeep anymore”
Given this doesn’t run, Id be careful spending more than $2000 on it. Parts are hard to find and expensive (I owned three at one point). There is a FB page for Champ owners.
“1952-62 not entirely sure of model year, Austin Champ. England’s attempt at making copy of the Willys jeep. 7spds forward + 7 in reverse. 9000 original miles. Right hand drive. 4 cylinder Rolls Royce engine. 24v system, 4 wheel independent suspension. antique fisher plow. one of very, very few here in the U.S. This thing will go like a tank. $4000 or best offer.”
https://nh.craigslist.org/ctd/d/austin-champ-jeep-ultra-rare/6400356889.html
I’m not sure if it still plows or now. Has a Koenig hardtop.
“1952 Willy Jeep for parts. Good drive train, good frame’
https://plattsburgh.craigslist.org/snw/d/1952-willy-jeep/6392934645.html

https://scranton.craigslist.org/pts/d/sears-allstate-aluminum/6394294335.html
Has some mods. Looks solid. This was manufactured just after the Lefty batch. Vin is 186729 and Lefty’s ended approx at 185769.
“1948 Willy’s Cj2a 90 % completed needs new tie rod ends and nuckles as well as a new or rebuilt 4barrel carburetor. The jeep has a Chevy 350 in it which runs very well, no smoke (needs carb work). Comes with a Best Top which is in perfect condition. Also included is a 6 point roll bar by extreme fabrication designed to be welded to frame ( not installed). The drive train and frame are original and are in very good condition and function properly. There is absolutely no rust or bondo on the vehicle, very clean! The tub is a steel aftermarket one and is correct with the Willy’s markings. The transmission is a three speed on the floor with a Saturn over drive, both of which function flawlessly. Has good rubber and aluminum wheels. The vehicle has a title and was purchased in Wisconsin about 2 years ago. the jeep was stored for years in a garage in Wisconsin.”
https://maine.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-cj2a/6399553142.html
There’s value here. It has a SN tag, an engine, and other parts. The SN# indicates this was a November 1962 CJ-5.

(11/14/2017) The price of this shriner jeep is listed at $7777777, which I take to mean “make an offer”.
“Look at the pictures closely

https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cto/d/1951-m38-jeep-4×4-v8/6401924880.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800. Brian noted that the serial number indicates this is a 1943 GPW.
Tim shared this one.
“WWII Jeep project. This is a Ford GPW WWII Jeep. I believe it is a late 1943 or 1944 but I am not certain. The jeep is fairly complete and would make a good project for someone looking for a restoration that has been already started. The body is in fair condition with the front floor needing the most attention. The drivetrain is mostly there with the exception of some transmission parts. It has a WWII GPW motor that will need rebuilding. The pictures speak for themselves and are a good representation of what the Jeep is. Again this is a project and will need a good amount of work before it is ready for the road. Feel free to ask any questions and I will do my best to answer them. These are getting harder and harder to find in restorable shape especially the GPWs. I don’t have the time anymore or I else would finish restoring it myself but I would rather see it get finished then sitting around.”

“Located in Angel Fire, NM———–just pulled out of the barn after 20 years plus collecting dust. 4 cylinder manual transmission 4×4. Body in very good condition and top is fair. Looks like the previous owner was attempting to take out the clutch. Bolts and parts in cab……..nice project, clean title. Hard to find in this condition as it is original paint”

It is remarkably original still.
