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 .
Kind of a curious thing to put on the front of a jeep?

“1951 Willys M38 project my son and I started a few years ago. He has since moved away and is busy building his career, so it is time for the M38 to go. It had a Buick V-6 oddfire which was no good, so we built up a GM slightly later model V-6, which is currently in the longblock stage. Have most of the parts and sheetmetal, just needs someone to finish. Have title.”
The seller has the governor handle, but not the governor assembly (if I understand correctly).

“1949 CJ3a PTO assembly with the Belt Drive adapter.
Still currently mounted in the jeep so it can be used and shown to work, planning on pulling it sometime this month. Only thing missing is the Novi Governor under the hood. I don’t intend to restore this jeep to factory and it doesn’t suit any need I have other than looking really cool.
This PTO should mount to any CJ jeep or most older Jeeps that have the Dana 18 transfer case from what I know.
I’m selling just the PTO assembly, not the whole Jeep”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/10/2023) It’s a project that sounds like it must be sold.

“For sale:  $9000.00. Authentic Ford GPW WWII Military Jeep. Clear Texas blue title. SN on frame matches SN on tab on glove box lid. Both SN match the title. Frame is in excellent condition. Drive train is complete. Fuel system is complete. Body tub is in great shape, it does have some rust in front of the gun turret, but you can see in the pictures it comes with a brand new Beachwood canvas floor pan, not pieces but the entire floor pan. The OEM Ford “F” script military windshield is absolutely pristine. The L-134 gear driven engine comes with the jeep. The free-spinning gear-driven motor has a Ford GPW cylinder head on it and a rebuild tag as shown. All the parts, including a brand new clutch and pressure plate shown go with the Jeep”
It runs. It’s listed as a 1952, but is more likely a 1946 CJ-2A.

“Factory motor runs good. I have the original paperwork where it was bought new. It does not have a lot of rust. It does need a little work.”

“I KNOW IT ISN’T a JEEP PATRIOT but FB doesn’t list Willys and you can’t post an add unless you select SOMETHING so… Frame and tub are in pretty good shape. Needs motor. Rolls and steers easily. If you are looking to restore this model or make it an army jeep this is a pretty good platform to start with. Body panels are in good shape and the tub floor needs some work but is fairly solid. Frame underneath looks okay. This was supposed to be a restoration project but I realized I don’t have the knowledge or time so I would like to pass it on to someone else before the snow flies. Sat indoors for many years until about two years ago. Stays covered since. No title.”
