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 .
Needs work, but looks pretty stock. Given those steps have survived it might not have been beat up too much.
“All original good body, no damage. Original 4 Cyl. engine. Includes original trailer. In barn for 20 yrs, but had it running a few years ago. I would restore it myself, but I am 85 yrs old.”

Seller believes the Koenig hardtop top came off of a DJ, but that top wouldn’t have fit the wider windshield of the CJ-5.
“Been slowly fixing this cj5 up over the last year or so.
Recently replaced-
All fluids
Axle seals
Greased wheel bearings
Brake master cylinder
All brake slave cylinders
All brake shoes
Brake flex lines
Ignition switch
Tail lights
Distributor cap, rotor, points and leads
Spark plugs
Coolant hoses
Fan belt
Installed delco 145amp alternator.
And more I have forgotten about!
The original f134 motor runs well and I have driven the jeep around the block a few times. Still needs some work to be roadworthy but not much. Body is in good shape with very little rust.
Has a interesting Hardtop and doors that I suspect came off a dj5
Vehicle is fitted with a Ramsey pto winch and PTO.
Vehicle needs new rear leaf springs and the parking brake fixed before it will be roadworthy. Also the fuel tank really needs to be flushed and sealed.”

1952 Canadian military M38 “jeep” built buy Ford of Canada.

The seller states that the previous owner purchased the jeep from the second owner in 2003, and restoration work was completed in 2004.

“This jeep has been on my farm and doesn’t get driven. I just sent it to the mechanic and had a new starter installed and some wiring repaired. The jeep looks good, has the original engine, but the body has some obvious previous repair work performed. I never had a title, this vehicle is old enough that it can be sold with a bill of sale.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
(07/21/2017) Craig shared this one. Seller wants $6000 for all the jeeps.
“I have 4 Willys Jeeps. ’49, ’60, ’65, & ’69. I have titles to all except the ’69. The ’49 alone is worth the price of entire lot. I want $6,000 for ALL. I will NOT separate at this time! I may sell the ’49 by itself but prefer to sell the whole lot. Please don’t text me asking me for a book of information back and forth. It’s much easier to CALL! I can also help with transport AFTER the deal has been made. I am willing to trade the entire lot up or down for a TJ or JK Jeep. May be interested in other trades but Jeep preferred. I thought I would have time for a few projects but that has changed so I’m selling them all. It would honestly be easier to come in person and check them all out. Missing parts here, extra parts there, etc. PLEASE no calls or texts after 11pm.”
It runs.
“True barn find world war 2 military Jeep. Been in barn better part of 3 decades. Does run and drive but needs brakes all way around. Missing data tags on dash but has vin tag on frame horns. Unmolested amd mostly complete. Great start to a full restoration or fix brakes and drive as is.”

“Here is a good Jeep project. Engine will run, not seized. Hate to see it sit here. Has everything it needs to be put back together to run except a battery. Mostly all original. Some newer parts include; fuel line, fuel pump, and ignition. Has M38A1 radiator and hood. Custom made tow hitch. The floors are completely shot in front but still has original floor in the rear. Even has original spare tire support baffle. in the rear fender well.
I made my own spare tire carrier. The dashboard is not cut up. Rare aluminum Sears Deluxe Arctic Hardtop with original glass. No glass for the doors.

I also will include original Willys front fenders and new aftermarket fenders. And old ford rims and tires if you want period correct look, just have to put inner tube in one tire. Also can include a kaiser era tailgate. Selling as whole, cash only, no trades. $2500 obo willing to negotiate on price”
Project.

This has a 2×4 as a front crossmember? I think we’ve seen this before; that rear seat looks familiar.
“First year of the Jeep CJ5. Runs great, recent engine, brake and exaust rebuild. Needs clutch work to get going again. The floors are rusted out but the rest of the body is good. Pretty much all original. Needs restoration or use for hunting, etc.. Original color is Diamond Blue. Clean Idaho title.”
