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 $7200.
(06/24/2013) Given it doesn’t look like there was any gas filler on the driver’s side, I’m not sure what body this is front. Maybe DJ or repro? Looks like a nice build.

It appears to be a CJ-3B, but it’s listed as a 1950. It also has a CJ-3A windshield. Maybe a mix of parts?

Listed as a 1952 M-38, it looks more like a CJ-3B. It’s a project.
“1952 willys M38 jeep 4×4 its all complete with the original engine and tranny
And transfer case all Untouched with all the factory body parts she is very solid.
The M38 windshield could be folded flat for firing and the body was equipped with a pintle hook for towing and lifting shackles front and rear.

“eatiful 1948 Jeep CJ2A Willys
We believe we are the 4th owner only in it’s life. The mileage is approximately 77,800 original miles with the original engine. Does it have character yes but runs and drives great. Top end is about 50 mph and will run all day.
It has been converted to 12v and this winter we did the following
– Brake Pads, Rotors, Calipers, Hoses, & Steel Lines
– Spark Plugs & Wires
– Ingnition & Coil
– Distributor Cap & Rotor
– Lots of Gaskets and Seals
– Transfer Case Oil Pan
– Choke and Throttle
– Steering Stabilizer
– New Guages (except for odometer)
We have the original rims for the smaller tires if you want them. Comes with a bikini top and a soft top. The best news is those areas where it normally has rust has NONE. Nothing in the wheel wells and not even any in the tool box. The original paint has been painted over as it was originally the deep harvest red. The rest has all the character that makes this Willys so popular. “

Runs and includes a soft.
“47 willies Jeep runs and drives great four wheel drive Works have brand new rag top and doors never been on also have Western power angle plow blade no lift”
https://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/d/47-willys-jeep/6339799025.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $800.
It runs. There could be value here.
“I have a 1950’s Willys Jeep for sale. The motor runs great, smooth, and no smoke. All the electrical needs rewiring, as some of the wires are broken and the insulation is falling off too. The master cylinder is frozen as the brake pedal won’t move and the air cleaner is missing. Also, there is a hand operated plow set up on it, but I do not have the plow itself. There is no paper work with this, but I will include a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
There’s got to be $300 of value here. Based on the windshield I’d guess a 3A.
“Willys jeep recently rescued from a field! $300 OBO”
Includes a halftop and a plow. Jeep body is rough for sure.
“Have clear title. Body very rough condition, good tires, recent carb rebuild, new cap, rotor plugs, and wires. Comes with a 6′ plow and a half cab. Call with ?’s.”

“Bought this as my first summer project car and ran out of time and money. Although it is a project car, the previous owner did all the complicated work on it and I got it to the point where someone can get it driving in a matter of weeks. However complete restoration will be needed.

If it wasn’t for having to fit the radiator in and buying a roll cage this would’ve driving in a matter of weeks but with $980 spent into it and with college starting up again I have no money or time to finish the job. Parents have been pestering me to get it out of the driveway so i’m selling it at the lowest price I can.”
It’s a project.

Joe shared this story from the Wall Street Journal about a WWII vet who restored a 1942 GPW.
