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: Status Unknown. Was $10,000.
Blaine shared this one. It looks in good shape.
“1960 FC 170 Jeep Cab over, duel rear wheel, flat bed. 4 speed, 240 ci Ford Engine”
Needs a new tank, but looks like a very stock Lefty.
“48 Willys jeep all original even the wheels and tires in good condition runs drives needs little work gas tank has pin holes needs a new tank $5500 OBO”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.
This looks solid. I’m pretty sure this is 6 volt and not 5.
“This is a great original willys. It runs great. I drive this jeep all the time. If you want a good original Jeep this is it. It is still 5 volt and not messed with. The tires are new.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6500.
Joe-in-Mesa, think Jan will agree to a plow jeep? You’ll be prepared in case it snows 🙂
“Antique WWII “Willy” Jeep with attached Snow Plow
Was driven in Williams, Az until 1992. From 1993 – now parked in garage in Gilbert and not used.
Exterior of basic jeep looks solid. Interior needs lots of work.
Custom cab cover very worn. See pictures for condition.
Snow plow worth around 1K.”
Listed as a 1943, it appears to have an M-38 body. Looks like this could have been a racer at some point (given the team relay flag holder on the cage).

Merlin spotted this oddity; I hope Irma didn’t sweep it away. Some folks on Facebook immediately dismissed it, but I think it was pretty well executed for what it is. The VW hood even mates up with the truck cowl pretty well. We’ve seen much worse….
“Very different and one of a kind rat rod. Built on a 1969 VW Beetle chassis with a 1972 dual port 1600 motor. 1960 Willys truck cab and title. Motor is fresh, completely new brake system, new tires, nice looking rims. Needs wiring to be completed. I have lost interest, too many other projects.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Looks like someone mounted a DJ-3A windshield on a CJ-2A. The floors look good. No description provided.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Someone has said that the seller may be taking offers on this, so the posted price might not be the actual price.
“I have for a sale what I believe to be a 1940’s jeep willy???”
Doesn’t run at the moment.
“1952 willys. Straight body, has a inline 6 from a newer willys. Wouldn’t take much to get it running and driving.”

May be pretty rust free. Needs TLC of some type.

$2500 OBO or trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Those look like d-slot rims to me, but I’m not expert on them.
“V-8 304. Manual transmission, 3 speed. 4 wheel drive works. Starter sometimes doesn’t engage. Throw out bearing makes noise. TEXT OR LEAVE MESSAGE. My cell phone service is very poor where I work.I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. No trades. Not parting out. Cash only. Local pick-up. Firm on price.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.

I missed out on these early Warn brochures that sold on eBay. There were two hubcap brochures, also known as “summer hubs”. The third brochure (in yellow) touts the Automatic Warn Hub. According to Hugo Vidal, Warn Industries and Hugo’s company AVM had all kinds of trouble with the Automatic hub, so it was discontinued (possibly in favor of the Warn Lockomatic hub?).
Roving eWillys correspondent Tim Evans braved Hurricane Irma to file this report.
He wrote, “I arrived in Orlando, Florida, last Wednesday (9/6) to attend a conference, but found out late Thursday that it was canceled. That gave me time to visit the Museum of Military History where I found a M38 and a M151 jeep. Then I began a long slow drive home to Kentucky Friday morning, arriving late on Saturday.”
Always good to see people taking their unpaid, completely volunteer, unheralded work as eWillys correspondents seriously. I may have to upgrade his title to Chief Hurricane Correspondent!
Rick reports that there was a car show this past weekend at the Mushroom Festival in Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, that included a couple jeeps. My wife would have never seen the jeeps; she would have been all over the bomb!
Could be a good price.

Daryl’s got a good price on this jeep. It has a Warn winch and what appears to be a warn overdrive.
“Great little Jeep that has been sitting for several years.
All original drivetrain except for motor is a Buick v6.
Motor fires but needs carb rebuilt.
Spent it’s whole life in Eastern Washington so has very little rust.
Powerlock in rear axle.
11” brakes on all 4 corners.
Upright Warn winch that works.
Clean Washington title in my name with collector plate.’
Blaine shared this GPW.
“1942 Ford GPW Script: Serial number 34183. Date of delivery, 6-16-42. This is a project jeep. The engine is an original GPW, it does not match the frame and data plate in numbers. Engine is stuck, but shows no external damage or cracks. Transmission is the correct early type with the fill plug on the right side. Radiator is F-marked as are most of the other parts on the jeep. Does not have combat wheels. I do not have extra parts to put with it. What I did have, is now on the jeep to make it complete. I have an original WWII pintle hook to put on, but it is not F-marked. Body is great shape for its age. Rust issues have been documented in the photos. The frame is exceptional. The front gussets are gone but the horns have never been plated, gusseted, welded or broken. This goes for the rear also. To make the dash more complete, I put a new temp gauge in, and a new keyed ignition switch. I have also included another original grill since the one on the jeep is banged up bad. Sold without title.”

(08/23/2017) It runs.
“1954 Willy’s Wagon, all original, RUNS, survivor and restorable, please.”
Might be worth a look.
“BARN FIND!!! All original- never modified. Command car with radios. And ultra rare artic kit. (Southwind heater) 95% rust free. Currently not running- but easy restoration. Clean tn title.”
https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/d/1953-willys-m38-a1-military/6302218818.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6200.
(05/21/2017) Comes with some extra parts.
“Have had this vehicle for over 40 years. Most of the work was done in mid 70’s. I put in storage shortly thereafter. I brought it out of storage about 10 years ago and brought it to it’s current condition – about 90% complete. The engine and exhaust still need to be finished. There is no top. There are many, many spare parts including the original flat-head and spare V6. This is the original Jeep Wrangler!”
