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: Still Available.

Thanks for all the kind thoughts! I didn’t make it out to the garage yesterday, but I felt good enough to do eWillys. As least the wild swings between fever and chills have subsided. I expect to be back in the garage today after running a few errands.
I think these are from Korea?
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Jim shared these. Based on the front bumpers, I’d say 2 of these are 3As and 1 a 2A.
“3 Willys jeeps , 2 for parts and one is in good condition, both green jeeps are 1947 red Jeep 1948 one green Jeep Was running when put under the building needs a new battery has been kept covered have title In Hand. other two jeeps for parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks like a nice jeep. No description provided.
UPDATE: listed as a’42, it looks more like an M-38.
“1942 Willys MB Jeep 4 x 4. Serial # 2T18124. Mileage reads 28,733. Powered by a 4 cylinder Willys Go Devil gas engine. 3 speed manual transmission with 2 speed transfer case and locking hubs. Brakes have been upgraded to 11 inch drums. This jeep has a Braden power take off winch, these winches run off the engine power and don’t kill your battery. This Jeep starts easily and runs very well, the transmission and 4 wheel drive are smooth, quiet and work as they should.This Jeep has a 1951 M38 body tub. The Jeep comes with a full top, doors, bikini top, spare parts, towing lights and a technical manual. Overall a nice solid, good driving old Jeep.”

https://pittsburgh.craigslist.org/cto/6211504099.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Seller listed the 2A as a 1957.
“1957 CJ2 Willys Jeep with 4 cylinder flat head engine, needs full restoration. — 1958 CJ3B Willys Jeep with 4 cylinder OHV Hurricane Engine. Needs restoration finished. (Both jeeps have good titles) — Also have extra complete OHV engine and one flat head engine in pieces. Lots of extra parts, frame, rear ends, transmission and transfer cases”
Seller wrote “$3” in the title, so I’m guessing it’s being sold for $3000?
“1944 Willys original motor/trans, new f/r lights, gauges, runs”
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/6208828903.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(06/12/2017) It needs some brake and possibly body work.
“Very good condition 1946 Willys. Body, Trans, Transfer case all solid. Needs some break work. The engine has been replaced with a 2300cc ford pinto. Runs well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
Has a few updates, such as a the front bumper.
“This is a 1943 willys and I’m selling it for a friend. It is 80% stock and it runs and drives nice, it comes with a soft top and tow bar. This jeep is in very good condition and ready for you to take it home!”
UPDATE: Price increased to $20k. Seller believes this was a 4wheel steer jeep. Based my research, 50 GPW 4WS were produced, but were they produced as late as 1943?
(07/11/2017) Seller thinks those tires and rims are original …. this has a gas tank in the rear.
“So I picked up this 1943 Willis flat fender ford built and it just so happens to be model gpw-4ws and that meens a lot actuall makes it a 4 wheel steering jeep that is one of the 50 they made.the rear steering is unhooked but its all there and the numbers are right on so as you can imagine my numbers are going up a lot.the last one that sold was a couple years ago n was in a lot worse shape then mine n went for 46,000 that being said mine only has 95000 miles it still has the original tires n wheels it also has a brand new top and original cast iron 4cyl engine n here’s the deal this thing is old n needs to be cherished n I need a jeep that is trail ready so if I sold it I would be asking 20,000 so any tj or rubicon 4dr and some cash works or just cash me out n double your money in a month or two at auction.i just want something that’s dependable for me to take my kids out in will do. ”

Glenn spotted this Auburn trencher on the back of a tractor.
“International 2400 gas tractor with Auburn mounted trencher and Auburn mounted dozer blade. This is a one of a kind machine. Google it, Auburn made trenchers for tractors and Willys Jeeps from the 40s through the 80s. Parts are still available from a dealer in Virginia. I got this given to me by the original owner. I brought it home, and got it running. It has been sitting for about 4 years. Last time it ran, when the engine got warmed up, it died. Let it cool, it would run again. Easy electrical fix, I just have no need for the tractor. It is a cool piece to look at! Auburn split the tractor and mated the gear transmission with a hydraulic one. It still runs ans drives like a tractor, but when you engage the Auburn transmission and pto for trencher, it takes over. 98 ACTUAL HOURS. I know the complete history on the machine. It has a 5″ trencher on it. Blade works all the way. It really is handy, I just have no need for it. Feel free to call with any questions. Good for collecting or for use!!! I am asking $6000 obo. Make me an offer, I need the barn space! I can load it on your trailer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
There may be some parts value here. It looks to me like it has MB lids. Seller makes quite a statement about rarity, but the numbers don’t back that claim. There were 281,000 GPWs produced. That is more than the number of CJ-2As (225,000), CJ-3As (131,000), CJ-3Bs (196,000), and M-38s (45,000) … I guess it ain’t that rare after all!
“Complete jeep I’m not sure of the year but is between 42-45 I know it was made by Ford extremely rare, parts or the whole vehicle. I have the title some where or can reaply for new tittle, this is the rarest jeep ever made in the history of the country.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Runs, but no brakes.
“Starts, runs, drives but no brakes. Original super hurricane 6. 4wd hi/low 3 speed. Reinforced frame. Missing title. Serious educated inquiries only. Text.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“”For when its the End of the World, but you still want to drive an MG”
This mutant sweetheart is in need of a new home that will parade her hot rod bee-butt around more! In 2010 I purchased her from a talented Dr. Frankenstein who had built her in the 80’s, out of a ’73 Midget and a ’53 Willys Military Jeep.
She’s four wheel drive, has been maintained in running condition, kept in a car cover outdoors, used very little, and makes people ridiculously happy when she drives by. Her builder told us stories of towing his boat through the woods with her after she was born, so i’m pretty sure she’s ready for the apocalypse with just a few more accouterments.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/09/2016) Ran when parked.
“Runs strong and drives good. The motor is the special Corvette 327 with the ‘camel hump’ heads. Was told the motor alone is worth asking price. Plus about$700 in tires. Geared low so not great for highway use. Has the drop down tongue for pulling to your favorite climbing spots. New big o tires including the spare. Call me to come check it out. ”
