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 $5000.
It runs, but leaks a bit.
“Military Jeep; 1953 M38A1 ¾ ton. This Jeep is in fair condition for being 63 years old. It runs but has leaky seals. Lots of spare parts including two tops and doors. $5000 firm”
Is there something from a ’54 here? Looks more like a Jeepster Commando.
“1954 Jeep Willy’s Rat Rod. 430 CI Buick motor with a turbo 400 automatic transmission. Supposedly LOW miles on motor and trans (60k) Plugs wires, and recent tuneup has been done recently. New locar shifter. The original Jeep frame has been notched and channeled in order to lower. Square tubing and a platform done in the rear to still be able to haul anything if needed. The front has a complete disc brake setup from speedway attached on a 50s pickup axle. The top has been chopped 8″. 20 Gallon tank fastened to the underside so the original filler neck is still used. Doors and tailgate opens and shuts, metal work has been done inside. Also has temp gauge, oil pressure gauge, volt gauge, etc. Countless hours of work has been done to this jeep and there is not another one out there like it! This car draws a crowd wherever it goes, it’s fast, loud, and mean as hell! Car comes with a clean title.”

(05/07/2017) Needs some exhaust work.
“I am selling a near complete restored 1944 Ford GPW Army Jeep from WW2. The vehicle has a recently rebuilt Go-Devil Engine, carburetor, and radiator. A truly accurate restoration with the only modification being the 12 volt battery conversion. The comes with many original items such as a canvas summer top, first aid kit, axe, fuel can, and more. The vehicle still needs the some minor work on the exhaust which causes the fuel pressure to drop and cannot drive far until this final problem is resolved, however the vehicle idles perfectly and can be driven onto a trailer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7900.
Looks in good shape. Would make a find parade jeep.
“This is a 1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A in military dress. It is in excellent condition. electrical was recently updated to use a 12v system. The maintenance has been well documented. The title is clean and the tags are current for another 11 months. It will come with all the manuals, parts books, log books, spare parts and lubricants that I have for it.”
Runs and drives.
“Runs and drives, you can drive it where you want today. Original 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed manual transmission. Mostly original except wheels/tires and seats. Recently tuned up the engine and it runs good. Newer gas tank. All gauges seem to work except gas gauge. Original 6V wiring system. Odometer says 50K 5 digit and seems to work. I don’t have a top, basically what you see in the pictures is what you get. I took the Jeep on a trade deal, I was considering very strong to keep it around but things have changed and I now am looking to sell it. Clean title ready to sell.”

“I am selling my 1962 Jeep DJ3A project. It was originally a hard top mail jeep that was long ago converted to a normal CJ3A, with patches covering the original cutouts in the tub and an M38 windshield.
The frame is the original DJ frame (verified by stamping numbers) that has been fully boxed. It has recently been sanded, rust treated and coated. It has a square tube front bumper.
The Jeep was converted to 4×4 in the 70s, run by a couple owners, and then taken apart by the previous owner in 1981. The tub and all sheet metal was stored inside gathering dust until 2016 when I purchased it after he passed away. As a result of that, the tub is almost completely rust free, save for two small spots toward the back of the wheel wells. The original running gear (save for rear axle) is gone.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Only three jeeps were pictured. The post is on a Bourbon County (KY) resale board on Facebook.
This article in a 1943 issue of the Toledo Blade is an interesting profile of Military Chaplain Leland Larson who followed the US Armed Forces from North Africa to Italy. At some point, he got hurt and was awarded a Purple Heart. After the war he moved to Phoenix and became Pastor for the Holy Trinity church in Tucson, Arizona (from 1966 newspaper article). He moved on to at least one other church. He passed away in Green Valley, AZ, in 1990.
A cool (very cool as in freezing cold) photo.

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“Here is an unmodified Willys flathead Jeep with very little rust and no patch panels. The only rust I have noticed is in the outside fender steps and one small area on top of the rear wheel well. The foot, gas tank and tool box wells are solid with no repairs. The wheels and buzz saw have been sand blasted and power coated. The original L134 flathead engine runs strong and all 6v electricals work including the gauges and horn. Turn signals have been added but the original wiring harness has been left intact. Vacuum windshield wiper works (except when going up hills). Transmission has an oil leak; shifts well with no noises. Steering is tight; brakes need adjustment. Clutch rattles when pedal is depressed but works fine.
Includes a complete buzz saw assembly that attaches to the rear of the jeep. It is driven off a flat belt pulley on the rear PTO. The PTO drive shaft is bent but still works. It comes with an engine governor which needs a control arm. The speed control handle is still present on the dash. Also comes with top bows for a soft top.”
