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 $3000.
This appears to be in good shape.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
The driver side fender corners look a little sharp. I’m wondering if this has been modified. Otherwise, this Navy CJ-3B looks good for the price.

The tailgate has been filled in on this CJ-3A. Otherwise, this might be a solid jeep.

It looks good from a distance, but no close up images provided.
“Reluctantly selling my 1951 Willys M38 Army Jeep. This jeep is almost entirely original, so it is a steal at this price, well below NADA. You will see fully restored jeeps for $15,000 or more. This jeep is well on its way, but much more affordable. This jeep runs great, 4X4 is operational, will climb anything and go anywhere. Great for four wheeling, hunting, or just cruising around town. It has the famous 3 speed, flat four engine. Many parts of this jeep have been restored to original condition, including new seat covers (original canvas style), new headlights and blackout lights, new tires, new windshield/gasket, and much more.

(06/30/2012) Here’s a nicely restored former Forest Service CJ-6.
“1974 Jeep Cj6 with 304V8
This Jeep is a barn find that I picked up when I lived in GA a few years ago. This CJ6 is a former US Forest Service vehicle so it is a rare survivor. The jeep sat in a barn for over 20 years and I repaired alot of things to get her on the road. All of the parts that I used were stock or NOS when I could get them. The only items that are not stock is the 2.5 inch lift springs and the 33×9.5 BFG All Terrains.
I have spare engine, axles, and many other parts that will go with the Jeep. This is prime canadate for someone to own a piece of history that will only go up in value.
email me with questions or for more photos”

Here’s a very nice M-38.
“In the mid nineties I did a complete body off frame restoration of this M38 over a period of 4 years spending hundreds of hours. Every part was sandblasted and refurbished with NOS and new parts used where needed to restore to original.Included is a full winter enclosure with doors and side curtains.Also included are copies of the TM9-1804A, TM9-8012, ORD 9 SNL G-8012 and an original copy of TM9-1804B dated 1952, also original jack, handle, lug wrench and canvas pouch. The engine was rebuild with new rod and main bearings, valves reground, new pistons and rings, all new gaskets and seals. The transmission and transfer case were disassembled and necessary parts replaced and new seals and gaskets. Same goes for front and rear axels and drive shafts. New brake cylinders, lines, mastercylinder and shoes were installed.
NOS (new old stock) parts are as follows: radiator, air filter and precleaner, tail gate, driver and passenger seat frames, front floor panel, spare tire rack gas can holder, top bow and brackets, 24 volt recep, underhood battery box, tool box door, seat springs, vacumn wipers, vehicle data plates, cold weather primer, muffler and tail pipe, waterproof light switches, shackles on front and rear bumpers and other small items.
A complete new waterproof wiring harness using original douglas connectors was added. two new 12 volt batteries have just been bought. All of the waterproof vent system was replaced
The old gas tank was replaced with a new repro and sealed on the inside.
Some of the features are: 24 volt electrical system with one 12v battery under the hood and another mounted in the cowl area. The distributor, spark plugs, starter, generator, horn, all electrical are waterproof along with the engine and drive train. The blackout light on the fender and all blackout lights are functional, new windshield glass and weatherstripping added, new welting added between body parts, new shocks front and rear.
Every effort was made to restore as original as possible. Since restoration I have only put about 20 miles on it mostly trailering to car shows. In 1996 It won the peoples choice award at the Ga MVPA rally in Helen, Ga. It has always been garaged. I have the original Tenn clear title dated 1980. Ga does not require a title on avehicle this age.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Here’s a nice looking truck.
“1948 Willys ½ ton truck. 58,104 original miles. 4 cylinder 134.2 cubic inch engine. All original 4 wheel drive. All instruments work. Original interior. Runs excellent.
Here is what’s new: rebuilt carburetor; coil, battery, fuel pump, solenoid, gas tank float, fan belt, radiator hose, tail lights, headlight bulbs, plugs/wires/points and distributor cap and new paint (not original color), Atlas Desperado 31 x 10.50 R15LT tires, new Racer polished aluminum rims, new reproduction bed.
Driver’s windshield has a crack but there is a new glass that comes with the sale. The inside door openers are push button (see photo), the driver’s side is cracked but opens, the bumper needs to be re-chromed, needs a rubber shift boot, no glove compartment (comes with extra parts but isn’t worth installing”
Doing some hub research today I ran across images of “Big Red“, the CJ-2A that lives in the Clackamas, Oregon, facility of Warn Industries. It’s a beautiful looking jeep that I plan to visit one of these days.
If you haven’t been to the Warn website, stop by the history page and check out the picture of the two odd jeeps taken early in Warn’s history when the shop was located in Seattle. I contacted Warn about the photos, but they couldn’t provide any additional information about the jeeps. I’ve never seen the body and frame modifications like those any where else. It looks like it turned CJ-2As into a truck.
Big Red:
Here’s a shot from the 208 Sema Show from Truckin
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was priced at $8000.
This is actually one of two trucks. Both sold quickly.
“1955 Willys fire truck. A rare piece indeed. It was left alone in a storage unit since 1986. It has 3100 miles on it. The body and interior are really nice on it. With some mechanical work this baby will the hit of the parade! Siren and light work! Complete with hoses, ladder, ax and even the lantern. It does run and I have moved it forwards and back. And put it in 4×4. I tuned it up, changed the oil, flushed the gas tank. However, these are the things I know it needs: has no brakes, radiator, water pump, PTO universals.”
