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: Price dropped to $10,900
(04/24/2011) This has some interesting mods, including the unusual approach to mounting the gauges. I wonder if those are custom headers. They appear to have an unusual slope (compared to the ones I’ve seen).

This is advertised as a 1942, but clearly isn’t. The irony is that the seller is asking buyers to do their research and see how rare this is. I suppose a 1942 M-38 really is rare.
“This is your chance to own a true piece of history. This Jeep is rare for a few reasons,its a Marine jeep, it’s a 1942 but its also a factory PROTOTYPE GENERATOR jeep, meaning that it was designed to power a MASH unit emergency electricity. Although its not currently installed in the Jeep, WE DO HAVE IT. As far as we know it still works, and it comes with jeep. This jeep runs of multi fuels. The tires are brand new, the Jeep runs and drives like new. Clean under this on, it has been in the family since the early 60’s and has been garaged and rarely driven, it has been restored here and there but mostly just a super fine example of a rare jeep, WITHOUT the body filler that most of them have. You will be pleased to own this Jeep. We believe this one belongs in a museum , but due to family needing the money we must sell it. This jeep is so nice, and runs great. It is perfect for shows or parades. It is always started once or twice a week and backed out of the garage and moved back in again. It has the PTO system with whinch on front and rear. Also included in this auction is a large MASH unit tent heater that is also multi fuel, it looks to have never been used and is VERY rare. Please feel free to have a appraiser come out and look at this beauty before you bid. This Jeep is NOT for-sale locally so it shouldn’t get gone before the auction ends. However if it meets the reserve I will end the auction early and sell to the highest bidder, But the transaction will still be made through ebay only. Please do not bid if you don’t have the money, this is a family owned jeep that means a lot to us, so please don’t play games with us, either buy it or don’t. No hard feelings. The SN/VIN#IS MC34211 and its a TP25 Generator Prototype Jeep. Please do your research and discover just how rare it really is. This Jeep still has its minor war pings in the body hear and there (we did not want to get rid of those) why use body filler if you dont need it? This jeep is a blast to own and drive. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me, I can be reached by text at 205-520-4782 or via email. I have included pictures of the generator powering unit and the multi fuel tent heater, also include is a Marine tool box. Buyer is Responsible for any shipping/ transporting cost”

The electrical has been converted to 12v along with the starter and headlights. The Jeep was never abused and has been in my family for several decades. I don’t drive it much anymore and would like to see someone use it for hunting or play.”
UPDATE: This is now on Craigslist.
(08/10/2011) There are some things to like, but the passenger side of the body looks a bit patched.
“Year: 1946
Model: Willys CJ2A
Mileage, not sure, speedometer has 68,633 but needs new speedometer cable.

Roll Bar and Rear Spare Tire mount with Jack mounting bracket
Drivers seat needs repair
Original engine I believe, straight 4 cylinder, runs very good 45-50 mph down the road
Converted to 12 volt throughout

UPDATE: Was $7950 **SOLD**
(11/01/2011) This looks like a sand rig of some type.
“This is clearly ONE OF A KIND….. You have to see it !!!! We have a clean title, it is on a non-op now.. If you have any questions please feel free to email me, and I will quickly get you a reply. 1948 Willys RED !!!!! Make me an offer, and please do not low ball me”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
The title on this is interesting (see bottom). It looks like a nice little rig.
“This 1958 willys pickup is no trailer queen by any means but it gets thumbs up and smiles where ever she goes. I think these little Willys pickups and wagons had classic lines from the day they were built. I use this little truck on a regular basis and it’s proven to a great driver and dependable.
The body and paint work on it is amatuer grade. The cab and doors are solid. The doors shut and open nicely and windows roll effortlessly. There are grinder marks and runs here and there but it is all pretty shinny. The paint on the door jambs and interior are pretty nicely done. The passenger bed side and top right rail is the worst area on the truck. I have considered putting new top rails on the bed sides and doing the outside of the flat sides of the bed in oak to make it look like a woody bed. The floor in the bed is in good shape as is the tailgate. This truck has been in dry country so it’s not a rust bucket.
It has a clean little 250 cu in Chevy straight six in it that looks like it was born there. Like a lot of small block Chevys it will puff a little smoke from the valve guides when you start it. Although a mild engine, it is still nearly double the horse power of the original engine and it is suprizingly quick. With that extra power the Warner overdrive works great. It will run 60 mph with no strain at all. The stearing is tight and it goes straight down the road. The T-90 transmissin shifts quick and easy with no problems of grinding or popping out of gear. Clutch is quite and works like it should. The brakes are ok but they have never been anything to write home about on early Jeeps. With the engine convertion they put in a hanging clutch pedal and the matched it with a firewall mounted brake master cylinder and a hanging brake pedal which got rid of the old typical “squawking” through the floor pedals. It has been converted to 12volts. The speedometer, temp, amp and oil presure gauges work. The gas gauge works but reads 1/4 tank when it’s really empty. It has the millitary style lock out hubs that are precise and easy to use”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This has plates, but it doesn’t have front running lights, so I’m not sure it is really street legal?
