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 .

“For your consideration is a cleanly & near fully restored 1951 Willys
CJ2A(?)Jeep 4X4. Appropriately nicknamed The Killer Bee (& having 3
hand painted Custom logo), this project began as a repair this, and
make that, and with time gradually ended up becoming essentially a
Top-down Custom Restoration project. With Approximately $14,500
invested, my loss is YOUR GAIN!! For Sale – $7500, obo.
This Willys is being listed for a friend, so reply by phone, NOT by email.
The phone number is shown at the end of this description.
This jeep has been garage stored nearly all the time especially in the
winter. Before restoration, original body rust was very minimal.
This Willys is loaded with custom made parts, and the outer body
and BUCKET interior has NOT been commercially painted having instead
been Coated with Yellow Rhino Coating with Heavy Texture for
providing an extremely durable surface for the most demanding or
abusive conditions. Rhino coating is a virtually indestructible Truck
Line-a-Bed product. Polyurethane based, Low VOC, coated with a very
heavy texture, uncommon for automotive surfaces, but will hide dirt on
this bright color very well. You could throw a wrench, or a full size
long nailed dog could jump on the hood without leaving a mark. This
surface coating is often used on smaller ATVs. For further info click
the following link http://www.rhinolinings.com/index.php
The expertly custom designed and manufactured black removable
hardtop was made with aluminum sheet-metal & is also Rhino coated
yet the hardtop has an awesome Medium texture. This gorgeous top
includes 2 rectangular rear side windows, and an aesthetically sized
oval rear window & matching removable black coated doors for both
the driver and passenger sides with lockable door handles, and custom
lockable sliding windows. The doors can be installed or removed in
minutes, and are easily stored. The fully handmade custom hardtop
& doors were strategically creased to blend for fit, form & function.
Other custom parts include the cool exterior rear mounted spare tire
bracket fabricated from standard cold rolled steel (CRS)tubing simply
designed 2″ X 2″ CRS rear bumper and painted black. Interior features
include a custom Full cage roll bar, painted black, and nearly fully
covered with matching bright yellow foam padding. The dash board
having standard speedometer, odometer, & fuel gauges is cleanly
lacquered in matching yellow paint. Included are electric windshield
wipers for the original drop down front military windshield. The original
glove box and door remain to maintain originality. Newer electronics
included a Cobra CB radio with electronics integral to the handset.
The super-long CB antenna mounts externally to the passenger side,
and is usually looped to the windshield while cruising around town.
A Marine AM/FM/CD player stereo is installed between & just behind
the front seats. 2 quality speakers are mounted on or near the rear
fender wells. A portable electric heater/defroster is included
which plugs into the spare 12vDC cigarette lighter outlet jack, and is
temporarily mounted to the windshield when necessary during the cold
winter months.
Interested buyers please call (seven-seven 5) four 2 three- eightyone 60.
If no answer – please leave a message with name and phone number.”

This sounds pretty solid. The seller notes in a comment, “This jeep is about 99% rust free original condition. There is a very small place in the floor under the tool box. The hat channels are free of rust. The bolt holes for the tire hanger were skimed over.”
“This is a 1963 Willys CJ3B Jeep in excellent condition for a jeep of it’s age. It is stock except for the steering wheel and tail lights. It has the 4 cyl F-134 engine and 3 speed trans with Hi and low 4wd. You don’t find many of these jeeps in this condition. It has only 30258 miles on a working speedometer. This jeep comes with a set of original GoodYear Suburbanite 760×15 Super Cushion tires, this is the same tires that were available from the factory on these jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Sounds like a good rig. It smokes a little.
“This is a great old Willys CJ3b that I found and restored about 4 years ago. I found the Willys locally here in Anaheim CA, It was used mainly as a family camping rig through the 60s and 70s, it had been sitting in the side yard of a house in Anaheim for many years. Basically no rust to speak of. The body is really straight and clean origianal metal. I started with the mechanicals and rebuilt the brakes, the carb, new gas tank, new electric fuel pump, new ignition.. etc. I added a quart of oil and the ole OHC engine came right up! It starts and runs great, it smokes some on initial start/choke. Smokes a little under load. but performs perfect for my needs. The snow plow was an old Ebay item of hunk of metal rust that I shipped to CA from back East. I blasted and painted like new, and realized I had original serial # 150 Western Snow Plow! I spoke with a retired Western Engineer and he remember those first plows to come off the line, basically all hand built. that was fun talking to him. I spoke with current Western engineers, and they helped me engineer the upgrades to the plow. It now has full Hydrualics up/down and swivel. all new components and works great. The 1955 hard top was found in Sacramento CA and was blasted and painted with the body in 2008. Only surface rust, no major repairs required. I never finished installing windows in the top. I have the doors, but never finished restoring the rollup windows. The rig has a unique “Tuxedo” trim package front chrome bumper that is very cool. It has an original 1960s Smittlybuilt full cage. I installed new Bestop lowback front seats. I have the original heater parts, but never put it back in. I have used the Willys the last four years pushing snow around my cabin in Big Bear Lake, CA. Never had any issues with it. It always starts, and runs strong. It has origianl 60s mag wheels and four new all terain tires with chains. The rig has been garaged the last four years, only driven during the winter to push snow around the driveway and access roads. I usually keep it in 4-low, but I have occassionaly put in high gear to tootle around the neighborhood during the summer. it always turns heads and makes people smile. I would not recommend as a daily driver, but rather as a collectable conversation peice, and as a hell of a little work horse plow for a small property like mine. I had thoughts of going through the motor/rings to eleviate the smoking. but it runs so well, I never did it. I have had a great time with this rig, but it is time for me to move on to a new project. I know there are Jeep/Willys affectionados out there that will appreciate this little rig as much as me. Please let me know of any questions about it you may have. Really nice straight body/top. All metal . all original. I’m a big guy, and I did re-locate the driver seat back a few inches. other than that, she’s a stocker!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900.
This looks good.
“Restored 1951 M38 Willy’s Army Jeep – Ser. No. 24,675 MFG 9-51The M38 only had a two year production run, during which time only 62,329 were built (compared with the nearly 650 thousand MBs and GPWs build during WWII). Has several unique characteristics compared to the WWII jeep. First with 24 volt electrical system, first one piece windshield, first to have 7×16 tires instead of 6×16, last and best of flat fendered jeeps, last of the flat head 4 cylinder engines, first jeep with true fording capabilties(sealed sparkplugs and distributer) when equipped with a snorkel and tail pipe extension and of course the removable tailgate.
Though restored, this has been changed to a 12 volt system and does not have the sealed(water proof) plugs. So here is an M38 that not only looks good, but is road ready.”
