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 .

Seems to be sitting a little heavy in the front, but that could be the way it’s parked. It’s not been restored to stock specs (brake lights and front parking lights for example), but it looks perfect for a parade or having fun.

Looks solid and stock. Has small amount of hat channel rust.
“For sale is by far the nicest most solid original Willys I’ve ever owned. This would be an excellent candidate for a restoration project because sheet metal work would be minimal. I included a pic of the worst rust in the Jeep in the hat channel under the fuel tank. It starts, runs, drives and stops great. It still has the original 6 volt charging system. The steering is still tight. The brakes work great and the fuel tank is brand new. I would call it 95% original and had to be stored inside most of its life. I tried to leave the body alone so you can see what you are getting. Clean TN title in my name. $4700 Serious calls only please no texts.”

“RUNS GREAT, NEW TIRES, READY TO DRIVE HOME! M38 MILITARY JEEP”
http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/4621023647.html
UPDATE: Was $6500. *SOLD*
It’s had some recent work.
“For sale is a 1952 former USMC Willys M38A1 Jeep. This Jeep was, until last year, used at a deer hunting ranch behind Mt. Hamilton for the last 40 years. It was painted in orange until last fall when I put it back in olive drab. It has the correct Hurricane 4 cylinder engine and runs fine. I tuned it up and replaced the exhaust manifold. The seats are new, as is the glass, tires, rims, turn signals, tail lights and bikini top. The body isn’t perfect, but what do you want for a 62 year old veteran?! All gauges, except the speedometer work. She ain’t fast but is a hoot driving around town with the windshield down. Perfect for a weekend ride or ranch property. $6500″
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Runs and drives.

(01/14/2013) This might be worth a look, since I don’t see too much rust. I like the upgraded data plates: duct tape with black ink.
“This is a old 46 CJ2A motor ran when parked in shed over 8 years ago. It is not seized. Tires are junk but are there to roll the jeep onto a trailer. Comes with an extra set of gears body needs work.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3600
Hasn’t been run in six years, but looks like it would be a good restoration project.
“Solid Willys CJ-3A Title and keys available. Motor will run hasnt been run in about 6 years ( will need Battery) Has been stored indoors its whole life except for the last two months. Any questions feel free to ask.”
Before restoration began on this CJ-3A This has a Blue Star hardtop.
After Restoration (and with his wife Lauren posing in front of it)
The CJ-3A in the top photo was listed on eWillys back on August 30th, 2012. It looked pretty sound to me, but according to buyer and restorer Scott Mills, a mountain of bondo was underneath the paint. Beautiful work Scott!
He writes, “I found this 49cj3a on your site 2 years ago- after sanding and a little blasting I found that someone used what seemed like 10lbs of body filler and rivets! As many of my purchases go, buyers remorse plagued me for months! Well, I replaced panels and spent hours hammering out the tub. The only splurge was a new hood and stock rims, I managed to save most everything else. My wife has a fashion blog here in Houston and used my Cj3a in this recent post:
Here is the Jeep before I cut out 50% of the tub, it looked great in these photos, little did I know…”
ANOTHER POST RESTORATION PIC (SEE MORE RESTORATION PICS HERE):

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850
This photo looks photoshopped a bit, but I liked it just the same. The trailer is not for sale. The paint on the hood is peeling.
“1949 Willys Station Wagon. This is a sweet old 2wd Willys Wagon that is a fun car to own. Most of the early Willys Wagons had a small 4 cylinder engine, but this is a rare one with the 6 cyl. It also has a working overdrive, so it does a little better on the road. It has a recent new battery, and the previous owner said that he went throw the brakes. It runs nice and cool, even in the hot weather.
This summer, I have been driving it just about every day, but I’m sure most people would want to do a complete restoration on it. I’ve never taken it on long trip, just 50 – 100 miles or so. Like any old car, it needs attention to lots of little things. The brake lights only work when they want to, The old vacuum wipers work….unless your going up a steep hill, and the front floor has been patched very badly, and should be redone.”
This was an Air Force jeep. Maybe it has a government plate?
“For Sale …..Stock 1955 willys jeep this is a 90% complete project needs minor things done to he completed. It has the Ohv 4 cylinder engine . it is retired military ( air force) . asking $4200 will consider trades for older diesel car or truck . call”
