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 $6000.
It looks like this sat outside for a while, rusting.
“Posting a 1945 WWII Jeep project jeep. Tub is restore-able, gages are in good condition, everything sealed, transported last month from Texas. Email me at cashcrow2052 at gmail.com for questions, specific pictures, or a meeting on purchasing a WWII Willys jeep. $6000 Or best offer.”
It is dirty, but is it rusty?
“This is a restore gem right here. I have had for many years but don’t have the time, money or drive to restore it like it deserves. For a project it would make a great rig. Body and everything is in fair shape for what it is. You can reach me at email or two/0/eight/6/nine/9/seven/9/four/2.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6250
(11/01/2012) Not sure about the rear bumper, but everything else looks good.
“Runs good, drives good, looks good. 4-wheel drive, high/low range, 4 cyl f-head engine. 30k original miles. New shocks, tie rod ends, newish tires, 3.5 inch lift, converted to 12 volt, recent brake overhaul including all wheel cylinders, lines as well as shoes, rebuilt carb, new wiring, refurbished wooden flooring etc. All fluids recently changed, no rust and recent repaint, clean inside and out and underneath. Ready to go to a new home.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks nice enough, but if you look at the pic under the driver’s side it has a piece of channel welded to a body mount. That seemed odd to me.
“Wow its very hard to call any Military truck a NUMBER ONE,but this stunning 1954 Willys M38A1 is pretty close, they never even left the factory like this! You could eat your dinner off of her and with a RUST FREE body and 11,366 miles from new she is very rare too! So in the spirit of a real auction she is for sale at NO RESERVE! But because quality always makes good money, she will not go cheap, but you will love showing her! Find another show worthy 1954 M38A1 that will actually get a new owner at the end of auction!!!! BID NOW! Its your only chance!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
This looks in good shape.
“This is a 95% restored 1953 M38-A1. It cranks, runs, and drives like a new one. The body is perfect. All it needs to be 100% is new canvas seat cushions, top, and top bows. Come and drive it and you’ll be hooked. For a nearly 60 year old vehicle, it is amazing. I am asking $7500.00 or interesting trade”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This might be worth a look.
“Outstanding project 99% complete only missing fuel tank. Motor was rebuilt at one time but it has sat for a few years now so will need work. email or call for more info.”
How about that great first picture? Love it!

Fred spotted this nice looking truck. This listing includes ALOT of good quality pics.
“This is a true TIME CAPSULE! Sold with the original title and registration from Oregon do not miss your chance to own a piece of history. This truck comes from the original family that owned it when purchase in 1955 in Oregon. Used originally as a forest service truck to pull out redwoods this machine is a torque monster. Having personally driven this truck I can say it is without a doubt one of the best running WIllys out there. Do not mess around with custom 350 conversions this original straight 6 Super Hurricane engine is up for anything.
Only carrying 90,000 miles the engine runs like new and without ANY hesitation. Fires right up everytime and will take you down the road with its 3 speed manual transmission at 55 all day long. The truck could literally be used as a museum piece, car show winner, or a daily driver. Use it to promote your business or store it in your Willys collection, this truck is AMAZING!
-Original 90,000 Mile SUPER HURRICANE Engine
-Fully functional 3 speed manual trans and 4 wheel lock out hubs
-100% Functional Gauge cluster and speedo (look almost new)
-Fully functional heater and thermostat
-New All terrain Tires
-Original Spare
-Tape player installed in glove box (not a cut up dash unit!)
-Original special order Kleenex Box form Willys still full with the ORIGINAL kleenex!!
This truck really is an amazing piece of history. Only thing on the truck that is NOT original is the interior which was updated in the 80’s as well as the tape player in dash. The truck is 100% rust free and has only sat in a climate controlled garage for the last 20 years keeping it in like new condition. Used 3 times a year to pull floats in parades the truck has been ran and kept in excellent condition making it one the cleanest and best running ORIGINAL Willys in existence.
Will be sold with original:
-Oregon Title
-Registration
-1955 Oregon Plate
-Full write up in Collector Truck Magazine”

This includes a rear PTO. Looks like a good price despite needing a little work.
“1962 Willys Jeep. Easily restoreable . No visible rust, runs well, original 4 cyl engine, few owners, titled. Has full windshield frame. Good seats & interior. Needs brakes. Worn tires & PTO needs work and crack in windshield glass. But it’s in fine shape for an antique! Must see!”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was listed at $3490.
Serial number 14984.

The car is unmolested, very original, very little rust.

Try to take some pictures today.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
(06/10/2012) This looks in good shape.
“1952 Willys, 4 new tires, working gauges, 3 speed, no top but have support bars to put on top, no doors, seats 4 with seat belts, brakes and engine in good condition, stored and covered in garage in winter, unique features: machine gun mounting holes, ammunitions box, original tire for spare. Fun to drive with lots of stares, compliments, and comments. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The starting bid is only $3500. This appears in good shape to me (but I know little about these).
“These Include: I added Round Metal Mirrors, Relocated tail light and license plate mount, Made Backing plate for Rear trunk lid, Fashioned / Made the wooden floor boards “Duck Boards”, Fashioned Screw Type windshield fold-down pin handles, Added Door seals and Windshield to Dash seal, Painted the steering wheel and All Shiny bolts that were showing, Installed new NAPA ignition switch, Installed new NAPA Horn button, Installed a new Coil, Changed the distributor (old one was electronic and troublesome) Fuel Filter, Air Filter, Oil and Filter, Changed gear oil, Added the front tow rope, Added Shovel, Made Headlight Covers, Added the graphics and Markings of Rommel’s 21’st PANZER DIVISION / DAK or Deutsch Afrika Korps WWII with Palm Tree but Deleted the Swastika for obvious reasons.
* Graphics / Markings are either vinyl self stick OR Spray painted stencils. Either way, Graphics are easily removable with Acetone if desired *
I had the Engine removed and Transmission / Engine seals replaced by a professional Antique VW repair facility because I saw gear oil on the floor of the barn. Some say old VW’s mark their territory by leaking oil but this one does not.
KUBELWAGEN has a 1974 – 1600CC / 58HP Engine < #AE 946851 > that purrrrrs and a 1965 Beetle Chassis < Vin#145304936 >
It is Titled in NJ as a 1965 VW KUB CON (meaning Kubelwagen Convertible). It was titled by me on June 7th this year. I have driven it about 300 Miles to shows and around town. It WILL go 70 MPH but I drive it at 45-50 MAX and laugh as people drive around me.
The Mileage shown on the Working ODOMETER is from a Donor Car and is 52,748 – This is NOT actual but is the number used for title purposes. The Actual mileage this car has traveled in it’s current configuration since being built is estimated at 400. That would be prior owner who completed car 100 Miles ESTIMATED and MY personal ESTIMATE of 300 for a total of 400 ESTIMATED miles.
The car is a 2 DOOR in Suicide configuration to open backwards.
It has single element Headlights meaning NO HIGH BEAMS.
It has a Working GAS gauge, Speedometer, Odometer and Oil pressure gauges that DO NOT Light Up. I believe they have bulbs and can light up but do not at this time. I don’t think they are wired to light up.
It has a Push Button on the dashboard that energizes the Alternator to charge the battery.”
This is an early one. It may be a good restoration candidate.
“1945 Willys CJ2A #10277 Column Shift, tool dents a rare find. Needs restoration. ran when it was stored last year.”
http://nh.craigslist.org/cto/3437660593.html
A divorce forces this sale, but the seller takes the time to note that there is a high mileage wife on the market now.
“1945 Willys MB. This is pretty much a new build on a 1945 frame and wheels. I bought it as a beautiful looking civilian rebuild (see the picture in glossy red). The prior owner did most of the mechanical rebuild. I “remilitarized” it and replaced several mechanical components he didn’t. The engine is a rebuilt unit (I think it’s a 2A, it has ribs on the head). The T84 transmission and transfer case are rebuilt (with no leakage). It has an overdrive. I don’t know if the overdrive is a rebuilt unit or new (it looks new, does Warn still make them?). Clutch components are all new. The brake system is new from backing plates to master cylinder. Has locking front hubs. The steel is new from bumper to bumperetts: Body, bumper, gussets, windshield frame, seat frames, fuel tank and bumperetts, new springs and shackles. The underside, floor and rear bed have a rhino coat type finish (I don’t know the brand) it will never rust. The wiring harness is almost all correct cloth covered wires, the lights all work, the tail lights are both the type with a brake light for safety. I replaced the water pump and starter last week, battery, fuel pump and a professionally rebuilt carburetor before that (the choke, hand throttle and idle speed combination are a bit touchy while warming up). All 5 tires have minimal wear and look brand new. I replaced the steering components from box (professionally rebuilt) to button. I replaced all the military parts; paint (there is an epoxy coat under it applied by the prior owner, again it will never rust), windshield wipers, pioneer tools & straps, safety straps, seat cushions, crash pads, top, top bows and hardware, safety chains (a detail almost always missing on a rebuild), exhaust system, shocks, spare tire foot and fire extinguisher bracket. The fire extinguisher and tire pump are originals. The M48 dash machine gun mount and pintle are new units, I made the cradle. The Browning model 1919 30 cal. machine gun and carbine are resin copies (Ebay censers, they never did and never can be made to fire!!!!!!!). You can not fit an M1 rifle with an M48 mount, the right side windshield clamp doesn’t fit very well. My MA tile says 65,540 miles when purchased (I presume that was the actual milage before the speedo was replaced by prior owner). My divorce expenses force me to sell the Willys (anyone want a cute, short, very aggressive, high mileage wife ?). I can not provide a warrantee (Jeep or wife). $500 deposit via paypal within 24 hours of winning bid. Final payment by bank check (cleared) prior to going on trailer, or cash at pick up. I can help arrange shipping. The Jeep can be seen any time in Lexington MA.”
