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 .
Needs batteries to start. The seller lists this as a M-38. It looks like a 1952 or early 53 M-38A1 with the hinged grille.
“Vehicle runs good, hasn’t been started since last spring, new top, all new brake system. Needs 2 new batteries sold as is. Has maryland title”

“For your consideration, a 1954? willys m38a1 for parts or restoration. Original paint and markings. Body is in fair condition, missing various interior components. Jeep has all drivetrain components present. Engine is untested, but is a military block and does turn over.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
(09/19/2012) Looks like the damage is to the passenger door and the cab.
“for sale 1960 fc170 jeep 4wd 10′ flat steel bed,buick v6 with edelbrock highrise intake &4barrel b&m shifter rabbitear automatic,runs and drives great,blue interior little dmg to right door serious inquiries ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $12,900.
This looks like a good restoration completed by Willys Jeep Restorations in Ohio. You can see the restoration process here. It appears a trailer is included in the sale.
“This Jeep and trailer were professionally restored by Bruce Uher with Willys Jeep Restoration. For complete history on this vehicle go to displayjeeps.com and select misc pictures and M38 for El Paso Tx, VFW Post pictures. You will not find a better jeep than this one. I have added a brand new top, new heavy duty starter and back packs for the back of the seats. The jeep had a complete tune up and everything was checked within the last 6 months.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Though there are a few things left to do on this jeep, it looks nicely refurbished.
“The new owner of this 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep will get to decide on the color and how much tint if any they want on the windshield glass. Those are about the only large items that need to be done yet. In addition, the new light harness needs to be installed and there are a few other minor items to be completed. All the big stuff is done. There is a new steel body sitting on an un-modified frame. It has new brakes, brake lines, NDT tires & tubes and exhaust system. It has a new battery and proper sized battery cables. The engine was professionally rebuilt as was the transmission/transfer case. Frame was cleaned and painted when the body was off. There is some very minor rust through on the rear cross member that is covered by the draw bar that comes with it. It runs well in both 2 & 4 WD. It is titled but not licensed so it has only been run on our property and a few back roads. I would guess the engine only has about 20 hours on it. Seats have new cushions and covers. Gauges and steering wheel are new. This CJ2A has been done correctly with no cut corners. It is being sold due to health issues that will not allow me to enjoy it when completed so the new owner may as well have their pick of color for it. There are many spare parts that will be included with the sale.”
Ran when parked . . .
“Sweet Willys with a “62 Buick V6 engine. Last run 2 years ago. $6K obo.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This looks like a great price!
“Selling a Jeep Willys FC-170 w/ a dump bed and w/ wide snow plow.
This jeep has a heavy duty dump bed and a heavy snow duty snow plow. The motor ran when we parked it a few years ago. We drove it to were it sits now. The engine did need a tuneup and potentially more. The dump bed was working off the motor driven hydraulics when we parked it as well as can be seen in the pictures.
Email us if you are interested or have questions about it.
There is also 2 other FC-170’s with different configurations (one is a flat bed, $500, and one is a utility bed, $800) that are for sale. $2,000.00 for all 3.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This looks solid

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/23/2012) It runs and drives, but has rust. It’s unusual to see a towbar on the front of a FC!
“Super Rare Jeep Forward Control 150.
Runs and drives, has current tag and inspection sticker.

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $15000.
(10/21/2012) If this is a 1941, it should have a squared gas tank and be a slatgrille. I did a search for a “General Ralph Pangonis”, but could only find a General William Pangonis, who supervised logistical operations during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(11/03/2012) This is worth a look. It’s clearly a CJ-3A and not a 3B.

This looks nice, it’s cleaned and painted with some care. But . . . here’s my thing . . .I guess when someone describes a jeep as “museum quality” and “pristine condition” I have certain expectations (despite some of the poor museum jeeps we’ve documented herein). So, if his were my museum piece, the lettering would be different on the hood (not marked 52-m38A1), the engine parts would not be all painted like they are here, and the steering column wouldn’t be off color (unless that’s a color option I didn’t know about). It also appears this should have the hinged grille, but the hinges are missing.
” This Jeep is in pristine condition and has been restored to museum quality inside and out by the Armed Forces History Museum. It includes a non-functional removable 30 caliber machine gun.”

I like this one. It has some early Civil Air Patrol stickers on it.
“1962 Jeep Willy Stretch M170 Ambulance. Government called for 6000 M170’s to be made. Production between 1953 and 1963. The government stopped production at 4155 M170’s, so I have been told by some sources that I have spoken with. The motor is a 4 cylinder F Hurricane Flathead 134. It has a 24 volt system, transmission is a T90. A model 18 transfer case and is equipped for a fording system. The jeep is all original and runs very good. There are no mechanical defects known. It is in good condition, even the tires are original. It was used in the Air Corps and still has original stickers and original Government plates (located under updated DMV plates.) Vehicle has a clear DMV title. No registration issues. The jeep has 32,288 miles on the engine as of date of listing. I drive it periodically to keep engine from sitting. It has a new rebuilt radiator, new water pump, new thermostat and housing and hoses. It also has a new master cylinder and fording spark plugs.”
This looks pretty good for the price.
“Nearly restored. New brakes, tires, paint, interior etc. Needs upholstering and jumps out of 3rd gear”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $17,995
This looks real nice, though for the price I’d expect the engine compartment to be more polished.
“This car is a real ‘head turner’! People love to see it on the street. We get a lot of waves and thumbs-up. The car starts immediately, runs smoothly and drives easily.
Chassis is solid with no rust. Body is in excellent condition. (Minor rust at the bottom of the driver’s door and the bottom of the tailgate – see photos.)
Great color combination with simulated “Woody” scheme.
This Willys Station Wagon is original and complete. Includes the rare rear seat which is often lost or removed from these older cars.
Although very nice, this is not a “concours” car. (I did, however, show it at the Marin-Sonoma Concours in 2011.) It’s a fun driver with a lot of curb appeal.
(It wouldn’t take too much to refine the car to ‘show car’ condition.)
