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 $4850.
For a ‘fully restored’ jeep, this doesn’t look particularly clean. But, it might be solid.
“Fully Restored 1949 CJ2A entire drive train has been restored, body restoration, 4 new Tires. Driven daily in the summer, moving must sell.”
This might be in good shape.
“Rare condition, straight body, original paint, oak floor boards, 4 cyl running Willys Jeep Overland. With a little restoration it can become your tailgate party pride and joy. For more information, email or call 360-832-3166.”

“1946 Willys CJ2A. Running, complete, original, clear title, with current registration. With an extra L-engine and new, uninstalled Best Top
Done: Engine compartment cleaned, fresh fluids, block painted gray, new battery, new fuel pump installed, rebuilt carb installed, recored radiator, new muffler, and new 6v ignition and hose sets installed. Cleaned and painted the gas tank too. Body is straight, frame is straight. No major rust. Only major hole is at the bottom of the toolbox.
Needed: New tires (I have all 5 OEM wheels), new brakelines, connect the brakelight, install seatbelts (or not), connect the fuel gauge, get the wiper working, and new seals along the drive and prop lines. Doing all this will make a safer vehicle, but not change the way it drives, which is fine. Then new front seat cushions and covers, adding a rear bench, and installing the BestTop (that I have) or not, and anything else cosmetic.
A real straight unaltered (sloppy paint on top of the original farm green) flat-fender Willys.
All offers of $3000 or better considered. Happy to answer any questions.”

“Jeep FC-170 (forward control) 4WD truck with flatbed. engine is a inline 6 cylinder, manual transmission. Needs work to get this unit running and driving.

This is a non running project unit so don’t call and ask me stupid questions like if it can be driven home. the answer is NO…bring a trailer to pick it up.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $4500.
I’ve never seen fold-down seats in a jeep. I could see the practicality of that.

“Up for sale is a 1963 Willys Universal Jeep with only 20,595 miles. This is a 2 owner Jeep with a Hurricane 4 Cyl engine and famous 4 wheel drive. The drive train is in very good condition and a new Fuel Pump, Carburator, and master cyl. have been installed. The tires are like new.
This jeep was bought new by the Antioch, Ill volunteer fire department and was used to fight grass and brush fires for years. Please see the picture of a similarily equipped jeep in this add and a period advertisement for the unit. A member of the fire department purchased this jeep and has owned it for many years. It has been carefully housed in Florida for some time and was only used as transportation to the Fort Myers Beach. There are a couple of pictures showing some minor body rust spots.
This is your chance to own a classic Jeep in very good operating condition. With some minor body work, it will clearly make someone an excellent piece of automotive history.
The successful buyer is responsible for transportation expense from Fort Myers Fl. The seller will accept a cashier’s check or cash on or before delivery of the unit. A deposit of $1000 is required within 5 working days of the close of the auction. The balance will be due prior to transport and transfer of title.

“I have a 1948 CJ2a in need of some restoration efforts. It is a very original example with low original miles (approx 30,000. It has mostly sat unused and needs work to get it on the road again. Floors are extermely solid with no previous welding or repairs. The jeep is very stock with all original fittings present. It has the stock gauges, electrical, seat frames, fan shrouds carb etc etc even the battery cables and license plate holder are orignal. I have a clear 1952 oregon title. It has spark, and it will fire with some gas in the carb. The headlights and marker lights work. Its a very original example worthy of further restoration but I simply have too many projects to give it the attention it deserves. If you want to restore an original cj2a – this is a great start.
New parts (in the last week)
-brand new 6 volt battery
-new plugs, wires, condensor, cap
-new wheel cylinders (not installed) and brake hoses”
Lots of work has been done.

UPDATE: SOLD. Was on eBay.
“Note to bidders: Due to the nature of the vehicles that we sell on eBay (Rare, restored, unique, exotic, etc), many of our vehicles are purchased before the end of the auction. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN OWNING THIS TRUCK, DO NOT WAIT…Email or call with your offer and we will work with you to get a deal done.
You are bidding on a very nicely restored 1952 Willys M38 Jeep. These trucks were specially prepared for military service in Korea and outfitted with many special features that set them apart from your regular Willys. And this one is even more special…read on…
The M38s have some cool features, check them out:
-Side mounted Shovel and Axe
-Accessible Battery Box on Cowl
-Dash Mounted Radio Connections
-Dual Fuel Tanks with Dash Mounted Switch
-Glovebox
-Headlight Guards
-Heavy Duty Frame and Suspension (Semi-Floating Dana 44 Rear Axle)
-Rear Auxiliary Gas Tank Mount
This Willys M38 no longer wears its military colors and it has been tastefully upgraded with the following:
-$1700 recently spent to sandblast and paint entire body (have receipt) NO RUST OR BONDO ON THIS TRUCK!
-Buick 235c.i. “Fireball” V-6 Motor Conversion
-Warn Overdrive – May have been original to the truck but this is not known for sure.
-Brand new top and doors from Bestop
This Willys retains much of its originality (even has 5 original steel wheels!) but has been modified with the paint, motor and top. This is a piece of history that can be driven every day.
There are lots of CJs and Jeeps out there for sale…why not own a rare one with a story to tell? Very few of these actually made it back from Korea and even fewer are in daily driver condition. This truck needs nothing but a new owner to put it on the road.
International Buyers: We have sold and shipped vehicles all over the world and have happy customers in Europe, Australia, Japan and the Middle East. Need a reference in your country or a shipping quote? Feel free to ask. We can assist with the transport to your home port as well as the required export/import paperwork.”
