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 $14,000.

“I’ve got a mostly original Willys M38a1. Very good condition and always kept in the garage. Great for cruising around town and I always get complimen’s when filling it up. Runs and drives great, but I don’t get the chance to drive it much anymore. It’s got the 4 cylinder engine with the 3 speed manual and twin stick 4×4 transfer case.
Backseat, and all buckles, and about 75% tread on the tires.
12 volt conversion.
It has the blackout light, but is not hooked up.
Missing the emergency brake cable.
Shifts smooth, but you have to double clutch from first to second. It’s done that since I got it, I’ve never fixed it because it doesn’t bother me. Does not grind. Might be a good winter project for somebody with more time, or just do what I did!
Engine rebuilt by a professional shop, I have the receipts. It does drip a little oil though, nothing major.
The odometer reads 1,876.
The pictures should give you a pretty good idea of the condition, if interested in taking a look, please give me a call or text or shoot me an email and I will get back to you ASAP!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(01/04/2015) Looks solid.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Original flathead four-cylinder engine, manual transmission, manual steering and brakes. It has been converted to 12V electronics. The engine was recently rebuilt and a lot of the wiring has been redone. The jeep comes with two sets of tires. One set is for Highway/rode use. The other set is for off-road use. This is a great little Jeep with a clear Arizona title. Come drive it home.”
UPDATE: Was $12,500 **SOLD**
(02/10/2015) Sounds like this might have some interesting history.
“Up for sale is my 1943 Willys MB army jeep. It was motor pool refurbished by a WWII veteran and friends. I bought it from his son after he passed on. When I bought it I cleaned the fuel tank and lines and installed a new fuel pump. It runs okay but the engine needs a tune up. Brakes work good. Transmission runs quietly, but shifts poorly from 1st to second, and back. Tub was rusty but repaired. Needs new wiring, and generator rebuilt. Lights don’t work. Have speedometer and other gauges, but aren’t in great shape. Needs shocks. Comes with new NDT tires. Also have 5 combat wheels that go with it. This jeep has lots of extras. Clear open title. Reenactment quality. $12,500. I like to trade, but don’t ask unless you have a delorean or clean jeep wrangler /sahara that is paid for. Price is firm, I don’t have to sell. Don’t need a job, or help selling it. As always, local pickup and cash only. Serious inquiries only”
Good looking jeep with lots of new parts. The VIN isn’t quite right, so it may not be a 1946.

“I purchased this couple of years ago and have replaced & rapaired many things. This 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A is in great mechanical order. This starts and drives great. Everything works including the Vacumn Wipers. The boby is in overall good condition with some small dings on tailgate, Front fenders, and has some rust though on drivers side floor pan it is about 1” in diameter which could be easily fixed. This also has original 1946 YOM California plates. This was originally owned by a farmer in the Sacramento are and has used for Hunting & Camping.
Appears in good shape. Not the most useful pics.

“1950 Willy’s M38. NOT RUNNING. All parts are there though. I bought it from the gentleman who brought it home from the Korean War after he served his time and bought it from the military. Clean title, in my name. My plan was to rebuild it (as I have done with a previous CJ2a) but other time commitments take priority. Engine turns over, as do the wheels. Not shown in the photos are the seats, gas tank, rear bench seat, windshield/glass and some other parts.”

“I have a 1962 Jeep Willy’s CJ6. Has a new rebuilt original 4 cylinder motor. (F134, I believe it was also called the Hurricane motor). Just picked it up from the mechanic today. Has a fairly recent tranny rebuild. It was rebuilt approx. 2 yrs ago. I would say less than 5K on the rebuild tranny. It would be a good daily driver or a great start to a complete restore. Body is in decent shape. The person I bought it from evidently used some putty to fill in some areas and it is starting to pull off. Pictures show the areas. I have the seat for the back but I was starting to fix some body areas and pulled it out along with the carpet. It also has a decent sound system, currently dismantled at the moment because I needed to build boxes for the speakers. It has a pto driven winch. Its a 3 speed with a splitter. 4X4 with locking hubs. Custom made front and rear bumper. As always have way more invested than what I am asking. In case you are wondering, because CJ6 aren’t very common, it is similar to the CJ5 except it has a 20″ longer wheel base. Any questions feel free to ask.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500.

This may be a good price. Might not take much to make it look even better.
“1953 M38A1 Military Jeep in nice condition.
I have owned this Jeep for around 20 years. Around 4 years ago, I had the dents and dings taken out, primed and painted by a local auto-body shop. I did not have them fully disassemble the jeep as that would have been a little too pricey for me. As such, the more hidden areas (like under the fuel tank) are not painted in Army green, nor was the underside of the vehicle. The paint was researched by the Surplus outfit in Oroville and that is where I purchased it. I have a gallon of it left for touch-ups or doing what was not done before.
There are several military gizmos still on the Jeep: It has a pintle hitch, the small black-out lights below the headlights, the canvas-bow brackets mounted on the side, several placards (in brass) showing the serial number, etc, several tie downs for a top and the shovel bracket under the hood.
The floors are (amazingly) rust free and the tool chest beneath the passenger seat is intact with only a small bit of rust. There is a bullet hole in the floor of the tool chest (?) that was there when I purchased it, but not in the lid. It’s something you can ponder over with your friends.
The Jeep needs a thorough ‘going-through’ to check and replace seals where necessary.
The bottom canvas on both front seats need to be replaced but the remainder is quite serviceable.
There is a rear seat bench, painted-to-match of the correct type and the canvas is there.
All 4 tires are military-type and show very little (if any) wear. There is a spare wheel and military-type tire or serviceable but older vintage. There is a painted-to-match roll that just hasn’t been re-installed after the painting.
The jeep starts, idles, runs and drives. I believe the engine (a 4 cylinder) is original and has a new fuel pump and tune-up around 3 years ago. The battery is old, but it starts and the lights work. It has been converted to 12V. The battery well is funky and could use some protective coating.
The speedometer, water temp and oil pressure appear to work. The fuel gauge does not.
This auction takes place Friday, February 6, in Stockton.

It’s supposed to have only $10,000 miles. Has a Texaco logo. Maybe an ex-service station jeep?
