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 $800.
Runs and drives.
“1946 Willys Jeep. Runs and drives. 6 cylinder Ford engine. Pictures tell the story. Great project for restoration or for a parts vehicle. $800.00 contact me for more details.”

UPDATE **SOLD** Was $995.
It’s project. Was a Forestry Department vehicle.
“Mostly complete. Will need a complete restoration or would make a good parts vehicle to complete a restoration already in progress. It has frame rust on divers side but it could be repaired. The transmission moves freely. The motor is in unknown condition and will not turn. At one time this jeep was in a forestry department (shield and numbers visible). What is shown in pictures is all that is available & reflect condition.
I have kept this jeep for 4 years and have not had time to restore her. $995 cash – I am not flexible on price and am not looking for a nostalgic conversation. Please only contact me if you are seriously interested, I know this Jeep will move quickly. I have paperwork but no title since its an antique car, can provide a bill of sale.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
(06/19/2019) This is listed as a 1946, but the serial number (100385) suggests this is a 1947.
“I have a 1946 Willys Jeep that I would like to sell for $3300. It needs some work, but it does run and drive and titled in PA as a vintage vehicle. In addition to the vehicle, I also have extra parts and an extra T90 transmission and Dana18 transfer case. The vehicle was bought originally as a project, but like almost all these ads, got way too out of hand with a lot of stuff happening in my life (graduating college, getting a job, moving, etc..). However, I would like this Willys to go to someone who would really appreciate its worth and hard work that has been put into it.
Off the bat, somethings that need to be worked on are mainly cosmetic with the body tub rusting in places and windshield missing the glass (I have windshield parts and seals). In addition, the transmission leaks sometimes, depending on the weather, which leads me to seals. Seats for these things are hard to come by (I have been trying to keep it OE), but the office chairs are there so the driver doesn’t just sit on the gas tank. Newer wheels would also be nice but the tubes are new with valves. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4600.
Appears to have some Allstate hubs, but I can’t tell for certain.
“For sale is a 1946 post WW2 “Freedom” CJ-2A Willys Jeep. Deer camp compatriot. Is in venerable condition. Has run in recent years. Needs attention and repair.”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $15,500.
(02/13/2017) Seller notes this was used in an episode called Swamp, part of the Dirty Rotten Survival series on the National Geographic channel.
“1946 Willys Jeep. This jeep was in a National Geograpic Movie, call Dirty Rotten Survival, swamped.
It was filmed down south in the swamps. I have the lease agreement and video of delivery of jeep.
My dad did a frame off restoration on this jeep 7 or 8 yrs ago. It runs like new. Everything is rebuilt or new. Has original 4 cyliner jeep engine. Asking 15k or best offer.”

Runs well and is all there for what ever custom touches you want to finish yourself. This is a rock crawler not a highway queen so don’t expect it to drive like one. Radiator has a pinhole leak but besides that every thing is good to go.
$7,500 cash or trade. Just seeing what is out there. Let me know what you have.”

It’s a project.
“WE HAVE THIS 1942 WILLYS JEEP FOR SALE. THIS JEEP WILL NEED A TOTAL RESTORATION. THE LAST TIME IT WAS RUNNING WAS IN 1967, HOWEVER THE ENGINE IS NOT ORIGINAL. THIS RESTORATION WOULD BE A REAL CHALLENGE FOR THE RESTORER.”

“This Jeep is a perfect project for the right person. We need to get it gone by Wed.”
Mike spotted this collection of jeeps for sale.
https://willysforsale.com/ads/willys-jeep-collection
“I have acquired a collection of 10 Willys Jeeps from my WWII Veteran friend that passed away. Most of the Willys Jeeps would be great parts Jeeps or even good candidates for full restorations. The collection can be sold as a package for a discount or the vehicles can be sold separately.
I have two 1943 Willys MB’s. The first was a army parade vehicle. Excellent condition. The second MB has had the T-84 transmission overhauled along with a new clutch and the general restoration is half done.
The other models available are a 1947 CJ-2A, 1948 CJ-2A, 1950 CJ-3A, 1963 CJ-3B along with several others.”
It’s ready for some cruising.
