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 $1500.
There looks to be parts value here. The black one may have a frontward PTO sent.
“Both of these have been well used and don’t currently run.
1947 & 1948
One “L” head and one “F” head
Original set of wheels
2 windshields — no tops”
Includes an overdrive.
“Body is a bit rough but it has great potential. Runs with a Buick 6. It also has Saturn overdrive and goes highway speeds. It needs a brake job like most Willy’s.”

Seller lists the price at $20k, but I suspect that’s just a place holder.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.
(05/21/2017) Tail light wiring needs “sorting out”.
“This jeep is in great shape. It runs good and is very reliable. It was restored with new paint 10 years ago. It is a driver. Only issues is I have never bothered to sort out taillight wiring and the speedometer does not work. It has a new set of ndt tires and original wheels.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
Has a few updates.
“I hate to do this, but I’ve had an unexpected financial burden hit me and need to free up some cash…
I’m selling mt 1948 Willys CJ2a. It has a Buick Oddfire V6, T90 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 t-case. The rear axle is Dana 41 and front Dana 27, 4.38 gears. It has a set of worn 265/75/15 BFG All Terrains. I’ve rebuilt the seats with new foam and covers, have new seat pans that have yet to be installed. I rebuilt the rear brakes with new wheel cylinders and shoes and upgraded to disc brakes in the front. I have rebuilt the carb, it has new spark plugs. It fires up pretty easily and runs great. The exhaust was re-done, it’s a little cheesy but it works. It runs and drives pretty good as it, but needs a proportioning valve installed (which I have). The headlights work, the brake lights need work and don’t function at the moment. The frame is solid, but there is some hokey welding on it. Body is decent, but has a big rust hole in the passenger rear tub.
It’s a great little Willys that runs and drives as is, but needs some finishing (prop. valve) and minor tinkering from there to be a fun play Flatty. I really hate to sell it, wouldn’t if I didn’t need cash.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(05/14/2017) Seller is moving and can’t take it with him.
“I purchased a ’46 Willy’s from a friend in hopes of enjoying it for a summer. I ended up having to do some work on it and didn’t get to use it. I’m moving in the near future and cannot take it with me. I’m asking less than what I have into it. Since I purchased it I have put in a new fuel pump and filter, new carburetor, new battery and replaced multiple wires and fuel lines as well. I have the original collector plates and also new WA plates that still have yet to be installed. This will be a fun rig for someone this spring and summer.”
https://spokane.craigslist.org/cto/6197289691.html
It’s a project.
“Selling my Willys Jeep project. It was on here before, but all the calls wanted to hear it run. I did a lot of work to get it running, including a starter overhaul, relay, battery, and wiring.
It runs, but acts like the main jet is clogged. It idles well, but doesn’t have much power. I don’t have a kit or the time to rebuild it.
Starts with the key. Alternator works, but no indication, as I didn’t put in the ammeter or voltmeter. Has oil pressure. Everything in the brakes was replaced. Cylinders (wheel and master), lines, and shoes. NO PARKING BRAKE. New radiator and hoses. Turn signals added, but not wired. NO TITLE. 4WD and transfer case all work. Has the 3 lever transmission setup. 3 speed manual. Engine is the 4 cylinder flathead.
This jeep IS NOT a candidate for restoration. The frame and body are mostly held together with poorly done welding. It has poorly welded in floorboards. You won’t fall through. The front frame horns do not exist. No tailgate. I do have 3 of the 16 inch wheels.
Can’t find any numbers on the frame or body, but I do have a set of military dataplates I will include. This Jeep needs to leave on a trailer. It is not ready to be driven on the road.
I’ll reduce the price by $500 if it doesn’t start when you come to look at it.’

This ran when parked, but no longer has a battery (or at least a good battery), so in its present state it doesn’t not run and drive (it might with a battery). The body is fiberglass.

The jeep has a Koenig PTO winch, dualmatic hubs, and a vintage kaoline tire carrier on the back. Not sure how much value is there beyond that.
“Willys has been parked for about 15 years.
It is pretty rusty. It was parked because ,while spinning the tires in 4wd , something broke and seized the tires from rolling. While dragging it home ,the tires broke free.So it now rolls freely . Up to that point, when I drove it 15 years ago , the Ford 6 cylinder ran fine and the PTO winch worked very well. I have not tried to fix or diagnose it . Clean title ..”

“I have a 1948 willys jeep with clean title. The jeep was painted about 20 years ago and has very minimal rust. Jeep has been in garage or carport forever. It’s not running right now but I’m planning on getting it running. I think it just needs new plug wires. Should be something simple. These keeps are so easy to work on. It also has brand new soft top and door for it and extra rims. Awesome little jeep and will start and drive once I get a chance to spend a few hours on it.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9750.
Looks like a good build. I wonder if that’s a custom radiator. Looks like it ought to keep the engine cool.
“This is a very rare original 1960s California hot rod. 1955 Chevy 265 V8 purchased in 1962. I have the original bill of sale. It has vintage WW2 correct Olive Drab paint and vintage painted stencils! It has an original WW2 Jeep frame, original WW2 windshield, and many other military specific parts.
This Jeep was built right! A 1957 Thunderbird Holley carb that has been completely rebuilt. It has an early 1960s Ford steering column and master cylinder, a handmade custom roll bar and optional rear seat. It features real military aircraft seat belts!
This great Jeep has been inspected from bumper to bumper and ALL parts have been repaired or replaced! It is ready to go! New gas tank, windshield gaskets and interior gauges. Fog lights were originally sourced from a farm tractor!
It has the original transmission and heavy duty Dana 44s so top speed is about 60mph. This transmission also has a rare Borg Warner overdrive attached. It was disconnected when the transmission was rebuilt a few years ago. The military blackout light and parking brake has not been wired up. This is a 1st year Chevrolet V8 engine with a rare 1955 Corvette intake and valve covers! The engine purrs like a kitten and doesn’t smoke at all or use oil!
It has a very small amount of oil and transmission fluid seepage when warmed up but that is completely normal for these Jeeps. It drives wonderfully with lots of power, very few rattles, shifts smoothly and has a functional 1940s siren.
This original California car is in outstanding 1960s condition. The OD paint of many many years ago is beautifully aged with a great old school look! The only rust that can be seen is in the hat channels under the body. This is extremely common due to the wood inserts and has no effect on the safety of the Jeep. The floors and body are solid! The back rear corners have some small dents and a bit of rust near the taillights. Amazing condition for a Willys that has never been restored or removed from it’s frame!
A shy person shouldn’t drive this Jeep! Be ready to have many people wave and stop you to talk.
Also several extra parts come with the Willys. A Coca-Cola picnic cooler, the original steering column, and several cool military tools and vintage fire extinguishers.
This Jeep is being sold As Is with No warranty. Many documents and receipts are included back to 1962! I can help with shipping but payment in full must clear first. Ask your family before you buy as all purchases are final.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7995
(08/15/2015) It appears to be a VEC.
