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 .
Very little to go on with this ad. The hardtop is most likely a Sears (but there are others).

It has a clean title out of the system.

You will need a trailer it is not legal to be towed

“A project I will never see finished. Runs. The running gear is out of 69 Jeep so it is a 231 odd fire Buick/Jeep motor.
The motor has double valve springs with a Holley 4 Barrel. The carb is rebuilt from Holley. During our ownership we disassembled the motor and replaced all the gaskets.
The tub has new floors in the front, the back is clean. The inside and underside has a bed liner nice clean look. Has a roll bar Smitty.

“Up for sale is a 1947 CJ2A willys jeep. It’s completely stock as far as can be told and has some extras with it as well. This jeep would make a great restoration project or a parts jeep. It’s about 75% restorable right now. Front floor boards and tool box under passenger seat are rusted out and would need replacing and still has the original seats as well. Hood, fenders, grill, windshield frame and tailgate are in pretty good to great shape as well as the frame which is in top notch condition. The engine is the 134 four cylinder and would need a rebuild but isn’t locked up. Turned it over with a wrench a few times and had it hitting with some ether but it has electrical issues somewhere. All in all its a great jeep for a project and deserves to be out on the road again. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to deal with it due to another willys project I’m working on. So if your interested just email, call or text me any time and leave a message if need be but I will get back to you. I won’t take scrap price on it but it’s all negotiable.”

“Hi, I am selling a 1948 Willys Jeep CJ3A in good condition. It has no rust throughs, the drivetrain works as it should, and everything works. It shows 51,XXX miles on the odometer, and yes both the odometer and speedometer work so I believe it is the original mileage. This Willys was inspected by a good mechanic who works on CJ2A and CJ3A machines and he thought the frame was good and overall one of the nicest unrestored models he has ever seen.
This is a great Sunday drive / cabin / hunting / off road machine for less than the cost of a new Rhino or ATV and still has some character! All parts are available for these machines, and because they are not-so-complicated you can do most everything yourself. Use this one “as is” for a long time, or restore to parade condition without too much trouble. Look at the value of fully restored Willys and expect to see $15,000-$25,000 price tags.
This Willys has spent most of its life on a Montana ranch, so no salt and thus no rust. The last 12 years or so it has been in northern Minnesota cabin Lake country. It can be seen by appointment near Fortune Bay Casino on Lake Vermilion. Note that I do have a dual axle car hauler trailer and also willing to sell it. For $10,000 tow the Willys and the trailer home behind your truck. Or, delivery by the seller is possible. Will consider a barter deal
This is the nicest Willys of its kind that I have seen within 500 miles of Minneapolis in the last several years, thanks for looking and please do drop an e-mail if interested and we will talk very soon. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4950

(05/07/2013) This seems to be missing a driver’s side hood clamp near the front fender.

Here’s another body that’s a hybrid CJ-5-flattie. Appears to have an MB/GPW windshield.
“this 1951 Willy’s was a gift for my wife. it has had over $3500.00 worth of parts and labor done to it. new transmission tires rims all new brakes on and on!! it has classic plates and tags. so when you put some tail lights on it you can drive it on the road. it need some seats ! the starter bendix just went out so it needs the starter rebuilt.”
The funky hardtop seems familiar. Have we seen this one before? Seller believes it to me a 1947, but the rain gutter suggests it is a 3A, so the year is likely 1949 or later.
“I have a 1947 willys, it is a cj3A. It has a 4cil engine original and 3 speed tranny. The engine is looked but it is complete. Asking 1800 o.b.o title on hand. I don’t need help selling it. No pay pall,check, Cash is good. trades??? may be. Prize is negotiable up to an extent..”
