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 .
No description, but confirmation the price is for both.

“Price is for both”
If the tire mount is original to the driver’s side location, then this may be a “Lefty”. There are no top bow holder brackets on the passenger side.

This has an aluminum body and a Ford 4cyl engine.

Engine runs. Has a Sears-type half cab. Unclear how much value is here.

“1952 CJ3a. The 4 cylinder flat head runs for a second or two when gas is poured down the carb. Tub has lots of rust. Clean title in my name. The windshield and hard half cab are for a CJ2a and do not fit quite right. Seat frames, wheels, and heater appear to be period correct. Located in Ashton, Idaho AND NO WHERE NEAR and hundreds of miles away from Boise or Coeur d’alene, Idaho. Tires will hold air just long enough to load on a trailer. Price is firm or I will part it out to make my money.”
Unsure how much value is here.

“1948 Willys CJ2A with clean Utah title in hand. The Good: 350 CI Chevrolet Goodwrench crate engine with very few miles, it runs well. Edelbrock Pro-Flo multiport EFI, adapter bellhousing mates to the original manual transmission, transfer case features twin shifters. Clutch is like new, All new brake shoes and wheel cylinders, new wheel bearings and hubs in front axle, and lots of other new parts. AutoMeter gauges all work. Includes a soft top. All fluids are fresh. The Bad: Power steering isn’t connected, unsure if it will work or not. Brakes and clutch are not working, likely a bad master cylinder and possibly a clutch slave cylinder. Some cancer on the floor pan support rails which is common because these were built with wood between the metal in these areas. Otherwise the rest of the body is cancer free. This 1948 CJ2A is a great platform for a rock crawler, sand buggy, or whatever your vision is. The 350 small block Chevy has tons of power for a small, lightweight vehicle like this. You can finish it as is or put the clean body on a custom frame built for whatever you’re in to.”
I bought these three Scenic Jeep Tour slides off of eBay, supposedly from 1964. The pic with the FC *might* be ours. I am waiting for the slide to take a better pic.
With the racer near done and the nice weather, I plan on tackling a couple outside projects, then begin work on the FC Tour jeep.
This appear to have some late model Free-Lock hubs.

“1945 Ford GPW Historic WW2 Military Vehicle. Most systems rebuilt, replaced or restored. Matching numbers. Been in garage a decade. Has been converted to 12v.”
Blaine shared this restored, beautiful 2WD column shift wagon. The BaT auction ended without the reserve being reached a couple days ago at only $12,750. It seems to me to be worth more than that. It may still be for sale.
https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964-jeep-willys-station-wagon/
“The 1964 Willys Jeep Station Wagon is powered by a 134ci Hurricane inline-four mated to a three-speed manual transmission, and it underwent a partial refurbishment after being acquired by the seller in May 2021. Work included re-trimming the two-tone blue interior, re-plating the chrome bumpers, rebuilding the carburetor, and replacing the wiring harness, fuel pump, water pump, windshield wiper motor, shocks, and combination gauge. The truck is finished in blue with a white roof, and equipment includes 15″ steel wheels with full covers, a cowl fresh-air vent, wooden cargo floor slats, a heater, and an ashtray. This Willys station wagon is now offered with owner’s and service manuals as well as a clean Ohio title in the seller’s name.”

“This is a bed and frame including rear axle as shown. Great for parts for a FC150 or make a cool Jeep trailer. The floor has rust so will need to put something over it if you plan to use the bed. Fenders are decent and are worth $250 by themself. Price is $250. Can load. If the ad is posted it’s available. Phone calls only no text or emails. Would make a cool Jeep trailer.”
The 2A has a super hurricane engine.

One of these was an ambulance jeep.
https://slo.craigslist.org/pts/d/atascadero-wwii-1944-ford-jeeps/7653399503.html
“I have a pair of 1944 gpw Jeeps. One is numbers matching and one is a USMC WW2 ambulance jeep. The ambulance jeep is 1 of 20 known survivors as they made between 500-800 of them during the war. It needs a lot of work but is super rare. The floors are rotted and have new floors for it and a 27 gallon tub packed with new parts. Also it includes an original USMC marked mbt trailer. The numbers matching gpw has some rust out but better then 99% of Jeeps out there. It has a lot of original parts including the correct horn, front seats, correct carburetor and more.
Each jeep is 8k and have a nos gpw jeep engine block to offer extra with the ambulance jeep”
The two front seats and cage would be hard to duplicate at $600 if you have a 3B and want all of it.

“Full family style roll cage with 3 race buckets with covers. May trade for ammunition or firearms. No reloads! Don’t contact me on ad if you are not willing to drive to Wickenburg. Seat mounts are tied into cage. Please don’t ask stupid questions like is Jeep included.”
Unclear how much work it needs.

“This is original front-line ambulance used in the Korian War has never been on a county road surplus jeep sold to Osgood Farms only used as farm equipment.

It runs but not good enough to use yet all the drive train good needs to be restored these jeeps are mostly used in parades and displayed at military museums or post when finished.

“I ran this ad last June and received several offers. Unfortunately I was on an extended trip and was not available for showing. So I am now rerunning the ad for the next 2 weeks and will respond to all questions. I will then respond to offers in the order of amount offered.
1952 m38 —- This jeep was 90% refurbished in 1989 from the frame up new wiring harness (24 volt), brakes, etc. Motor and trans ran like a top. It has not been started since 1989. After 1989 it was stored in a rough outbuilding and obviously shows it. I have all the parts, snorkel, seat frames, etc. I’m 70 and don’t need this project. Would like to sell by the end of September and now taking offers. Please serious inquiries only.”
This looks to be a 2WD DJ-3A (body, grille, and front axle).

“Complete CJ2 jeep Needs engine rebuild. Drive train is good. If I don’t sell it as is I will be asking $6500 with a rebuilt engine. Not sure on the miles. On non opp and title in hand. floor boards are not rotted out. The engine has been sitting for years with the cylinder head off. so the cylinder bores are rusty. The pistons are most likely stuck in the bore. my asking price is firm.”
