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 .
Looks like there could be some value here in this early CJ-5

“1955 Jeep CJ5 with plow, really a parts jeep. Runs and stops. Engine has blowby. Runs well. Good drivetrain otherwise. Body is rough. It will plow, last time I used it a long time ago. Tires are round and black. Wisconsin title ready to go. $1300 cash”
Rough body. Column shift.

“For Sale. 1946 Willys CJ2A. Located in Muscoda, Wisconsin 53573. $2,500. Ran and drove last year. Driver side and passenger side floors, and tool box are rusted out. Brakes are out, but has new shoes and hard brake lines, but probably needs new soft lines. Windshield has plexiglas bolted in. Column shift. Converted to 12 volt. This was my fathers farm Jeep. I have the clear title in my name.”
It sounds like this went through a flood. Seller lost his house. Most pics show this in progress, but the initial pic shows it together. So, I’m not sure how complete this is.

“Lost home in flood. Must sell. Professionally rebuilt motor wason engine lift an wasn’t underwater. Off frame restoration project. Health an now flood issues forcing me to sell.

Unclear how much value is here. Body appears rough.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1233526587772414
“Willys CJ3a. Tub is in rough shape, but grill, windshield frame, frame, and axles are all in good shape. Has seat frames. Hood is pretty straight but had a cut made in the side of it; however, it’s easily repairable. I do have a NJ title to go with it for a 1947. Engine is locked up. Open to reasonable offers. Located in Whippany.”
This has a PTO and winch. Maybe has some parts value?

“This would make a great restoration project. 4×4 Willy’s wagon. With pto winch. Mostly original. Has title.”
This project has had some body work, as the drain holes near the steps appear filled.

“CJ2A Warren overdrive even though it’s older it’s still very cool. Come pick me up for $800”
I’ve missed out on some updates, but for good reason. Our annual family gathering is this weekend, so I’ve been spending, literally, the last few weeks cleaning, organizing and straightening up various parts of the property, including creating a new parking spot for the motorhome.
So, updates will be limited, but I know there are a few readers who will be sending me some items for sale and I’ll get them up as I get a chance.
Meanwhile, I picked up a few more “folk art” jeeps on the cheap from eBay. This one is about 7″ long. It’s missing one roll bar, but who cares. Someone spend some time building this oddity (shown next to a small Surrey for comparison).
I just purchased these two odd ball model jeeps for cheap. I’ll update the post with better picks once I received them.
This early sign just sold at auction for $12,000.
“Scarce Multi-piece SSP (single sided porcelain) signs mounted back to back on the original can have good color and moderate gloss. The display field has small chips with areas of discoloration and lower gloss. The perimeter has small bends, chips and additional discoloration. The reverse is similar with additional chips in the field. The factory can is in good condition with general age-related wear. Marked Ark. Sign & Neon Co. Overall a scarce complete Willys Jeep Vertical porcelain neon sign. 155″ H x 42″ W x 14.25″ D. Condition: 7.75/7.25.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350. This was listed in Loganville, GA, in January of 2024. The price is dropped and is now for sale in Batesville, MS. It looks like the 305 engine was removed, hence the lower price. Thanks to Brad for updating us.
This body appears to be a Parkette style body (with the site swooshes) with a Bobcat type hood, but assembled together as a single drag-like body.
“Has a Ford 9” rear end on it. Pretty heavy so good scrap. I do have a forklift to load on trailer.”

Bill shared this article about a vintage jeep collector in Georgia from last April. The author overuses the “GP” term a little bit too much for my tastes, but the general message is that owner Dane Schoff is having a good time with his jeeps!

UPDATE: Patty Upton plans to sell this jeep in the not-so-distant future, according to this earlycj5 thread: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/160468/ (thanks Maury!)
================
Originally posted August 14, 2019: Daniel Strohl reported on Hemmings that the CJ-5 used to circumvent the earth will spend a year at the Off-Road Motorsports Hall of Fame. You might remember that the Upton’s made it around the world in 1984, well all but a small, but a difficult mile of their trek in the Middle East proved impossible to complete. For two decades they held onto the jeep, then they eventually fixed it back up and drove the last mile in the Middle East in 2017.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $7000.
(03/05/2024) The seller is correct; this is a classic PNW build, with the Desert Dogs, a V6, the diamond plate corners, the diamond plate side pieces, the Bobcat Hood, along with other updates.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/459634346632408
“The time has come for me to sell my 1946 CJ2(ish) little beast. It’s sporting a Buick 198 fireball, t90, bobcat hood, Cadillac telescopic column, rather beat up 64 corvette seats, full set of Desert Dogs, ect ect. The top is pretty beat up but keeps the weather out about as well as you could hope. All and all a great example of a classic PNW jeep. It runs and drives but could certainly use a tune up as I’ve not been driving it much at all (hence the sale) Mainly looking for cash but could be open to trades for a newer jeep that would be more daily driver friendly”
This looks to be a custom build with a replacement body (2A ignition holes + military dash jockey box). This also has a Bobcat hood.
