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 $600.
Could be worth a look. I don’t quite understand the description though.
“Motor and transmission jeep Willys working good 2 things i take out i have all the miselaneus any?”
It ran when parked 6 years ago.
“1942 Jeep Willys Cj2a. Mostly Original. Still has the original flathead 4 and drive train. It is still a 6 volt system. There have been some rust repairs on the body. It ran 6 years ago before it was parked in southern Arizona. Everything should be there to get it running again except the starter.
Please review the pictures as this jeep will need some work. The seats are rotten and will need to be replaced. It sat outside in southern Arizona for 6 years. I got this to work on it over the winter but time and money never appeared so it is time to reduce the number of projects I have. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
Needs engine rebuilt. Does not include winch.
“I am selling my Willy’s. Was going to be a project Jeep but have no time to rebuild engine. It has a clean body with seats and diamond plate in the tub.
Previous owner was the one that restored it and had a full underbody coating sprayed on. I have the title, plates and current tags. Everything is up to date with the DMV.
The previous owner blew out the bottom end. Currently has a Chevy 350 in it with rams horn headers. Buy a crate engine and drop it in and drive off! It has a rebuilt radiator, relocated gas tank and high performance heads. New battery (bought last year) and comes with towbar and rear bumper. Also has the overdrive for the transmission.
Winch not included. Asking $4,000 OBO. Come take a look and make me an offer! Text or call me!”
Not sure how much value is here.
“I bought this with the intention of restoring and just don’t have the time. It’s the first year of the high hood flat fender CJ3B. It has no paperwork and does not currently run so is being for restore or parts. It’s pretty rough but would make a great father & son project in the right hands. The Dana axles are intact as well as the t90 trans&Spicer 18 transfer case. It has a tow bar on the front and does roll for easy transport. Please feel free to email and questions. Thank you! $900 or best offer! If the ad is up, it’s still available.”

Thanks to Chris for spotting these hard-to-find jeep labeled ice scrapers for me. The one in the middle will be saved for Rusty. These are more advertising items than practical scrapers, as they aren’t very big. Above them is a 3×5 postcard for comparison.
On another note, Chris also found a set of these. On what were they installed?
Great early bond campaign photo.
“1942 Press Photo Jeeps here for Jeep Day War Board Campaign. This is an original press photo. Jeeps here for Jeep Day War Board CampaignPhoto measures 9 x 7.25inches. Photo is dated 06-22-1942.”

UPDATE: This may have sold. Was on eBay for $20,000.
Craig forwarded this eBay listing for a rare Palomino Mower. It’s listed at $20,000. For that price you can get a restored CJ-2A and a set of mowers to pull behind it.
“This is the very rare mini Jeep “Roof Palomino” made in the Roof factory in Pontiac, Illinois. There were only about 200 of these mini Jeeps made in the 60’s. These were very expensive, costing around $1,700.00 when new, about the same as a new Chevrolet. Therefore, not many of these were sold, as only the wealthy could afford one.
This Palomino is in excellent original condition. It runs really well. It cuts a 5 foot swath with no problems. This could also be used as a golf cart, since the mower deck removes easily. This is a lot of fun to use since it creates so much attention when you are driving around your yard, either cutting grass or golf carting. According to your local ordinances, this could be driven down the street in your community.
It has a hydra static drive, so it is easy to use. This works really good, except the headlights and horn are not working. I never needed them, so I never bothered to have them fixed. There is no rust damage, and it has never been repaired for rust. I have owned this for about 20 years. It has a new 12 volt battery, and it starts right up. It has a large Kohler 2 cylinder engine, with more than enough power to cut tall grass. It is capable of speeds over 25 mph. How cool is that????
This type of vehicle does not require a title or registration. The purchaser will not have to be in a rush to pick it up since I will keep it safe in my garage until arrangements can be made. Look at photos closely and ask any and all questions you may have.”
Drain holes are filled, but could be a solid jeep.
“running cj3a in original shape been under cover, original motor and air cleaner ctc. original motor runs and drives good. will try to get pics later .if interested i do have some on my phone. these solid jeeps are getting hard to find. 3900.00 cash”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,000.
(09/13/2016) Not many of these original stock CJ-3As in this unrestored condition.
“Willys Jeep for sale, excellent all original condition, no rust through or rot. The only items not original are the wheels and tires. This is a true barn house find. Vehicle has spent its life on a ranch and has been started and driven on a regular basis. Cons: leaks oil from engine.”
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv/cto/5773260249.html
Jeremy has these solid-letter desert dogs for sale. He had them on his CJ-2A, but removed them for smoother tires. The side walls look in great shape, but the tread certainly has some wear.These are very difficult to find in California or anywhere else for that matter. Even in the PNW it is difficult, unless you know some folks. Email him at jeremylenser@sbcglobal.net for more info.
It’s an expensive project. This is in a condition similar to a couple others I bought.
“Selling a very early (one of the first 500) Austin Champs. This has been a California car for many years and has been off the road since 1978. It still has its original black and yellow license plates. This would be a great project. It is complete with its original engine, and spares.”

Looks like this has a rare Boston top.
“Willys jeep, good condition, has a rebuilt ford 2.3 engine. ”
http://northmiss.craigslist.org/snw/5802812838.html
UPDATE: Still Available.

http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lgb/cto/5812100790.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800. I just noticed it has a PTO bar on the back.
I can’t tell for sure, but the extra rectangular data plate could indicate this was a reconditioned jeep. That could also be an explanation for the MB engine in the GPW chassis.
“I have a 1942 ford gpw that was made in April a 42 it is a script body has the t84 transmission that will shift has a willys MB engine im it Believe to be locked up has a title jeep will need a full restorations has some floor pans that are rusted through”
May need engine work.
“Flat head original motor, knocks. 53, 253 miles.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(08/26/2016) Runs. Has an f-head, but seller has an l-head, too.
“I got a M38 that the previous owner installed the engine out of a CJ-3B into it and as such it makes the carburetor stick out thru the hood. They also installed a hood scoop on it which was really big, so I cut it off and when I did, I found the hood to not be in such good shape. So as you see in the pics there is a huge hole in the hood that I have not got around too. I have found and purchased the correct motor for it from a guy in OHIO. I don’t know if it runs or not because I haven’t had the time to mess with it either, but the engine goes with it for the price shown. The Jeep has rust on it, it has some bondo on it, the floor pan is somewhat rusted out as well. The engine in it was running when I parked it and I haven’t messed with it much. Need to sell, I don’t have time anymore to mess with it. Too busy mowing my GRASS.”
http://evansville.craigslist.org/cto/5803675702.html
It runs, but has a few good mods.
“This is an early 1947 CJ-2A with a newer one piece windshield. If you are looking for a jeep project then this is for you. Just passed emissions!
Come and take it for a drive, over $3500 invested.
Trade for 1945 — 1954 car or $3250
If I have no deal by Sunday 10/9 I’m going to plate it and drive it.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Runs. It could use some work.
“1951 Willys Jeep. Pre-smog. RUNS AND DRIVES! Currently registered through June of next year 2017 with clean CA title in hand. No back fees or Reg fees to deal with! Great trail rig or daily driver with a little TLC. Engine is a Buick V6 with freshly rebuilt carb. Runs strong. Lifted with 31 10.5 15 tires, dry but will get you home with full size spare. Hurst manual 3 spd. 4×4 with twin stick all work fine. Front locking hubs. Some rust but mostly surface, nothing structural. Back passenger corner has damage, see pictures. Totally weldable. No power steering or breaks, this is a real jeep! What you see is what you get, if it’s not pictured I don’t have it.”
No pics provided.
“I have a bunch of cj2a stuff I’m getting rid of. I still have a frame and tub that are titled along with a transfer case, manual transmission for doing a Chevy swap and a bunch of other miscellaneous parts as well. Title is non oped so no back fees. I have a complete one in my garage if you want to check one out these jeeps are very simple and I’ve built a few of them. I’m working on other projects now and no interest in getting to these. ”
This was available a few years ago. I’m thinking that battery mount was not a field mod.
“1943 Ford GPW Willy’s Jeep for sale. GPW stands for Government Production willy’s. It has a 134 Willy’s motor (original) Go Devel. Jeep runs good. You do not have to have a title for these old jeeps

“This is a domestic 1949 Willys CJ-2A. The jeep has a v6. Has a 3 speed with an overdrive unit on it. Less than 200 miles on the motor. The jeep has been parked for a year. Ran before we parked.
