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 .
By Lissa Guyton,
I haven’t felt well today, so just a few updates. Rich shared these two articles related to JeepFest in Toledo this weekend. He tells that the local ABC affiliate is a sponsor, so he expects to see a few more stories.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
(07/19/2016) Cleanly refurbished.
“1953 CJ3a , Everything new……..metal tube, Like new 1953…..See it , you will like it…..Helping my friend by putting it on Craigslist for him……..He wants $14500.00 ….call me to see it. Vern”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000
(06/23/2016) Has a couple updates. Looks nice.
“This is my 48 Jeep CJ2A. It’s all steel with 12 volt electrics. It has upgraded steering with locking hubs. It also has disc brakes on the front. It has a full soft top w/doors and a Bikini top. It also has a set of 4 “wagon wheel” rims.-See last pic for shot of rims and Bikini top. I also have some spare parts I got from the former owner. I’m only selling the Jeep cause I need to thin out the herd. She’s been sitting all winter so she could use a tune up. Clear antique title in hand.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(11/24/2015) This has a funky roll bar setup, but the builder must have wanted to anchor the rear loops to the frame.
“Small block Chevy runs great. 4 speed manual transmission, twin stick transfer case, front disk brakes, rear drum brakes, power steering, locking hubs on all 4 wheels. Everything works great and jeep is mechanically sound. Runs, drives, tows and offroads great!”

UPDATE: Go here to see some of Brian’s 3B body videos.
Brian Hainer has begun making some videos showing how he makes body parts out of sheet metal. He’s finished a couple videos already. He’ll soon be completing a series of videos on how to fabricate a complete Willys body.
Currently he has a set of three videos showing how he produced a corner piece for an FC-170.
Here are links to the subsequent videos for the FC corner:

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Could be a good price.
“I have a 1951 CJ3A. It has been my project for several years. I just have too many. This one is all but ready for the road. It literally only needs a seatbelt and it is road worthy. I just have not time to drive it and space is limited.

$4200 obo. Need to sell now. Need the cash to fix my other car.”
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/5721362149.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(07/19/2016) Includes a Warn winch and overdrive. Could be a great price.
“I purchased the Jeep in 1991. It was kept on my ranch in Meeker until 2012 when I sold the ranch and brought the Jeep back to Eagle.It has a Buick V-6 motor which I believe is either a 231 or 232 cubic inch. It also has a tilt steering column from the same vehicle. The jeep has a winch and a 3 speed transmission with a high/low splitter. It also comes with a full soft top and a bikini top. It has a top speed around 65 mph on the highway and is a lot of fun to drive off road. It has always been stored indoors while I’ve owned it. It’s at eagle auto consignment in eagle and can be seen anytime.”
Seller notes this is restored, but clearly it’s more in the category of refurbished. The photos of this jeep demonstrate the difficulty of evaluating jeeps based on pics. In pic #2, zooming in o nthe metal covering makes the driver’s side look like it has some indentations near the gas inlet. Yet, pic #1 clearly shows that area is flat. Now, whether the area under the plates are covering rust can’t be seen without an inspection visit.
“Vintage 1951 Willys Jeep. Fully restored. Completely rebuilt engine using Willys parts July 2016”
http://stlouis.craigslist.org/cto/5718785591.html
Runs, no title.

http://duluth.craigslist.org/cto/5715499918.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Not quite so all original as the seller thinks.
“All original 1944 Willies Jeep flathead 4 cylinder everything works $2500 obo trades”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Seller also has a “Willys”, but doesn’t include a pic of it.
“I have two jeeps for sale I have one that is a 1974 CJ and the other I believe is a 75 CJ the 74 is the white one that I have a title for.The orange one you will have to put in for lost title or use it for a Parts vehicle .. They both come with all the jeep parts that are at the garage. There are some transmissions transfer cases,lots of stuff. I bought them from a friend of mine that was moving in a big hurry.. Well he told me he was not coming back to NV.. I loaned him $1200 at the time and that’s what I want for the jeeps today.. I’m selling them as a package first come first serve. There is also a Willys that I have to anybody’s interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Has a running f-head.
“1946 CJ2A for parts or restoration. Most parts are there, obviously it’s a bit rough. Has good running F-Head 134 Hurricane engine from later CJ. Windshield frame is complete but will need some attention, glass is plastic. This was originally a rare column shift model – some of the shifter parts are still there. Has transmission and transfer case. No seat frames. Many of the parts will fit CJ3A and CJ3B Jeeps (CJ-3A, CJ-3B)
VIN on clear title matches frame plate, but the firewall plate is gone. New ones are available, though.
Asking $1,000 with the motor, $750 without motor. $550 for only the running F-head engine.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2300.
Powered with a Studebaker 6.
“Up for sale is a 1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep. I don’t have the space to store this Jeep inside for another winter and have other projects in progress. This jeep was an old Western Union vehicle and currently has a clean PA title. The engine is a 1953 (roughly) 170ci Studebaker flathead 6 cylinder. Transmission and transfer case are original.
Recent new parts include:
Tires
headlights, tail lights, turn signals, and switch (all working street legal)
professionally installed wiring harness and 12 volt conversion
front and rear shocks
fuel pump and line
Cap / Rotor / Wires/ Points
Jeep needs:
-Carb rebuild: this Jeep does run but will not idle and the carb leaks fuel. The carb is a carter bb-1 with manual choke.
-Body work: as you can see in the photos, the body tub has been patched and could use some work if you are looking for a show Jeep. The frame is in very good shape.
-I do recall the throwout bearing making some noise at idle in neutral but the jeep shifts in and out of gear and into 4×4 without issue. ”
