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 .
Might be a cheap parts jeep or project.
“55 Willy’s got it as a project but got to many so shes gotta go. Runs but smokes haven’t got to the brakes or exhaust but it starts. Original gas tank is shot. Would make a cool project or parts jeep. May trade for other projects or what ever you got don’t hurt to ask. Have original title but I could do bill of sell.”

(06/25/2016) If the winch is included, this could be a good price.

“1948 cj2a Willeys jeep motor is strong need carb rebuild transmission and 4 wheel dr in great condition I’m asking 2000 OBO based what I have found online not sure if that’s high so feel free to make offer need gone today”
I found this article titled “Jeep Mountaineers” by Henry Zuidema in the September 1950 issue of Motor News. The magazine was so Michigan focused that they had a list of Michigan-related football games for both college and pro teams.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8300.
This combo appears worth a look. This has a rare Carson Car Craft hardtop.
“I don’t want to sell the” 45″ alone, just because. Both run , the 48 has a homemade plow set up. and I would add is crazy clean. Garaged and driven for 35 years, then I bought it. The “45” is a VEC, vin. 10365, good bones. And also comes with a great story ! Open to calls , but I have a limit on how much jeep talk I can do.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Looks like a solid build.

http://appleton.craigslist.org/cto/5658500036.html
Is that a storage box in the back?
“Have a 1951 Willys for sale. It is a stick shift with 4 wheel drive low and high… Will climb a cliff in low. Has been converted to 12 volts, has new carburetor, fuel pump and new plastic fuel tank. Brake lights head lights and instrument cluster lights all work and so do the gauges and horn. May need a little work for road worthiness but great for parades and short in town drives!!

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
Has an f-head.
“1942 Willys Ford Script GPW (General Purpose Willys) If you know Willys you know this one is rare and hard to come by! It was only made the first few months of 1942. I’m not an expert but it does have the Willy’s Grill and possibly a Ford stamped Willys frame. The engine is not original but starts and runs perfect. I think it is an early fifties F-head. Starts runs and drives great, 4×4 works and the tires are in Nice condition. Like most Willys 70 plus years old it has had modifications including a fuel cell and selecto hubs. The Body and Frame seem to be original and mostly unmolested. It has a few minor oil leaks but you can drive it down the road today! Clear Montana title in hand. If it were original it would be a $40,000 rig unfortunately those are very hard to come by! I believe the price is fair at $5800 but will consider serious offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
“I have a 1946 Willys CJ2A for sale it is a 3 speed manual transmission, 4X4 (transfer case levers need to be re installed which I have them). It has a Flathead 4 cylinder motor, rear seat with seat belts, manual starter. I have owned it for about 2 years in hopes of making it a project vehicle but I have not had much time to work on it due to my job. It is almost complete and almost road worthy. It is currently not fully drivable but all it needs to run is a larger pulley put on the alternator as well as a wider pulley belt. I called and explained what was happening to Hammetts in Biloxi and they said it would cost around $200 for them to do it. I just don’t have the time to finish it up and would hate to see it sit any longer. I have replaced the rear main seal, flywheel ring gear, clutch pressure plate, alternator is brand new, starter bendix. It starts and runs but with the pulley and belt being smaller it squeals when you rev the engine and the alternator does not charge. I am asking $4,500 OBRO.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3450.
(04/09/2016) Project ready.
“I Have a brand new stainless steel Body for a Willys Jeep CJ2A or CJ3A.

http://dallas.craigslist.org/ftw/pts/5655446176.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
(05/30/2016) This running project could be a good price.
“MUST SELL!! The perfect project for the right person. This is a 1946 willys jeep. 50% of the body work is done. It runs good, but the motor will eventually need to be overhauled. I have the seat frames, fuel tank, as well as several other mechanical/body parts. I just want to find it a good home with someone who has the time to put into bringing this little gem back to life. I have a TX title for it. It is titled as 46, but it’s really a 1949 model”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(06/11/2016) Has some patches.
“1952 Wills Jeep CJ3B with power steering and Ford Pinto 4 cylinder engine. 95% restored this winter and highlights custom rims and radial tires, new racing seats and a full body bed liner paint job. Very solid. Some minor rust areas repaired and driver/passenger floorboards patched. Bed is original, solid and without rust. Underbody now undercoated. Send to a certified mechanic and fully gone through so you have a street ready vehicle to enjoy. No speedo and turn signals are manual. Clean title with collector plates. Runs and drives excellent. Bikini top goes with it. No other tops.”
Needs plenty of body work.
“Jeep has original running gear and will run and drive with a secondary gas tank. Original tank is rusted out. Floor and tub have a lot of rust. I also have a good L134 engine for $500. A non tested L134 engine for $250. A good T90 transmission and transfer case for $450. Parts transmission & transfer case for $250.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $450.
Needs some work, but better than some I’ve seen.
“I have an early 1942 Ford script GPW tub for sale.
Tub is in overall good condition with a lot of work already done. Body is solid with no rust with a thin coat of body filler used to fill in dents on side and rear panels. Tool boxes just replaced, only needs floors replaced and it’s good to go! New side handles, pioneer tool brackets, glove box lid, tool box lids along with locks for all three lids.
No title, no data plates come with this tub, sold as is. ”
Just a couple updates today, though it certainly isn’t for lack of content. There was a noticeable increase in jeeps for sale last month that was constant throughout the entire month. We may be looking at the leading edge of another recession.

“One of a kind old Jeep and welder.”
I’m ready to release a small number of books … 12 to be exact. These first books are signed copies and will be $30 (with free shipping). Around the end of July I will be making the book available to everyone, with signed copies available from me or unsigned copies through Amazon. You can learn more about the book at my new author’s site: http://www.deilers.com/.
Though I’ve done my best to squash all the grammatical errors, I’m sure I’ve missed a few. So, as a part of this first round of books I’ll be offering a bounty of $5 per error if anyone wants to take me up on it (up to a max of $100 or 20 errors — not person but total). When you order the book I’ll explain how to send the errors you find to me. I’m only making this offer to the twelve eWillys readers who purchase this version.
If you want a book, drop me an email (d@ewillys.com) that includes your mailing address. I’ll explain how to pay (I’ll take check or paypal).
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
Runs, but needs brakes.
“Hard to find, desirable early Willys with shifter on steering column. This was the first civilian model jeep made after WW2. Serial number 27040. Stored indoors and owned by the same person for the past 40 years. Starts and runs great. Brakes not currently working. Solid, nearly complete vehicle would be great for restoration or would be perfect to use around farm with little work needed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Plenty of value here.
“1940’s vintage Willys for sale. Prior owner used this vehicle for snow plowing around his home for 20 years or more before his passing. Since then the vehicle was stored in the garage for the past 6 years, only being placed outside the garage within the past few months.”
