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 .
This will be auctioned on Saturday. It runs, but needs work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
Sounds like it runs.
“2nd year of the civilian Willy’s Jeep…CJ 2A. All original motor and drive train. Used on a deER lease for the past few years. Engine and tranny were rebuilt 10 years ago. Clean Texas Title…..will run on starter fluid.”
Still needs a little work.
“Registered as a 1952 Willys. All fiberglass, Locked Ford 9in., Automatic Transmission, 427 Big Block Chevy (approx. 450hp), nitrous kit available, Full cage built for 3 people attached to the frame, New drive shafts, etc. The Jeep has not seen sand since 2008. I had a new T18 transfer case put in it in 2012 as well as having the rest of the drivetrain inspected. It does not currently run. The fuel lines, battery and driveshafts need to be installed. The seats are weathered but actually new. I have never driven it with these seats installed. The Super Swampers and Mickey Thompsons are no longer on the Jeep, It will be sold with 32×11.50×15 BFG All Terrains on aluminum wheels. I am willing to negotiate but do not come at me with some ridiculously low ball offer.”

Not sure how much value is here.
“I have a 1946-47 Willys CJ2A that is in very restorable shape of to make it into whatever you would like, The rundown: been in a barn for 20 plus yrs, engine, trans, transfer case is all rebuild able but is not running, floor pans are in good shape not rusted through, body could use a little work but is in great shape for its year and compared to others I have found. Has an extra windshield and frame. One rust through spot in the frame but nothing too concerning. It only has two rims with no tires so it is on a trailer an not mobile. Take a look at pics..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
“For Sale: A pair of early Willys CJ5 seats. These seats are original (as far as I can tell) and came from a late 1950’s era CJ5. They are in very good, but not mint, condition. Please see the up close pictures for a few imperfections. The back of the passenger seat has a dark mark/line on it, but this is not a hole or cut. Please no texts, calls or emails only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Looks like it has been painted recently.

(08/03/2010) The body has been lifted and the springs have been outboarded. I suspect the front and rear housings have been replaced, as it now sports 6 lug rims.

“1947 Jeep Willys CJ2A near original state. Has the “Go Devil” 4cyl. engine also know as the L-head. With in the last year; new fuel tank, rebuilt starter ( also has a high rev 12v starter for it), rebuilt carb ( still leaks as the of the age recommend replacement), all new wiring with new battery, brakes rebuild except the master which was good at the time. A few years ago the engine was rebuilt runs strong.
Body is not perfect (started to remove paint as it had a bad brush paint job before). Over all good bones for a restore. Or good ranch rig.
As of now it need the seats redone, and a new carb.
HAVE CLEAR TITLE.”
UPDATE: John pointed out that the early GAZ was modeled after the first Bantam. This may well be a restored early GAZ.
Roberto forwarded a link to a celebration in Vietnam that included jeeps. I was checking out the CJ-3Bs and M-606s when I spotted a jeep that looked curiously like a copy of the original Bantam BRC. It’s doesn’t seem to be a perfect copy, but still looks pretty neat. I’ve blown up the pics, so they are a little blurry.

Original Bantam BRC from a similar angle.
Early GAZ
Seth found this photo of a stretched M-38A1 with extra seats parked at a Walmart. Looks like there’s a small sign attached to the beer case that indicates this may be in Virginia near the National Museum of the Marines
.
Appears mostly stock.

“I have a willys jeep project for sale. 102″ wheel base tub stretched 4″ in doorway. Frame is fully boxed with no cracks. It is running and complete now but I will be pulling the running gear and some other stuff for another jeep project I am working on. It is currently set up with dana 60 front 3 link with panhard. The rear is 4 link. Has j 20 steering box. Current engine is a 5.3 chevy trans is a th350 with a dana 300 transfercase. It has a great custom cage front tube work and rock sliders. Just use a 70s or or 80 chevy truck as a donor and it could be back running in no time. It could be easily pun on another frame if all you want is a light body for your crawler. Could also easily convert back to leaf springs if you want it more stockish. Body is in great shape I even have all the pieces that are cut off the back wheel well if you won’t them. Great project easy to finish lots of options all wiring works great turn signals wipers heater electric fan wiring. call with questions”
