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 .
Both 1947 and 1948 appear in the ad, so I’m not sure which is accurate. This includes a rear PTO and gearbox.

“1947 Willy’s CJ2a For parts or restoration. Body is in rough condition could use repair or replacement but chassis and drivetrain are complete. Engine needing rebuild has been removed and is sitting in my shed. Full rear PTO turns freely, shifter works fine.”
This has a Worman hardtop. I expect this doesn’t run?

“Restorable condition best offer 1947 Jeep willys.”
Don’t see many CJ-6 chassis pop up for sale.

“1972 jeep cj6 rolling chassis only with title 1000.00”
The chassis doesn’t not appear to be a. 2A chassis (missing front frame gussets).

“Early CJ2A body, rough shape but complete with nice grill, headlights, buckets, parking lights, hood with hinge windshield frame and good glass, front fenders and tub with tailgate.

(04/14/2023) I feel like I’ve seen this one previously.

It needs some work.

“This is a replica scaled down army jeep made from wood. It has a 9hp motor with a forward and reverse transmission. Needs some work before it can be driven”
Seems worth a look. Only the one pic provided.

“Jeep and trailer, Louisville Ky. Only serious buyers. Have lots of new parts.”
This has a dump bed and a PTO winch at the back of the cab. The cab looks pretty sound.

“Clean 1948 Jeep Willys truck in original condition. It has very little rust and the flathead four fires right up and the truck runs and drives. The stake bed has been repaired with newer wood and the dump bed is functional. Feel free to message with any additional questions. It is also currently parked at a barn in Cedar Springs, not Ada”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. The seller no longer indicates the miles on the speedometer as “original miles”.
(08/01/2022) This looks like a good build, but the reason I am posting it is that, for some reason, it has a serial number tag that places it as a CJ-5 with a V-6 with emissions from around mid-1969 (8305017 360695). So, maybe this is a CJ-3A body on a newer chassis.
“1949 jeep cj-3a runs and rides great absolutely no rust it’s got brand new tires, soft top and is very clean for how old it is has Buick v6 with a manual 3 speed the title says 1970 to make road worthy but you can tell it is way older than that ….This jeep gets all the looks and is a great cruiser!!! Come check it out !!! ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
2 different FCs are shown. Not sure if they are both for sale and whether both are included in the $3500 price. No description provided.
There must be some value here.

“2 jeep Cabovers. For parts or restore. $1000 firm for the pair. Delivery available”
UPDATE: Still Available.
This was priced much higher, but it is now what appears to be a good price.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/731729598224991
“The car is in good condition and have the overdrive”
Sure looks like there is value here. I believe that is a Kelly hardtop.

“Project car, no title , not in running condition . As is parts or fix”
Needs some engine repairs.

“1961 Jeep FC 150 Very solid Jeep great restoration project or drive it as it is with all the cool patina this was a oil field truck from Oklahoma The Jeep ran and drove Until I pulled the timing cover off because the water pump was leaking needs a new timing cover and gasket There is a 15000 pound Ramsay PTO driven winch in the bed It has lockers And a manual transmission”
There may be some parts value here, but it lacks an engine and transmission. The body appears to have potential.

“1958 Willis Jeep body and frame. No motor no transmission.”
Andy shared this ad. Seems like there is parts value in the f-head.

“FC jeep engine and transmission from 1964 FC Jeep. Drive shafts included. see photo. Ran well when I removed it five years ago. body and frame scraped. Includes trans, apart. Bell housing and flywheel. No carb or generator. Pick up in Webberville Michigan. I can load crate (included)with high low.”
It will need an engine build.

“41 Slat grill MB project. This is has been a running, driving jeep for years. I am selling but have pullet the motor to put in another jeep. The T84 trans has the passenger side fill hole (correct for slat). The current frame is kinda cobbled up, a 2nd slat grill frame with axles & original slat grill is included. Seats are repros with Beechwood Canvas covers, a set of original split-back seats are included. Four 4 1/2″ 90/90 solid wheels and one 4″ 90/90 solid wheel go with. Also included is a chain drive 638632 block that i believe to be an actual slat grill motor (turns free) and 639660c cylinder head. The registration number on the hood is not original, dod tag and frame tag are missing, but the ser# on the title matches the features present on this jeep, I believe it to be the correct ser#. I have estimated the dod to be Dec 19. Clean title in my name. Serious inquiries only please. Located in SW Indiana, delivery available for a fee.”
Unclear if the extra parts are included; he may just be selling them separately. I’m also not sure which jeep is the 48.

“1948 Willis Cj2A · Convertible · Driven 1,234 miles Several Cj2A ,MB, and M38 parts. Message me as to what you are looking for. No trades please”
Given the small gauges, this is likely a 56 or earlier. The body is pretty rusty.

This one has an unusual radiator setup. Just better hope that radiator cap doesn’t explode off the radiator.

“COE Jeep. Forward Control. Similar to CJ5. 60s?”
John’s complete the build of a 1955 M-38A1 USAF. Looks well done!
“My 1955 M38A1 is finished.
I bought it in late 2021 and has Dave Arnold (the area’s leading MV guy) go over it.
It had recently had an engine rebuild, so it was just the usual stuff as well as all new seals, radiator and wiring harness.
Wanting seatbelts, I wanted something period correct, so I used aircraft seat belts like the motor pool could have gotten from base supply. They were reconditioned by an aircraft supply store.
I also got an orange/white “flightline flag”, that vehicles had to display back then. The holder used an existing hole. Finally, there is a decal on the dash explained the control tower traffic signals; back then they used a light gun in place of a radio.
The power plug is operational and I bought a slave cable that is compare with airplanes (today’s planes use the same 24v plug). So when I’m at the airport, I could jumpstart aircraft.
Lacking a hood number, I put it in USAF Markings and made it from Larson AFB (Moses Lake, WA), and my dad’s unit circa ’55-57…the
62nd Troop Carrier Wing. I was born at Larson a couple of weeks before the Jeep was built.
The current Hood number is, in AF style:
55 (year contracted for),
K (Military vehicle, General Purpose),
82551 (Willys serial).
The paint is the PPG formula, (I fixed test shots of the other two and This looked best). Growing up in AF based and spending 20 years in myself, I knew what looked correct to me.
Since gloss finish shows body issues, I had some minor bodywork and final paint done by a pro body guy.
When our purchased, it was straight (except the back panel was pushed in a bit from a backing accident…we straightened it, but most of the damage was covered by the spare tire) with no rust except in the fuel tank well.”
