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: UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.

Bob forwarded this one. Interesting top. I assume that’s home made or modified?
“1950 willys cj-3a keep I bought as a project and just don’t have the time anymore this is a nice jeep the body is rough but the frame and motor are in good shape it just needs a starter. They sell new sheetmetal body’s for this jeep around two thousand dollars the top is said to be a very rare factory top and could easily be worth more than I’m asking alone. I’d like to get around 1000 dollars obo also open to trades”
Craig spotted this one. Might have some value, especially if it has dually adapters.
“Here’s something you won’t see everyday – a 1951 Willys pickup that has (we think) a 1948 Chevy dually diff with a pto powered dump bed powered by a ’50s Ford Flathead V8 engine. What a Frankenstein. We actually spent a lot of time rebuilding the carb and distributor and getting it all set up. Ran like a champ for about a minute until a valve stuck. Heads are currently off, but machined and ready to reinstall. To make it easier we got another ’50’s Ford Flathead that turns freely and ought to run that goes with it as a spare.
It’s as unusual as they get. Body is fair. This could be a great yard truck with very little work.”

Has potential. It isn’t running at the moment, but might just be a minor issue.
“1951 Willys Jeepster in great shape. Was running when I parked it 6 months ago but can’t get it going now. Have new top and side panels that have not been installed, and a new wiring harness from Kaiser Willys also not installed. Purchased Jeepster a few years back from a man in GA without a title only bill of sell. Have been unable to title in Florida where I live so it needs to find a new home. Please let me know if you have questions”

“Hi, here we have a 1947 cj2a, (123179), very much complete, dents here and there, rust as well, nothing that cant be fixed, THE 4 TIRES ARE BRAND NEW, FROM AMERICAN SPECIALTY TIRES, the windshield is the type that could be open horizontally, I didn’t try to open it, the engine L134, is frozen, and it came from a supersonic, at least that is what the head reads, the 6 volt electrical system has to be redone completely , transmission and transfer case appear to be okay, all the gears engage non running, ORIGINAL COLOR WAS YELLOW.
This is a great summer project, this is for restoration, I was going to do it but I need the money for college, tow bar not included.

I helping my Grandpa sell his 1946 Willys-Overland CJ-2A Jeep. He bought it in 1986 and it has seen light use as a trail ride vehicle since that time. The jeep has the original L134 “Go Devil” engine, and it still runs very well. The body is in fair shape for a 70 year old vehicle, with some dents, dings, and small a rust spot or two, but no major rust or rotted out holes in the body. During the time that he owned it, my Grandpa made several repairs and upgrades, most of them within the last 3-4 years.
-Converted 6-volt electrical system to 12-volt
-Rebuilt starter
-New gas tank
-New muffler and tail pipe
-New tires
-New brake shoes
-New brake wheel cylinders all around
-New brake master cylinder
-New front axle shafts and u-joints
-New front axle steering pinions
-New steering wheel shaft and worm gear
-New tie rod ends and drag links
This jeep would be a great addition to your hunting shack or cabin, or a good start for a project vehicle. Contact me if you’d like to take a look. Thanks!”

“Hello, I have a 1944 military jeep with a title ready for someone to finish. It comes with all the parts pictured, as well as a new carb and the two front seat frames. Tires are excellent. It has the Willy’s 4 cylinder engine and t90 transmission. It runs and drives but needs brakes. Tub has rust mainly in front floor but the whole thing is a little rough. It is not all stock original but a cool little jeep. Email your # if you want to view it or have any questions. I am firm on the $6,500. Clean title!”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(09/26/2015) Here’s something unusual. Runs and drives, but not street legal at the moment.
“Here is a cool one- 1948 Jeep CJ2A for sale. I bought this last year from a guy who
started to restore it mostly engine work then quit. I took it a few steps further just for
some fun to do work. Following are where it is condition wise:
motor starts and runs really good. no smoke. Oil pressure is20lbs idle up to 40lbs higher rpm.
12 volt system. 100 amp alternator installed. new point/condenser. Timing/dwell checked.
Radiator flushed/new anti-freeze. Runs a nice 170 degrees.
All new wheel cylinders and brake lines. New master cylinder. New fuel pump.
new gas tank. Old tires replaced with good used ones. Brakes work good.
2 wheel/4 wheel drive. Transfer case in/out shifter. Wiring harness is all there and
decent shape. Just needs to be chased out to make sure all wires are complete with
good connections. Lights and turn signal no work yet. gages all work.
Now for the body—- she was plenty rusty. Had previous body work done.
Wasn’t interested in the time and cost of new body, so I painted it ( paint/reducer/hardner)
like in the body shops, then bolted on 3/4 in plywood panels as you see in pics.
Packer green and gold. Cool woody jeep.
This is what you need if looking for a 4 wheeler on the farm, your property up north,
or your back yard. Get the lights working and license it for street use.”

“1943 working, Willys military jeep. Awesome find…great project piece…must sell no time to love it as it should be. Pictures on request. $6000 OBO.”
This August 5th, 1963, article from the St. Petersburg Times describes how Dunedin, Florida, resident Steve Fowler drove from Florida to Los Angeles, north to Idaho, then cross the northern part of the US, before heading back to Florida. The article claims he drove about 10,000 miles. His most worrisome event was a close call at Old Faithful in Yellowstone National Park. He was camping near it when a large bear chased him away from his jeep. Sounds like quite an adventure!
A similar version of the photo was sold on eBay in May of 2015.
“1942- Pulled by a quintette of jeeps instead of reindeer, Santa Claus rides a tank at Fort Knox. This was the Christmas greeting from the men of the armored force. Name “Yardbird” is painted on lead jeep. The others look to have names as well but I can’t make them out.”
