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: **SOLD** Was $3800.
Looks pretty stock. It only shows 10,000 original miles, but the odometer cable could have broken.
“I found this Old Willys Jeep in a Barn way up in the Pennsylvania Mountains from a long time family friend, it’s only got 10,000 original miles on it, 4 cylinder 4×4, good dry cab, good glass, some rust here and there, hasn’t ran in years, I may mess with it and try to start it if I get a chance, clear title, great winter project,”
UPDATE: The engine pictured in the ad was taken from a previous engine ad in Illinois. The Medford ad has been deleted. It may have been a scam. Was $200.
“Have a very nice jeep cj2a L head engine
Ran great when pulled, rebuilt about 6 years ago
I put in a small block
Everything is there as well as engine mounts
Email me if interested
I’m usually in medford or ashland during the day”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100
Looks like a good price. Is the back piece something that could have been ordered? I’ve never seen that.
“This is a half cab or pick up conversion cab for a 1946 Willys CJ2A
It came with my Willys when I bought it and I have no use for it. I have no idea if it’s a Willys or aftermarket part, but it looks original to me. Condition is okay. Some small dents and scratches. Almost no rust on most of it except the doors. They are rusty on the bottom. The divider that goes to the floor is dented up from removal. The goofy box sides appear to be homemade and they were weldedvon so I had to cut them off, but they are not welded to the cab.”
Does not have a title.
“Body is decent for its age. I’ve been repairing rust as time allows.
Has been modified to use Chevy Motors using advanced adapters parts
Transmission has been rebuilt and new input shaft installed.
Transfer case is complete but I have a rebuild kit for it as well.
Motor mounts are marked up for a Chevy Iron Duke motor.
My last stopping place on this was working on the steering.
Comes with a bill of sale and all parts I have for it.”

No photos with this article, but it’s an odd bit of jeep news about former President Eisenhower. It was published i the December 1955 issue of Willys News.
This 1985 article in the Daytona Morning Journal shared the story of Ted Tieder, a man who began selling ice cream in 1937 and was still selling it in 1985.
This postcard shows multiple Bantam BRC-40s at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds.

This book appears to contain lots of bulletins.
“From an old dealership comes this binder of service bulletins mostly from the late 1950’s to mid 1960’s for Kaiser, Willys, Jeep…I have taken pictures of the categories covered…in well used condition, but I suspect useful to those who still have some of these antique vehicles…good luck and please check our feedback and other fine items from our home to yours.”

Newly installed B and M shift kit with quicksilver shifter. Needs seat belts, shifter cable, and a little time. Cool jeep. Serious inquiries only. Trade for boat? Commuter car?”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Looks like it might have a fire jeep front bumper (looks like it curves and is extra long).
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep 4X4, runs and starts great, new brakes, new seat covers (not shown in photos) tires fair to good, they will last another 10,000 miles easily. Has a Buick V6 engine so it has lots of balls, some light surface rust, NO CANCER!!! It needs some prettying up but goes, stops, does great off road. CASH ONLY and NO, I will not accept a B.S. cashiers check from China or Indonesia or wherever and then have your driver pick it up! Sorry, I was not born yesterday”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/22/2015) It’s an MB with a 2A body.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The jeep was modified for a film to look like a M38. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside.
The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen.
It needs tlc for sure but is a driver.
I have the window rubber, just no glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system.
It has Model A tail lights.
The tires are new as of July 22nd. I also had Willys hand painted on the rear tailgate, as well as a personal tribute to a fallen family member, as well as a WWII Kilroy was here.
I am fixing it up as I keep driving it. If it doesn’t sell for my price, I will be fixing it up and keeping it. ”

It runs, but it may need a little work. Seller hasn’t driven it very far.

“This 1948 Willys was a fun summer project that I no longer have time for. It has the more powerful Willys Hurricane engine or F134.
When I purchased the Willys it was not running or driving, so I went through it. Fluids changed: brake lines flushed, gas tank was dumped and fresh gas put in, coolant, engine oil (2 engine oil changes actually), transfer oil, transmission oil, front differential, rear was only topped off.
Electrical was cleaned up, replaced a lot of wires including battery/starter wires (the old ones tried to catch fire!) head light switch installed. I did not get around to the turn signal switch. The speedometer and cable and cable housing were replaced as the ones on the cj were broken, but I kept the original speedometer since it had the mileage on it and I figured some one more competent than me might like to try and fix it.

John’s been going through old photos and digitizing them. Each of these includes a jeep somewhere in it. Neat photos. Thanks for sharing!
I found this story published in the Spokesman-Review December 1, 1945.
Seth checked out this 2A-sort-of-turned-into-a-3B. He understandably decided to pass on purchasing it, but thought these photos were worth sharing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.

” have a great running 62 Willys Jeep wagon thats in nice shape. The original engine was completely rebuilt less than 3000 miles ago and it runs like a watch. The wagon was repainted a few years ago and is showing its age but still looks great. It drives nice down the road but the heater core is leaking now and the blinkers need work. It has a nice stereo new tires and wheels and a clear title. Theres very little rust and it wont take a lot to get this one cleaned back up. These are getting hard to find in this condition. ”
