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 $7900.
Has a rear PTO.
“This is a 1946 I did as a Navy Shore Patrol Tribute It has 4cyl engine, 3 speed all original It runs great.
I did change to 12 volt and electric fuel pump for easy starting
It has 5 new military tires, brakes done I have a black best top but like it without the top.
It has something I have not seen before a factory installed PTO on rear and it works.”
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
Has updates.
“53 Willy clean title call”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
“1946 CJ2.. very rare, low vin. Ready for restoration or just drive as is. Call for information. Serious inquiries only, Partial trades considered.. Old guns…”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
(04/24/2014) Looks like this is a VEC body. Has an f-head.
“For being 68 yrs old, this is a very nice vehicle. It has matching frame and body serial numbers and numerous newer parts including:
– “F” Head 90 hp motor
– rebuilt transmission
– 12 volt conversion with remanufactured generator
– carburetor
– solenoid, coil, starter & battery
It certainly isn’t perfect, but it’s hard to expect more for the age and the price.”
Doesn’t drive, but engine starts.
“1948-49 CJ 2A Jeep for parts or restore. Not running. Engine will start but runs rough. Rear end pinion gear locked up. Lots of good parts or restorable. Frame in good condition. Plenty of rust on floorboards. $1350 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Seller listed this as a 1943, but looks like a 1946 to me. The front frame rails and bumper look good. A PTO winch is in the rear. It’s pretty complete, but still a project.
“Found in barn all original only thing missing is engine fan has been through a lot needs someone willing to do a little to make it like it used to be call or text if interested I will deliver for price asked”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
Runs and drives.
“1978 DJ5 Mail Jeep

Has very rare AMC 4 cylinder motor
Automatic transmission

UPDATE: Was $150. **SOLD**
Seller saved this and hopes a willys lover can use it.
“Up for sale is a willys jeep powered air compressor I saved it from the scrapyard with plans to restore but have no time for it anymore. Would like to see it go to a jeep collector it turns over that’s all I know about it. Looks pretty complete”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was Make Offer.
Needs some work. The vintage logo of Sylvan Lake is neat.
“Old Mail Jeep 6 Cyl for motor engine would be great for a collector needs some trans work.
MAKE OFFER”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $650.
“I got this overdrive in an m38 willys that I bought and don’t know the history of it. It does turn and spin and all parts move. It is a Warn, the data tag says it is a 33-29, but the gear has a 26 on it. It came off of a 18 transfer with a t-90 transmission in a willys m38.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
I thought this might be a Porter & Reed, but as Bill points out it isn’t aluminum. Now I think it could be a Koenig Jiffy Cab (which came in aluminum or steel).
Looks like a good price. Is it a Porter & Reed?
“THIS IS A VERY NICE ALL STEEL CAB FOR A 1941 TO 1953 WILLYS JEEP CJ-2.”
Example of a Jiffy Cab:
Has rear PTO.
“1946 Willy’s jeep.
Mostly complete (bad/ugly motor)
No seats, No front window(or frame)
Some gauges Missing
Body has rust.
Chassis is good with warn twin stick overdrive and rear PTO winch.
This jeep has awesome potential for resto, hot rod, or to part out.
Has a clean title!!”

(03/20/2015) One jeep runs.
“I have two Willys Jeep CJ2A a 1947 and a 1948. The 48 is titled, but completely disassembled for restoration. I have a lot of spare parts, including a complete spare motor. I also have a 47 that runs drives and stops. It does not have a title. The tub on the 47 is rusty with patches. I bought a restored CJ2A and lost interest in this restoration. I am willing to discuss prices on parting out or making a package deal. Respond with name and phone number if interested.”

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $6000.
Worth a closer look at that price.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000

I felt better today, but still sneezing and coughing quite a bit, so I laid low. However, Ann spent some time wandering around Alamogordo taking photos (good for her!). She even managed to wiggle her way onto private grounds to photograph a building used in several movies (Fred and Cindy tells us that usually NO ONE is allowed to go inside the gates). I hope to publish some of her photos on Wednesday. We will most likely leave Tularosa on Wednesday.
I got a bit of good news. Ann and I will be the inaugural guests at Red River’s Bed and Breakfast in Fredericksburg, Texas (once the plague leaves me and we can make it there). Tomorrow I will nail down a date with James.
James runs the Red River Jeep Tours in Red River, NM, along with the Uncorked Wine Tour and now a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg.
How about those bed lights!

Her are a couple additional illustrations. Based on a quick look of Mr. Arifman’s projects, it appears they are well done.
Roberto writes, both have been commissioned by Mr. Firman A. Arifman, from Indonesia. He´s a Willys jeep restorer and his company is called “Reborn Workshop”, located at Yakarta. This is its Facebook website:
