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 $2000
(04/30/2014) Runs. No obvious rust.
“1949 WILLYS CJ2A, 260 V8,3 SPEED, ROLL BAR, TOW BAR, LIFTED, TILT WHEEL, SPARE PARTS, RUNS GOOD. CALL CHUCK”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
I dont’ recognize the type of fiberglass body nor the grille. I can only imagine the windshield came with the body??? It’s an oddball.
“Willy’s CJ2 NO TITLE
Fiberglass body, fenders, hood that are old style and need some work
Engine siezed
Rolls fine, has axles, 3spd trans, transfer case
Frame can use a little work
NO TITLE”
UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
Body appears to have bondo (or something else) on the passenger side. Still, it runs and drives!
“Everything works. Title. Delivered anywhere in Chattanooga area. Extra set of fat tire wheels. Extra parts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
The photo makes it appear the jeep tilts forward, but I’m betting that’s an optical illusion, unless the front wheels are really really small. I don’t think they are that small.
“1948 Willy’s jeep, with 4 cylinder Pontiac engine, has title, and runs.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
No doubt this project is worth a look.
“Rare 45 cj2a. #217 of 1824 built in 45. Completely disassembled for storage. Body has rust but very saveable. I belive the motor is a 47 or 48 & is stuck. $1500 obo”
This has been for sale since 2012. Not a whole lot of value here.
“Been sitting for years.
last ran about 10 years ago.
motor turns over.
call or text”

Now powered by a flathead 6.
“Great running, solid Jeep. Flathead 6 cyl New brakes, hubs, drums etc. brand new tires (5), new steering joints, exhaust system, 12v with alternator.
This Jeep runs and drives well on the road and the 4WD works fine.
Possible trade for a YJ Jeep or classic motorcycle /car/ truck. ”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
At least it has the tailgate. I’ve heard those are hard to find.
“Actually it’s the back half of the truck – bed, frame, differential, etc. I know – sacrilege! I didn’t do this and the person that did probably had a good reason.
Regardless – the bed/trailer is for sale. If you’re into Willys Forward Control Trucks you know how rare this is. The condition of the bed is fair but in my opinion restorable. There are certainly some bends and twists and even a very limited amount of cancer but nothing that can’t be fixed. I’m posting lots of pictures so you can see the condition for yourself.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $999.
Looks in good shape.
“sandblasted and primed,spins freely.very rare,rest of the parts are at www.capstanwinch.com”
Vintage set of 10 spline Warn hubs. Seller also has newer set for more money.
“I have two sets of Warn locking hubs. Both are for 10 spline axle shafts and six bolt flange mounting. They are compatible with many years of jeeps.
1. Plastic dial set is in perfect working order. They are also compatible with threaded axle shafts on early jeeps. No need to remove or cut off the shaft, they work with the nut installed. $50
2. Brass dial premium set (Warn part number 29062) are new in box, never installed. These are also compatible with all the same years of vehicles. If used on threaded axle shafts the threads will need to be cut off per Warn’s instructions. These retail for $210. I am selling them for $150.”

UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $2200.
It doesn’t run and has an updated motor.
“Hi all, I have a 1952 M38 Willys Jeep up for sale. Not currently running, but great project for someone who has the time to devote on a rare vehicle. The M38 is the military version of the civilian CJ-3A, one of the last flat fender Willys Jeep made.
Body is in great condition. T-90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer case in good shape. Original block replaced by V6 Vortec engine. Vehicle sold as is condition. Clean title in hand, asking $2,200 obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Looks like all the glass is there.
“Hi I have a used cj2a cab and doors. Came with my jeep but don’t have a need for them. Decent shape for age. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
These appear in good shape and include the centers.
“I have (5) never used ET turbine wheels with multiple center caps and a box of misc lug nuts and washers. The rims are 15 X 7.5 with a 5 X 5.5 bolt pattern. They will fit f-100 / f-150, Bronco E-150 up to 96, Dakota / Durango up to 08, Ram 1/2 ton up to 02, Jeep CJ up to 85, and most Suzuki SUV”
These don’t look very deep, but appear to be roughly 7-8″ inches wide.
“these are a set of four and come with like new wheel lugnuts. Tires are in ruff shape.”

Tuesday’s updates will be arriving late morning (though check out the jeep in the post that follows this one), as will answers to many emails in my inbox. In the meantime, for you early risers who have suffered eWillys withdrawals, here’s an article on FCs to string you along.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
Rare suicide doors. Anyone recognize the hardtop? Could be a Blue Star aluminum top that’s been customized.
“cool little jeep from montana.very original late 40 early 50s. runs ,drives and stops.flat head 4cyl. has cool hardtop and rollbar with suicide doors. 6 volt with generator neat,neat,neat.”
A reader asked if the WILLYS logo stamped on a hood could be used to replace the WILLYS used on the rear of Willys MBs during the war. At first blush, I thought they were different, but had never actually compared the sizes. So, below is a comparison (I randomly grabbed a tub and a hood example off the internet). The top photo shows the rear of a tub (obviously being repaired) and the bottom photo is a hood stamping from a CJ-3B.
As you can see, the war-tub Willys logo has more letter spacing than the post war logo. The spacing within individual letters (the W, T, & S) also is less. The post war letters are taller than the tub letters.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500. (Circa 2019 available for sale in Oregon).
(12/27/2013) Lots of work into this rig.
“1946 willy jeep high performance 350 auto ford 9″ rear end 2wd to much in motor and tranny to list jeep was built from ground up everything is new must see to appreciate.”
Seems a good price.
“Selling a 1965 Willys Wagon, I know what your thinking (you idiot) Willys Wagon were discontinued in 1964, which is true. But they had left over parts and a few were built in 65.
Has original 6 cylinder, over head cam, Tornado engine. Mostly original except front hubs (have the
original ones) and the seat covers. Was running when I parked it several years ago. Was going to
restore it but….things change. Was going to ask 4000.00 and settle for 3000.00 but lets cut to the
chase, it’s $3000.00 period.”

It’s been chopped and modified.
“1956 wagon body on a 1991 Blazer frame, best of both worlds. 4.3L chevy with automatic transmission. Four wheel drive works great with automatic hubs. Strong drive train. New gauge cluster and everything works. Inside still needs finishing but functional. Body has 4″ chop and 8″ stretch to match the frame. Electric sun roof. All work was done in the 90’s so has wear and tear but still solid. This is my daily driver. Will do 75 on the interstate and go straight up a wall in 4×4 low.”
