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 .
Maybe there’s value?

“Willys Jeep for sale, runs, original motor, original tranny, not original seats, original rollbar, windshield and frame in great shape, bought 4 wheels for it, crappy tires on right now. This is a somewhat a project vehicle, but with some new tires and a small amount of work would be absolutely fine for 4 wheeling and hunting. I could part this out for much more than 2500.00 but would like to see the whole jeep go. Light rust, previous owner had carpet in it but I ripped it all out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(06/04/2014) It’s listed as a ’48, but the body is clearly a 3B.
“1948 Willys Jeep
I have owned the Jeep for several years and used it around our ranch, never abused, always stored inside. The tires are almost new, I had the driver’s seat recovered last year and just maintained it the way it should be. The reason for selling the Jeep is our need for a UTV, otherwise we would keep it. The brakes need some work, master cylinder. Almost rust free. For the year and never totally restored it’s in great shape. It’s not perfect !!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was last priced at $20,000.
(05/29/2014) Runs and drives. The photos show no bumpers, glass, grill, lights, window wipers ect, but are all included with the truck with all its original hardware.

(04/17/2014) This has a variety of updates.
“I’ve had this jeep for 4 years. It is drivable and I take it everywhere. It has 3/4 ton Chevy axles and 24 bolt humvee wheels with 37″ military tires with run flats. It need a little bit of everything and now that I live on the beach I don’t have anywhere to continue working on it. The crazy stuff been done but it does need to be finished. Ie: tie the cage in to the frame, relocate the shock mounts, install the front driveshaft. So this jeep does need to go to someone who has some technical skills and can weld. This cj6 is a rare model and it gets tons of attention. It’s so much fun to own and drive but the time has come to pass it on. It has a Buick 231 v6, rebuilt Buick 350 transmission. I 281 tcase, whatever the full size Chevy tcase is. I’ve got an extra one with the opposite output just case you feel like switching front axles. Front axle is a 10 bolt, corporate 14 bolt rear with welded rear-end. It’s currently registered, insured and drivable. Just a little love. It’s parked in Ocean beach where West point loma ends if you’d like to see it. I’m not in a hurry to sell it and am firm on the price. I’m not interested in any trades of any kind. Thanks. Adam”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4400.
Runs and drives.

This is framed and under glass.
“The poster is a “Plaistow Pictorial – Fact Sheet Number 17” and appears to be in very good condition. It is encased beneath glass and is mounted in a wood frame. The frame has a few minor blemishes. The poster shows images of various Jeeps from 1940 through 1986. It also depicts the “Anatomy of the War time Jeep” and has a narrative of the history of the Jeep. The frame measures 37.5 inches wide by 27.75 inches tall.”
Here’s a cool drag jeep photo.

I just did a post about this zoo jeep a few days ago. Now, you can own it!
“FOR SALE is a 1946 Willys CJ-2A jeep with an interesting history. This came from the North Carolina Zoo in Ashboro, N.C. It was a featured exhibit there for a number of years. It was in front of the dinosaur exhibit. The zoo rotated it out of the exhibit and sold it to a zoo employee who I bought it from. The body is 100% Perfect without even a pinhole of rust. I was told that the zoo spent $4000.00 having it restored prior to exhibiting it. It needs some love now to restore it to it’s former glory but it would be a worthwhile project.”
Looks good.
“For sale is a 1952 Willys Jeep M-38 A1 Military version.
Runs and drives great.”

The only photo is of the CJ-2A. There’s a CJ-3A and MB parts jeep, too.
“I have decided to get out of the old Jeep hobby and sell all of my remaining vehicles and parts. I will attempt to sell everything to one buyer first and if no singe buyer emerges I will list everything separate.
I have:
1946 Willys Jeep CJ-2A,
L-134 flathead 4 cylinder with less than 2000 miles on rebuild, Solex carb, Petronix ignition and 12 volt conversion. T90/18 trans and transfer case, Dana 44 rear. Body was taken off frame and repaired with pop riveted sheet metal. Floor boards and hat channels were replaced along with tool compartment floor. The Jeep is not original in anyway but is period correct. Nothing on this Jeep came on a 1946 Jeep. The windshield frame is off a 1942 GPW, the hood off a 49, body tub somewhere around 1950, engine is late 40’s or early 50’s, transfer case and transmission are earlier pieces with equal length handles, etc. It has been rebuilt dozens of times over its life.
Paint is rattle can and looks like it, but the body is very solid.
New gauges except fuel, no fuel gauge in vehicle. Tail lights are new and headlights and marker lights work. No turn signals, horn, or wipers. No top.
Ron spotted this nice looking jeep for sale.

“This is a 1948 Willys M38.

Looks good, but needs a little work.
“Looking to trade a running and driving 1947 CJ2A. The jeep has been in the family for 25 years and has been cared after. Brakes are all new. Carb is freshly rebuilt. Run’s great. Body has bondo in it – this was only meant to be a driver – not a show winner. Though it does look great going down the road. Has aftermarket seats which are really comfortable for those longer trips.
I’m looking to trade a jeep for a jeep. I would like a CJ-7 that may need some TLC, but passes a PA inspection. Rust does not scare me…but please do not waste my time. Please text or email me what you have and lets work something out.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**. Was $8500
“This is your chance to own a piece of Americana! This post war jeep will give you endless fun on or off the road. Always meticulously taken care off, this jeep has flawless paint and interior. The seats have all been recently repadded and recovered. All of the instruments are new, as well as all of the lights. The carbouretor was rebuilt this month along with a new fuel plus vacuum pump. An oil change is always preformed every 250 miles. The engine is in top shape, it faithfully starts every time with no hesitation. I really hate to see it go, but I am trying to raise money for college. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.”
The cage and the fenders give this crawler an unusual look.
“1948 jeep willy military , totally custom paint, body, suspension, roll cage, rock crawler bumpers and fenders, rear diff Dana 44/front Dana 30, original Go Devil engine, and three stick tranny, built for off-road.asking $3900 or OBO. Must sell, located in Miami.”

UPDATE: Was $5300. **SOLD**
That front bumper is unusual.
“This rare 1947 Willy’s purchased was by my dad several years ago and used to cruise the shores and get to exclusive hunting spots on Lake McConaughy in Nebraska. Unfortunately, he recently passed away so we brought the it back in hopes of finding a good home for it. My dad loved this vehicle, and as you can see, he put his creativity and character into it – he loved camo! It comes complete with three tool boxes that actually have supplies in them.
As far as we can see, most primary parts are original, however at some point it was switched to a 12 volt system, we are assuming due to the wench requirements. It runs pretty good considering it’s 66 years old, but probably could use a good oil change, some work on the brakes, and new tires. It is not street legal and probably wouldn’t be without some significant alterations.
If you are looking for a fun vehicle to go hunting or run around lake shores in, this is the one for you! Or, if you’re looking for a rare find to fully restore, this is a great one. Not everyone will get the opportunity to restore a 1947 Willy’s as apparently this type of classic military type of is becoming more and more rare.”
UPDATE: Was $1950 **Status Unknown**
(04/20/2014) Lots of early stuff on this one.
“1946 Barn Fresh Willy’s jeep. Purchased three vehicles and had to purchase this one with the group. Selling as is. Needs restored.”
It’s a project.
“Here is a 42 ford gpw, this jeep has had alot of work done to it so far and more to follow, I have repaired the body to make it a decent reenactor jeep, the frame is very soild as well, it has all original running gear minus the engine which is a cj2a,I do however have a ford block that will need a complete rebuild to throw in with the jeep, I have, front seats, two f marked fenders, f marked hood, f marked grill,and a few windshields.I am selling the jeep as a project for 3500$ as I continue to work on the jeep and fix parts the price will go up. I have mostly everything for the jeep minus small parts but this is a great start.”
