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: Price dropped to $7200.
(02/20/2022) This fiberglass body may be the 3B Bobcat version. It’s got the wide brim in the back and the long steps. But, it is difficult to tell for sure.

If you want to replace your Kayline doors, this might be an option.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/pts/7550912155.html
“Here is a pair of near perfect Kayline fabric Jeep doors
that were occasionally on my CJ3A. I believe they
will also fit the CJ2A models.
These have the zippered windows and a large pocket
on the inside. Handles inside and outside are included.
They were seldom on my Jeep so are in near perfect
condition, only needing a little cleaning.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(02/01/2022) Listed as a 1949, the serial number for the chassis is near the end of the 1948 production run. This lacks an engine. The hardtop does appear custom.
“1948 Willys CJ2A Jeep. $2000/obo. Sincere, old Montana jeep, surprisingly rust-free body, some bondo. No motor. Title (Helena, 1971); title says 1949 but I was informed the serial number is 1948 production. Unique, custom, well-built, steel full cab, therefore no original windshield frame or tailgate. Floors minor rust-out, bed very solid and straight, toolbox replaced. Some metal sheeting tacked on exterior of body. Original radiator and toolbox lid included. 16” rims, tires have air but need replaced”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/02/022) These hubs look similar to Cutlas Bulldog hubs, but the design of the mid-section sides just below the “knob” is shaped slightly different (larger side scallops) than the image on the Bulldog brochure. Given the two section design, I will guess that these were a transition hub from the Cutlas Model 100-2 conical design to the later Bulldog hub design? Anyone have insights on these? I don’t have a brochure for these.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/wvl/pts/7555714076.html
“Cutlas lock hubs, 10 spline for old jeeps and scouts. May trade for ammunition or towards firearms. No reloads!”
Bulldog example:
Here is another example in my archives. I also labeled these, perhaps incorrectly, “Bulldog” hubs:
I just discovered this set of Cutlas hubs for Chevys on eBay. They look like Bulldog hubs, but have no scallops at all along the mid section’s side:
Andy spotted this truck with a rare electric lift gate.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/834637061012063
“Rare find. Electric tale gate. Truck runs. Titled. Some rust. Or the best offer.”
Runs, could use some brake work.

“1948 Willys Jeep , Hard Top and Roll Bar , runs , drives, stops not pretty but all there and original…….NO KEYBOARD COWBOYS will you trade NO will you take $$$$$ NO Will not answer is it still available. It’s in New River Arizona Call with your questions”
The Desert Dog PVCs and rims do not go with the jeep.

“1942 Ford GPW Script. This is one of the first GPW’s made, and it still has its GPW script on the back. The windshield is not stock, and neither are the seats. The dash is in good shape except it has a hole for an aftermarket radio in it, and the floor was clearanced for a larger transmission. The vehicle has a slight body lift, along with very rare Rancho lift springs. It has a flanged Dana 44 rear end. The frame is fully boxed, and a dual exhaust system is ran from from the engine bay to the back. My best guess is this vehicle is set up for a flathead V8. The serial number is visible, however there is no title for the vehicle. Overall it’s in great condition. The original paint is under the white. No engine/transmission/transfer case. (Wheels and tires pictured not included)”
G. Binks shared this toy jeep that badly needs a restoration.

This is a project.
“1955 Kaiser Willys M38A1 “Nekaf” Manufactured in Ohio and assembled in the Netherlands. It was used by the Dutch Military and then made its way back here to the states. The Jeep was complete and driving when I bought it but it had significant rust damage to the tub. I stripped the Jeep down to the frame. Engine removed. Frame was blasted, primed and painted. Brand new replica body was primed and painted (still have original rusty tub). All other large body parts were blasted, primed and painted. Engine cleaned and repainted. I have several spare body parts, and new radiator. Most other essential parts are ready to be reinstalled. Small items need some cleaning and paint. I have just about everything needed to reassemble, minus the wiring harness and some other small parts. Have a gas tank, but it needs to be cleaned or replaced. All parts can be easily found on eBay or military vehicle sites. Have original manuals, current registration and CA title Will not ship, but can load”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $8500.
(08/26/2022) Not quite “all original”. I can’t tell by the two pics if there is just surface rust and peeling paint or more extensive rust.

“1941 Army Jeep I Learned how to drive in this Jeep. All original with antique plates . Willing to trade for an RV or Truck preferably an RV no low ballers I will not take $3.000 thank you have a great day”
This is unusual! You can see the MB/GPW dash, so it does have at least some jeep DNA.

“1942 willys jeep dune buggy project. 1993 jeep grand cherokee frame and 4.0 engine. It Runs, drives and stops and the 4×4 works. Still needs some work before taking her out though. Could also be a sweet rat rod project. I was gonna rebuild it but some things have come up and I could use the money. Price is $2200 obo. Price will go up as I continue to work on it. ”
UPDATE: Any experts out there familiar with 1950s corn pickers? Barry Thomas from Farmjeep.com asked me to ask you all if anyone knows who built the Corn Picker branded by Willys-Overland (see brochure below). He thinks it was CO-OP, but doesn’t know for sure. You can view his whole corn-picking post here: https://www.farmjeep.com/farm-jeeps-at-corn-harvest-time/
In the meantime, enjoy this video of a CJ-5 pulling a corn picker:

“CJ2A. Vin says it’s a 1945. Has ford V8 and borg warner overdrive. No title. Runs and drives, has new carburetor. Located in chino valley az.”
UPDATE: SCAMMER!
There was another ad for this that includes a front shot. As you can see, it has a ventilating windshield. https://www.facebook.com/groups/247270289549336/permalink/1174608823482140
This late model CJ-3B was spotted by Matt. I saw another ad for this on Facebook that shows the driver’s side. (Note: The hood is not as bad as I thought).

“Selling this left behind by my father

Payment is upon delivery.
Text on…..(623) 252-0679”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Has some floor rust, but otherwise looks pretty good. Includes a rear PTO gearbox and overdrive.
“Willys 1953 CJ3B bought 2 years ago we’re it had been living on a farm. Been doing work on it since getting it to run and drive. It has been repainted at some point in its life to red from green. Always thought I would take it back to green at some point. New wiring from Walchs, all new fuel system, new seats, plugs, wires, battery, oil pan and valve cover, oil side cover gaskets. It has rear PTO, overdrive, extra roll bar and rear tire swing that will go with it. I’ve had it running and driving around the neighborhood with the kids but I can’t seem to get it fired back up currently. Has to be alternator or starter solenoid I’m thinking. Time to let go for someone else to cross the finish line with it. Title in hand.”
This DJ-3A was spotted by Matthew. Looks in good shape, though it has been converted to 4WD. Has the KS 0-8 Speedometer.

“Pleased to offer this 1948 Willys Jeep CJ2a that has been recently restored to a very high standard by a notable Jeep Restoration outfit here out West. Quality and attention to detail shows everywhere. Built from a solid California example, this Jeep retains all of It’s Factory Original Sheet Metal and Tub. Finished off in a beautiful Desert Tan with a fresh Black Vinyl Top, Side Curtains and Doors Kit. Very tasteful presentation without straying away from a Factory Original appearance. The Interior is nicely finished out as well.
