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 .

<– Day 32 – Apr. 20th: A Sunday Drive to Santa Rosa | OVERVIEW | Day 34 – Apr. 22nd: Old Town Sacramento –>
Apparently, Snoopy can be a little frisky sometimes!
Fun day today! We met some great people and had a beautiful drive through the Sonoma and Napa areas.
We drove from Santa Rosa to Sacramento on Monday.
The morning began with a trip down to Tree Line Teardrop Trailers in Petaluma where we met Tom and Paty Perkins. You can also find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TreelineTeardrops.
Tom had contacted me a few months ago about finding a flat fender. He’d explained that the first vehicle he’d driven was his dad’s CJ-2A. So, he was interested in finding another one. As we exchanged emails, I learned he was building teardrop trailers. Fascinated by them, we agreed that Ann and I would stop by during our trip.
Paty and Tom quickly made us feel at home as they showed us the two different trailers in their driveway, one an off road version and one a lightweight (700lb) road cruiser that was being picked up by the new owner that day. One look at both of the trailers and it is easy to see how well made they are. This reflects Tom’s background in construction and finish work. Both Ann and I were very impressed, from the quality of the workmanship and materials, to the choices in stove top (high quality, sturdy, high btu burners) and portable fridge (ARB). Each trailer is built to order by Tom.
Perhaps the best selling point was how easy it was for Ann to climb inside. The doorways are wide and even with Ann’s bad knee and brace, she had no problem slipping inside. So sold is Ann, that she’s reviewing each trailer option as I type this.
Thanks to Tom and Paty for sharing the trailers, the bees, the chickens and more!
Oscar shared these pics of a CJ-3B coffee bar from his friend Ron, who accompanied him to Colombia. Oscar shared his own pics in this post.
The jeep looks to have some type of pop top to create more room.
Hugo spotted this 1944 MB at the Louwman Museum in the Netherlands. Here’s the museum’s link to the jeep: http://www.louwmanmuseum.nl/ontdekken/ontdek-de-collectie/willys-jeep-model-mb

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This one is worth a look.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with all original running gear, flat head 4 cylinder 3 speed transmission for wheel drive. Sound body with no cancer spots throughout. Has been garage kept. Runs and drive well. Top shown in picture is only one that it includes.”
UPDATE: **Sold** Was $4000.
“I have an unrestored 1942 Military Early Flat grill Willy’s (MB) for sale. The first 25,000 MB’s had these flat steel grills. It wears a cosmetic restoration with many decent parts on the jeep and is a nice 25 footer, but is not a restored vehicle. Good original 1942 MB restorable body. Will need correct floors and other items to make a fully functional original World War Two MB. It is complete, the engine is free and looks like making it run should be not a major effort, I bought it to swap out the GPW Ford parts on it, for my GPW. I did replace with 1942 Willy’s MB parts where needed. I will provide a notarized “bill of sale”, I bought last fall and do not intend on restoring this vehicle, I have my hands full with my other jeeps and my small ranch. It is as restorable jeep, but does need TLC. I am currently eliminating many of my project cars I will never finish. I have other vehicles for sale. These are current just taken pictures, please ignore that date on the pictures.”
Looks good for the price.

Looks solid.
“This is a real head-turner. 1950 Willy’s Jeep, restored “original correct” — all original stock, no major mods. True Colorado vehicle that spent most of its life in Glenwood Springs, CO, before relocating to Evergreen, CO. The engine has not been rebuilt (just body & upholstery resto – including back seat) but it starts easy, runs clean and does not burn oil. Perfect for cruising around town on date night, but don’t plan any long trips on I-70 unless you are towing it, or retired. Odometer reads 62,149. Clean title, and everything works except the gas gauge. Soft top & tow bar included. Always garaged since restoration.
Local buyers with cash only. Thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000

“I’m selling my 1947 willys cj2a. everything is original except paint, upholstery, and a few gauges. Motor runs great, transmission shifts smooth, everything mechanically is fine. Had the cylinder walls scoped, and they are great, no pitting, wear marks ect.
The previous owner replaced the rusted sheet metal, applied a rubber coating to the floor.
The major issue is the paint.. the previous owner got tired of it and rushed it, there’s drips, a few scratches, looks like he applied a think coat of body filler and didn’t do that good of a job sanding it, so it’s a bit uneven and what not.
A good sanding, and re-paint, and she will be show room ready. from 10ft away, she looks perfect, but once up close the flaws come out.
there’s some slight body damage to the right fender well as seen in the pic.
It needs a radiator… it gets hot after driving it for a bit. but that’s the only mechanical thing wrong, new water pump installed, converted to 12 volt.
The lights, blinkers ect need to be wired to the switch I have, I have everything, just haven’t installed it yet.
can send more pictures on request.
Have clear Mississippi title, it will cost 180.00 to transfer into florida. That fee is up to the buyer.
Will consider trades for willys pickups, rat rods, anything old and unique really.”
UPDATE: Was $900. **SOLD**
Has column shift. Might be some parts value here.
” am selling my 1946 Jeep CJ2A project. I just don’t see myself having enough time to dedicate to this project right now. This is the first CJ (Civilian Jeep) produced after WWII and has a lot of the same parts as the military version but has some interesting differences. It has a “three on the tree”, a lever actuated transfer dual range transfer case, and a power take off (PTO). I started disassembling the vehicle for rebuilding so it is pretty much in parts now. It is mostly complete. The body is rough but rebuildable. All of the important parts with the Willy’s logo are in very decent condition and are worth more than I’m asking. The floor boards under the seats are gone. A lot of these vehicles have been parted out but I’m hoping this one will have a chance to run again. The engine has a small crack which, acording to my machine shop can be welded and the engine rebuilt. The engine was not seized and so most of the parts are reuseable except that it probably will need oversized pistons. The copper radiator alone is worth around $300. The frame has been welded on by a previous owner that installed some sort of a plow on it. This would be a great project for the guy who likes this sort of thing.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $995. Was restored for 2014 Memorial Day weekend and now in Jeep Plant in Toledo.
“1942 Willys jeep, WWII veteran, MB/M-38 project. 6 cylinder F6-161 Hurricane engine, 90 hp, Dana transmission, transfer case, and rear end (all turn freely). Engine is complete but DOES NOT RUN. Has tow bar for 2″ ball, spare tire, all seats present but no cushions, olive drab color, 2 part windshield
Corrosion on body pans but frame is solid. No data plates found but paperwork in glove box indicated a 1942 model military classic, last registered in Texas 1979. No title! Was found and purchased from junk dealer Wimberley, Tx. I will provide a bill of sale. This project will take a true serious restorer that can do body and engine work. However, you can’t beat the price for this old veteran. $995.”
Listed as a CJ-3B, it looks to be a 3A with a 2A body.

Given the winch, this might be a good price if the engine spins.
“1948 Willys CJ2A flat fender Jeep, stock engine and transmission, Dana 27 front and Dana 44 rear 5:38 gears, upgraded GM steering box and steering linkage, Jeep J3000 big brakes, 34/9.5/15 Super Swampers in near new condition, full cage with complete wrap around rear passengers and side gussets, Warn winch. . . It has been sitting in the garage for 11 years, it will start but probably will need the fuel tank cleaned out. The passenger side windshield is broken and the top is not in the best of shape. Too many hobbies have left this sitting, time for someone to use it again. Sorry for the pictures but it is packed in the garage.

This has a few updates.
“I have a 1949 willys jeep. I picked it up a couple of years ago to have a jeep. It had the Buick 225 odd fire v6 in it. It also has a t-90 transmission with an overdrive unit on it. It has a 4-barrel eldebrock carborator on it with the automatic choke. It has 10 miles on the new motor. This is a project jeep. It does start and move under its own power but still needs some small stuff that needs to be done. It has a clean title. I’m asking $5000 obo or will trade for a camp trailer. I will send pics on request.
Runs, but needs a few things.
“All original body and drive line, less than 30000 original miles. runs good but needs new batt., brake master cylinder and a little elctrical work on lighting (maybe just a switch). New spark plugs. Collector plates. I have a gallon of OD green military carc paint to go with if you want. $5000.00 obo. Clear title in hand. I will not respond to questions asking if I still have this, it will be deleted when gone.”
