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 $11,900
The seller notes this belonged to Dick Cepek.
“1946 Willys Jeep
I purchased this jeep from the president of the Dick Cepek Company
at a four wheel drive show in Los Angeles in 1983. He told me it had
belonged to Dick Cepek before it was converted. It is currently not
registered and hasn’t been since 2003 , the title is clean. It runs great.
V6 engine Hurst transmission
Email with any questions or if you want more pictures.”
This jeep appears to have a replacement body. I like the hardtop/doors setup. I don’t recognize it.
“I have a 1953 Willys Jeep with a snow plow for sale. Fiberglass top, roll bar, lock out hubs, engine heater, 2000cc Ford motor. Three speed with high and low gears plus power take off. Used it this winter to push the snow”

John spotted this great deal. Note the ‘newer’ gauge cluster in the dash. Has toyota motor.
“1948 Willys CJ2A serial number 187738 with early Jeep-A-Trench option including a partial of the well pulling attachment to go with it. It also has a Sneker Snow plow mount (no blade).
The Good:
1) Jeep is incredibly solid top and bottom…. all hat channels are perfect and tool box is perfect.
2) trencher is complete and functioning
3) jeep has an original issued title that is clean (pretty cool as the vehicle type is listed as “ditch digger”
4) jeep has known history.
The Bad:
1) Although the body has no rust, it has had several mods. trimmed here, there, and everywhere.
2) non running Toyota engine installed (the rest of drive train is original)
Asking $1500″
UPDATE: Was $3750. **SOLD**
Not the best pics, but appears to be worth a look.
“Classic old Jeep. All original except converted to 12v. Runs great a real blast to drive. Has tow bar & wired for tow lights. Leaks a little GO90.”
This has an interesting history. I’m not sure how it ended up with a Nevada title though.
“I can’t find any information on this Jeep. It has the Willys Hurricane 2.2 L W/2 speed powerglide automatic. I purchased this jeep many years ago and was told by the previous owner that it was a security vehicle for the university of Washington. Body is great. It needs a total restore. All original except the seats. Has not been started in years. I was going to restore for my gran daughter . But ran out of energy. I don’t know the value of it, so i’m taking offers. Have clean Navada title.”

Update: sold quickly. Was listed at $1500.
Motor rebuilt, but not put back in. Looks promising.
“42 jeep all complete original 4 cylinder motor in good shape for being 70 years old motor was rebuilt never installed firm on price
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
May be worth a look.
“Here ya go….. 1947 willys cJ2A. New fuel system, carb, brake system, cushions, two extra front seat frames, new battery, cables, lots of more stuff for it. Floor sealant and coating stuff, and a military star stencil kit! Asking $ 4,500 OBO”

This wagon has some updates.
“1964 Jeep Willy nicely done older restoration two wheel drive with a1990 4.0 fuel injected inline six .with a four speed auto transnission. restoration done about 20000 miles ago feels good to drive and runs 75+ mph .and is very dependable”
Base on the motor and the year, I suspect this is a CJ-3A with a 3B body.
“1950 Willys Jeep: Good bones minimal rust, mechanically sound with original engine however previous owners may have used expired poultry to apply top coat paint. If you are a latte drinking hipster lacking calluses on your hands this vehicle may not be for you. This vehicle is for the guy who has shotgun shells in his dungaree pockets, dirt under his finger nails and may associate the term drive through dinner to the bugs collected in his teeth in route to a destination.
New items include: tires, hoses, 12 v system, alternator, gages, seats, steering wheel w/integrated horn, exhaust, turn indicators, shocks, brakes, etc.”

Nothing fancy here, but runs.
“V6 Buick 231 odd fire runs drives stops”
http://lansing.craigslist.org/cto/4399794242.html
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2500.
(03/31/2014) This runs and drives and includes an overdrive.
“1948 Jeep Willys CJ2A. Buick engine, T90, T18, Warn overdrive. This jeep has not been fully restored so it’s not perfect, with that being said this jeep runs and drives. All the electrical works and it has an aftermarket heater. It’s very solid and can be put to use just the way it is or tear it down and do a full restore. Has a clean Oregon tittle with current tags. The only reason I’m selling it is to pay taxes that I was not expecting.”
http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/cto/4417379368.html
UPDATE: **Status Unknown**
Has a government ID plate.
“I have a 1964 Kaiser Jeep Willys CJ3b that is all stock.. I bought it from a guy who had assembled it after being in a crate from the military. I bought it some 12 years ago where it has sat in a garage for all these years due to other projects. I have finally came to the realization I’m not going to get to it nor use it. It is currently not running although I did have it running a months back but the fuel line and carb are clogged.”
Runs, but needs some brakes. Worth a look.
“Original 4 Cylinder motor was rebuilt. Brakes need to be worked on but does run well. Feel free to contact me you have any questions.”
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/cto/4418244098.html
Possibly a fiberglass body? Note how the roll bar’s loop is bent so it can mount to the frame.
“1949 Willys Jeep For sale. Runs, in good condition. 4000 or best offer, call for more information.”
http://muskegon.craigslist.org/cto/4405921327.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
Looks like it needs some work, but it runs.
“Runs and drives. Original flathead. This thing will climb over itself! Fun toy for hunting or just climbing walls.”
Looks like there is some value here.
“I’ve got 2 cj5’s that i want to sell. One is complete with little rust but a bad frame. Its a 59 if i recall correctly, it does not have a title. The other has a good frame, but bad tub. It is a 63 and has a title. Bought one to finish the other but have no time, and lost all motivation. Both in running order. So thats 2 134f engines 2 t90 transmissions and transfer cases. Have some extra parts to go with. 2000 obo they go together. The yellow one has been disassembled for sandblasting and the tub was no good. Frame was painted and the engine tranny and transfer case are all set in place, its ready for the other tub to be placed on.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Runs, needs work. windshield looks military to me.
“1946 Willy’s jeep.. been patched up and the brakes don’t work… only. A drivers seat right now… this will start up and run and drive .. comes with reman master cylinder and the rest of the brake overhaul stuff..no title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.

Most of this week Ann and I stayed with Josh and his wife Quinn. Josh is a long time friend of mine that I haven’t seen in nearly four years (and had yet to meet Quinn and their new son Jacob). So, we spent a couple evenings having a few drinks and catching up (yes, probably more important than even eWillys!). I even got a chance to do some cooking: poached salmon in a mushroom stock with rice pilaf for dinner and some eggs benedict with hollandaise made, in part, from a vinegar/shallot reduction (best hollandaise I think I’ve ever made from scratch — sorry, no pics).
On Wednesday April 9th Ann and I made it back to Anaheim for day two of our Disney adventure, this time on the Disneyland side. It was a good day and we stayed until the very end to watch the water show and fireworks. I can’t imagine the coldest of hearts doesn’t feel their inner child peak out as disney music booms from the speakers while the water shows, dancing, and fireworks fire up the imagination. Here are a few pics:
Welcome to Disneyland!
Me about to ride the Thunder Train.

After a thorough exploration of the park, I concluded there are no jeeps on the premises. However, during the Jungle ride, I am pretty sure I spotted an upside down Mighty Mite. Though I couldn’t positively prove this was the case, after Googling it, I discovered there are pics of a Mighty Mite from the Disney World Jungle Cruise on the G503 site. I guess I’ll just have to go back and investigate more . . .
