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 $4000.
It looks like there are several trucks included in the package.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(04/17/2012) Given the later model axles, there may be some parts value here, but not a whole jeep.
“his jeep has been my project for several years but I just don’t have the money to finish it and I don’t think I will any time soon. It has a complete body and I have alot of parts I have collected for it over the years. The body is complete but not all the body parts are on it in the picture It has a transmission (non PTO) but no engine. It has the usual rust problems and the frame is no good but I have an extra frame as well as later model axles and springs that are heavier than the stock ones. I would like to get around 700 or 800 but feel free to make me an offer. All the stuff I have for it is worth about 400-500 just in scrap weight and the parts are probably worth over 700 but I don’t want to part it out. I would like to see it go to someone who w ill be able to finish it. I can send pics opon request. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $900.
(01/12/2014) It says there is a rear PTO, but I don’t see the unit on the back.
“1948 WILLYS cj2a with rear power take off with 63 cj3b engine complete with 2 replacement fenders and grill comes with plow parts or repair engine doesn’t run will need to be towed 845-518 four 034”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(10/04/2013) This CJ-3A has the same fiberglass seats as Biscuit.
“53 Willy’s with 283 bored .06 over T90 trans with overdrive 5:11 gears front and back brakes are redone new oil pan gasket hoses starter motor runs strong only thing is needs a gas tank tank is rusted”
UPDATE: **SOLD** on eBay for $455. There’s a discussion about it on the CJ-3A Page.
“Koenig Model R100J Forward/Reverse PTO Winch. It mounts directly to a CJ2A, CJ3A or CJ3B, with the integral mounting bracket. PTO is off of the crankshaft pulley. This winch is off of my 1949 CJ3A and is very unique and rare; in fact I have never seen another one with this type PTO. This may be just what you need to make your restoration a one of a kind. It is in excellent working condition with the exception of a broken ear on the engagement lever and that part is available on the internet.
Included are the winch with integral mounting bracket, engine bracket assembly for PTO and lube block. The winch is complete and works but the PTO is missing the parts noted below. The missing parts will have to be machined. There is a company who reproduces a similar sliding clutch assembly for Land Rovers that may adapt. Note – The pictured engine IS NOT included and was used to illustrate the mounting of the engine PTO bracket only.
Not included:
Sliding clutch assy. (coupling winch to crankshaft nut)
Roller Fairlead
Cab Control lever assy.
Roller Chain (between sprockets on winch and PTO bracket)
Please contact me if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them.”
Ann’s been in a quilting mood lately. And, when she gets in a mood, she gets productive. She’s sewn together around 10 quilts of different types in the past couple of months. Recently, she started looking for flat fender fabric (who could that quilt be for?), however all she has found is “Tugger” patterns.
Anyone ever run across flat fender quilting cloth?
Here’s the Tugger swatches. Ann found this one of a flying Tugger:
Bill Dedo contacted me yesterday. He’s hoping to track down a 1949 CJ-3A of his that his mother sold years ago. He has learned it might be a restoration project in Alta, California. If you happened to have any leads, add a comment to this post.
Here are some photos:
UPDATE: The winner is Anonymous at $200. Thanks for the unexpected response everyone and a special thanks to Steve Vogelzang for making it happen!
Steve sent me this original 1960 FC-170 manual in the hopes its sale would raise a little money for eWillys. One of the unique things about this brochure is that it appears to have been in a Chevrolet engineering library. There was one of these available on eBay for $45, but that one is now gone. I’ll start the bidding at $30.
Along with the brochure is an FC-170 brochure. These run between $5 and $10 on eBay.
This was up for auction last Saturday. I wonder if it sold?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(12/13/2014) Both are projects.
“I have two Willys FC170’s for sale. I would also consider trading even for a J series pickup truck or a toyota 4×4 truck. I have 3 of these forward controls and I have come to realize I will never fix up all 3 of them. I am keeping the one I have the most money and time in and letting the other 2 go. They are projects and I have not messed with either of them or tried to get them running. They are both fairly complete with enough to make one complete truck if you combined the two easily. The orange truck is in really nice shape body wise (if I had got it first I would have used it as it is worlds better than what I am working with). The green truck has some body damage but its not very rusty either. Both are flathead 6 with the t90 three speeds and dana18 transfer cases. Green one is 1959 and Orange is a 1960.”
UPDATE: Still Available
The CJ-2A looks in good shape. It may go quickly. It is priced at $5,580, but you can also make an offer.

These photos appear to have come from this Danish website: http://www.armyvehicles.dk. It took some searching to find them.
Charles sent this as well. I can’t remember if I’ve posted this before or not, but it’s worth a repost:
The envelope is ripped, but the picture is great. It looks a lot like a slat grille.
“For sale is an envelope that would have been used for a soldier’s correspondence during World War II. It features a cartoon of a soldier driving a jeep. This item is copyright 1942 by Porto-Server of Chicago. The graphics are great; the envelopehas been torn at the end opposite the cartoon.”
I’ve seen these in chrome, but never in gold.

A friend of mine is looking for the following hard-to-find parts for his farm jeep. He’s a serious buyer, but not real good with the internet, so has asked if I would help him try to find them. He’s willing to pay for shipping (using Uship) from anywhere in the US.
– Newgren lift
– Newgren single plow (or any other implements with tag)
– dual wheel adapters
– Koenig pto twin stick (50 & 58)
– Koenig half cab (complete and with tag)

(11/18/2013) “I have a 1948 willys cj2a for sale. I have had it for a couple years and been fixing it up to run around in, but don’t drive it that often. It has a new radiator, hoses, thermostat, carburetor, fuel pump, fuel tank, brake lines, shocks, tires, clutch and just has primer right now.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“Alright CL, up for sale is my ’49 CJ2A. It’s got a 4 cylinder flat head and 3 speed tranny. Little background, I was given this by my grandfather a few years ago before he died, I had the intentions on making it a project for myself, but it’s just gonna take too long for me. It’s a restoration, not a project. Before I was given it he primarily used it around the property, my uncle told me he rebuilt the motor and tranny a few years before it was given to me. It doesn’t run now as i let it sit, i’m sure with new plugs, a carb cleaning and some fresh gas it will though. I always loved this thing so I’m not gonna let it go for dirt cheap, they’re not too easy to come by, but I also know it’s no museum peace,the body is pretty bad. Frame is surprisingly decent. No seats or seat brackets, when i first got it the seats were shot so I cut them out and planned on welding in new brackets for larger seats, but never did. It was always in a carport until last year when the snow destroyed it. Now it has multiple tarps over it. Look up what these go for, and make an offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2850.
It needs some parts.
“No engine or transmission very little rust, windshield has a nick in it. rear glass good, door glass cracked. awesome wheeling project. Tim Allen just paid 40000 for a completely restored one in Arizona. clean colorado title”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. No price.
Engine needs work.
“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep – Has hard top, wide wheels, back seat. Does not run right now, but when ran blew blue smoke. Have extra engine – needs crank polished and put back together. Other than the engine, all original and body in good condition.”
