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 $2000
The front of this has been stretched. It might be on a later CJ-5 chassis.
“Classic Willy’s Jeep for sale as project vehicle. Engine runs well – recently tuned. All four brake cylinders have been replaced as well as the front differential and drive shaft. Interior has been completely stripped of old paint and repainted using truck bed liner for durability. Full roll cage installed although front section is only tacked together with rear section completely welded.”
Hard to tell how much value is here.
“1950 CJ3A original driveline, body shot, frame looks okay. Seats and windshield frame missing. Very narrow 16″ wheels… kind of odd these usually have 16’s”

(07/17/2013) The seller describes the body as a M-38 body, but it’s clearly a MB/GPW.

(07/08/2013) This includes an overdrive. The hood is a fiberglass bobcat. Not sure how it is a 1956.
“Runs good, 4X4 works good. Buick 231 V6 with auto choke. The tranny has four stick shifts with over drive. It will do 65 on the freeway. Dual exhaust. Needs brake work ( needs new rear wheel brakes). I have already replaced most of the brake lines and the drums are 11in instead of 9in. It gets allot of looks and thumbs up. It does need some body work ( has bondo). The windshield is out of the first generation Willy’s military so it has a two piece windshield. I put a wiper motor on the driver side and the passenger side should be a manual wiper but I have not bought it yet. The willy’s is a M38/3A. I put seats and fuel tank out of a 1970 cj5. The top is a custom top.It has doors as well. There is not another one like it in the world. I have the speedometer but it needs a cable and calibrated.

“Selling my Custom built 1946 Willys CJ2A. It has been stretched 2 feet. It sits on a 1976 Chevy 1/2 ton frame. It has power steering Power Disc Brakes, and it has the 350 engine and TH 350 Transmission. The transfer case is a 203 full time unit. The front axle is a Dana 44 and the rear is a GM 12 bolt with G80 Locker. It has custom bead lock wheels and 28″ TSL Mudder tires. The radiator is Aluminum, and sits between the rear frame rails. Engine has a new timing chain, Edelbrock Torker Intake and Edelbrock Carb. The Ignition is a GM HEI with Accel super coil. It has Headlights and a simple wiring system with flip switch and push button starter. I don’t have a title, but any chevy truck title and vin or Jeep title and vin would work, if you want to run it on the street. The intale is a K&N filter mounted high on the rollbar via snorkel, and the jeep will run in the water to the top of the windshield. Suspention is semi hybrid with no shocks, or sway bar for awesome articulation. no rust tub and very good military green paint. This Jeep will practically go anywhere and its comfortable to off road in because of the stretch and bucket seats. The rear seat is removable and seats 2. Please call 308-293-1708 for more information.”

I arrived back in Pasco today after a week+ absence, so I’m spending some time with my honey. No updates Wednesday.
On a side note, just a few miles outside of Renton an early Parkway Conversion drove by me. Not a sight i see every day! It had an early grille.
Dan pointed out that the October 2103 issue of Vintage Truck Magazine has a great looking article about the Traveller by Bill Norris. I’m going to get a copy of that magazine right away!

Buz spotted some photos on Photobucket of a Willys Truck. He thought it might have been a fire truck. I can’t tell for sure. Anyone else think so?

If you like flames, this one might be for you.
“Take a look at this custom vintage 1947 Willys CJ2A. Mostly original ’47 body on a ’66 CJ chassis, it features a Chevrolet 350ci crate motor with Holley Dominator intake and camshaft combo, and a freshly rebuilt Holley Avenger off-road carburetor. Exhaust runs through custom headers and side pipe cherry bomb “mufflers”. Also features a 3-speed manual tranny with low “granny gear”, 3.83 gearing, running on low mileage 33in x 12.5in Interco TSL Thornbird mud-terrain tires mounted on deep dish custom rims. This Jeep features Summit Racing bucket seats with 5-point harness to hold you tight when you’re out on the trail. AMC axles with mechanical locker in the rear. Numerous extra parts included. WAIVER: If you are looking for a nice daily driver, THIS AIN’T IT. This Jeep has no top, no doors, no mirrors, no windshield wipers, no horn, no radio, no heat or A/C. But what it does have, is BALLS. It is a blast to drive, but will take a special owner to make it better. It does have plates on it, I have driven it on the road, but it is better suited as a trail rig. Priced at $4995. Located in Milan Twp. Call or text four four oh – nine one five – three eight eight oh, or email for questions or to arrange a test drive. I’m not accepting trades, just cash, unless you have a decent diesel pick-up.”
This looks like a good price.
“1948 Willy Jeep- new shocks, wheels and tires, new wiring, taillights and top.
Original engine and tow bar. Horse carriage license plates. Only thing it needs is brake work done.

UPDATE: Was $12,500. **SOLD**
Looks nice, though it needs a new driver side window. No silliness (read last line).
“1962 Willy’s Jeep 4×4 Pick-Up. Has been in my family since new in 1962. Restoration in 2005. Needs nothing but replacing driver side window which has a crack. Super Hurricane flat head 6 which is original. Had a new block put in 2010. Kaiser winch on front. 77k on mileage. Runs well, matching full size spare, all gauges and interior are original with the exception of recovering seats, headliner and carpet in 2005. This vehicle has won numerous trophies at local car/truck shows. No rust on the vehicle. Owner’s manual and accompanying original documents in vehicle. Price is always flexible with-in reason.”
It runs, thought it needs a few parts. The rust might be minimal given the top.
“1953 CJ3A Jeep Willys
You will see in the photos this thing is completely original from tires to glass, to the paint and top. The only added feature I am aware of is a tubular steel roll cage that was added. This Jeep was kept in a barn for roughly 20 years. It would be a great Willys Restore Project due to it all being there.
The price for this Jeep is $$1750 OBO. Cash Only Please. This Jeep needs an ignition switch rebuild, a starter solenoid, a battery and two battery terminal cable connections to run. We carb started it when the battery and solenoid were still attached and it cranked within 5 minutes!.

The seller describes this as a prototype CJ-2A, but it looks more like a VEC CJ-2A.

Well, this is an odd one. You can view a full size original Jeep Comic here.
“This little comic book is a vintage reproduction of a JEEP COMIC BOOK! FROM 1944! Completely handmade. The cover is illustrated on the front and back. Each of the 10 pages ARE EXACT REPLICAS OF THE ORIGINAL COMIC BOOK and tells the complete story! Most dollhouse comic books do not open or have blank pages. This one has 10 real illustrated pages! A hard-to-find item! So heart-warming and cute in such a tiny version!! A darling and funny story! The back cover is a vintage comic book ad for a GAG BOOK! It has been reproduced so small the images can be seen, but the font would need magnification to be read. This comic book measure approx 7/8 inch tall by 5/8 inch wide. Not a toy. Chocking hazard! This is an adult collector’s piece.”
