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 .
Charles forwarded these photos. The first one shows the former queen BEATRIX of the netherlands ( who just passed the crown to her son a few weeks ago).
Marc spotted this on eBay. The auction ended, but I’m sure the seller will be happy to sell it. Note the muffler winding under the front frame rails.
“Hi, and welcome! Thanks for stopping by. You are looking at a 5×7 photograph printed on FujiFilm Crystal Archive emulsion paper depicting one of the first American Jeeps to penetrate into Germany during World War II. Driving the Jeep is T/5 Charles D. Hiller of East Syracuse, New York. Sitting next to him is a Belgian patriot in an American uniform, holding an M1 Garand. His name was Henri Souvee of Liege, Belgium. The photo was taken in Roetgen, Germany on September 10, 1944.”

The bidding on this ended, but I’m sure it will get relisted.

UPDATE: **SOLD** No Price.
This might be worth a look. No price listed. The seller has some newer jeeps for sale as well.
“1952 willys cj3b high hood very original, NOT RUSTY”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
There appears to be at least some value here.
“NO EMAILS PLEASE………PHONE CALLS ONLY
1962 Willy’s Jeep $1000 obo
I am listing this vehicle for my Father-in Law. This was his old driveway plow Jeep. It does come with a plow and frame. This vehicle would need a full restoration.
4 cylinder
4 Speed manual
Manual 4wd
This vehicle hasn’t run in several years but is currently being stored indoors.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(06/12/09) The seller is kicking himself that he left this truck outside, which resulted in some surface rust.
“All original with bed and tailgate. 4WD with WARN hubs and overdrive. Never wrecked or rusty. Engine has 100 hours on rebuild. Drove it this morning, but needs brake fluid and TLC. I bought it 23 years ago in Calif. desert and has been inside here in MD for 10 years.”
This looks to be a CJ-2A column shift drivetrain topped with a MB/GPW body. I suspect the drain holes were added later. The front bumper is odd.
“1946 WILLYS CJ2A, VIN NO. CJ2A30868A, this is an early column shift, it has what appears to be a WWII composite body, a jeep guy told me that he thought they used left over WWII jeep body parts on very early CJs. It could be, as it has the CJ factory drain holes in the sides, the glove box opening shows no lid or box ever being installed, the rear tool boxes show no signs of ever having a lid installed. Maybe someone can verify that information.
The previous owner stated the engine was rebuilt, it starts quick, runs smooth and does not smoke and has 25-30 psi oil pressure.
Has been changed over to 12 volt electrics with alternator, windshield wiper, turn signals, stop lights, headlights, electric fuel pump.
Starts, drives and stops, new gas tank, 4 wheel drive works good, transmission works, but nosy in 1st and reverse and sometimes hard to shift (you can’t shift fast), second and third is quiet and shifts smooth, steering is tight and holds good running down the road, did not jump out of second, suspension is pretty quiet and it has like new tires that are balanced. Roll bar is bolted on, so removing would be easy. It has indoor carpet, but appears to have no rust through.
Just registered (has black sticker which means it has no liability ins.) and new correct title will be in this week.
It is ready to go play and not worry about messing up the rattle can paint job (so it would be one color, not several). The seats are after market, but easier to get in/out and have more belly room.”

“I have 2 1950’s Willys wagons and 1 1950 Willys 4×4 truck that I want to sell with many extra parts and glass. Please let me know if we may have some interest in the items.

Looks solid, but it isn’t a ‘classic historical army vehicle’.

This seller has other jeeps, too.
“No titles. Have sat for years. They are rough. Have several other Jeeps as well as a boat, Harley FXST, and a 1929 Model A pickup. Make an offer. It must go! Cash only”
Unclear how much value is here.
“I have an old Willys Jeep for sale. I bought it about 10 years ago, with intentions of making a fun little project. Now, this much time later, I have realized that it is time to go. It did runs, as I drove it around my yard, even as of a couple years ago. The brakes are inop. It has no interior. It is definitely a project, but it has potential. No trades”

“1946 CJ-2A

-Axles look like they are from an early 70’s cj.
-Body is rough, but salvageable. Definitely needs a good amount of repair.
-Frame looks good, no major work needed.
-Transmission is locked up from sitting, but transfer case seems good.”
No updates tonight.
I will be in Seattle for a week or more at the end of July, beginning of August. I’m pulling Biscuit’s engine and replacing the TH350 tranny for a T-18 (still have to locate that). I’ll also be dropping by the Northwest FC Get Together in Tacoma in early August.
On my way to Seattle, I was hoping to drop by the MVPA’s international convention in Portland (July 25-27th), but now am not sure whether I’ll have the time or not. Anyone going to that?
I’m guessing this is most likely a CJ-2A, but I can’t tell for sure. Auction is Saturday, July 20.

(11/12/2012) “1948 Willys jeep.1952 4 cylinder , 3 speed with overdrive .Motor smokes , but comes with good running replacement motor. needs work.$3000.00 make offer.”
Tony forwarded these photos. The first shows Tony’s father in his Willys MA. If you recognize that Willys MA please contact Tony (just leave a comment — and I already searched Gavin’s WillysMA site). The second is his father and some buddies in a Ford GP.
Charles forwarded these great photos taken in Europe.
The first is a ‘pension’ for Dogs and Cats . . . aka animal control.
Here’s a nice looking service jeep created from a MB or GPW.
Mark spotted this unique jeep in a gift shop in Sparta, Ontario, Canada. He also spotted the motorcycle.
He writes, “These are hand made displays. I thought that they were very interesting. However, priced between $50.00 & $100.00, I declined my temptations. I felt that the money would be better spent on maintaining my jeep.”
Probably a good idea Mark 🙂
Here’s a second set of Jeeping negatives from Borrego, CA.
“This auction is for TWELVE original, vintage an early c.1950’s B/W film photo negatives showing people with old cars, Jeeps on Anza Borrego desert in San Diego
,or Imperial County.The negative was converted to positive to see the image.”
