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 .
I think the hood has been repaired.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
The engine cranks over . . . Does that mean it cranks, but doesn’t run?
“1952 Willys Jeep, 4 cylinder engine, engine does crank over, good condition for its age, 4wd works, manual transmission, will need tires, clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Walter spotted this jeep. It is a column shift.
“I have a 64 jeep one of a kind runs great 4 wheel drive3 speed on tree 4 cyl”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $2000.
(02/21/2012) Switched to F head motor.
“For sale is a 1951 Willys CJ3A. 4×4 works great. 134 cubic inch overhead valve engine runs good. This Jeep would originally have had the 134 flathead, but a previous owner did the swap. The Jeep still has the low hood however, so the previous owner’s solution was to hole-saw an opening in the hood to allow the air cleaner to stick through. Not the most elegant solution, but it works. This Jeep starts right up and runs and drives great! Rebuilt carb, rebuilt starter, electric fuel pump. The drivetrain is in good condition…Dana 25 or 27 up front, Dana 44 rear and 3-speed trans (T-84?) w/Dana 18 twin stick transfer case. Good seats. Rollbar. Towbar. Towhitch. Five Jackman white spoke wheels with good Big-O snow tires. Brakes fair. Decent, presentable body with new floor on driver’s side. New fuel tank. All lights work, wipers work, amp & temp gages work except speedo…needs cable. Nice vintage Jeep at a fair price. Jeep is located in Pahrump, NV 60 mi outside of Las Vegas. Clean NV title. ”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $2000
(01/18/2012) This ran when bought ten years ago.
“I purchased this 1947 Willys Jeep with original 4 cyl. motor about 10 years ago with plans to restore it. Things didn’t turn out as planned as the money had to go towards other things. It’s been sitting in my girlfriend’s garage for 10 years! She says it’s time for it to go and sadly I have to agree.
All parts are accounted for. It ran great when I bought it but it hasn’t been started in 10 years.
Newer tires.
GREAT project Jeep. Email for further details or my cell number.
Hold cursor on each photo to see the whole thing. I hope someone will purchase this from me and do what I couldn’t…restore it to it’s original beauty, drive it and ENJOY IT!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8995.

Sam from Flatfender Willys is selling these jeeps as a $2000 package. Looks like a good price.
“Black Jeep – 1946 DOES NOT RUN. Aluminum Top in Good Condition Transmission, Transfer Case, Front and Rear differentials in good shape.
White Jeep – 1949 RUNS EXCELLENT PTO Winch, Body, Rough Engine and Drive Train Excellent
Combine the Two for a really nice jeep. $2000.00”
Craig scanned this from a June 1957 issue of Willys News.
Sebastian’s dad, always on alert for jeep stuff in Colombia, emailed this picture while the site was down. You might remember this coffee jeep from Colombia.
Sebastian added some notes for us:
“– The coffee sign, the wrong spelling in English and really no meaning in Spanish (it should be café)
– The top white sign saying “minutos” which means cell phone minutes. You basically pay a fee and you can use their cell phone for a call. Look the lady using the phone for a call.
– Middle white sign which offers “Mazamorra”, a local dish that not everyone dares to try. Not that easy to find these days, and not really recommended if you have an afternoon full of things to do, most likely you will need a long nap after eating that.
– Bottom sing “arroz con leche” which means rice pudding, sweetened to perfection.
It can not be more Colombian than this!”
Roberto pointed out this four door Commando Project. I don’t think the project is finished, but it is still interesting.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This appears to have a periscope. It must be a deep water forder.
“48 cj2A jeep lots of work done no rust 3500.00 or trade 69-72 chevy 4×4”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500
This looks good.

This has a dump bed. Blaine notes this is not a dually (I had mentioned I wasn’t sure).
“Early 60s jeep flat nose cab over FC 170 4WD, dump bed. Vehicle ran and moved last year, needs tune-up etc. body has some rust/rot, selling as project 1,800 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This has no engine. It has the rear PTO, a nice half cab, and looks very restorable.
“Half Cab, needs motor, body, reassembly. ”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $3500
Unclear what kind of ‘love’ is needed to make this run, but I’ll bet it is at least in part ‘green love’.
“1948 Willys Jeep. All original parts, after market alternator. All parts work it just needs love to get it running”
The side of this looks patched (with aluminum maybe?).
“1953 willys jeep. Body in decent shape, there is surface rust. Has not ran since early 80’s. But when it was parked it did run great. It comes with a plow. everything is original and if interested there are extra original tires. The soft top is worn but works. Would be a great project to restore or use for a plow truck. It only has 17,000 miles on it.”

There appears to be value here.
“3 CJ2A projects. All are in need of restoration and are not drivable and do not run. 2 projects are pretty complete. All three for $2900. Contact John at (309) 2seven5-4nine67”

UPDATE: **SOLD** was $6500.
This was listed in Las Vegas, but is located in Michigan. I suspect it is a real ad.
“Selling my 1961 Willys Jeep CJ3B. Restored three years ago. Located in Michigan. Email if interested. Thanks”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This has an updated engine. Still, it looks solid for the price.
“Runs and drives, fun little jeep, ford 2.3 motor swap otherwise original drivetrian. new master cylinder, rear brakes and front wheel cylinders. Brakes need to be adjusted still. Went through front and rear ens trans and transfer case new seals and gear oil, new rear shocks. Goes anywhere.”

It needs the head gasket replaced.

UPDATE: Price now $1400.
(01/18/2013) There appears to be some value here.
“1942 Ford GPW, made 9/’42. I’ve had this a number of years thinking I might want to restore or build one more flat fender jeep, but it’s time to move onto other things. I’m selling the last of my jeep stuff as one lot.
TO BE CLEAR. I WILL NOT SELL THE COMBAT RIMS OR ANYTHING ELSE SEPERATELY, ALL OR NOTH42.
The frame is uncut, and straight. The frame horns are in good shape front and rear. The axles look to be the originals. The torq reaction plate is also still there. The front tow bumper is just bolted on, and the frame horns and gussets are OK underneath. It will come with a new repro front bumper also.
The Tub is solid and straight, it’s NOT a perfectly fully restored tub, but the work that was done in its past left it with solid metal floors, solid straight quarters, and tool boxes. good fuel tank well, there is a skim coat of bondo in various places, but it’s a good useable 71 year old tub, and the dash isn’t all hacked up..
The bad news is it’s pretty much a rolling shell, no drivetrain, no title (bill of sale) electrics, etc. . .. It’s how I got it. But if you have a rusty or wrecked donor this would make a restoration or build up much easier.
All the parts included are in the pictures. There are 3 original 16″ combat rims, a good T-90 transmission, 5 gallon fuel cell, good f-134 head and crank, original steering wheel, a good 1945 GPW frame,. . . etc. I HAVE NO OTHER PARTS FOR SALE
$1,400 ………… I would trade for 1958-66 VW bug project, Fiat 124 spider or coupe project, or Diesel or gas powered military generator , working condition (must make both 1 & 3 phase AC 110/220, 10 to 20 KW only) . The type of car I will take in trade is relatively solid and straight, mostly complete, and with a clear title, I am willing to deal with some rust and body damage, dead or alive. NO OTHER TRADES WANTED. . .. . .. . .. . .. . .
Thanks,
Call 425-591-5473 or e-mail….”
