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 $12,500.
This looks solid.

Walter spotted this CJ-2A. How about that unique rack on the front? Given that bumper, this was some kind of purpose-modified jeep. The body doesn’t appear too bad either. Maybe that rack was on a car truck?
“This is a 48′ Jeep Willys. This is a project that I wanted to restore myself but I just dont have enough time. It needs a full body restoration but it has its original drive traine. I do have have the title. Please no txts or emails.”
Belgian writer George Remi wrote and illustrated the Adventures of Tin Tin, a series of comic strips and books, which have been adapted for radio, television, theatre and movies. The sixteenth series of comic strips is called Destination Moon, which features a great illustration of our heroes in a jeep racing for a rocket. If you do a search for “tin tin” and “jeep” on eBay you’ll run into a variety of toy jeeps for sale. I’ve never read the comic series, so I really know very little about how much the jeep is involved in the series.
This is a neat old photograph. The first two vehicles are slat grille MBs.
“This is a gloss finish 8″ x 10″ black and white photograph of a WWII Era military convoy traveling on a cleared road between majestic snow covered fir trees. It would be nice to know their destination. Does it look cold! There are no markings on the back of this picture, but it is pristine and very professional. I am selling numerous pictures taken during the WWII era which are of great historical interest and need to be preserved. Many are from Kashmir and other places in the Far East where the previous owner was stationed. The owner was a photographer for the military.”

I ran across an online auction site called eCrater.com. Smaller than eBay, it has some vintage jeep items for sale. In some cases the prices are a little lower than ebay. Part of the reason for the lower prices is that it is free to list items and to use their commerce system. I purchased a brochure off the site and will report if I run into any issues.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200
It doesn’t run at the moment.
“Bought many years ago and it ran back then. I installed a good battery in it and it cranked over, but wouldn’t fire. Then it quit…..I think I fried the starter or the solenoid (not sure which). The engine isn’t frozen, so it probably won’t take much to get it running again. This was going to be a project car, but lost interest. Take a look at the pictures……what you see is what you get.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no-reserve auction. Needs a tiny bit of work.
“This rare classic is selling on a “No Reserve Auction”. The high bidder will absolutely win this truck.
Just got this rare truck in. Its a 1951 Overland Willys Jeep Flatbed Pickup. It appears to be in very good condition for the year. I have had a few of these throughout the years and they are getting harder to find and they sell fast.
This one starts right up and Purrs like a Kitten. No Smoke or engine noise and runs cool. It appears to me to be the original motor and it looks like it has been rebuilt or freshened up. It has good power for the size of the motor. The Truck drives very straight and no shakes or shimmies. It has new tires and nice aluminum wheels which greatly adds to the drive-ability. It appears that someone started to restore this and so it needs to be finished up, but the hardest parts of the restoration appear to be done. It would be a fun project and with a little work you could drive while you complete.
This would also be a great advertisement piece for your business, Imagine your company signs along the sideboards of the flatbed.
A couple of other things. It is a bit hard to shift into 2nd gear i’m not sure if its the clutch or what? I have talked to some people about it and they tell me that its my driving and that you have to “double clutch it” when you shift? Maybe you will know more about this than I do, however I wanted to disclose this. It appears that the previous owners have coated the flatbed and the floor boards with some type of coating. It looks nice and appears to be quite durable. I don’t see any major problems with rust, but there is some visible surface rust inside the door panels and on the roof on the inside of the truck (under where the headliner would be). The seat is not original but fits in the cab very well and looks good. I have the door panels that need to be covered and installed (see pictures) I also have some other misc parts that are in the picture that will go with the truck. It is missing the headliner. The headlights and taillights work but you will need to get the wipers working and a few other misc items.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
This appears to have a replacement body and a M-38 windshield.
“Good condition, Runs excellent. 5 Military Michelin Radials. ”
Not stock, but appears solid.
“Restored w/ 326mi on new engine. Engine is 1964 173c.i. Chevy II (Iron Duke). New paint, one bikini top, one full enclosure top w/ doors, new brakes, brake lines and master cylinder. Excellent condition and parade ready.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This is a no reserve auction. It’s not perfect, but appears solid.
“We bought this Willys from the US Forrestry Department and painted it Army green. It runs great and is as solid a Jeep as you will find. When it was painted, there was absolutely NO rust repair. We’ve used it in a couple of parades and has sat in the barn now for five years. My wife says I’ve got to clean out the barn and and get rid of items I don’t use. It was fun to own but needs to go to someone who will appreciate it better.
I’m offering this for sale on ebay only and will not sell it outside the auction. We have a shipping company and can arrange shipping in an enclosed trailer for a fee. E-mail me your zip code for a shipping estimate. The spare tire is the original tire and I bought a new spare tire mount but never installed it. I’ll put a new battery in the Jeep when it sells. Good luck and thank you for viewing my auction.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
It sounds as if this has been sitting in a barn for quite a few years.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep
This has been our family ranch jeep since 1992. Since then then it has been in our covered barn gathering dust. I would like to find a new owner that will take care of this ’46 treasure. The jeep features:

– 4 wheel drive & transfer case in working order (manual locking hubs)

There appears to be some value here.
“1948 Willys for sale. Complete body and driveline. Not running (I do not believe the engine is seized) and no title. Has a Borg-Warner overdrive. Some rust in tub under drivers seat. Body straight for a 65 year old. Needs a little time and elbow grease. This is a great project vehicle and a greater price. The pictures show it as I bought it, complete with leaves. I have cleaned it up a bit and took it off the frame. I put four newer tires and wheels on it. I’ll throw in two extra fenders (left and right) and a hood. Wife says get it out of the yard.”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay. Initial bid is $6.99.
I purchased a copy of this book. There are some good pictures and stories of the jeeps used to make the first few Zamboni Ice Resurfacers. If you haven’t seen it, here’s my post about the Zamboni Ice Resurfacer.
Lots of rust and doesn’t currently run.
“1953 Willys Jeep does not run but will with a new battery gas fuel lines and carb cleaning it’s rough but not terrible the frame is in good shape aside from rust rolls easy shifts through all gears and has high low plus 4 wheel drive I also have the registration for it as well as the keys it comes with spare tire and tire rack back seat and grill the plow and plow accessories don’t come with it do don’t ask call 845 594 5332”

This will need some body work.
“A true survivor!! Up for sale is my 1943 Ford GPW. I own a car dealership, but this is one my personal vehicles. This would be a great weekend toy, or a perfect candidate for restoration. The body is the way we obtained it other than the decals, but it has had extensive mechanical attention since we purchased it. We have recently installed a new factory correct Willys long block, a new clutch, a new carburetor, fuel pump, distributor, radiator, and fuel tank. Other than its missing the original oil bath air cleaner, it’s pretty correct under the hood. It has had the brakes and axles serviced, it’s been converted to a 12 volt electrical system, and all of the lights and gauges work except the fuel gauge and horn. It has the original 3 speed transmission coupled to a 2 speed transfer case. It has had lockout hubs added, but they were on it when I got it. The VIN# is stamped on the frame, and is still legible. . . . . read more on eBay.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“You are bidding on a 1946 military Jeep Willys (Army). As you can see from the pictures it has been partially restored. It has new shocks and new brakes. Also new Warn winch. It has been recently painted and the seats have been replaced. Some of the sheet metal has been redone. It is in good working condition. We are selling only because the family member that used it is elderly and can no longer get in and out of it. Please note that the title lists Exempt on mileage. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
