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 $800
The frame has been powder coated and most everything is there, but the seller claims this is a “mystery jeep”? I’m gonna bet the seller also doesn’t have a title for this. This just sounds a bit sketchy on the face of it. I’m gonna guess this is a late 1950s/ early 1960s CJ-5 or CJ-3B?
“mystery jeep for sale. I have all the parts you need to put it all together except motor! The frame has been powder coated, brand new springs, shocks, tires and rims!!”
I can’t tell if the sides have been patched or a protective plate added.

Complete, but rough.
“1950 CJ3A Willy Jeep.

No pics provided.
“New powder coat paint on frame. Hood, grill, fenders and window frame sandblasted. No motor. Tubs in poor condition. Diferential and drive train in good shape.”
This is a pretty stock jeep, but might make a nice restoration project. Give how stock it is, I’m surprised to see it has the mid windshield piece.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
I don’t know if this even runs, but it has some character (or at least might have been owned by one).
“1957 Willys/Jeep Pick Up. Rough condition. 4-WD, 235 Chevy straight 6. runs. Previously owned by an old miner east of Apache Junction. Needs work! Does it need tires? Yes! Brakes? Yes! Battery? Yes! Yes, Yes yes! It needs everything but these are hard to find. Nice project.Clean AZ Title”
I don’t see the Capstan winch, but it is supposed to have one. I’m not sure if this is actually a 1946, as it has the wrong grille.
“1946 Jeep Willys – needs restoration. Running 289 out of a 1966 Mustang, built in capstan winch, brakes need to be replaced and carb needs to be rebuilt, but does run strong, not drivable because brakes are bad. GREAT project platform or great for parts. Includes original transmission and axles including front locker. Front winch bumper with tow hook, rear tow bumper.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800
There has been at least a few alterations.
“1946 Willy’s Jeep for sale as is”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
Those are some odd rims. The drain holes have been filled, so there’s probably been some body work on the sides.

Vic surprised me with an unusual story today.
He writes, “We have an historic home (1827) where there was a fire in 1945. Following that event the home underwent some serious refurbishing. Fast forward to 2011 and my wife decided to strip the wallpaper from our bedroom – four layers as it turned out. The final layer was a blue-gray with a patriotic theme – the Statue of Liberty with a B-24 flying past and a battleship. The best part is the Jeep with a field piece.”
Due to his wife’s heroic efforts, several pieces of wallpaper showing the jeep were saved, a couple of which Vic said he will send my direction (thanks!). He included this image of jeep and artillery.
From the Hawaii War Records Depository, the two women shown below in this Ford GPW were the only women authorized in Hawaii to drive jeeps as of November 1942. According to the caption that accompanies the photograph, “Meet the jeep girls–Lorraine O’Brien and Nina Smith! These women drivers are the only two who have been authorized by the army automotive office to operate jeeps and armored half tracks and to convoy any type of army vehicle in Hawaii. Lorraine, an island girl, and “Smitty,” from Houston, Tex. . . . By Betty MacDonald.” The photo was taken November 3, 1942.

You can view more information about this photo by going to the Hawaii War Records Depository and scrolling down until you see the picture above.
These photographs of Border Jeeps come from a Septmeber 1949 article in Mechanix Magazine. You can read the entire article here.
In this picture you can clearly see this is a CJ-2A. It didn’t take them long to customize the bumper.
The first image below appears to show a MB. I’m a little surprised it doesn’t have a top for shade like the other border jeeps I’ve seen. The second picture is likely a CJ-2A based on the bas tank inlet.
This looks in very good shape.
” THIS IS AN UNCIRCULATED, EXCELLENT, ORIGINAL 1950 WILLYS JEEPSTER MAILER BROCHURE. NEVER STAMPED, WRITTEN ON OR MAILED. SIZE IS 8 1/4″ X 5 1/2″ AND UNFOLDS TO 16 1/2″ X 22″. CODE VJ73M1 AND DATED 3/50.”

Here’s a rare grille.
“From a recent find of parts hidden away many years, This is a used and abused original front grille from a Ford GP as pictured. It’s used, it’s been repainted many times. His minor dings, see photos, will clean up for a beautiful front grille.”

This needs the clutch replaced. The seller mentions it has an ‘aluminum’ buick V-6; however, I suspect the seller has confused that with the aluminum V-8. The engine is most likely cast iron if it is a V-6. This may be a good price.
“1953 jeep willys, army green with rebuilt Buick v6 aluminum engine, only 38,000 miles. New muncie 4 speed transmission with high low overdrive. 4×4. Canvas top with bucket seats and old school cb radio. This things awesome, its lifted, it has a working winch on the front bumper, like new tires. Only issue is it needs the clutch replaced. If you’re good with cars the price I’m asking is a steal. Parts are inexpensive, all gm, and easy to come by. If you have it done professionally however you’re looking at about $1200, I have the quote on hand. All told you’d be spending around $4200 if you go that route, and $3800 tops if you can do it yourself. I’m in the military and I just don’t have the time or resources to get this fixed. It’s worth $5500 with everything working right, so I could easily ask for $4000, but Im dropping it to $3000 just for the inconvenience of it. Please call or text if interested, I’m horrible about checking email. Thanks for your time. My name’s Jared by the way. (317) 371-3709”
