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 $1600.
The body looks good. I always like those slot rims, too.

Looks like there are a few good parts.
“46 willys parts jeep. no title, for parts only. many good parts on this rig. I’m sure I could get more if I wanted to take the time to part out, and sell piece by piece, but I have had this thing for 12yrs and just want it gone. with the jeep come 2 soft doors,and 4 decent wheels. I have the glass for the winshield, but not the gaskets that go with them. price is firm, but part trade for the right item is a possibility.”

Yikes! This might have been an authentic CJ-2A at some point . . .
“Very cool 1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep project for sale. I have had this jeep for 16 years and have recently started working on it again. I have lots of projects and am considering parting with this one if the price is right. This is an authentic 1947 Willys CJ2A and it is mounted on a 1974 Ford F250 Hiboy frame with Dana 60 Front and Rear Axles. The jeep is currently mocked up with a Chevy 454, Chevy SM420 4 Speed Granny Low Transmission, and Ford SM205 Divorced Transfer Case. We are very close to having it able to run and drive and have all parts necessary to do so including driveshafts. The project currently has 8 lug aluminum wheels with 36″ Goodyear Mud Terrain Tires (old but good shape still). I have suspension seats with brackets and mounting hardware for the front and a jeep forward folding rear seat. The CJ2A has been extended roughly 12″, cut was made at the mid-door seam and new diamond treadplate floor has been installed. I recently started fabbing the rollcage and front fenders and plan to make rear fender extensions to match the with of the fronts.”

Both of these are projects.
“Ok, I have two Willy’s jeeps for sale. One is a 1951 and the other is a 1952. Both are projects that have a ton of potential. If you have ever enjoyed watching a late seventies show called “Rat Patrol,” these jeeps are for you! Imagine wearing your U.S. Army fatigues flying through the desert with a dog-rocket in your mouth! That is freedom brother! You and your son or daughter will definitely have an awesome time restoring these fine gems. Just imagine, the best quality bonding time with your offspring as you restore these treasures. When completed you will have one for you ,and one for your teenager. Then its off to the Mountains so that you can train your child on how to negotiate the roughed mountain trails. I cannot believe I am selling you not only these jeeps, but an experience with you family that will be passed down several generations. They will talk about the jeeps that grandpa restored and what an awesome man you were. Wow, what a legacy you will leave! Anyway, I am asking $3,000.00 OBO. I am also open to trades. Guns, Gold, Silver, Pygmy Goats……Call Ned at 602 six one nine 7749 Now, prepare yourself for the time of your life! Also, it’s best not to tell your wife until you have these jeeps in your yard. Trust me, she will be so suprised and excited for your big adventure! Hurry, these deals will not last….I anticipate having to auction them off due to the popularitiy and high demand to own them!”

(08/12/2011) This is a project, but it might be a deal considering the stainless tub.

There’s value here, but without a body I’m afraid the seller is going to take a hit on this project.
“1947 Jeep CJ2a. Started restoration from frame up. Have sandblasted and chassis black all steel support items. All parts are either bead blasted and painted , rebuilt or new. Every nut bolt and clip has been removed cleaned and painted. Too many new parts to list. Has clean title and vin on frame.

“I have an aluminum hard top with doors off a 1960 CJ-3B”
Colin writes, “This week, I received from Miguel Ordorica Jr., another Willys friend of mine in Michigan, a copy of the 1955 Ohio Registration form made out to his father, Miguel Ordorica for the 1951 Jeep, Model # CJ-4, Serial Number 01, having engine number 4J 49624. Miguel’s father owned this vehicle from April 13, 1955 until his passing in 1967, at which time Miguel’s mother sold it and a trailer to a man in Michigan. From another source, Derek Redmond’s CJ3B page, I found information that Miguel’s father bought the CJ-4 directly from Willys Overland for $300 and a photocopy of the title was in that info. See the attached scan0011. Miguel’s father was in charge of Willys Chassis Development for many years.”
Paul discovered this plate on the driver’s side cowl of his M-38A1. Anyone know what it does?
Paul writes, “1952 m38a1-thought this was some sort of id plate at first. Looked inside glove box, has a backing plate and bondo fills the holes. any idea what was mounted? thank you.”
Unlike the advertising by Willys Overland, this ad by New York City based A.W. Pickett is sedate and forgettable.

Looks like a solid CJ-3B.
“fter much thought and prayer I’ve decided to put my Jeep up for sale.I’m the third owner and have known this Jeep since new.It belonged to my Uncle’s neighbor,he bought it new,he was old in the 70’s when I was kid.I lost track of it for a while, but it turned out didn’t go to far and i got to buy it. I’ve owned it fifteen years and had lots and lots of fun in it. Hunting trips,trips to Colorado 4 wheeling in the mountains in SE Ok. but I’m going to sell it and use the money for my buisness.This Jeep is mostly all original except for a new correct Carter YF carb,headlight switch,dimmer switch and a few things like that.Has a fairly new set of 700×15 mud and snows,probally not more than 3000 miles on them. Had just very,very little rust under the gas tank that was fixed when painted,been in Ok. all its life and kept inside a lot of the time. I put new brake shoes on it 4 or 5 years ago.I would not afraid to drive this Jeep anywhere,it has failed to start one time in fifteen years,I let the battery go dead.It has been dependable,dependable. Drive it as far as you can on a back road and shut it off,it will start when you get back. It roads out really well for an old Jeep it will run 55 down the highway pretty easy,I’ve took a lot of twenty five mile hi-way trips in it. . . ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000!
(07/12/2012) Really Nice!
“Fully restored 1948 CJ2A Four Wheel Drive Willys Jeep.
Everything works and is in great condition, even has the original factory color!
This show Jeep is even an AACA (Antique Automobile Club of America) 1st Place winner!!!
Originally the Jeep came from a country estate in Pennsylvania and it NEVER had any rust on the body!
My Father did a full body off restoration 4 years ago and it has been sitting in his clean, dry basement (he drained the gas) ever since.
As you can see from the picture the vehicle only has 27.5 miles since he finished restoring it… this has to be one of the nicest Jeeps in the entire country!!!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500

Jetski, running vehicle or even a new Deck. Reply via email with any Possibility.”

“Kaiser Willys 1955 CJ5. First year of the civilian CJ5’s, 215 V8 Buick motor with 2bbl carb, new battery this spring, 3 Spd tranny, Overdrive, front tow hitch, 60’s era bucket seats. Except for the motor and overdrive I believe this jeep to be fairly stock. I have some 31-10.50-15 tires on it with fair tread. Standard 9 in brakes so expect what you get for brakes with the 9″ drums and 1955 brakes designs. Runs and drives. Some rust peeking through paint with a split on top just behind hood. Bimini top and full soft top with two sets of doors. Soft top is fair. Keeps the weather out but rear window could be replaced as it is cracked. Asking $1800 cash and will only sell local. Can be used as is or would be a base for a builder if desired. My original desire was to build it up but just ended up using it stock for the past 8 or 9 years. Please respond to ad and I will get back with you. Thanks for looking.”
