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 $650
“1949 Willys wagon. $650 or first reasonable offer. Has clear title. Very complete but VERY rusty. Engine turns over but I have not been able to get it to start. I am trying to clear out projects I cannot get to. Please email for more info. and then I will give you my phone number. Once again, there is ALOT of rust in the rockers on this. I have spare solid doors and I believe a tailgate as well. Could use for parts, or as a challenge to your metalworking skills.”
This has an engine knock.

UPDATE: This sold quickly.
The front frame rails have been heavily reinforced. You gotta love that ‘hardtop’. Despite this, I think there’s some value
“Excellent running 4cyl converted to 12 volt 5ft plow, 4sp frame good would make nice plow truck also has 3 point hookup on rear, 16 inch tire with chains.”
Hard to say just how original this is from the one pic. However, the seats appear aftermarket and the grille may have been updated.

(05/04/2011) “1946 WILLYS Jeep CJ2-A. Built for the dirt, but street legal.
COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up. Only 9,567 miles since rebuilt:
Chevrolet V-8 engine with Edelbrock manifold, off-road modified Holly 4-barrel carburetor and Holly electric fuel pump. Advanced Adapters headers with Thrush Turbo mufflers. Custom-made extra heavy-duty 4-row radiator.
Modified 4-speed Saginaw 1/2-ton truck transmission with Hurst shifter, Advanced Adapters silent gear kit in transfer case and a Warn overdrive. New drive shafts front & rear. Heavy-duty clutch.
Spicer model 44 rear end with Detroit Tru-Trak limited-slip differential and full-floating axles (just add locking hubs for free-wheel towing). 4WPW 11” rear drum and front disk brakes with 3/4-ton GM truck master cylinder.

The bad: has been stored for about the last 6 years; needs new battery; carburetor needs rebuilding kit due to gummed up gasoline; it has a CASSETTE radio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
This needs work. This sounds like a nice project with some value. Curiously, there are no holes for the gauges. So, I’m not sure whether this is an aftermarket body or the holes were cleanly patched. This has already been converted to hanging pedals, too. I think that motor might have been rebuilt, judging by the cleanliness of it.
“I have a unfinish jeep up for sale. It has a V6 with 4 speed trany,tranfer case,and axle dana 44 with disk in front, amc 20 posi. I have the pink slip and it nonop.”

As a former owner of three of these, I can attest to their lack of value.
“Austin was commissioned to build the Champ to replace WWII Willys Jeeps in the British Military service. It is powered by a modular Rolls-Royce engine that produces 80 horsepower. The engine is linked to a 5 speed synchromesh transmission that has no integral reverse gear, drive being taken by the propshaft to a rear transaxle which incorporated a reverse mechanism that acted on all five ratios and is controlled by a separate lever. The suspension is fully independent double wishbones with a longitudinal torsion bar and telescopic hydraulic damper at all four wheels.
Recently, over $8,000 was spent replacing all the axle seals and gaskets for the front and rear differentials. The front and rear shocks were also replaced and the entire undercarriage and suspension was cleaned, undercoated, and detailed.]”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/18/2012) Obviously not a Military Jeep.

Bill, from Lime Street Carriages, posted some pics of last weekend’s 2o12 Willys Picnic on his Face book page. He wrote, “I think there were 76-77 Jeeps there this year and the weather was great (hot). My group took 6 Jeeps up from Lancaster (68 mi each way) and next year we’ll have more!
David spotted this model on Flickr. I don’t much other than it is being well built by someone named Alex.
This one is priceless. Based on the back, I’d say this was a CJ of some vintage and not a M-38.
“5/16″ armored jeep. Complete. Body is not rotted. Needs new undercarriage. M38? Awesome piece of history. 845-204-1475”

Dan’s his former US Forest Service wagon. It includes the government data plate. He is offering $50 off to those that mention eWillys.
“Overview:
I am selling my Utility Delivery project to buy another Willys Wagon (with rear side windows)
This is a rolling body on chassis, and does not include an engine or transmission
You can restore with the original T90 transmission and D18 transfer case from Willys Wagon, Truck, or CJ or install more modern versions
Originally was a US Forest Service vehicle painted white; the subsequent owner painted the Delivery green sometime in the 1980s
The good:
Includes glove box doors, data/VIN plate, and US Government plate
Also includes miscellaneous parts such as the windshield metal trim, heater controls/knobs, etc.
Panel doors in good shape
Panel door glass is in excellent shape
Rear Dana 44 (stock as far as I can tell)
Frame is in good shape (just minor surface rust)
Locking front hubs
Clear title
Current California registration with white plates (non-op)
The bad:
Rust through in both driver and passenger floorboards, bottom of fenders, and rear valence
Lots of drilled holes in seat riser/tool box area
No windshield; door glass is cracked
Surface rust and dents all over
At least one goofy sheetmetal solution by previous owner on right front fender
Does not include the old yellow license plate. I hope to find it a good home as these Delivery Wagons are quite rare”
This has the early three data plate setup. Looks in good condition.
