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 .
Has a variety of updates.

“Relisting since potential buyer cancelled. 1949 Willys CJ3 in good condition, drives very well, no rust, not a project. Small V6 with 3-speed manual transmission. Tonneau top and full top with doors. 5 matching wheels and tires. Will consider trade for 65-73 or 79-93 Mustang or newer Wrangler of similar value.”
Nice wheels/tires. I’m pretty sure the faux battery box lid was phased out after the 1963 year, which suggest this might be a 1962 or earlier. Has a Meyer hardtop, with a handy-looking luggage rack, and a Ramsey PTO winch.

“Hard top cj5 willies with doors Ramsey winch pto option starts and drives with new tires and spare cool all original minus seats cold take less if u have a diff set of wheels”

“1959 Willy’s Jeep CJ3B Rare “High Hood” model Runs and drives! Has some rust Not perfect but a good project that doesn’t need much! 3 speed manual 4 wheel drive New brakes all the way around! Full soft top and soft doors Hard to find Willy’s!”
Needs some tuning at the very least.

“1964 Jeep CJ3b, the last year for the flat fender jeep. Runs and drives, but needs a little TLC. Frame off restoration done by Gateway Classic cars in late 2014. Dauntless V6 with a 3 speed manual trans. 4×4. My grandparents purchased it at auction and took delivery in December of 2014. It sat outside for a couple of years, and as a result, the top has mold on the inside. No rips or tears, but I have had the top off ever since I bought it from my grandparents because it feels bigger and cleaner without it.
Been inside my garage since I bought it. Needs a little carb work, nothing major. Runs and drives, but it does need to warm up quite a bit to get it to idle well. New tires January 2021. (Brand new spare in back.) New battery January 2021. New Brakes February 2021. New Radiator February 2021. And a few more repairs since then. Paint is in great shape, but does have a few blemishes. Incredibly clean, rust free. OBO or trade. Let’s make a deal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $20,000.
A lot of detail work has been done on this Sedan Delivery vehicle. Seller notes more work is necessary, but doesn’t describe the work.
“Sedan delivery Wagon pretty nice 305 motor it’s 80 percent done my loss your gain oboe or trade”
Has some mods and a Ford Pinto engine, though I don’t believe the company ever made a 2.4L for the Pinto. Interesting enough, there were multiple distinct versions of the 1.6L and 2.0L (this info on Pinto engines was an interesting read).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/509914190911024/
“The body is in nice shape for a 76 year old vehicle. The engine has been replaced with a 2.4L from a Ford Pinto. It has a Warn overdrive on it. The carb needs some work but it does start. 2 sets of tires and both need replaced. Has soft doors and top that are in fair condition. Has title. Trades considered for vintage cars as long as they have 2 doors.”
Give the data plate serial number of 29621, I thought this might be a VEC CJ-2A chassis with an M-38 body. However, note the grille and front crossmember seem set up for a grille mounted radiator, rather than a front member mounted radiator. But, it is definitely CJ (not M-38) chassis. This doesn’t run.

“Here I have a 1947 Willy’s jeep that I believe to be the military version. It is almost complete with not to bad of rust. Motor is NOT locked up and spins freely. The radiator is missing, I do have the headlight that is missing in the pictures. I can take better pictures for more serious people. I am currently only looking to trade for a good 4 wheeler or possibly a pickup, classic VW, throw me a offer.Does have a clean title”
Listed as a 1949 CJ-3A, this had an early 2A grille, so may be more like a 1946-47. This also is pictured with a DJ-3A convertible windshield. The jeep has been disassembled.

“Willys cj3a project, was gonna do a full restoration but have decided to go another route. Taken apart currently but all the small pieces have been bagged and labeled. The tub will need some body work and new floors if your looking for a new resto. Otherwise it will work for a farm jeep. Engine runs and i have a video of it. New brakes lines and other brake components bought just never installed. Located in Nacogdoches. Price is OBO. will trade for ford truck stuff. 60-70s ford, OBS parts, would trade for a working two post lift.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It’s a project.

This CJ-5 has a patched together 3B body on it. Are those speakers or spotlights in the back?

In 1969, a local group in northern Utah launched the Golden Spike Jeep Rally, an event that occurred in conjunction with the Ogden Pioneer Days in Late July. I know for sure the event took place in 1969 and 1970, but don’t know how long it lasted.
Events included hill climbs at Rainbow Gardens and an Obstacle Race at Mount Ogden Park, both Saturday and Sunday.
This photo and caption were printed in the June 27, 1969, Hill Top Times (Hill Airforce Base):
This article and photo was printed in the Ogden Standard-Examiner on July 23, 1970.
Bill shared this video of Mr. Metalshaper showing some issues he encounters while rebuilding some L-heads. Check it out on Youtube:

My new fuel pump arrived for Patterson, so I tossed the old one (which was a glass bowled hand-me-down from Chris McKay back in 2017) and installed the new one. Of course, the new one didn’t work. So, I did the usual over a period of a few days:
I checked the lines, I recheck the lines. I rechecked the rechecked lines.
I checked the clamps on the line. I installed different clamps.
I checked the cam for a groove or signs of it being worn (none that I could feel),
I reinstalled the electric pump to double check the lines and to check there was enough gas (there was and it worked).
I pulled the new pump and hand pumped it with some gas in a container (to prime it). It pumped by hand fine. I reinstalled the new pump, but no luck.
So, I pulled the old pump out of the trash (which had worked fine until late last year), reattached the fittings, and hand pumped some gas out of a small container (that worked).
With the old pump primed, I reattached it. The pump is now working.
That was a lot of work for little progress!!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
You don’t often see the top bows in the bow holders on a militarized 2A. Note this has full floating hubs.
“Brand new engine built low mileage”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,250.
Looks in good shape.
“1948 Willy’s jeepster Has a 1985 Buick odd fire v6. Gets 20mpg. Has cruise control. Brand new Coker white wall tires. Runs great!”

Bill shared this hardtop-ed Mitsubishi jeep for auction on eBay (currently $1525).

“This 1979 Mitsubishi J24H Jeep is an original. The owner has had it for 1 year. The vehicle is drivable.
2.7L 4DR5 Diesel 4 cylinder, 30 MPG
Ultra Tough 24V System

Right Hand Drive from Japan
Runs and drives good, turn key starts up every time. Off road ready Willys style JEEP!
Front floor pans will need to be replaced, I found replacement floors for about $60 total for the metal
Everything else is solid, a few imperfections, dents as seen on pictures
Very cool unit that you could get into for cheap and restore to your desired taste.
Please message me with your email if you would like a short walk around video of it running”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Glenn’s helping sell this CJ-5 with a Koenig PTO winch.
“Grampa’s JEEP just out of storage. It’s a CJ5 put together many years ago from several donors. All stock, no rust, nice full cab, free running hubs, recent paint, looks great but not show quality. Body has been weld repaired, excellent frame, brakes working well, all gears quiet, engine runs but has an ocassional skip. Nice Koenig PTO Winch as per factory specs. I just drove it around and it goes and sounds like an old Jeep should, like an old school build from the 70’s. Maybe fresh gas or some tune up will help, but you can go JEEPIN’ today. Selling for a friend, Grampa’s Grandson. Grampa lived to 100 and was a fanatic about details. Bill of Sale only. If you need title, it’s at your expense as Maine is no title needed for this vehicle. Contact me thru C.L. for phone, more pix, or discussion.”
This apparently has a rear facing PTO, but there’s no hole in the bumper for the shaft to connect to a rear gearbox (or am I missing something).

“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep Very original condition except for paint and seats Starts, runs, drives, and stops great Still 6 volt system Has rear PTO setup Comes with many extra parts including plow w/pump and controls, extra set of 4 original painted wheels with tires, transmission, new hood in box, lockout hubs, tow bar, and more! Recent work includes: complete new exhaust, new master cylinder, new battery and voltage regulator, seat belts, new ignition and light switches, transfer case output shaft seal, windshield wiper assembly. I will consider interesting trades Located in northeastern Pennsylvania”
This looks to be an ex-racing jeep. That pinto engine might have some other HP updates besides the offy intake manifold. Note those “heart” rims; I’ve never seen them before (see last pic).

“Old Willys jeep project.

“Runs, drives, but does not stop. Need tub for restoration or would work well on a farm. 4wd works and so does the PTO. It is not the correct engine for this year model. Sold with bill of sale but bonded titles arr easy to get”

“I have a very nice 1974 CJ-6 for sale with a great running 4.2 (258) straight six cylinder. Motor runs perfect and is strong. PO siad it had a rebuild about 4K ago. I believe it. Jeep came out of Colorado and is pretty much rust free and very solid, including hats channels, floors and tool box floor. Very hard to find these in New England or anywhere else for that matter. Original T14, Dana 20, flanged 44 rear and Dana 30 up front with drums on all four corners. Brakes were done by PO and have all new parts, but need to be blead better.
What I have time to do and new parts include new Bestop just installed last year new. 5 ew BFG Mud Terrains 31/1050-15 on Renegade alloy rims. Rims are good from 10 foot away, but could use a good cleaning. Also added last year was a very nice and straight swing tire carrier close to correct era. Jeep was originally cooper metalic, not orange. Full roll bar, nicely done. New full tank. Power steering, but manual brakes. Very comfy seats even for bigger people. Installed new rear emergency brake cables. Awesome running 74 intermediate CJ6.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800.
Seems worth a look.
