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 $1500.
“1946 CJ2A for sale. Virtually complete. Stock engine, transmission, tcase and 6v electrical system in place. Has non-stock rims and 33″ tires. Two tires hold air just fine, one holds air for a bit, one is destroyed. I’ll be removing the seats and the stock rim/tire before a sale. Willing to provide more photos and info if you’re interested.”
This isn’t stock, but appears to be a solid rig.
“This is a 1951 M38 Willys Jeep. Originally built for the US Military, it was sold as surplus in 1963, still unused in its wooden crate.It was bought by a family who converted it back then, to a GM V6 Fireball engine, free wheeling front hubs, and GM truck front brakes. It was used by this family for the next 46 years as a hunting vehicle. I bought it 3 years ago with 7,500 miles on the clock, which may or may not be accurate. I have added 2,000 miles since then.
I have had the vehicle completely restored during the 3 years, and just about everything has been either renovated, replaced or repaired. EVERYTHING! I use it as my local daily driver, and it has always been a hoot to drive, with about 160 hp instead of 65 hp. Everything works perfectly. It has a complete all weather Beechwood cover as well. It also has a towing bar.
It has been welcomed in all the 4th July parades and gets more attention at car gatherings than Ferraris’!
It is not 100% original, but it does look the part, and everyone smiles when they see it. You can even invade small countries at the weekend with it.
There is a reserve on it, equal to about what I have invested in it during my ownership, but I will not disclose this, so please do not ask.
Obviously there is no warranty, implied or otherwise, and I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is for sale locally.”

This looks good.

Doug spotted this nicely rebuilt jeep.
“1966 CJ5. Jeep Kaiser/ Willys frame off restoration great shape. I just don’t drive it. In 1966 they did all the best things to the Jeeps. Because the old flat head was so weak Jeep added the Buick Dauntless V6. Tons of power and able to handle any road. The tires have less than 100 miles on them. If your are into classic jeeps this is the one for you!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000
I assume the stamped parts have a “F” rather than a “GPW”.
“The vehicle has been restored from the frame up. I have paperwork on the parts that are stamped with the “GPW” all other parts are after market. The jeep is in very good condition with the low mileage of 200 miles. I had a replica 50 caliber flame thrower made by the manufacturer who made the props for the movie “saving private ryan” this included in the deal. The price list below lists the items replaced and the cost.”
UPDATE: Blaine forwarded some pics from the seller.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4850.
For a ‘fully restored’ jeep, this doesn’t look particularly clean. But, it might be solid.
“Fully Restored 1949 CJ2A entire drive train has been restored, body restoration, 4 new Tires. Driven daily in the summer, moving must sell.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
There is some value.
“1947 CJ2A rollong chassis minus the motor and seats primarily.. Vehicle has the drive train.Sheet metal is pretty solid. Has after market tires and wheels. No time for project and frau says it has to go!”
This might be in good shape.

Buick Dauntless 225 Odd-Fire v6 w/ dual exhaust.

“1946 Willys CJ2A. Running, complete, original, clear title, with current registration. With an extra L-engine and new, uninstalled Best Top
Done: Engine compartment cleaned, fresh fluids, block painted gray, new battery, new fuel pump installed, rebuilt carb installed, recored radiator, new muffler, and new 6v ignition and hose sets installed. Cleaned and painted the gas tank too. Body is straight, frame is straight. No major rust. Only major hole is at the bottom of the toolbox.
Needed: New tires (I have all 5 OEM wheels), new brakelines, connect the brakelight, install seatbelts (or not), connect the fuel gauge, get the wiper working, and new seals along the drive and prop lines. Doing all this will make a safer vehicle, but not change the way it drives, which is fine. Then new front seat cushions and covers, adding a rear bench, and installing the BestTop (that I have) or not, and anything else cosmetic.
A real straight unaltered (sloppy paint on top of the original farm green) flat-fender Willys.
All offers of $3000 or better considered. Happy to answer any questions.”

I saw this tonight and it brought back lots of memories of bubblegum cards I used to collect that had similar “Rat Fink” illustrations. These were done by Ed Roth.
Here is another flatfender design I found on this website: http://timlehi.blogspot.com/2011/03/ed-roth-rat-fink.html
This looks cool.
“These model car plans were taken from a book printed in the 1950s. Great for framing and numerous paper crafts. The plans are original and in good vintage condition. The image measures 5.5″ x 8″ and would look good in a 5″ x 7″ mat or frame. I’ll always include a gift in your order, (always vintage, of course) because presents make me happy.”

UPDATE: I was a bit off on the price. The real price is $375 and shipping is $30 in the US.
I jumped onto Etsy today and did a ‘Willys’ search. One of the things I spotted was this neat little jeep.
“Handmade Willy’s WWII Jeep. Made from Walnut, Cherry, and Maple wood. Lovingly hand cut, carved, and sanded with great attention to detail. Length – 10″ Height – 5 1/2″ Width – 5”
http://www.etsy.com/listing/90638154/jeep-willys-wwii-handmade-woodwork
This appears in great shape.
“1953 Willys … Cranks and runs if you replace the fuel pump … body in great shape! Call Mike (225) 788-0982.”
http://batonrouge.craigslist.org/cto/2886554415.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $475.
This doesn’t run, but there looks like plenty of parts.
“Jeep FC-170 (forward control) 4WD truck with flatbed. engine is a inline 6 cylinder, manual transmission. Needs work to get this unit running and driving. No title, will have to apply for a lost or abandon vehicle title. I am not sure what year it is. These were made between 1959 thru about 1963. This is a non running project unit so don’t call and ask me stupid questions like if it can be driven home. the answer is NO…bring a trailer to pick it up.”
Hard to see much from the pics. Either that body has been cut or it is an early prototype body of some type (I would guess the former).
“1950’s Jeep Willys CJ3A Serious Offers ONLY!
Body is in good shape has been completely Rhino Lined.
Tires like new. Needs motor. Would make a great project.

UPDATE: Was listed at $4500.
I’ve never seen fold-down seats in a jeep. I could see the practicality of that.
