About eWillys
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.
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 .
This has a column shifter and something unusual on the back. It appears to be a combo capstan and drum winch? You tell me.

It would cost over $10k to get this professional type work done on this jeep if you were to hire it out. It looks better than new in every aspect, including under the hood.”

(01/07/2012) This may be worth a look. The front horns look original.
“Selling a 1945 Willys military Jeep. Good for parts, or restoration. No engine, transmission, or transfer case. No title, it was last registered in Vermont in the 1960s, where it was used as a farm vehicle.”
The jeep looks great. The seller has plenty to share.
“Hi, I purchased this Willy’s from a gentleman in Texas who performed an approximate 3 year, nut and bolt, frame off restoration on it. As far as I can tell from the paper work, and speaking with the previous owner, this vehicle has always been in Texas up until now. I have a photo file of over 2,500 images on three compact discs that contain every aspect of the restoration, as well as a meticulously kept journal of hand written notations, and a box of receipts totaling well over $20,000. I have included 12 images of the restoration in process prior to my purchasing it, as well as 12 images of how it appears today. Every single part of this Willy’s has been disassembled and either rebuilt, renewed or replaced (for full disclosure I should mention that I’ve noticed the rubber boot on the shifter and a couple other rubber bits show some age). Every part, including the motor, transmission, drive drain, suspension, complete electrical system….. has been rebuilt. I can provide you with a before and after image (and receipt) of practically any and every part on this jeep. The entire vehicle was taken down to bare metal, primed with a rust inhibiting primer and painted. No corners were cut and no expense spared. This was obviously a passion and not a money making venture for this man. I have owned it for about a year and half now. When I received the jeep it had an oil leak coming from the main tranny seal. When the restoration was done, an original felt seal was used and they are notorious for leaks. I replaced the transmission with a new, rebuilt T-90, and installed a new rubber, steel spring main seal. When driven around town, only a tiny drop or two will leak from the seal when it is parked, but when driven off road it will leak a bit more. Maybe a tablespoon’s worth. Other than that, the jeep starts, drives, shifts and performs strong. Only 850 miles have been put on the Willy’s since the restoration (see odometer) and only 300 on the tranny. There are only a few flaws I would like to mention. One is that the fuel gauge works intermittently, mostly it reads empty. On occasion, with no rhyme or reason, it will kick in. The headlight switch works, but sometimes requires that you push it in and out a few times before the lights come on. Once they are on, they stay on until you put the switch in the off position. On the neck of the radiator, where the cap locks on, the seal will leak some fluid. But again, only when driving off road and it doesn’t amount to much. other than that, this Willy’s is pretty much bullet proof. They are fun to drive around town and climb like you wouldn’t believe. What you see in the pictures, aside from a few spare parts, receipts, repair and owner’s manuals is what you get. I do not have a top for it. All original and hard to find parts were used in the restoration, from the turn signal switch, to the horn and side steps. It retains it’s original 6 volt charging system. Once again, rebuilt generator, new regulator and battery. If you are interested in entering and winning any beauty contests with this jeep, this is not the one for you. All the body work was completed without the use of body filler. Although at first glance it appears show quality, with a closer look you can see where body repairs were performed, welds made and sanded. Areas on the hood which had had rust were not filled in, just treated and painted leaving evidence of past pitting. The good news is, is that there is now ZERO rust on this jeep and it is straight and solid as can be, no reason it won’t be around another 62 years. I hate to be selling it, but our family is moving to Los Angeles and I don’t see having much use for it there. …. see ebay add for additional info”
“1/32 ND SCALE WILLYS JEEP 1941 AND A CHEVROLET 1941 TRANSPORT TRUCK . IAM TOLD THESE TOYS CAME TOGETHER AND THEY HAVE CHANES TO ANCHOR THE JEEP TO THE BED OF THE TRUCK. THEY ARE IN LIKE NEW CONDITION AND COME IN THE ORINENAL COAM BOX.”
Estate sale items with no titles. One body is fiberglass the other is supposed to be MB/GPW, but looks civilian to me. They have to go. Price will drop.
“Hi, I am looking to sell my 2 willys jeeps. The blue one as shown in the picture’s is a 1946. It does have a 4 cyl motor (doesn’t run) although it is not locked up. It has a fiber glass body also except for the hood and the front grill.
The other jeep is the green one as pictured, and it is a 1943 all metal body.
It does not have a motor or tans but I do have a 6 cyl super sonic with trans that goes with it.
Neither of the jeeps have title’s due to being lost in the estate although they are cleared to be sold.”
It’s a little less than original, but looks in great condition.
“We are pleased to present this restored 1947 Willys Overland CJ-2A, originally manufactured in Toldedo, OH. This classic civilian version of the famous WWII Jeep MB was completely rebuilt in 1983 and has less than 10,000 miles recorded since. This Willys is period correct, to our knowledge, in every facet besides being converted to a 12V from a 6V. It is powered by the numbers matching 4-Cylinder Flathead, known historically as the “Go Devil,” which produced 60hp at 4,000rpm and 105lb-ft at 2,000rpm. The transmission is a Borg-Warner T-90A1 that is a 3-speed manual and floor shifted. The transfer case is twin stick and gear driven, known as a Dana/Spicer 18. Produced from 1941 to 1971, this transfer case is known for its strength, reliability, and ease of maintenance. This CJ also features an aftermarket CD player and sound system. The first production of the civilian versions began after the war in July of 1945 and ended sometime in 1949. Examples like this well-restored CJ-2A are hard to come by in this condition – the majority of them have not survived the test of time, wear and tear. We are confident this Willy will deliver smiles and satisfaction to its new owner. It comes with doors, supports and top; however, more fun to drive and ride in with them left in the garage. This classic example will not be here long at the price offered so call or e-mail today.”

(09/29/2010) The price looks right and the engine looks good.
“I have a 1953 Willys CJ3B Jeep, it is in Good/Fair condition. I bought it in 2009 and drove it for a year than parked it in storage to work on it. The rest is history. I changed the oil, greased all joints, and changed the fluid in both diffs. It needs a full restoration if you wanna go that route.
134 c.i. OHV 4 cylinder, 3 spd. manual with twin stick transfer case
Dana 20 front axle, Dana 44 rear axle
This vehicle does not run but the engine is not seized up, I removed the rear drive shaft so it can be moved. It needs more than I can give it and I hate to let it go, but I’d rather see someone else driving it on the road, than have it sitting in front of my house.”
The windshield is not M-38 … maybe CJ-3B? Or possible DJ.
