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 .
What we have here is a frankenjeep. This has a DJ-3A body with tailgate, a CJ-2A windshield, a drivetrain with what appears to be a rear PTO, and what appears to be some CJV-35U Bezels.

“1948 WILLYS JEEP CJ2A: All original. Flathead 4 cylinder go devil engine. Original T90 transmission and original T18 transfer case. This Jeep does run, drive and stop however it needs total restoration.
The floors need redone. The previous owner did a bad repair job. There is some rust here and there as well. It has been converted to 12v. I have had this jeep for several years and it has been my primary off road toy. I just recently got a different jeep so I no longer need this one. I used this one for some parts for my new one. This one is still complete and can be made road worthy with little work. Right now the gas tank is not hooked up and it will need either the generator hooked up or a alternator installed. I can start and run it for the buyer off of a gas can. It has always ran well and has never left me stranded. This Jeep can be used for parts or with very little work can be made road worthy again. I drove it into my shop last weekend to remove the parts I wanted for my other one so it has not been sitting for very long. I do have a clean and clear title in my name. I have a bunch of Willys parts that I will not be needing so if the buyer wants some I may throw some in with the purchase of this Jeep. Basically cleaning up the garage a little! I will not part out this jeep only selling complete. $1000.00 cash FIRM! No I will not take a penny less. Not selling it because I need the money just don’t need two Jeeps around anymore. If i can’t give it away at $1000 it can sit in my shop and i will use it for parts. ”
This looks good.

This appears in good condition, though it has civilian parts.
“This is a 1942 Ford Military Jeep with the original 4-cylinder flathead, chassis and drive train. It purrs like a kitten. I bought this Jeep in 1976 and have driven it a few miles each year. I used it for many years at the Reno Air Races and to haul about broadcast production equipment. It has a sturdy roll bar and nice wheels. Tires are…..well, about 35 years old! Hah! Same Big O Tires I put on when I bought it. I did convert it from 6V into a 12V system for easy starting. Yes, all the lights are 12V too. The engine has been well-maintained by a friend who once worked for the original Harrah’s Automobile Collection. That’s the reason the engine purrs like a kitten. Leaks? Nope. One of the few 1942’s that DOES NOT LEAK OIL between the bell-housing and the transmission. It has front hubs and caps for the rear axle if you feel like towing it like a wagon. The windshield folds forward which is a great way to tour through the countryside. It has high range and low range 4-wheel drive and it all works flawlessly. The seats are early-American UGLY. They fit my posterior just fine but thus far, I have not been ticketed by the fashion police for such truly dreadful-looking seat covers. The body is a Willys. Someone put the body on before I purchased it in 1976 so while the body says “Willys”, the title proudly reads 1942 Ford convertible. Yup, that’s the DMV. I keep it up on the trailer because I prefer to haul it to where I’m going. After all, this Jeep is older than I am by four years and I’ve always tried to baby it. The trailer can be purchased separately if you so desire. Not too many of these military jeeps left around the countryside – especially one that is so mechanically sound. You can drive him down the freeway at 55-60 all day long. Really turns some heads.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
It has some rust. It should not be ‘rode’ on the road.

Unclear what part of the jeep needs project work.

It looks solid and nearly original.
“Very solid ole’ Willys Jeep made in 1947, was redone a little over 5 years ago, garage kept, rust free. The Engine and transmission all work great, although the transmission does leak a little, it needs a new seal, the clutch is working very well. Brakes are spongy and could use a little work, prolly adding brake fluid would do the trick. Runs down the road smooth and is road legal, I have a clear title for this jeep as well. The jeep has 16″ NDT military tires, and the roll bar is bolted on, so if you do not want that you can get rid of it by unbolting it. I have the original rods and a bikini top for it, or I have a aftermarket snap on cover that can be used as well, all included with the jeep. If you have any questions just email me plus I have more pics of the jeep if you need them.”

(11/11/2012) Lots of stock jeep to work with here.
“A very nice restoration candidate. Excellent overall condition. Very strong and quiet running engine, no smoke, starts right away. Totally correct engine compartment with all the correct 24V electrics. Transmission and transfer case shift and operate smoothly, no excessive noise or leaks. Some minor dents in the body and fenders. The only rust is not the passenger floor and is shown in the photos. A small hole was cut in the right rear wheel well and can also be seen in the pictures. Totally correct interior and exterior. Original top bows, all the brackets. No top canvas included. All original early wheels. Tires are 40% or so. Original fuel tank too!
It was 36 degrees F when I took the pictures, so the exhaust you see is not smoke!
New parts recently added: all new brake lines, wheel cylinders, master cylinder, fuel lines, batteries, front bumper, rear bumperettes, clutch z tube and seal kit, complete exhaust system.
This jeep could be used as is. Runs, drives and stops. All you need to do is put a new wiring harness in and repaint it.”
Updates Tuesday AM
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
(11/17/2012) Walter spotted this one. For $5000, this is worth a look.
“This is a really rare “big boy toy”. Professionally upgraded with a Chevrolet 350 V-8 engine and Turbo 350 automatic transmission. It also has Dana 60 running gears (front and back), and a fiberglass tilt front end. You’ll never see another one just like it. There are still some things that could be done to really make this a show winner… Unfortunetly though, I’m having to sacrifice for a more practical daily driver. I’ll trade for something nice, or sale for $4,000 obo.”
Chris discovered two custom LEGO kits at Brickmania.
