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 .

“This is a 1942 Ford military jeep with a Willys body. It has the original 4-cylinder flat head engine which is all original and is flawlessly maintained. It has front hubs, special wheels, high range and low range 4WD, windshield folds down and it DOES NOT LEAK OIL. It is tuned to perfection and runs like a kitten. Everything works including the hi and lo-range transfer case. The body is……well, it is 69 years old. No, it does not look like a new Jeep. It has been converted to a 12-volt electrical system for easy starting. Otherwise, it is a 1942 right down to its OD green steering wheel. The seats are a true picture of ugliness and I like it that way. This is in all ways, a true diamond in the rough. Mileage? Surely you jest. I haven’t a clue. Whatever it says – it can’t be true. When you hear it start, hear it idle and then crawl up a hill with all the throat that a 4-cylinder can muster, you’ll think you’ve died and gone to heaven”
This comes with emergency brake blocks (check front wheels).
“This is a totally rebuilt and customized 1959 Willys CJ3. I bought this for my wife several years ago and she is too petite to drive it. The engine & transfer case were rebuilt. Frame is clean and coated, no rust. It has a fiberglass tub and stainless fasteners, metal hood. 2″ lift kit. 2 sets of fog lights. Custom front and rear bumper that holds spare tire, two Jerry Cans and Jack. Front bumper has mounts for tow bar. Electronic ignition, point & parts included. Electric wipers. There is an alloy fuel cell installed in the rear seat area. I also have a gas tank that will fit underneath if you want to install a rear seat that I will throw in. Have manuals also. The top is brand new. Custom bucket seats with competition seat belts. This is a very clean Willys, the only rust is on the rims where the water lays when it gets wet. I have over $7400 invested. Asking $6800.00 or best offer. No low ball offers. I don’t need to give it away. A must see to appreciate, you won’t find another one like this one. Feel free to ask question, I will help anyway I can. Email or Call 724 263 2404”

This might have a tailgate.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This sounds pretty solid. The seller notes in a comment, “This jeep is about 99% rust free original condition. There is a very small place in the floor under the tool box. The hat channels are free of rust. The bolt holes for the tire hanger were skimed over.”
“This is a 1963 Willys CJ3B Jeep in excellent condition for a jeep of it’s age. It is stock except for the steering wheel and tail lights. It has the 4 cyl F-134 engine and 3 speed trans with Hi and low 4wd. You don’t find many of these jeeps in this condition. It has only 30258 miles on a working speedometer. This jeep comes with a set of original GoodYear Suburbanite 760×15 Super Cushion tires, this is the same tires that were available from the factory on these jeeps.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Sounds like a good rig. It smokes a little.
“This is a great old Willys CJ3b that I found and restored about 4 years ago. I found the Willys locally here in Anaheim CA, It was used mainly as a family camping rig through the 60s and 70s, it had been sitting in the side yard of a house in Anaheim for many years. Basically no rust to speak of. The body is really straight and clean origianal metal. I started with the mechanicals and rebuilt the brakes, the carb, new gas tank, new electric fuel pump, new ignition.. etc. I added a quart of oil and the ole OHC engine came right up! It starts and runs great, it smokes some on initial start/choke. Smokes a little under load. but performs perfect for my needs. The snow plow was an old Ebay item of hunk of metal rust that I shipped to CA from back East. I blasted and painted like new, and realized I had original serial # 150 Western Snow Plow! I spoke with a retired Western Engineer and he remember those first plows to come off the line, basically all hand built. that was fun talking to him. I spoke with current Western engineers, and they helped me engineer the upgrades to the plow. It now has full Hydrualics up/down and swivel. all new components and works great. The 1955 hard top was found in Sacramento CA and was blasted and painted with the body in 2008. Only surface rust, no major repairs required. I never finished installing windows in the top. I have the doors, but never finished restoring the rollup windows. The rig has a unique “Tuxedo” trim package front chrome bumper that is very cool. It has an original 1960s Smittlybuilt full cage. I installed new Bestop lowback front seats. I have the original heater parts, but never put it back in. I have used the Willys the last four years pushing snow around my cabin in Big Bear Lake, CA. Never had any issues with it. It always starts, and runs strong. It has origianl 60s mag wheels and four new all terain tires with chains. The rig has been garaged the last four years, only driven during the winter to push snow around the driveway and access roads. I usually keep it in 4-low, but I have occassionaly put in high gear to tootle around the neighborhood during the summer. it always turns heads and makes people smile. I would not recommend as a daily driver, but rather as a collectable conversation peice, and as a hell of a little work horse plow for a small property like mine. I had thoughts of going through the motor/rings to eleviate the smoking. but it runs so well, I never did it. I have had a great time with this rig, but it is time for me to move on to a new project. I know there are Jeep/Willys affectionados out there that will appreciate this little rig as much as me. Please let me know of any questions about it you may have. Really nice straight body/top. All metal . all original. I’m a big guy, and I did re-locate the driver seat back a few inches. other than that, she’s a stocker!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
Except for the rust along the passenger side, this appears pretty solid. I think the front frame rails and bumper are in good shape, too.
“For sale a nice used 47′ CJ-2a jeep. Running condition, everything works fine but the brakes could use a master cylinder. Body is in pretty nice original condition with the only damage being a rust spot on the passenger rear quarter, and the passenger floor has a plate of metal on the floor. The complete nose with windshield is excellent shape, as is the undamaged dashboard with all good gauges.
The frame is also very good shape, with the original bumper gussetts still intact, bolted to a homemade bumper that is easily removable. Rear drawbar is in perfect condition.
The axles appear to have been changed out by a previous owner to MB military units both front and back. You can see the military axle mount bellcrank not connected, as the 2a has a crossmember mounted bellcrank.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600

The last time Goose shared images of his CJ-3B, he had just finished a four month restoration. Over the last nine months he had a chance to make a few additional updates and take some more pictures for us. You can see his original post here. Nice angles on the pics Goose!

The winch setup looks unusual … or is it a plow setup?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
This has a variety of updates.
“1942 Ford GPW almost identical to a Willys CJ2A.
~Engine is a Ford 289 with a 2 barrel carb.
~T90 transmission that I rebuilt within the last 500 miles
~Dana 18 transfer case
~Original front and rear axles but I have a Dana 44 with a locker, full floating hubs and 11 inch brakes for the rear and another front axle with 11 inch brakes.
~Currently has an all aluminum hard top that was made by a company called Metro.
~Has a back seat with shoulder belts attached to the roll bar for the little ones and lap belts in the front.
~The winch will most likely go with the Jeep it is a Warn 7000lb.
~The rear bumper has a tire carrier, two gas can carriers and brackets that hold a high lift jack. (gas cans and jack are not included).
~Has an aftermarket heater mounted under the drivers seat that provides more than enough heat even on cold days.
~Has a tow bar and wiring (I towed it behind my RV twice).
~Suspension consists of stock Wrangler Leaf springs over the axles on custom hangers. Ride is very soft and very flexible. Drives ok around town but I don’t take it on the freeway.
~Has power steering using parts from a Jeep Cherokee
~Stainless steel gas tank under the passenger seat.
It took me years to put this Jeep together. I have only driven it once in the past year. It is not perfect but it is a very functional off road vehicle. I have had it up to Walker Valley ORV Park twice. Both times it handled all of the trails I was on with ease. The winch works great for towing Samurais back onto there wheels. This has not been abused off road though pretty much just idled around. This is probably not the best daily driver but would make an excellent hunting rig. I am willing to deliver with my car trailer within a reasonable distance. If you are interested come take a look and make me a fair offer.”

(01/13/2010) This jeep looks very cold.
“

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
Both are projects.
“I have two Willys Jeeps for sale. One is a 1948 Willys Jeep Carry All and the other is a 1950 Willys Overland Jeepster Carry All. I have the titles to both. The 48′ has the original flat head 4 cylinder, but no transmission. The motor has been completely rebuilt, but never fired. The 50′ has no motor, but does have a transmission. Restoration was started, but never finished on both. Bodies are solid, with very little surface rust. They both have been stored in a shed, on concrete for the past several years. I am asking $5000 OBO, which is the price for BOTH.”
