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 .

(03/16/2011) Is the windshield extra tall or is that an illusion caused by the paint stripe?

“1944 Willys Jeep Project:
Original 1944 body, frame and engine
Flat head engine starts and runs. Has new carburetor installed
Does drive and the 4WD appears to be working
Have title for it.
Does need work to get it back on the road. Needs master cylinder and brake shoes (have the shoes – parts can be bought at Kaiser Willys online)
Have extra parts including another hood and wind shield
Would make a cool project for someone.”
This looks like a good price.
“For sale: 1946 Willys column shift jeep. Runs and stops, just needs finishing. Comes with working rear PTO.
This was going to be a long term project for me, but circumstances have changed and now I am forced to sell. This particular jeep is rare due to the column shift and the fact that is still have the rear mounted PTO.
Most everything works but the emergency brake needs to be adjusted and the dash light needs to be hooked up. I removed the car seats that were in it and have found some original CJ2A seat frames for it. It does have some old turn signals on it but they do not work, nor do they need to to have it inspected..
The green jeep shown in the pics is NOT for sale.
Please, no scammers or tire kickers, I know what this jeep is worth, and know what I am asking for it is fair. A very rare jeep that will make a very good project for someone.
Thanks for your consideration.”

The seller incorrectly labels the 1953 as a CJ-3B rather than a CJ-3A.
“i have two willys jeeps, both 4 cylinders
the 55 cj3-b has the better hurricane motor, has matching title and runs and drives but needs the brakes refreshed. it was used 4 years ago as a small plow jeep for a driveway. all the plow stuff is removed. has full enclosed cab with doors, body is okay but all there, some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them. its not the prettyest thing but its all there and like i said, runs and drives really good. motor is super smooth and does not leak a drop of oil. already 12 volt converted.
the 2 top pics, i have more pics available
the 53 willys has a really good body but some floor rott under the seat on driver side like all of them, good seat frames and a really solid windshield frame (which is rare) the glass is cracked but they always do that due to the flex in the WS frame. has original tags on the dash, new tires, “aftermarket” front and rear bumpers, otherwise mostly original
no title so its a “parts only” sale on this one. motor does not leak, i have not tried to get it running yet, motor turns over just like it should tho. would be awesome resto or rat rod project
ready to sell either one for $2000 or best or $3000 for both. can deliver if not to far from kenosha.

It runs and drives and, best of all, is a chick magnet (so says the seller)! To the seller’s credit, he does not recommend driving this on the open road in its current condition, so you will have to find your chicks in the woods (I guess). the seller lists this as a CJ-2A, but the body suggest it is a M-38.
“i’ve got a 1947 cj2a willys, titled, and currently registered and insured with the state of nc thanks to our state’s lack of a safety inspection! The body had rust holes in it but the floor boards are pretty good.
The frame has rusted, broken, and been “repaired” by joe dirt, and has since broken again on both sides towards the front.
The engine smokes and it was having overheating issues… could be as easy as the radiator, could be as bad as a headgasket or cracked head… no clue…
Transmission grinds a lot and pops out of 2nd gear. Transfer case is a CHAMP! works great. Brakes work good most of the time but could use some work, just like everything else on the jeep.
Steering is as loose as the hooker you can find most nights at castle and front st. yikes! wheels and tires are good. but the windshield is broken….
lights work. it has a sweet oooooooga horn. and it has seat frames! toss some pizza boxes on them and you’re good to go!
oh, and ALL the gauges were replaced with new ones last summer. fuel sending unit is not currently installed, but gauge is. speedometer cable came loose last week when i was driving it…. just as it clicked past 500 miles which is all i’ve driven it since i bought it a year ago and put it together. spent about $500 on gauges and switches.
all wiring is new with all new switches. far from perfect, but very functional and fused. battery is 1 year old. gm 12v alternator is 1 year old. electronic distributor is 1 year old. screw points, i’m not smart enough to adjust them.
starter was rebuilt by alternator specialist about 6 months ago. i’m assuming it has a warranty? not sure but that cost me about $275 as it was originally a 6v starter and is now 12v
this thing has been a blast for the last year. i bought it with the plans to make it road worthy and reliable and after seeing how much work it needed i decided i’d drive it until i broke it. well, it’s about to break if it doesn’t get some tlc so it’s time to sell it! buy her, fix her up, and turn a nice profit or fix it up enough to drive it to the bar and make all your friends jealous…
entire thing is spray painted sweeeet od green…. and i mean the entire thing…. wheels, shocks, tub, frame, brakes, wires, engine, everything that the paint would stick to
Asking $1500 for it, as is. i’ve got the title sitting in front of me, ready to go! i’ll drive it to your house if you don’t live too far from my place in ogden….. or you can trailer it home. i would not suggest driving this on the open road as it sits right now. she takes a little getting used to ;)”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200
(07/31/2011) The body looks pretty good.
“1948 WILLYS running four cyl. three speed all original. Flexible on the price.”
UPDATE: Jim talked to the owner. This truck had a pop up wrecking arm in the bed. This is now on eBay. I have added some pics.
Mark just let me know about this FC for sale over t jeeptruck.com. It sure looks like a good price.
“1959 FC-170 Willy’s jeep truck, 42,717 miles. 226 Hurrican L-6 engine. 3sp transmission and 2sp transfercase. Dana 44 axles front and back. Front axle has Warn lockout hubs. Overall condition is descent for a 1959 truck. Some rust on all the normal places for this year of truck. I tried to get pictures of all areas. You will have to email me if you want to see more pics. Only am posting 4 pictures. Have 20+ to send if needed. The truck also has what looks like a bed mounted tow system in the bed, but is currently just sitting loose in bed. The sys is a elect/hyd system. Whole unit folds down into a bifold compartment. I do not have the title, but do have bill of sale.”
Still Available. UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
UPDATE 2: I received some images from the seller. This looks like an exact duplicate of the western parkettes. Call the seller if you want a rare fiberglass body.
UPDATE: I’ve exchange some information with the seller. Apparently, there were two Parker brothers. One ran a garage that was known as Parker Jeep (he has passed away). Apparently, the Parker that moved West, moved back to Georgia where the brothers created some additional bodies (he now lives in Gainesville). As best as the seller knows, he has the only jeep that was actually assembled, though not complete, with an Eastern body.
“this a 1946 willys jeep frame drveline suspension etc the tub is hand laid fiberglass built by two local brothers as i was told by one of the original people that assembled them they were built onthe west coast for racing in the sand body is in excelante shape extra set of axles have a good trans transfer case drive shafts motor needs to be built this is the only one that i know still exists wasnt many to start with looking to trade for rat rod project s-10 what ever ramptruck needing work just about anything never know 1-828-557-3343 no stupid calls dont need any help just thought i would see what is out their have my phone on all day pretty late in the evening”

This looks like a nice combo, but the jeep doesn’t run.
“Jeep is a 1943 ford and the trailer is a 1944 willys, The body on both are in great shape, the motor turns over but will not start. The oil pump gear that turns the disturbutor is stripped. A VFW owned it up untill I picked it up 10years ago and it was always kept inside.’
