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 .
It’s a fairly early CJ-2A given the 3 data plates.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was an auction.
The estate liquidator is asking too much for this. Note how rusty the windshield is. It does have a warn OD.
“1947 Willys Jeep, Restored.
Restored and Drivable, not presently inspected.
Has cracked windshield.
Stored in garage for several years.”
Somebody likes painting with purple (or indigo or violet … you be the color judge).
“This is a 1946 cj2a. It is considered an “early” model with a vin 19,xxx. It has a title. It has an “F” head motor from a later model which is a little bit taller and so there is a hood scoop to accomidate the carb. It runs good and has a solid body that has been patched up. The only issue is it needs a new clutch assembly($125) oh yeah and its painted purple.”

UPDATE: Was $4500. **SOLD**
(07/26/2011) Lots of updates to this wagon, but it looks like it could use some new paint.
“1958 Jeep Willys Sedan delivery customized 2 wheel drive. This Jeep was customized back in the early 1970s. Has AMC 290 V8 engine with automatic transmission and V8 AMC rear end. Jeep does have air conditioning but it does need charged. Received a new set of Keystone classics and BF Goodrich T/A tires in 2008. All drivetrain components were out of a 1969 Javelin. This Jeep was driven daily in Florida up until the mid 1980s and has been parked until 2008. Ready to drive but does need restored because of lacquer paint showing its age. Jeep has spent its entire life in Florida until 2008. Does have some rust but less than most its age. Front end tilts for easy access to the motor.”
Gordon volunteered to share images of his unusual Unimog 401, which he calls ‘Grog’. It’s a pretty cool vehicle. Gordon got it from Cold War Remarketing in Colorado; in turn, he got it from the Swiss Army
Gordon writes,”Grog is completely street legal, I had him licensed and insured for a while. Top speed with its behemoth 25HP OM636 is 35 mph. (Probably far short of that here at 6000’ elevation). I have a few other 636 engines and have toyed with the idea of trying to turbocharge one of them, but that’s pretty far down on my list. Mercedes also used the 636 in the early Ponton cars (180D).”
The seller believes this is a prototype CJ-6 body. Perhaps someone can take a closer look, as I am no expert on CJ-6s.
“Early 1950’s Jeep CJ6 body tub (this one is similar to the M170 ambulance)
I think this is a prototype body made between 1953 and 1955 after the military version but before the civilian version was released. All tool boxes are factory items, it has the passenger side drop where the spare tire was located in the military version – but there’s a toolbox lid on it. It does not have the 24volt connection on the passenger side, it does have the “JEEP” logo on the side. Included with this body are the dashboard (original plus one that was installed over the top of the original), the steering column, and the cowl vent lid. The dashboard is taller than other CJ versions by a couple of inches. The left side of the dash has a glove box (you can see it in the picture) with the lid. I think I’ve still got the taillights for it as well.
It also comes with the 50 gallon large fuel tank under the drivers floorboard (you can see the filler housing on the left side behind the door). I think this was a military-only item as I’ve never seen this tank in a CJ model.
Unfortunately some previous owner torched this body off of the original frame, and cut the bottom of the steering column off as well as some body mounts. Everything is repairable, and there is only a little rust (though there is some bondo in the passenger side behind the door). The body looks straight – it’s about a 20 footer if it were painted.
I have a few other willys and jeep parts available – 86 CJ7 body with windshield, 6 point rollcage for CJ7, willys truck body and frame, cj5/6 heater vent plenum
If you’re looking for a CJ6 body this is a lot cheaper than the Omix-Ada bodies out there – plus it’s got some unique features.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
Needs motor at the very least.
“Willies Jeep.4×4. Ready for a 302 Ford motor. All there except motor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4200.
Since it has the CJ-2A windshield, I wonder if it really is a 3A.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep for sale. Rebuilt motor. New paint (red) .$4,200 Call or text for more info.”
No pics provided.
“Some Willys, Jeeps & Many PARTS, Call ED @ 4026895105 ,Thanks”

One truck runs and the other two need a little work.
“3 Willys pickups and 1 rolling chassis……….$9500.00 for all….Or????

“I have a very nice 1953 Willys truck, it was a pickup but converted to a flatbed, original 134 four cylinder F head, dual range 4WD, three speed, all original, 12 Volt conversion (new rebuilt alternator last fall), Michigan title in my name, it has been converted to a flat bed with the bed from a 1936 Ford, finished wood oak deck and side rails,very good deep lug tires, RUNS VERY WELL, great “Cruise Night” vehicle or old car show item. These Willys pickups in good running condition are getting extremely difficult to find, they are almost non-existant (check on Craigs List)………
I dont need the money, this truck is only a toy for me…….but I would be willing to trade for a comparable condition Harley WL, FL type springer, Bad Boy, FXST, a Duece Coupe type, T-bucket hot rod, antique auto, ratrod, rat rod, hot rod, replica auto (very minor repairs ok), would even consider a trade for a Corvette………sorry, I am retired and have no interest or time for a project vehicle, just looking for something else.

(03/29/2011) Lots of stock jeep here. It looks like the bow holders are missing.

James and Tish run Red River Offroad Tours out of Taos and Red River, New Mexico. One of their vehicles is the refurbished 1975 CJ-6 shown below.
James writes, “The 1975 CJ6 was used by the US forest service in Colorado. It has a rebuilt stock motor and transmission. The suspension was modified with a 4′ lift kit and Cooper STT 33×12.50-15 on 8″wheels with a Disk brake conversion on the front. A couple custom built bench seats above the wheel wells in the back have been added for visitors. It also has a Custom built shade/rain canopy.
We do on and off-road Jeep tours in the mountains of Northern New Mexico. Taos and Red River,NM reaching elevations of 12,689. May thru the end of October. 7 days a week. www.redriveroffroad.com”
So Check out the website to learn more. Check out their photo album. That’s a cool effect. http://www.redriveroffroad.com/album/index.html
After restoration and modifications:
HOG spotted this clean looking CJ-2A.
“Really Clean. It has the Original Flathead in it, redone of course.”

This is either a scam or a great price.
“Original ’56 Willys Jeep, 4 cyl – 3 speed w/overdrive. New brakes, new clutch, new top, new tires, original paint, Rancho suspension.”
I thought this looked like a good rig until I noticed someone had defiled an “In N Out Burger” sticker on the dashboard. Then I actually read the new meaning, “In N Out urge”. Ok, I can live with that.
“42 WILLYS MILITARY JEEP— RUBICON PROVEN AND READY, BUICK V6, 538 GEARS, FULL LOCK FRONT N REAR, NEW BFG MUD TERRAIN TIRES, WINCH, JACK, NITROGEN BOTTLE TO FILL TIRES, LOTS OF EXTRA PARTS—WAY TOO MUCH TO LIST EVERYTHING!!!!!
