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 needs a closer look.

“This is a 1965 Jeep CJ5a limited edition Tuxedo Park Mark IV. The Jeep has not run in a few years now, when we parked it my mechanic indicated it had a timing issue and I haven’t gotten back to it since. Compression was good at that time. It has the original 134 cubic inch Hurricane 4 cylinder motor”
Has some mods, including a Warn OD.

“1946 CJ2A Runs and drives Has WARN overdrive unit Manual locking hubs. 4×4 works good. Brakes could be better but that’s typical. Has a ford pinto engine swapped in with stock 3 speed trans and warn overdrive unit. 4 stick jeep. Clean texas title. I have a soft top for it with doors and original pizza cutter steel wheels.

Needs some brake work. This has about a 3″ to 4″ body lift.
“1952 Jeep Willie’s CJ3A. 351 Cleveland automatic transmission. Somebody put a hydraulic steering in It. Break need cleaned up from setting.”
Could be worth a look. No description provided.

It runs, so there could be value here.

“If I sell it, I will take the ad down. I am dropping the price to $1,500 and I won’t go any lower. Someone come pick it up.
1948 Willys Jeep. This jeep is all original and has been sitting for over 10 years. It does not run. It needs a lot of work but the body is in good shape. It does have some rust in spots especially the floor boards and tailgate. I know it needs a new fuel tank and all new fluids. I installed new 31×10.50 bf Goodrich all terrain tires on it 2 months ago. I would love to fix it up as planned but just don’t have the time anymore. I need it gone asap. Make me an offer. Asking $2,500 obo. NO TITLE! I do have the original VIN tag and it will come with a bill of sale.”
The hardtop has been patched, but looks in reasonable shape. There seems to be some value here.

“Old army jeep everything original and it’s all there needs to be towed, put a battery in it and it did nothing”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(03/30/2022) Seems solid. It’s got an early 2A grille and a few other mods.
“Selling this 1952 Jeep CJ-2A Willy’s, this is an awesome time capsule jeep, has a new best top on it, comes with doors as well, freshly painted and restored, it runs and drives great, all the lights, horn, gauges…etc work, parked in the showroom come check it out! Asking $10,000, open to any trades or offers!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
I can’t tell how much value is here, but it does look to have a GPW body (albeit with a cut tailgate area).
“Purchased this in Alabama, the same day I found a vintage Honda in Florida i had to have. I don’t have room for both so this has to go. I have an m38 diesel project I’m trying to finish so I need the space. No title”
A few months ago Nate shared a few pics of a Willys Electric Light Plant. Below are a few more. He has even more pics and info on the earlyCJ-5 page: http://www.earlycj5.com/xf_cj5/index.php?threads/151693/
For those going to the Willys Picnic this year, it sounds like he will be bringing it along (June 12th Kempton, PA).
Dave asked me about the type of adapter used on DJ-3As and FJs to connect an automatic transmission (which may have been the Borg Warner model 12 according to David Sapp mentioned in his comment to this post, though I have no documented evidence of this, but it should be out there somewhere). Essentially, a adapter plate is bolted to the back of an L-head/F-head engine, to which the transmission bell housing attaches.
After some searching, Dave spotted the adapter in an FJ supplement book. Here are the pics.
Meanwhile, a discussion from 2012 on the topic of DJ-3A automatic transmissions yielded these pics showing a BW transmission connected to an L-head with a similar looking plate.
As for the rare shifter that’s been captured in some pics, this pic is the best I have (from a DJ-3A automatic). It confirms Barry Goodwin’s comment on another post that the transmission lacked a “Park” feature. Instead, the driver would put it in neutral when parking (and I assume pull the parking brake).
If anyone has a document that confirms it was the M-12 BW transmission that was used, or has more pics or is aware of other useful discussions on this topic, please let me know. There isn’t much info about these setups on the web.
FYI: Based on my research, it appears the Willys Aero cars of the 1950s used a GM Hydramatic rather than a BW transmission.
Has some updates, but looks like a pretty good price.

Listed as a 1948 and described as a CJ-2A, this seems closer to a CJ-3A.

“I have an old Willys flat fender jeep available for sale. This is not a true military jeep, just a CJ2A it was done up to look like one.

This wagon has some rust and damage in the rear, but otherwise appears in decent shape. It might be worth a look.

“This is a repost of an original listing I mistakenly first put under auto parts. Its listed here as a Wrangler because FB doesnt offer any selections for ww2 stuff. This is a posting for a 1942 Ford GPW, and a body tub for a 1943 Ford GPW, and lots of miscellaneous parts. Also, for sale seperately is a 1943 MB trailer. ***I DONT HAVE EXTRA PARTS*** I restored a GPW a few years back, with the intention to restore at least one more jeep. These are the parts I have left over, and have decided not to do another restoration. Id prefer to sell everything all at once, as one package; You can then sell off what you dont need or want.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
