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 .
No obvious issues that I see.

Need it gone to make room for new project.
Make any resonable offer.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/04/2011) There might be some value, but pretty rusty, too.
“Here we have for sale a 194? Willys Jeep.
The engine that came with this Jeep is totally machined at Ferris State Univerity back around 1984 or so, I have all new rings, bearings, seals, gaskets, distributer cap and rotor, plugs and wires, even a new thermostat, new pressure plate, clutch, and throw out bearing. The crankshaft and camshaft were also completely machined, and the valves were ground and the seats were done also, and the valve guides were knurlized. The pistons and rods were also balanced. The engine is still apart and sitting under my work bench where it’s been since around 1984 or so. I also have a complete extra engine that goes with the whole deal, last I knew that engine was said to have run but burned some oil, but since I never heard it run I don’t know what the condition really is on it as it has been under the work bench all these years.
The jeep has a hi/low range 3 speed transmission and a lever engaged transfercase. I have the grille and starter, alt, ect. ect. I am pretty sure that all the parts are there to put this back together, they have all been stored in a trailer out of the weather all these years, and the new parts for the engine have been stored under my workbench in the garage with the two engines.
I know that I’ll never make the time to put this together and figure that if I sell it cheap enough someone may get some use out of it.
I spent a lot of money to have the work done on the engine and all the new parts were $550 so I really think that $700 is a very fair price.
Thanks for looking at this listing. I left the link to email me but a call would be much better because I don’t check the email very often.
call 231-872-5119 and leave a message if you don’t get an answer.”

(06/01/2011) There appears to be value in this project.
“1946 Willys CJ2A, comes with an uninstalled 305 Chev small block engine, sits on 35’s. Great project for someone who has the time. Also have a running 300 straight, 6 engine, with transmition and transfer case, which came out of a 73 Jeep CJ 7, selling for $900.”
UPDATE: New paint and a price bump.
(09/02/2010) This looks like a nice jeep. Note that it is missing a fuel inlet on the driver’s side of the body, there is no tailgate, and it appears to be missing the drain holes by the steps. This may be a MB body or a fiberglass body.
“Nice new paint job, Colorado Jeep with new tub and original engine, lock outs, new brakes, ready to drive, all lights work and a great summer time vehicle… Better than a 4 wheeler to drive in the woods!!! engine runs great and starts fast….. buyer can have choice of wide tires on jeep or original rims and tires that are 16 inch rims…..920-856-6539……please no low ball offers as this is not a fire sale, has good Wisconsin title and I will be driving and registering this if does not sell in June…..”

“For Sale
1943 Ford GPW Military Jeep (Willys)
$3500 OBO
During WWII when Willys could not make Jeeps fast enough, Ford stepped in and produced 278,000 Jeeps to help in the war effort. This is one of those Jeeps. It is almost identical to the Willys MB but its small differences make it kind of fun to own.
All the running gear is correct for this vehicle. It starts and runs and it’s fun to drive. The transmission, 4 Wheel drive, High/Low range work fine. The brakes feel good.
o New Firestone NDT tires
o New combat wheels
o The frame is in nice shape
o The tub is very, very rough
o New hood
o New battery and one wire alternator
o New front bumper with wood block insert
o Clean Oregon title
Included in sale
o Original hood
o Two service manuals
o One extra original combat rim
o Extra “F marked” transfer case of unknown condition
o Misc. extra parts
o New temp gauge
This is a 68 year old rig that is need of a total restoration. It drives and stops but is not legal to drive on the public roads. Please plan for a way to transport it home.”
This currently has a motorcycle tank in place of the standard tank.
“1942 Civilianized WWII Ford Jeep
Running, driving and stopping but is not road worthy without lots of TLC. GPW running gear. Not sure about the tub, has been diamond plated all around and has, I believe, a CJ2A windshield frame. Nice low back seats (possibly from a Mustang). Has a full soft top with doors, and a roll bar. No back seat. BF Goodrich tires with lots of tread and very light weather checking on chrome spoke wheels. Three speed manual transmission. Go devil four cylinder engine which runs good but won’t idle. Jeep needs a gas tank, but is currently running with a Yamaha motorcycle tank mounted on the front bumper (THIS IS TEMPORARY). Has new air cleaner, electronic fuel pump, and pressure regulator. Needs a battery. This could be a nice Jeep as is, but also could be restored back to military as it is still on GPW running gear (Ford) (the front and back of the frame was modified at some point). There is a wench mounted on the front which looks to be PTO driven and electric (not sure as I haven’t hooked it up electrically to see if it would run, but looks like it has a PTO input). As you can see by the pictures, this is a pretty clean and very cool Jeep. It wouldn’t take a lot to put it on the road. $2400 OBO”

“1949 Willys Wagon – 4WD
The 4WD is rare. 1949 was the first year that Willys introduced the 4WD to the Wagon.
The Wagon is in good running condition and is great for shows and Sunday driving.
A paint job would help improve the look of the Wagon.
The car comes with an overdrive (that is not installed) and some spares.
The car is a rare piece of history! This is care created the lineage that now boasts the various Jeep Cherokees.”

(05/20/2011) This is a pretty clean barn find.

(04/15/2011) What is that on the hood?
“1953 Willys military Jeep. My father-in-law had this surplus Jeep turned into a hunting Jeep complete with a marine plywood dog box. It always ran great, but unfortunately I never started it up after he gave it to me eight years ago. It was stored outside for much of that time, but is now stored inside.
This is a historical model. The M-38A1 was the military equivalent to the civilian CJ-3. 1953 was the first year of the M-38A1. The CJ-3 didn’t come out until the following year. Definitely a collectors item for Willys Jeep fans.”

“1949/51 Willys Project For Sale. I am getting too old, and a promotion at work is eating all of my time. So, sadly, my old Willys has to go. I have put a lot of myself into this project, but the years drag on and I am not sufficiently close to completing the job to keep at it. The reason I call her a 49/51 is that the title says it’s a ’49, but the VIN would indicate that it’s a ’51. Dave Reed I welcome all inquiries. email: home_stead@msn.com

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
(04/08/2009) It looks like someone got lost among the 10,000 lakes, got out, and never came back.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep Body on a NEWER jeep frame. Good mud truck project. NO TITLE OR MOTOR…$800 b/o…DO NO EMAIL. CALL GARY”
