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 MB/CJ-2A hybrid.

How about this unusual top?
“I have for sale a Willys JEEP CJ2A. The jeep is currently titles as a 1972 because it is very hard in my state to get a new title. The original serial number is on the jeep. The jeep is tagged and i have driven it alot on the road. The jeep has always performed very well for me. The body has been patched over the years with new metal, (no bondo that i can see). The frame is in good shape. All the brakes have been replaced, (master cyl., wheel cyl., lines, shoes, ect. ). The wire harness has been updated to 12 volt and all the lights work fine. The 4 wheel drive also works great. The engine runs good and all the gears work fine in the trans. The water pump is new and the starter is rebuilt. I bought this jeep when i retired 5 years ago to pull a wagon with firewood out of the woods, I am older now and find it hard to get in and out of so i bought a tractor instead. This is a really fun little jeep and i hope some one will enjoy it as much as i have. This is a reserve auction and i will not reveal the price. The jeep is being sold “AS IS” with NO WARRANTY”. There is a $500.00 non-refundable deposit required within 48 hrs of end of auction. If you have any questions or would like to make an appointment to inspect the jeep before bidding yo may call me at 443-553-2712 my name is MIke. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.”

This looks solid.
“I need to sell my 1965 Jeep CJ5. It’s the Tuxedo Park, Mark IV Edition with 74,000 miles, mostly all original with average wear for it’s age. It has the original four cylinder motor and 3 spd transmission. The Jeep is light blue, and has a black bikini top, a little rust and good body. I can take some pictures of it, but if your interested you probably need to see it anyways. It needs some work on the brakes and steering, but it’s a great 4×4 and lots of fun, I hate to sell it but I have to.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This runs and drives. The body isn’t perfect, the price looks very good.
“Jeep is in very good condition for it’s age, frame is solid. 4 cylinder engine, 3 speed trans, twin stick transfer case. Runs and drives, 4×4 works good. I use it around the farm almost daily. It does not have a title! It will be sold with a bill of sale only, I have bills of sale from the last 2 owners and I will provide one as well. It needs a front wheel cylinder as it leaks all the brake fluid out.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,500.
Here’s a nice wagon with some barn doors.
“350 Chevy, BW auto. Mustang 2 front end-disc brks, rear drum Good overall:paint,body,interior, glass and drive line, etc. ”

(05/09/2011) It appears someone took a red jeep and sprayed it over with green (different shades actually as seen on the driver’s side fender). It doesn’t appears there was much prep. I think this looks like a flip job, as just enough was done to re-militarize it.

(10/03/2010) This is listed as a 1949, but I am leaning towards that being a DJ body. That looks like a good price.
“good body & floor. ”
UPDATE: This is back on eBay
(12/21/2010) This flattie has appeared in a variety of four wheel articles. Lots of links below.
“I am selling my super clean 1951 Willys CJ-3A, which has been featured in several articles in Four Wheeler magazine as Project Colonel Mustard. I wish I could keep it, but life changes dictate that I sell it. The serial number on the Willys is 451GB110046 and I am the fourth owner. This is an AS IS sale and the Jeep has a clean California title.
This Flattie was restored in 1997 and is rust free. It has an L134 flat head and T-90 3-speed transmission with an Advanced Adapter Saturn overdrive. The stock Dana 25 front and Dana 41 rear axles have mechanical lockers. The shocks are CJ-5 Bilsteins that work with the 2-in lift springs from Deaver Spring. The rear of the tub has been Line-Xed, and wheels are custom 15-inch Stockton units that have been powder coated black and the tires are 30×9.5R15 BFGoodrich Mud-Terrains. We have also completed an 11-inch non-assist drum brake conversion at all four corners. Steering is new and tight and braking performance is strong and straight. On the front bumper is a Warn 8274 winch. An Optima yellow top battery is under hood, along with a billet optical distributor and 12-volt conversion that uses the stock starter (rebuilt last year). A custom rear tire carrier moves the spare to the tailgate. This Jeep has a reinforced Smittybilt roll bar and seatbelts out of a YJ for all four positions. Also added is a Tuffy center console and 12v power point on the dash.
I recently rebuilt the carb and the Jeep starts right away every time and runs strong. It will reach speeds faster than 55mph if there is enough room to get there. It is a great weekend runabout and it has been wheeling in the So Cal desert, as well as the slick rock of Moab.
I have many of the original parts, including the original points and distributor and generator, along with the rear drawbar hitch. Also have manual and books. All of this comes with the purchase. The Power Tank and Hi-Lift jack are NOT part of the sale.
Here are some of the articles that have appeared in Four Wheeler magazine:

(02/27/2011) That’s an unusual hood scoop.

“This chassis has all the running gear, transmission and transfercase. This is a cab over the engine pick up FYI. No body parts are on this truck. Asking a fair price at $300.00, for what it is, I believe. I also have the same exact item for a 1955 Willys pick up for $200.00
Give me a call if interested, (209) 768-2570 or email me Thanks ”
This unusual photo has likely been through photoshop at least once. There’s a story attached as well. Click here to read the entire story.
In 1959 my dad and Mr. Hatcher Williams founded a summer school for high school boys at a hunting lodge in Corolla, North Carolina. I spent nearly the whole summer at Camp Yonahnoka in the Carolina mountains while my sisters and parents practically lived at the beach. (continued)
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This seems to be a mix of parts.
“EARLY WILLYS JEEP BODY : ROUGH BUT NOT RUSTY. HAS BEEN PIESED TOGETHER ; CHROME GRILLE ; FRONT FENDERS ARE FAIRLY SOLID .NO FRAME OR RUNNING GEAR ; NO WINDSHIELD FRAME ;; BODY $150 FENDERS $50 EACH GRILLE $75 HOOD $50 WOULD LIKE TO SELL ALL TOGETHER $250 NO TITLE SOLD”
This is a project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $550.
Looks rough.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A complete – lot of rust – complete running gear”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300.
The starter takes all of 15 minutes to install. I don’t understand why the seller doesn’t install it and try to start the jeep? This could be a good price. However, I’m unclear why this has a flathead motor.
“61 CJ5 Has not been run in several years. Ran good when starter went out removed starter to have rebuilt but never reinstalled . Starter is rebuilt but not installed .Has a early “Go Devil ” previous owner installed was a daily driver for him ,Sebastopol to Santa Rosa . Has Saginaw power steering installed (GM) good tires spare never been on the ground. Needs lots of fixup as you can see.Title is straight registered non op Has newer Rancho 1.5″ springs
All or parts…..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“What i have is a 1950 willys jeep CJ3A that has been restored to the best of my ability . I put in a new body kit, new paint, restored the seats, and a new wiring harness,plus lots of other new parts to numerous to list. The motor and tranny have not been touched internally. I don’t have a top for it. I drove very rarely and didn’t need a top. I bought this jeep in pa and started restoring it with my father who passed away before it was done. As far as i know everything is correct or as close to being correct as can be done. I have gotten alot of compliments on this vehicle by people who bought them when they were new. Buyer is responsible for picking up vehicle and shipping it. I will except cash or a cashiers check from a bank, at the time of pick up. I have very rarely driven the jeep, only about 3 to 5 miles and that was enough for me , so i have never really driven it very far. It has never done anything. But that doesn’t mean that it couldn’t. I just want to be as honest as possible. This also is my first time selling on e bay, so pleas bear with me. If you have questions i will try to answer them as quickly as possible. Thank You!”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5995
(03/08/2011) The VIN of #315301 on this is a little high … like 80,000 production units high. The dash is missing a couple items, but this sure looks nice.
“Great little run around flat fender Jeep. It picked up lots of TLC as of late A list of newer parts would include Body Tub Tail gate fenders grill hood windshield frame poly gas tank Front seats rear seats Alloy wheels Mickey Thompson Tires and Rancho springs. It also has been converted from to a 12 volt system with a alternator the wipers are electric and tail lights are LED. The engine has been tuned up and is absolutely purring. The steering is tight and 4×4 is solid the idle is smooth and runs great. This Jeep does not have a soft top or a hard top or doors, sold as is the open Jeep pictured. I would recomend a bikini top to the next owner and call it good at that. This Jeep is a real eye catcher and would be a fun toy to have around. Call Shep at 208.721.1973”
