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 .
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9900.
Well, despite the claims, it isn’t an Army version. It seems to be potpourri of years.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP. RESTORED. ARMY VERSION. SOLID WILLYS. RUNS GREAT.”
I think this is complete and not a project.
“Early 50s willys body, 78′ CJ7 frame and axles, 77′ 302 ford motor, car 4 speed, willys transfer case. This would make a great rock crawler or just a toy for the farm. contact me at 6604240331. thanks”

(06/29/2010) The seller suggest the engine needs rebuilding.
“This Jeep was stored in a barn for 30 years and has a great body plus a Pa. title. 11″ Bendix brakes and a Hurricane F-4 engine are from a CJ5. I’ve never tried to start the engine because I intended to adapt a GM V-6 during the restoration. Now, I need the garage space and don’t have time to work on the 3A, so it needs a new home. Asking $2500 412-335-0972”

Here’s an unusual MB that I spotted on Flickr. I don’t remember seeing it anywhere else (but sometimes my memory isn’t all that good!).
The hood and grille looks good from far away.
“52 willys frame and engine. Lots of extra parts. 800 obo or possible trade for 80s toyota parts. You can contact me any time at 6203717”
http://nmi.craigslist.org/cto/2326757138.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Hard to say what the value is here. What are the streaks on the hood?
“i’m selling my ’42 Willys MB. please see pictures. i have too many projects to do this jeep justice.
I do NOT have a title for this jeep. what you get is what you see: a frame that is in great condition, two good axles and a nice grill. the body has LOTS of rust. the finders and hood are all repairable.”
**SOLD** Was $500
“Basically all original, but not running. No title.
In my opinion, the frame, transmission, transfer case and running gear are usable for someone wanting a project. Original 4-cyl motor turns over by hand. It was running and I drove it around many years ago. I completely disassembled it in preparation for a rebuild, but lost interest and moved on to other projects. I still have ALL the parts. Instruments, latches and detail pieces were stored indoors. Hood, grill, window frame and tailgate are solid with surface rust. Seat frames are in great shape.
Email me if you want more pics. I think it’s a great foundation for a Willys project.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(04/11/2011) This looks in good shape, though it does need some work.
“1960 Jeep FC170 Forward Control from California and only in New England a couple of years, kept indoors, 6 cylinder, 3 speed transmission, 4×4, solid cab and frame, 12 volt, electric over hydraulic dumping stake bed, newer windshield, back window broken but in tact. This is a running, driving project and needs electrical work (lights, horn, gauge) and minor mechanical work (parking brake, tune up). Runs, drives, and goes fine down the road (top speed about 40 mph). Email call or text Michelle 207-321-1148 or Eric 207-650-7900. If this ad is still up, the vehicle is still available; I will delete the ad as soon as it is sold. Thanks for your interest!”

HOG spotted this unusual ‘Willys Jeep’ song, which is a rewrite of Queen’s Bicycle Race song, over at Kaiser Willys Blog.
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“You are bidding on a 1943 Ford GPW Willys Jeep, which has had an amateur restoration done in 2002. It is from a local San Jose, CA estate we are selling. It starts right up and drives OK. The vehicle has the original data tags on the glove box showing the vehicle serial number: GPW118251. The frame serial number is GPW118251. The Body serial number, which is supposed to be stamped on the tub/body driver side cowl is not present. The Engine serial number, supposed to be stamped on the block to the right of the Oil filler tube is not present.
ENGINE & RUNNING GEAR: 4 cylinder 134 cid 60 HP L-Head engine apparently of a later date, serial number unknown. The only numbers I could find on the engine were located on the lower right side just above the oil pan: 10-4 . . . 64 1087-L-W7 AN1-CR-N2. The engine has an alternator upgrade kit. The engine has a small water leak, I suspect from the water pump. The transmission seems OK, but the clutch will need replacing before too long. The transfer case looks OK, the 4WD works OK.
BRAKES: The brakes appear to need replacing, along with repair to the emergency brake.
ELECTRICAL: The vehicle has been converted to a 12 Volt system. It looks like the wiring harness was replaced when restored in 2002. I could not get the headlights, brake light, dashboard lights or horn to work, but all other electrical functions seem OK.
FRAME: Original with VIN # GPW118251. The front left tongue has rewelded from a wreck, with some rust, otherwise it looks OK.
BODY: I couldn’t find the VIN where it is suppose to be located. The body shows rewelding work and heavy bondo work, with some cracks showing through the paint. But it looks pretty good.
EXTERIOR: Canvas top has wear to the left rear seam and some fading, but looks OK. It was repainted Army Olive Green with white lettering in 2002 and is in good condition. It has the tools on the side, gas can on the rear and a tow bar on the front.
INTERIOR: The driver’s seat has a tear, otherwise the passenger seat and rear bench are OK. All the dashboard gauges work. Manual windshield wipers. Tool kit under passenger seat. With gun rack. After market seat belt for passenger only.
SUMMARY: The 2002 restoration is showing some wear, but the jeep starts right up and drives OK. I couldn’t find any “F” Ford markings on parts, or bolts. A nice driver.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
This looks like a nice rig.
“1947 CJ2-A , 225 V-6, SM420 4 speed transmission, over drive, detriot locker in rear, power lock in the front, 520 gears, setup for the rocks , body straight. $4,500 or best offer. no low ballers please.”
There may be some value here.
“I have the transmission from a 1955 jeep willys Cj5. I have noidea whats wrong with it, but it seems to be intact. it is the 3 speed transmission and transfer case all in 1. if your interested just give me an offer. my numberis 720 254 7116. Chris.”

UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
This runs and drives. The floor boards need a little work. This might restore well.
“You are looking at a very rare Willys, 4×2 Willys , DJ3A. It runs great and doesn’t smoke or knock. The paint is almost gone on it. It has four lug wheels with a straight axle in the front, all original. The brakes has a full peddle but need bleeding. The body is in reall good shape, with only two small places in the front floor. You can see this in the pictures. This would be an easy surface to repair. Driver’s seat needs to be rocovered. This vehicle is a 3 speed on the column and shifts good. I do have the front parking light lens and ring. Needs some exhaust work. It has a new windshield frame but does need a new glass and seal. Tires are in good shape. Over all with just a little TLC this Willys will be easy to restore.”
