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 looks like this has an unusual dash.

(01/05/2011) This might be a good price.
“This is a great jeep and it runs, just needs the wiring finished and brakes redone. We have the seat frames and cushions for $350. Send me an email if you have any questions.”
Warren alerted me to a whole pile of war time Jeep images at the Australian War Memorial Online. I thought the Mobile Cinema Unit was an unusual group, so here are some images. Click on the images for additional information from Australia. (See some jeeps on their side, here)
“BRISBANE, QLD. 1943-09. JEEPS OF THE 84TH MOBILE CINEMA UNIT AND THE 85TH MOBILE CINEMA UNIT OF THE AUSTRALIAN ARMY AMENITIES SERVICE AT THE LAND HEADQUARTERS WHICH IS SITUATED IN THE UNIVERSITY OF BRISBANE AT ST. LUCIA. THIS PHOTOGRAPH SHOWS THE PROJECTOR, PROJECTOR TABLE AND SOUND EQUIPMENT OF THE 84TH MOBILE CINEMA UNIT STACKED BESIDE THE UNIT JEEP WHILE THE JEEP OF THE 85TH MOBILE CINEMA UNIT IS SHOWN FULLY LOADED.”
Check out this photo from the Australian War Memorial!
“Richmond, NSW. 1945-07-28. Flight Officer Joyce Cain (right, at wheel of jeep) and Corporal Gloria Freeman (left, in jeep) on duty with the Landing Control Officer (right) at No. 1 Parachute Training Unit, RAAF Station Richmond. During their descent, parachutists receive instructions from the Landing Control Officer through a loud speakers system mounted on the jeep.”
This appears in good shape with a few updates. This jeep is listed as a 1948 CJ-2A.
“Hard to come by Willys 1948 CJ3A Jeep. One piece windshield, Flathead 4-134 L Head Engine. T-90 Transmission. Dana 18 transfer case. 410 Axles. Engine runs great and Transmission and Transfer make no sounds or noise. Drive it home $3500.00 Or Best Offer.”

UPDATE: I think these have been sold. They were listed at $2100
Here’s a good package.
“I have two willys wagons. One is a ’53 and one is a ’57. The ’53 runs and the ’57 is a parts rig that has all the chrome pieces and original pieces. The running ’53 willys has a buick 231 oddfire that runs and drives.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay for $1000.
“This is a 1967 jeep cj5 DUALLY. My understanding is that is was owned by the Texas DOT and was used as an auger. The oil in the engine is black, but there is no apparent water in it. The engine compartment is dusty, but VERY complete. It has an alternator instead of generator. I feel with a little cleaning/tuning the engine would run. ( I have revived engines that looked 10 times worse!) The bad, The tranny cover was left loose and water penetrated it as well as the t-case (the drain plug was missing) so they are seized. The windshield is cracked. Both drive shafts are present, but disconnected due to frozen tranny and t-case. The frame has a 1/2 inch thick plate from the front bumper to the rear bumper following the contours of the frame on the outside of the frame rails. THEY ARE BOLTED TO THE FRAME and appear to be manufactured, not made by some some monkey with a torch. The rear axle is a monster, my understanding is that it is a Dana 70. There is a fuel tank, heavier than normal and with no sending unit hole. There are no seats, and the center most portion of the transmission flloor cover near the shifter is missing. The body is surprisingly lacking in rust. There is a minimal amount in the normal locations, but even the hat channels are in good shape. Please ask any questions before bidding, I am willing to help load the vehicle but the buyer is responsible for transportation. ******I just noticed in a couple of the pictures there are side steps that are NOT on the jeep any longer!*******”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $3000.
This looks like a pretty good price even with the wrong motor.
“this is a 1945 Gpw ford jeep it does not have the origianal motor it has a L head engine off of a later model jeep, the jeep also has a warren winch works great. please email if you have questions.
thanks, derek”
UPDATE: Was $2200. **SOLD**

(09/12/2010) This seller sounds like he has a couple jeeps. Last year he drove back a ’46 CJ-2A from Oakdale to Winnemucca (when it stopped running).
“Selling 1945 willys jeep CJ2a. Last fall put on new tires, seat covers, correct muffler and hardware.Original items: Military style steering wheel, horn, oil filter, windshield tiltout hinges, and military rearend. Has correct windshield fold down wingnuts, vaccum wiper, passenger manual wiper, oil filter, spare tire mount, tailgate chains and Original oak blocks on hood. Frame solid, battery tray in good shape, has generator shield, master cylinder shield and working parking brake. All lights work, including dash light. Engine # 11594, located on right side of block behind oil filter, Body #1428, taigate #1428, serial # 11325, on dash and frame. tags on firewall missing because of, you know what, heater mod. and differentials I can make out date 45. Column shift missing and floor shift installed. T- 84 trans was used, which pretty much makes this a full WW-II chassis.”
Milleage is 66,900. After being around this jeep, I believe it to be original. Thats my guess, it may not be. Original color paster green, autumn yellow rims. Engine does smoke a little, It’s a WW-II smoke screen option, LOL. Floors solid, a little rot on bottom of hat channels ( very minimal) Steps are solid and hold when stepped on. Any questions please ask and left room for more pictures if there’s something you want to see. This jeep has ‘nt been restored, it’s in its original shape after 65 years. Thanks.”
I made my way, through snow, sleet, and plenty of rain, to Seattle this evening. So, if I get a chance to do updates, they’ll be pretty late.
I’m not quite sure where this image originated, but it was the only ‘Willys Tattoo’ I could find when I did a search on it (for no particular reason other than curiosity). Everything is backwards, so I’m wondering if it was taken using a mirror.
UPDATE: **Sold**
I have this chrome scattershield I doubt I’ll be using. There weren’t many made, so it is an unusual piece.
UPDATE: This has sold. Was listed at $3500.
There have been a few changes, but looks solid.
“1943 Willy’s MB, VIN# 266242, Date Of Issue 9/22/43

Something seems a little odd with the hood.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2750.
This could use some restoration.
“1946 Willys Jeep # 54716. Clear Florida Title that matches body tag and front frame numbers. It has been garaged while in Florida since 2008. Last ran in 2009and was waiting to be restored. Motor ( 4 cylinder Flat Head) was reportedly rebuilt in the mid 1980s, all gears and drive train appear to be correct and properly operated. It has Lockout Front Hubs and electrical has been converted to 12 volts . It has typical old jeep rust ( some rust through) which can be repaired. Original type seat frames are in great shape but needs covered.
There is a lot of character in this 1946 mid-western Jeep ( I brought it down from Missouri) and would only be appreciated by someone that knows the value of old Jeeps and wants to be a owner of history.”
This is a nice truck.
