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 $1200.
I don’t see indents, but it has a column shift. The SN# 10928.
“1945 Willys Jeep with snow plow; Runs OK but Drives poor, needs to be completely restored, not road worthy. 4X4 works. This is an early column shift Willys. Production number is 10928, this willys will be worth more once restored because of the low number. Comes with some new steering parts that need to be installed. Michigan title.”
It runs and includes a plow. The hardtop looks in good shape too.
“1961 Willys / CJ Jeep – 4 speed manual transmission, factory 4 cyl. eng., mileage unknown.
Runs but not well, might need a carb rebuild / tune or something, As you see it is how I bought it, I bought last year to use as plow truck for my property but am sick of tinkering with it I just dont know enough to fix it. Has Factory plow set up on it (works), the engine does not knock, has newer clutch, tires are ok, 4wd works, transmission seems good.
Interior is pretty much gone, body has rust, not the prettiest thing but parts wise and mechanically there is alot of good value here. It needs brakes, battery, radiator, maybe carb rebuild, knowledge and some time. Would be great for parts or with effort a good plow truck
Email me for contact info or any questions, thanks.”

I’m not sure there is much value here.
“Was running in 2009. Wouldnt take much to get it going i dont think. This is how i bought it and I just dont have time to mess with it. The starter is off so that needs to be put back on and it needs a battery. I do not have the title. $750 obo. Call or text, text is preferred but you can also email”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
The color scheme and signage is unusual (in a good way I think).
“This 1960 Willys Jeep has only 16,000 miles on it. It is a 6 cylinder. The outside has some rust around the back corners of the cab. The interior is like new. It needs some work — the starter needs to be rebuilt or replaced and the brakes need some work. We have the original owner’s manual and service manual.”
UPDATE: Was on eBay. **SOLD**
“1947 Willy’s CJ2A with Original Bantam trailer model T3-C serial # 6147. This Willy’s was purchased in Wisconsin after a frame off restoration approximately 100 miles ago. Always garaged, orig. tub, no floor rust, 12 volt conversion, solid frame. Engine is fantastic, starts everytime, little/no smoke. After months of winter storage no signs of oil leaks! Extras include a complete CJ2A frame, skid plate windshield canvas, (for transport), transfer case, PTO shifter. This Willy’s needs nothing other than a bath, I will post more pics after I clean her up. Bantam trailer is very cool, primed and ready to paint. Frame is in excellent condition, shackles are great! I think this is the original coupler, (fulton) I have lights and reflectors, as well as the original data plate. The serial numbers on the frame match the Cj2A body.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900

“Tub, frame, tranny and axles. Hood and fenders are cut. She was a mud racer in a previous life. Could be again!! Make an offer 816 205 0775”
To call this “All original” seems a stretch. It sounds like this runs.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $700
(01/05/2011) Bob forwarded this ad. It has no motor or trans, but does have a S-10 sub-frame.
“This is a 1950 Willys Jeepster it is a project no engine or trans. It does have a Chevy S-10 front subframe on it already and a mopar rear end. I have the bows for the top, windshield frame and other parts under canvas. There is a rust hole on the passenger front corner that I have a patch for off another Jeepster . For better pics go to Buzzysrods.com look under cars for sale. Call Jeff 307-575-2626”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1700
(01/05/2011) This appears to be a lefty at first glance, but I can just make out the bow holders on the driver’s side. Also, I was able to lighten up the passenger side and I see no indication there were bow holders on that side, but it does appear their was a spare tire holder there. I suspect the corner is weak or rusted.

From Craig’s (from thefcconnection) never ending collection of unusual Jeep images comes this rare shot of the San Juan Scenic Jeep Tour Wagon convertibles. Jesse forwarded this image to me along with a snapshot of an uncompleted transformation of a Wagon the company had partly modified. You can see the earlier San Juan post here.
Technically, it was Dave Beamis who was modifying the wagon. He worked for San Juan Tours years ago. Dave would go on to start Crystal River Tours and his son, Dave Beamis, started and runs Crystal River Lodge with his brother.
Jesse reports, “all of the Scenic and Crystal River Tours FCs and Wagon Jeeps were repowered while in service, because of the altitude and amount of weight of the passengers, they removed the flathead Hurricane 6 and replaced it with the Chevy 250 or 292 inline 6 engines, with an adapter.”
Here’s the picture from Craig:
From Jesse is the image of an in-progress convertible wagon. Jesse notes, “this a picture of another wagon body that I bought. It was there, it was cut, but never hammer welded to be finished, Dennis said that when one was wrecked they would have extra bodies to replace on the running chassis. Notice this was on a 4×2 frame.”
This might make a good project if the engine is ready for assembly. The Az weather has probably preserved the boy pretty well.
“great resto project. engine was machined by napa, needs to be assembled. seats need recovering. will make an awesome crawler or hunting jeep. have title on hand. call 928-627-2407 after 6pm. or email.”

This is a real nice rig with custom suspension and more. You can’t build it for that price. If I remember correctly, the previous owner sold it after building a new jeep. I believe the front end was stretched 12 inches as well. I remember that because I was curious about how far to stretch my front clip, so i saved an image of it, which you can see at the very bottom.
“47 Willy’s CJ2A Trail Jeep SBC 350, Holley 650, Flex-o-Lite Fan, Modified Camaro Radiator, Cyclone Headers, Toploader 4 Speed with Kettleson Adapter, Wide Ratio 2.78 low gear, Automotive Friction Ceramic Disk Clutch, Lakewood Scatter Shield, Spicer 20 Twin Lever Transfer Case, Spicer U-joints, Spicer 44 Rear End with Sommers Bro’s Spool -30 spline Moser Floater Axle’s with Ford Spindle’s, Dana 40 Front with Spicer wheeling hubs, 1970 Bronco Style Axle’s, Open Carrier. 4:88 Ratio.

Here’s an image of the same jeep 2 years earlier.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
“I have a 1954 CJ3B jeep for sale. It is in parts, not a running jeep. Does not include motor, trans, or transfer case. I have two frames, the stock frame and a 1992 YJ rolling frame that I was going to install under this jeep. The body is not too bad, it has some rust through on the floor under the gas tank, it’s not very bad and very much so repairable. This would make a fun rebuild/restoration project or a parts jeep.”
UPDATE: An eWillys reader snagged this deal! Was listed at $900.
(04/11/2010) It runs.
“1956 cj6, 4 cyl.runs.needs work.for sale or trade for farm eqpt of equal value such as rotiller,three point disk,grain drill or what have you.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s an interesting find. This builder installed a Mercruiser 470 4 cyl aluminum engine into his project jeep. I’d never heard of doing this, so I did some research and found this thread on HAMB that provides all kinds of details about converting this boat motor to a vehicle motor. I’ve emailed the seller of this to learn more, as the motor is just the kind of strange thing I’d like to install into Biscuit if everything checks out.
“Too many projects, so this one has to go. It is a 1957 Willys CJ5. It has an aluminum block Mercruiser 470 4 cylinder motor and a 4spd transmission. It has a Dana 44 front axle and a Dana 60 rear axle. It comes with an original hard top with doors as well as a tow bar. The syncro for the reverse has gone out in it, but that is a fairly easy fix for anyone with some mechanical aptitude. It has a new battery and a fresh rebuilt Carter AFB carb. The tires shown are not the tires that come with it, as those are actually my brothers. Asking $1,500 but will consider reasonable offers. I just don’t have a place to finish it like I want to, so I’m looking for a good home for it. I have a clean and clear idaho title for it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $25,000.
It looks good. Dana 60s seem a bit of an overkill for a Buick V6.
“Jeep “Custom” from the ground up! Dana 60s front and Rear, ARB Air Locker up front, Power Lock in rear High Pinion with 4:56 gears, 18 gallon heavy duty rear gas tank with bilt in skid plate, Spring over suspension, Buick 231 Even Fire V6, T98 Granny Gear 4 Speed, Dana 20 Transfercase with 3 to 1 gears and factory Twin Stick Shifters, Warn Winch, Goodyear MTR Wranger Tires 35 x 1250 X 15, Best Top New, Half Top and Doors, Matching Jeep Trailer, Lots of fun”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Unclear what new parts come with it.
“1945MB willys jeep partly restored lots new parts call”
UPDATE: This has likely sold. Was listed at $250.
This looks like a good price.
“For sale is one 47 CJ2 parts car,Rolling chassie no engine or trans-transfer case.Has wheels, axles,gauges,radiator,new half floors in front. Needs drive train ,brakes,inner windshield,wireing. $250.00 Cash”
This is still a project, but now sports a fiberglass body and rebuilt engine.
“1951 Willys for Sale. This Willys restoration is nearly finished and includes a FIBERGLASS BODY,, rebuilt engine and complete restoration. Includes original Willys flat head 4 cylinder and original drive train. The Willys is 4 wheel drive. Finishing touches to make this complete include mounting hood, riser for hood and engine diagnosis (has not been started after engine rebuild). Great project for the winter! Thanks for looking! Bob (484) 433-0065.”

UPDATE: **SOLD*** to an eWillys reader.
(05/31/09) Looks nice enough.
“Willys 1946 CJ2A, rare early, column shift, excellent condition, mechanically sound, body needs paint, everything works, fun to drive.”
UPDATE: Was listed at $2800
(01/04/2011) This might be a nice rig for the price.
“this is a mostly orginal willys jeep, has been updated to 12V, has rebiult engine great heater and newly recovered seats, new soft top, new root beer brown purle paint, 32×11.50 tires. runs and drives great.”
