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: Was $2000. Status Unknown.
Doesn’t run at the moment (battery dead).
“All original & complete, good shape. good seats, metal top, chains & snow plow. Parked last 4 years, motor turns over, has dead battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/27/2010) This looks pretty good for the price. It includes a rear PTO. I’m guessing it runs …
“FOR SALE or trade 1953 Willy’s CJ-3B, rare option bench seat and rear PTO Winch, would like to trade for 660 Grizzly or 500 Polaris, may consider other utility 4×4”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
(06/27/2010) It looks like the driver’s side of the body has been patched.
“1949 Willys CJ-3A 4×4 4cyl, roll bar NO tops, good shape, runs great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Auctioned.
There are a couple interesting issues with this CJ-3B. First, note the unusual windshield, which almost appears chopped down. Second, note the fenders; These just don’t look quite right. I’m even wondering if they are plywood?
The image below does provide a pretty good shot of that left front frame rail and it looks pretty clean, suggesting the frame is in really good shape. The body also looks pretty straight, which adds to my confusion about the fenders.
As part of the ongoing series on jeeps tipped on their sides for repair, a reader named Warren reports that the first episode, season 1, 14:51 minutes into the show of the Rat Patrol features a brief view of one of the characters working on a Jeep on its side. I don’t have a copy of the video, but here is a snapshot courtesy of Warren.
Of all the things I’ve seen done to a jeep, I can’t say I have ever seen a jeep dressed with astroturf (or carpet of any kind). For the record, this is an All Wheel Drive Russian Niva. See all the pics on here:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500
This has a fiberglass body and a variety of updates.
“- Body off restoration 1946 Willys Jeep – 600km since restoration – Fiberglass body – Dana 44’s on 33 inch wheels. Too many features to list. Please contact for details and be sure to view attached photos. Please note: I am willing to trade for a Harley Davidson.”
I’m not sure how rare these are in Canada, but I suspect they are as rare there as they are in the U.S.
“1980 J54 (CJ3B Willys Jeep) made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, 4RD5 Diesel, Dana drive train, rear LSD. 250 337 5352”

The rear driver’s corner sure looks awfully square. It has some classic metal rims.
“Willys CJ2A—48 or 49 ? no VIN , engine or trans, had a 4 cylinder Chev motor,—-still has lots of useable parts, full floating rear axle, front dif, steering etc–good for parts or project—hunting, boonie bashing etc —it needs lots of work thats why its $ 500”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100. Has a Kelly hardtop.
I’m not sure how many CJ-6s there are in Canada, so this might be a pretty rare vehicle.
“1964 Willys CJ6 has swapped in 302 engine. It’s complete but needs work, not drivable.
Fors 302 with T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer-case with warn overdrive. Has old metal hard top and doors. Front bench seat no rear seats. Includes spare CJ6 frame with diffs and a F-head engine also have another complete F head. This jeep has valid BC registration.”
This looks like a good price on a solid CJ-2A.

This was an M-38A1 .. not sure what I’d call it now.

“restoration project just out of storage. body and frame in new origional condition. jeep is sold without electrical system and powertrain. must see to appreciate, looks like it was removed from the assembly line in 1952! no rust now or ever”
I’m not quite sure how, but I stumbled upon this pink wagon from the Haxadecimal.com site which was listed on ebay in 2006. This is one of a wide variety of unusual vehicles you can find at that site.
This sure looks like a good price.
“53 willy. Needs good home”

There might be some value here.
