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 $7000.
Needs some work still.
“1942 WWII Jeep. Ford Stamped. Rebuilt motor and transmission, brakes. Body needs work. Strong motor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
The seller believes this has NOT been restored. It appears in good condition.
“Never restored original. Good Shape. Driven regulary in the summer. have soft top with doors and various extra parts. Serious inquiries only by phone. No emails. $4800”
This is interesting. It’s a CJ-2A being sold as a 1947, but has a serial number of 28367, which means it should have the tool indents as well. It could mean the body is a replacement or something else. Or, someone has melded a couple jeeps together.
“The CJ2A is the civilian version of the famous WWII Jeep (known as the MB) from which the term “Jeep” was coined. Of course, there were no new vehicles available during the war, so the civilian versions were first produced in July of 1945 (2 months after V-E day and 1 month *before* V-J day!), As far as Jeeps go though, this body style is the absolute earliest a civilian could purchase.
As you can see, this particular CJ2A has been painted in military colors, and is equipped with military tires. pristine, restored examples. This particular jeep has obviously been hacked on over the years, although sometimes its hard to tell wether something has been altered somewhere along the line or if its just 1940s technology.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4950.
It’s not quite finished, but appears solid.
“Selling 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. This is an early civilian Jeep made to look similar to a military style. It has a rebuilt original “Go-Devil” engine. The transmission and transfer case have also been rebuilt. The Jeep has a working rear PTO winch. The radiator has been completely redone including the shroud. Additionally, the original Carter WO carb is in the process of being restored and rebuilt. It has been converted to 12V. The Jeep runs great and looks decent enough for parades, cruises, etc. Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. $4950″
UPDATE: **SOLD** for $10,500
“This is a Willys Jeep pickup used exclusively for a Fire Department brush fire response vehicle. It spent it’s life garaged, warm and clean. Because of this it has no rust and 29K original miles. It is BETTER than a frame-up restoration, because it hasn’t yet gotten to the point of needing restoring. It is still a fun, reliable, licensed and inspected daily driver in the mechanical condition of any truck with 29K miles. Of course, there are the added perks of a loud siren and flashing lights if you want to be noticed even more. I have owned it for five years (bought it directly from the fire company) and would be happy to keep it, but like many people, I have growing cash flow problems, so I have to take a cold look at my priorities. It is time to sell. I have set a fair and reasonable reserve for the quality of this antique. It is located near Binghamton, NY and you could drive it home if you wanted, but it would be a crime to run up needless mileage and wear. A flat bed trailer would be best, or hire a car hauler. This is a 50 year old antique, so naturally there is no warranty. Sold as-is, where-is. Try to get your questions in well before the auction ends so I have time to answer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
“Camo painted jeep with good engine and drive train. Body in good condition for age. I have new gas tank that needs to be installed. Leak in brake lines need repair. The second Jeep, a 1940’s willys military MB is a parts jeep with frozen engine, good body parts, trans and rearend. Both jeeps go for just $2500. Please, no trades, cash sale only.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
“1953 CJ3-A Willy’s Jeep. 42″ swampers, Rebuilt 400 Dodge big block, 727 auto tranny, 203 tranfercase. 90% done needs some work, but runs and drives. $2000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay for $549.
“Up for auction is a rare Hamilton Jeep peddle car from the 1950’s. I cannot find a name anywhere on it but I found it listed Evolution of the Pedal Car volume 5. As you can see in the pictures it has been repainted and wheels put on. Buyer to pay all shipping charges. I can arrange shipping but it is to large to ship UPS so it will have to shipped freight. I will box it up and put it on a pallet to make sure it does not get damaged. I accept cash upon local pick up, credit cards and Paypal. Check out my other items!”
UPDATE: Hog (and I) wondered if this price wasn’t a little high .. but then He spotted these two ebay prices. Price 1 ($1900). Price 2 ($1200)
Brian spotted this fun looking toy.

Dexter is pretty excited about this find! No bad mods, though there appear to be a few things that need to be changed to make it closer to original. He should get an excellent stock MB out of it with some time. Below are a few pics and here are many, many pics. You can see a discussion about his find at the G503 site. Congrats Dexter!
From the scrapbook archives comes this image of Dad and I readying ourselves for another day of jeeping. I believe this was in 1982 (which would make me 17 and dad 49). I remember the overnight at Milk Lake because we slept in the lean-to (see the blue tarp in the background), which was the first time I can remember doing that.
In the pics you can see the aluminum storage units with some supplies in them. Dad built those from Boeing Surplus leftovers, rivets and a rivet gun. They were light, easy to pack, and stored over the wheel wells, between the roll cage bars, so they were accessible on the trail as well.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600
“Need to sell this project to help pay for another. No motor, trans, or transfer case, but you wouldn’t use the stock ones anyways. This does have a full soft top that is in good condition. Saginaw power steering, has been totally rewired and all the guages worked before the motor blew up. Bucket seats with a rear seat that has a built in tool box. Bobcat fiberglass hood for extra carb room. Rancho 5000 shocks, stock axles. Washington title with collector plate. Ready to build into whatever you want it to be. Can deliver if in the area”
This looks solid .. it might be a good deal.
“I am selling this 1955 Jeep Willys. the model is a CJ38. It has set for several years not running. The motor will turn. Lots of original parts. I just dont have the time or knowledge to get this thing running. Let me know what you have to trade if you dont have cash. I have a clear title in hand! Thanks. Ben 812 593 8931.”

That’s a crazy rollbar.
“This is a 1946 Willys jeep, the motor does not run. The motor has not ran for 8 years, and does not have any spark plugs in it. The jeep was running 8 years ago, it was parked in a barn for 5 years, and has been outside for 3 years. It has been owned by the same person for 21 years. This is a perfect project jeep, if I had the time I would buy it myself. The jeep cannot be towed away, it will have to be pulled away with a trailer. Any questions call 614-206-5254, I do not check e-mail often please use phone number. I have more pictures I can e-mail if you call me. ”

Shep spotted this truck on a Ford Chassis.
“Good condition, stock body, Ford drive train and engine. Musical horns that play “Dixie” Extra body parts.”
UPDATE: Dexter confirms that the seller is correct; it is a slatgrille. However, it isn’t a GPW and it has the wrong grille. That threw me off. Dexter says the G503 site discussed this.
“I have a 1941 Ford GPW ( Ford made Willys MB). It has a lot of Slat Grill parts left on it and I verified this through G503.com a few years back. This Jeep is a little bit beyond my knowledge and experience for restoration but no doubt saveable. It has typical floor rust and will need a new pan. Its solid enough to stand on though. Has a CJ engine that ran and drove before I started tearing it down and it still cranks if you hook up a battery. The rear end grenaded before I got it but it is Ford stamped. I’m slowly working on restoring it to a condition of one used in the field and will continue to but I don ‘t think I can do it justice. Its a Slat grill and should be restored by someone with more experience. Its got some typical “bubba” mods and additions but Ive already removed most of the hard stuff.”

This might be worth a closer look.
“1949? Willys CJ2A. pretty much complete, has not ran in a while, but it turns over nicely. all stock. pto winch, tow bar, soft top. floors and tub sides have had the rust cut out and new metal welded in. not perfect, but very functional. great 16″ traction tires. NO title. I have checked Oregon, Washington, Cali, Idaho, and Nevada, and there are no records on this rig. It obviously has not been titled in a long time. Forms required by Oregon dmv from these states are available online. complete and send in as part of the title process.”
