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 .
Has lots of updates.

“For sale is 1946 Willys CJ-2A serial number 94602. The jeep retains all of its factory frame and body tags as well as the original engine and drivetrain. The jeep has a valid NC title, the engine turns over freely and the trans and tcase shift through the gears properly. The body is in good shape overall for its age, saved by the top and being stored indoors. The areas that need attention are shown in the photos. This 2A is a wonderful example of a survivor and will make someone a great driver and/or restoration project.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $11,000.

“Rare 1946 column shift Cj2a. Runs good but does not have brakes that work. The front floor has been replaced. It’s a number matching frame horn, firewall tag and title. Great rare Willys to restore. These are hard to find”
This is still a project.

“1963 keep fleetvan fj6a for sale $11,000 obo. Lots of recent work. Still a project but very close to a daily driver. Needs rear main seal on engine replaced, I bought the good neoprene one but haven’t had it installed and timing dialed in. Needs the rest door plywood replaced. Vent on roof leaks and needs resealed. Some of the things I have done are new drums, shoes, springs, cylinders on brakes. New fuel tank, float, lines, carb. New battery, heater core, heat ducts, heater valve, belts and hoses. Tranny rebuilt. New alternator, guages.”
Apparently, the top wasn’t chopped like I previously thought? After looking at this top for comparison http://www.ewillys.com/2020/09/02/meyer-cj-6-hardtop-livingston-mt-1500/, it still looks a little chopped?
If the body is in good shape, this may be worth the price. This is only for the body and hardtop.

This former Army Corps of Engineers Wausau Iron Works plow is cool. It was shared on G503. You can see a brochure for the plow here.

John’s mother purchased this plastic M-38A1 toy for him in the 1960s for $.79. He was surprised to learn that it was still being made and sold, though the price is now $17.90:

You can also buy it on a certain online store. I won’t mention them…they have enough money.
As I recall, I eventually got the gun out and painted it white. It’s just a coincidence that 30 years later I bought a very nice restored stock CJ-5, it was also white.
Anyway, I’ll probably pick one up and give it to the shop that is restoring my A1. If I can find a flexible blue paint, I may even paint one in USAF blue like mine.
The buy-it-now price is $55. I’m sure it’s a rare one; I’ve never seen another copy. It looks to be around 20 pages(?).

“Up for auction is an incredibly rare very early Jeep collectible: a 1956 Jeepers Jamboree booklet in excellent condition! The booklet talks about the drive through from Lake Tahoe via Georgetown. I’ve looked online and these are extremely rare and I only found a couple other examples and none close to this old. This is truly a one-of-a-kind Jeep item.”
These are two separate auctions, both involving the Mile High Jeep Club.
TJ shared this unusual-bodied jeep. It certainly could be an MB.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3064870103786809
“Custom built body on Willys Jeep frame with Willys MB block with matching head. Check photos. No Title. Not running. Have tons of parts.Great and unique project. Lots of time and money. Shoot me an offer. Feel free to ask questions”
Not too surprising, the cost of shipping ($16.10) is more than the initial bid price ($10).
“Listed is a rare #294 of 1000 Limited edition smoke stack brick from Willys Overland Jeep Chrysler headquarters in Toledo, Ohio. for those that don’t know. Willys Overland was known for their triple smoke stacks. This is number 294 of the 1000 bricks that were kept and auctioned off to help their local boy scout troop years ago when they knocked down the infamous stacks to build a bigger factory to build the new 4 door Jeep Wranglers. It’s a rare item! TY for looking!”
Here’s a collection of jeep pens and pencils. There’s one Willys Overland Motors pencil, too.

Here’s a video of a drive in a rusted CJ-2A. The driver made a few minor mistakes in describing it. At least he had fun driving it.
Marty shared this customized CJ-6. He confirmed this was built in Pennsylvania. Both rear axles are drive axles, though one new carrier bearing is needed. The large side windows suggest the Meyer hardtop was modified, too.

“his is a 74 CJ5 extended to include a third axle. Runs rough at the moment but drives amazingly well. It is powered by a 79 small block 350 which makes this Jeep scream down the road. Very well built all original look steel interior and exterior no fiberglass. Has a stretched and modified steel hard top wrapped in vinyl and a steel half cap included but not in great shape. Also includes the tan bikini top for warmer driving. In the opinion of mine and others (mechanics) this is a very well built rig and can be left as is with minor work and still a one of one head turner in the world!! Needs a carrier bearing on the mid axle rebuilt to drive the rear axle and with that is a live three axle Jeep. Will consider trading for; Scouts, Range Rover, Land Rover, Land cruisers 43,45,or 47 Ford Bronco, Jeep CJ6, CJ8-Scrambler, pretty much anything old cool and definitely 4×4!”
Not sure what the shipping would cost, but at least one of these drives.

Ted’s got this Monroe 3-point hitch. He also has some housings and other pro parts.
“Up for sale or possible trade is a Willys Jeep Monroe Three Point Hitch or Hydraulic Lift Assembly. This is the last of a large collection of lifts that I’ve liquidated. This Monroe setup is in overall very decent condition for its age and mostly complete with the exception of the one small rear housing mount ( which I might be able to source by the time of a sale or trade) and the hydraulic lines which all guys usually have made new at any hydraulic line shop or even most Napa’s will make you new lines. All the other components of a Monroe lift are present including a few of the super hard parts to find like the original crank shaft driven pump and mount , center link and adjustment Plates.
I was lucky enough to find an original under body mount for these lifts and I had a few made from a Machinest friend of mine which will be included with all hardware to mount. Control Valve and tank assembly included as well as Monroe Lift housing with original ram ( all mounting tabs perfect) , leveling link, lift rods ,left and right lower lift arms, rear draw bar mounts etc. I will also include a copy of the master parts list for a Monroe lift Assembly and a link to an original Monroe operation and care Manual.
I have a few extra housings that may be available as well but no other extra small parts. Feel free to call or text with any questions or specific pic requests. I have sold four of these units recently all within the $2500-$3000 range depending on condition and completeness if lift.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $19,900.
This looks in good shape.

“Power steering power brakes updated pedals and steering column original engine and running gear best top and doors custom bumpers and winch 34 inch Super Swampers axle under springs lift this would be a awesome vehicle for someone with a lot of property because the chances of getting it stuck are small was appraised for 20,000 make a reasonable offer”
This seller has posted this convertible DJ-3A in several places on Facebook, asking questions about what it is, etc. My answers too the question of ‘what it is’ resulted in at least one commenter referring to me as an “idiot” (or something similar; I can’t remember the exact word) for not knowing what I was talking about ….. Ah, yes, the cesspool the FB can be. To the commenters credit, after politely calling out the author of that witticism, he did take the time to apologize. But, still …
With that in mind, I am surprised the seller is claiming this is an “all original” DJ-3A, instead of labeling it, as I explained several times to him, a DJ-3A convertible that’s been modified with four wheel drive.
“All original Willy’s dj3a solid frame passenger floor pan has some rust. Engine turns over and has spark and compression. Very rare jeep. Only 2,510 of them made in 1956”
