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 .

This includes a rear PTO.

“Selling a 1949 CJ2A, the Jeep overall runs and drives good. Previous owner swapped in narrowed Chevy 1/2ton axles with NO brakes. The motor, trans, and tcase are all in good condition, i rebuilt the carb, flushed and inspected both trans and tcase. Motor has new plugs cap, rotor and wires. Previous owner did the 12v conversion, i installed a new battery and custom 12v starter. The jeep has a custom fuel cell and electric fuel pump. The Jeep’s interior body does have rust but the floors are still there with some extra patch plates from the p/o. Exterior body has 1 or 2 minor rust spots and was covered in bondo by the previous owner, most of the bondo is chipping off the drivers and passenger side. This would be a great offroad vehicle for RYC or your property.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8900.

It appears almost the entire rear passenger side has been cut out. I suspect the driver’s side is the same.
“Fiberglass Jeep tub – will fit early Jeep (flat fender models) CJ2A, CJ3A or MB. This tub is used, has some holes drilled in it, and some cracks in the rear portion.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3800.
My only experience with a 400 was the one dad installed in our motorhome. That motor easily moved the motorhome along with a trailer with my on the back of it. I can only imagine that much power in the jeep itself!
“This a nice jeep, we have owned it for about thirty years, it has a 400 SB chev eng. runs great, only selling because we don,t use it anymore.”
This looks like a good price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800
There appears to be a PTO and various parts. I can’t tell what all is here.

(05/26/2010) The body looks solid, though someone altered (hacked) the driver’s side entrance.
“for sale 1943 jeep ,runs , lots of spare parts, needs new home in country , mechanic owner desired, 2,000 firm .only serious buyers,”
This sold for $2750 on eBay.
“This is a 1947 Willys army jeep. It has been in my family since I was a child. I rescued it from my Aunts yard a few years ago and rebuilt it. It is in pretty solid shape, and runs well. It has been driven lately in parades. It has a little overhead cam motor from a 70s vintage Ford Pinto, and it has rack and pinion steering from something. It has a chevy camaro charging system and a radiator I found in a boneyard that fit. The four wheel drive all works, and it has warn lockouts up front. The seats came out of an S-10 I believe. Basically it is a fun little car that rumor has it that my Uncle bought as army surplus cut in half and he assembled it. My Aunt drove it daily for years. I never use it and it is taking up space. Hopefully somebody would like to use it or restore it, or even modify it. It comes with no guarantees, or returns. It can be picked up or shipped but I will have to see what that costs and I will ship it after I receive all monies. I will try to answer any questions I can. Oh, the brakes need to be bled, but a few pedal pumps and it is driveable. It has a hitch on the front so it can be towed, and the tires are new.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8995
(06/16/09) This looks very nice. If memory serves me correctly, this is the first flattie I’ve come across for sale from North Dakota.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
HOG spotted this one. I looked back in my posts for this CJ-3B, but it doesn’t appear to be there. I’m sure it’s all good, but just in case … the seller buys the jeep for the dad from cali and now is selling for the mom, except the title was never transferred from cali, so wouldn’t the seller actually be selling it for himself as the signer on the old title? Finally, the serial number of #4J37357 is incorrect, so I’d investigate that as well.
“I bought this Jeep for my Dad back in March 2010…He has since past away and I have no need of another Jeep, So I am selling this for my Mom. It is a 1954 Willys CJ3B that has had some modifications done to it over the years…. There is nothing wrong with the jeep it runs and drives fine…..Someone has taken chrome diamond plate and made a dash for it with all the gagues and added a Tachometer……It has a Tow bar and high lift jack that come with it……..If you are going to drive it on the highway the tires will need to be balanced and at some point it will need tires…The motor is a 260 Ford V8 with dual exhaust and starts and runs great…..Brakes all work good…..Transmission and overdrive shift fine…..All gauges work…Has a complete soft top with doors and a roll bar…… Seats are not torn but do not match in color…..The front end and steering box are out of a later mdel Jeep and all the 4 wheel drive works fine….It has two gas tanks,but only one is hooked up….There is no rust on the Jeep the floors panels are solid and rust free has a few minor digs in the hood and body, but nothig major……Tail gate has been replaced with solid panel…..Someone has added leafs to the spring and a set of Air shocks in the rear……I have a low reserve on this Jeep in order to sell quickly,it’s worth much more than the reserve price….It has a clear transferable California title………Ask questions before bidding…Sold as is…I can store for 6 months with payment made in full…. If you are serious about it I can e-mail more pictures.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2750 … it appears this was SOLD
“This little sucker is COOL, with a capital K! This is a running registered and stopping Willys Jeep FC-150. Rare little gem that she is, she is the last car I want to sell of the many cars I will be selling to meet this months mortgage, so the price is more than I think it would probably sell for locally unless it went on ebay, but I really dont want to sell it. It does have bad rear cab sorners, and some rust in the floor of the bed, and some at the flat floor areas and door corners etc, but overall is really really cool. I wouldn’t do a dan g thing to her except tinker and drive. She is a blast to drive around town, though she isnt super fast do to really low gears , and the anemic 134? 4 banger. Shoot me offers, but keep in mind I really want to keep it, so I am going to try an sell the others cars cheap first. Willy’s or Willys works also.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
