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 .
It’s not a complete jeep.
“jeep is a project and not complete it is missing a grill, and moter . jeep is also in pieces price is fairly firm but bring a trailer and cash and go home w your new jeep.”

This is a bit high for a project and it is very much a project still.
“hey all. we are raising money for my sons special education costs. so up for sale is our 1946 willys jeep. i bought this about 6 years ago, drove it for approx 80 miles, found the traditional floor rust and promptly pulled it into the garage and started stripping it down. long story short, there is now a brand new tub, primered and ready to paint/install, frame has been undercoated, engine and trans/ pto have been pulled/new gasket kits installed/and put back together, new wiring harness and frame brake lines are ready to go in, as well as a lot of other work thats been done. i know ill never get my time out of it, and currently i have over 5800.00 into it, it is an easy project to finish, so if youre interested in this complete original willys, let me know. thanx. dave.”

This looks like a great price on a pretty original M-38.
“Grampa bought this in 1952 and we got it last year. I was going to make a full restoration but that is just not my passion. It has 41,00 original miles with the original 4 cylinder engine that runs perfect. It has the original metal cab enclosure, original seats that are worn out.

For a jeep with a serial number of 11672, this looks decidedly non VEC ish. It’s certainly not totally stock for that vintage. However, it is a nice looking rebuild.
“1945 Willy’s CJ-2A Civilian Jeep Universal. SN. 11672.This unit is totally stock with the original “Go-Devil” L-Head 4 cylinder 60 HP engine and associated transmission and differentials. The only items that have been upgraded are a full 12V electrical system with battery, starter, alternator, wiring, and all lights and gauges. The windshield wipers have been converted from vacuum to electric for just a bit more dependability. The unit has only recently been completed and even includes a new (only installed and put on twice) Best top and doors. This is an all steel, and, I think, it is all original steel, body. The body was removed from the chasse and all necessary maintenance was performed. The floors are the original and show no signs of rust including the compartment under the passenger seat. Both the underside and the top of the full floor have been stripped down and Rhino Hide coated. The wheels are perfect and carry a new full set of five 600X16 non-directional tread tires. The seats have been redone with the proper upholstery both front and rear. I have had this unit on the highway for a 120 mile round trip at fifty miles per hour and had absolutely no problems.”
I suspect this isn’t a ’41.

The price looks good. This has toyota running gear.
“I have a 1949 Jeep with toyota running gear, runs good. Great rig, selling for $2500.00”

“I still have it if the ad is still posted. This is a 51 Willys CJ3 with an F-head motor. Motor, transmission, transfer case and axles were all rebuilt before I got it. New brakes, hardware, and master cylinder were also installed as well as a new carburetor. The engine has not been started. It has lots of new parts. I don’t have the time for it any more and I want my garage back.”
I *think* this runs, too.

(06/25/2010) It’s a project.
“This posting is for my 1946 jeep willys cj 2a.I bought tihs jeep about 4 years ago as a fun project and never finished it but is almost there.It has a 50s modle cj 3b motor in it and it runs fine.The new things are the wiring harness,steering box,windsheild gaskets minus the glass and gas tank.The rear floor has been replaced with dimond plate and I have fliped the axles to give it a moderate lift about 4 in.This jeep would be perfect for that hunting cabin,offroad,or just to cruise around town in.The brakes are all there but dont work I think they just need to bee hooked up.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(04/17/2010) How about those tires? I have never before seen those tires.
“1951 4 wheel drive Willy’s Jeep. Has a 327 V-8 with a high compression Air Research turbo, 2 speed power glide transmission with Teflon bands (built for racing), Also has a 3000 rpm stall converter.

A reader named Steve had some questions about which I didn’t have answers:
He asked me to post two questions for two different projects:
1) What would be the easiest/best/smartest engine swap for an F134 in a 1947 W-O Truck?
2) What chassis swaps are recommended to modernize a 1952 W-O Station Wagon?
Thanks!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3850.
The price looks a bit high on this project.
“1943 Ford Army Jeep GPW; runs, body rough, has all matching numbers; Wilsall is 30 miles north of Bozeman and I can deliver”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700.
I can agree with the seller on at least one point: this jeep is probably not restorable to show quality. However, this looks more like a post WWII CJ rather than a WWII jeep.
“This is a 1942 willys jeep. It was a military service jeep during WWII. It probably is beyond restoring to show quality, but it could be fixed up to run again pretty easily. Very simple machines, but very tough 4×4’s, these things will go. I got this as boot in a trade as is so Im selling it as is. I do know that it doesnt have the original engine, but that it has a later model willys engine in it. They cut a hole in the hood to allow clearance for the new engines carb. IT DOES NOT RUN, BUT I WAS TOLD IT WAS RUNNING WHEN PARKED. I think it needs a starter. I just dragged it up on a trailer and brought it home and trying to sell it. Would be a great parts jeep. Will consider any reasonable offer or trade.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This doesn’t look in horrible shape, but it also doesn’t look like it has moved in a while. It appears to have a warn, or equivalent, winch on the front of it.
“1944 millitary jeep $2000”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I don’t see any obvious rust on this.
“1957 willeys jeep Fc 170. Needs some work. I do not have time to restore this truck. Parts on this are all orginal.”
The body on this appears solid. I don’t see any pics of the parts wagon.
“I have up fpr sale a 1950 willys wagon 4×4 and also have one for parts that is also 4×4 but is not complete the one that is complete runs good and the 4×4 works good the brakes will need going threw they do not work $ 1995.00 obo call for more info 479-970-1245”

It sounds like there’s been some good drive train work. The price looks good.
“Hello! You are looking at a 1960 Willy’s Jeep Truck. This Jeep has a V-6 Chevy motor, rebuilt drive train, new brakes and brake lines, and U-joint. It has a rebuilt transmission and transfer case. It also has new bearings in the front and rear axels as well as new tires. (see picture) It has electrip wiper conversion and a solid chassis and drive train.

UPDATE: Tom noted that this is no longer on KSL’s Website (and I confirmed it). I can only assume it sold, but that seems like a pretty quick sale given (only listed one day) the price.
Brett found this mostly stock CJ-3A.
“Completely Rebuilt inside and out. To many extras to list. Very Clean”
I think the seller knows very little about this.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
It’s got a nice top and runs, but has some rust issues.
“1952 willys, all orignal except for 12 volt system. has the 134 f head 4 banger that I have running it will drive around, but the brakes need to be worked on. there is bad rust on the passenger and drivers side floor boards. outside the body is in ok shape a dent here and there. 2 of the tires leak down every day or so from dryrot. bottom line is it needs work to drive. call with questions I don’t reply to emails”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
I’m not sure I’ve seen that model of soft top. The side windows angle and the back area (can’t tell if there is a back or not) is pretty wide open. This looks like it a ‘lefty’ to me.
“Up for sale is this 1948 CJ5,4X4 willys jeep, as you see the Jeep is clean and has been in the family many yrs, it has been well taken care of and runs great, new tires and wheels, very dependable, it is a daily driver, with a clear title…. I will take 4000 OBO………… hit me up if you interested”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $700
Here’s a rough CJ-3B.
“I have a 1953 CJ3B that needs a new home. It does not run, but everything is there. The body is not perfect, but it is far better than what you will usually find for this price. Take a look at the pictures and email or call if you have any questions.
Have clear title in hand for this vehicle. Bring your trailer and take it home with you tonight! Vehicle is located in Grass Valley. Asking $10,000 but will take $700! Don’t ask me to take less… it is well worth this price with the title. Tom.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a reasonable price, though I see a bit of rust along parts of the body. The top looks in very good condition. I can’t see if this is a VEC or not.
“Theis is a 1946 Willys Jeep with a 3 speed on the column. It is very rare! It has the original 4-cylinder flat head motor in it. The motor has been rebuilt and the transmission and transfer care have been checked. A new clutch was put in when the motor was rebuilt. It has new exaust and it also has new front and rear end.”
