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: Price dropped to $1500.
(06/09/2010) This looks like an interesting project.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
(05/11/2010) If we had a better pic, I *think* we’d see the upper tool indent visible but the lower one not visible. However, even if that was the case, it appears that though the gas cap is visible, the inlet appears tilted, suggesting it is an aftermarket install. The dashboard suggests it is a MB body (with the glove box). The floor board of the rear is just visible and is flat as expected, rather than having undulations like the CJ-2A. The grille is mb, the passenger fender is mb and the hood is mb. However this does have a CJ-2A windshield. So, this appears to be less stock than I originally thought.
“1942 Willy’s Jeep. Runs good, no rust, super hurricane 6 cylinder engine, new tires. Street legal.”
UPDATE: Still Available
(05/11/2010) This flattie looks good.

A reader ask me about replacing the stock single brake master cylinder, found on many early jeeps, for a dual master cylinder. Can it be done? It turns out there a variety of threads and pages on this alteration. Here are some of the links I found if you are interested in this mod.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500
(03/29/2010) This seems to be missing a few parts …
“All glass is there and good. Tub is in great shape. Other items available for this willys for addition price call for more information.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
(04/01/2010) This looks like a nice jeep.
“RARE… 1953 Willy’s highhood jeep, CJ 3B in good condition. All parts listed below are new within the last two years with very low miles on them: Carb, Paint, Rims, Tires, Fuel, Tank, Exhaust, Brakes. It has a Warn O/D. Jeep runs and looks awesome, has original engine, tranny, axles and t/c. Selling so I can get something fun such as a Sand Rail, Quad, Land Cruiser, Early Bronco or even a 1 Ton 4×4 truck.”
I can’t quite tell, but there might be a rear PTO on this.
“willys jeep cj3b very rough but buildable or for parts and title $600 or resonable off will consider most trades also 5802718526 or call or text anytime. jcchappy@hotmail.com”

“Rare find needs good home!! Great condition. Flat fendered 1947 CJ-2A. Crate Chevy 350 engine, automatic, with very low miles. I have had it for about 5 years, but, have not had the time to use it as planned. Very little rust! Interior lined with Gator Guard. Custom front bumper with winch mount. Rollbar. Has original hardtop and doors. Nice tires and wheels.”
If this has a column shift, it’s a good deal. If it doesn’t, it’s still a pretty good deal.
“1946 Jeep Willy in good condition, needs clutch. Is purple with bench seat in back. Clear Title and is a great buy.”

“Selling a 1967 DKW MUNGA jeep. These jeeps were manufactured by DKW, 1 of the 4 rings of the Auto Union. this car was imported from Europe a few years ago, it has a 1000cc 3 cylinder 2 stroke motor and is 4 wheel drive. the engine was running but was low in power ( and you need all you can out of the 1000cc engine to move the beast!). My mechanic tested it and the seals need to be replaced, i ordered the parts from Europe and they will be included. many in Europe were fitted with Ford V4 engines, Renault 12 engines or Opel 4 cylinder engine for more power. You will surely be the only one on the block with a Munga. Also delivery can be made by plane, they were equipped with a parachuting hook! just in case! selling for $2995, that is less than the shipping and importing fees from Europe, must make room. Thank you for looking, contact me for more photos or info. Happy motoring. John”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5995.
Here’s an unusually stretched CJ-2A.

Nice cage and looks like a reasonable body. I like the bezels on this; they appear to a little different than stock ones.
“No engine or Transmission. Has Dana 44 rear end. body in good shape. Good project vehichle. No Title. I also have a longer (jeep CJ) frame i was gonna use to put it on, if interested.”
http://louisville.craigslist.org/cto/1796503434.html
The seller notes this is “rust free” and has “0 rust”. But, I’m pretty sure surface rust counts as rust?? But if it runs and drives well, it looks like a good price.
“This is a 63 or 64 CJ3B for sale. It has a strong motor that has a rebuilt carb, new tune up, updated electircal,new brakes all around, new oil and brand new windshield. Drives and stops like a jeep tires should be replaced but still can be used for driving around town.

Shifts thru all gears great, 4 wheel drive works high and low. needs front running lights and one right rear. solid RUST FREE jeep!!!!

Based on the pics, I’d have to say this looks very good. I have little doubt this seller has built other jeeps. If someone completes this well, it should look great.
“I have for consideration my 1948 Willys Jeep. This is not your average Jeep for the faint hearted. I have built this from the ground up and have been building and modifying Jeeps for years. This is a brand new body tub from Willys Overland and I have the original tub as well. 400hp fuel injected 302, c4 transmission, dana 20 transfercase, super dana 30 front with eaton electric locker, open dana 44 rear, new rims and tires, and I am sure to forget something in this list. This is not far from being back on the road again. will need exhaust, guages, drivelines, plug wires, fuel tank, and the small stuff. There are alot of accesories that go with this so don’t let this great little project get away. I don’t want to trade for anything, and I am firm on my price. Thanks for looking and your consideration. Mike 918 775 4653”

This looks good and mostly stock. It appears this is missing headlights? Something doesn’t quite look right.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1800.
(02/27/2010) I’m not sure what a “B” motor is. This has some unusual mods.
“1946 WILLYS JEEP HAS B MOTOR RUNS GREAT! FOR INFO CALL”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
These don’t appear very often. I’m not sure how easy, or not, they are to import into the US.
“This is a no-reserve auction for a super rare 1977 Mitsubishi Willys Jeep J54 Diesel right hand drive in Immaculate condition. It has a professionally installed dual tank fuel system which means it can run on diesel or vegetable oil. The system was professionally installed and runs exceptionally well. The Jeep also has new TA’s with less than a 1000 miles. The title is clear and clean. No rips or tears in the seats. No dents or body damage. Runs and drives excellent.

(05/16/2010) These aren’t too common and this one looks nice. I think this is as good of price as you’ll find.
