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 .
Barry shared this June 1971 Ad from “The Progressive Farmer”. It touts the Jeepster Commando as a “Farm Hand” jeep, a term used as far back as the February 03, 1945, Willys-Overland Ad (at bottom). While off-road capable, I never pictured this model being used regularly as a Farm Jeep (maybe it was?).
From February, 1945:
This looks to be a VEC and a good price.

This is part of an estate sale. It is listed as a 1946, but it looks to be a GPW based on the tool box lids and front crossmember.

“1943 Willys, not running, body could use a little work but is in great shape for it’s age and compared to others I have found. Steering column was changed out for a power steering setup, but may not work. Windshield cracked. No headlights.
I have been told that it has a Buick V6 engine, a 350 Turbo transmission, a stock military transfer case and front end, and a Dana 44 rear.
All tires are bad and must be replaced, so it must be picked up by trailer (Can roll onto trailer with effort).”

This is part of an estate sale, though unclear why the person listing this for sale put the jeep in his/her name.
https://reno.craigslist.org/cto/d/washoe-valley-1946-willys-cj2/7447827577.html
“This is a REBUILT 1946 Willys CJ2 per the title. I have clear title.
This is part of an estate sale, and not my own personal vehicle. I was told that it needs a starter, but it does run outside of that. I am only repeating what I’ve been told by the family. The mileage has not been verified. The Jeep is a cream/tan in color. There is not hard top or soft top and it has been sitting outside exposed to the elements with no cover. I cannot make any statements to how the Jeep or its components runs or operates.
It is your responsibility that either you or your mechanic inspect the vehicle to verify the specifics you are seeking out of this vehicle.
It is located at the estate property in Washoe Valley, NV and can be seen by appointment only. Please message Brandy with multiple times you are available to meet. Upon confirmation of the land owner’s availability, then I will confirm with you a meeting time/date.”
Listed as a CJ-3B windshield, given the lack of a channel, this might have been a DJ-3A convertible windshield.

“Here we have an awesome Jeep FC170 4 wheel drive truck. FC = forward control, like a cab over or COE. The 170 designation is for 170 inch wheel base. Someone started making a tilt/dump bed on the back which you can see in the picture. Realizing I have too many projects, a few of them need to go. Awesome looking little trucks. This is a project, and it does have rust. Come see it for yourself. No engine or transmission. I purchased the truck exactly as you see it. Feel free to ask for more pictures or specific pictures. Open to offers and trades, what do you have?? Text is best, if you call and I don’t answer, text or email me and I’ll get back to you. No voicemails and bad cell service!
Camper shells not included.”
UPDATE: The consensus seems to be that this bolts to the back fo the transfercase like a type of PTO, but no one has recognized it yet.
David picked up this gear box at RFJP’s shop. Anyone recognize it?
I haven’t run across many Schramm generators for sale. I’m not sure how many are left. But, I imagine this booklet could be useful for someone.

“WW II Portable Engine Driven Generator manual. WIllys jeep engine. This one book contains the Operations manual, maintenance manual and parts list. 64 pages total. size is 9″ x 6″. My favorite part is the price list, oil pump were listed for $5.50 for replacement cost while the entire engine block was $49.00! LOL You need this book for your MB/GPW or WWII manual collection.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
Blaine shared this one. It’s not cheap, but it is in its package (with the actual price cutoff for some reason.
“Vintage Tootsietoy Die-cast Turnpike Collector Series. Green Jeep w/trailer.”
Bill shared this Hemmings article that discusses the use of an iPhone as a scanner for car 3D parts. I know that for several years there have been some Willys wagon knobs and other items 3D printed and available for purchase.
But, to take that from a hobbyist endeavor to a commercial scale, with mechanics or parts resellers producing parts with 3D printers in-house is an intriguing idea. Practical? Certainly not now for multiple reasons, but it’s not a stretch to believe that car parts for vintage vehicles will only become more difficult to find. So, I’m hoping that some magnitudinal advances can occur in this arena.
Blaine spotted this Tux Park for sale. Note it still has matching seats. No description provided. p# 408 668 5536

Steve spotted this block. Maybe someone can use it?
“I have for sale a used 1954 6-cylinder Kaiser Darrin 161 CI (2.6L) Willys Hurricane F-head bare cylinder block. It has the main caps and does have some surface rust from sitting. It appears that the cylinders have been bored .020 over as they measure 3.30” from the standard 3.10” bore. Other than a broken exhaust manifold stud just ahead of the #2 exhaust port, this block doesn’t appear to have any issues at all and it has all 4 original main caps and bolts. I would like to get $100 for the block plus shipping if needed. Local pickup would certainly be preferred but I can ship via truck freight.”
UPDATE: Price bumped to $7000.
(05/28/2020) Looks like a reasonable price for this ex-Navy 3B.

“1958 cj3b originally a Navy Jeep. The plate is on the firewall with all the data. Runs excellent, all lights work, heater works. It has the typical rust in all the normal places for an old Jeep. Would make a perfect example restored back to a Navy Shore Patrol Jeep. Will be sold with a bill of sale and the pink slip showing that I paid the taxes on it when I purchased it from the city of Woonsocket in Rhode Island.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
Not sure how much value is here. The seller indicates there is a 3 Point Hitch, but I see no pics of one nor do I see a rear PTO gearbox (maybe seller meant ‘was’ equipped?). It does have something unusual sticking out the back. I can’t make sense of it.

“Very Very Rare.
This 1947 Willys Jeep was used Off Road. It’s equipt with a factory 3 point hitch in the rear and a factory hydraulic ram for a front blade.
The flathead L134 engine is full of water. The spark plugs disappeared
do to water on the cylinder head.
No title, never had a heater, rusty floors. It’s still 6 volt. The hydraulic pump is gone.
A new body is available for $2,400.
Adapters for a 4.3 Chevy are less than $500.
These Jeeps are called Agrijeeps.
This jeep with a new body and rebuilt engine would be worth a great deal.
I will consider offers on the
Ag components. Not cheap! The Willys is very straight and deserves a 2nd chance. Not a ding in it.
It has a bunch of rare parts. The entire front sheet metal is really nice.”
