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: **SOLD** Was $7000.

Here’s an early slat grille for auction. These don’t appear often. At this point, the price is already $600 +. Someone had the cojones to offer only $100 for this (see the questions at the bottom of the auction page).
“Original TR-20 bolt stamped slat grill. Came off my 1941 MB (No glove box, script Willys) Only ever had one can. Great shape, no rust- some original wiring, clips and hood gasket left in place for type/period matching. One of the first 25,000 grills ever produced. Never restored, messed with, original OD paint underneath. Some minor bends (easily fixed), one slat loose at top. This grill is is really, really great shape if you want all original parts for your restoration. These do not come up for auction very often at all. I will not give it away, but reserve is appropriately low. A great chance for a rare and special part. Don’t miss out. I would rather see it go to someone who knows what this part really means!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was for trade
(03/09/2010) The seller wants to trade this for a CJ-5 or CJ-7.
“1951 WILLYS CJ3A ORIGINAL CONDITION. 132 FLAT FOUR 3 SPEED. THE JEEP IS A BEAST , IT IS 99% ORIGINAL AND IN FAIR CONDITION. LIKE ALL OLD WILLYS , IT HAS HAD A FEW RUST REPAIRS OVER THE YEARS, BUT THE BODY IS ALL THERE AND SOLID. THE FRAME IS GREAT NO ROT ONLY SURFACE RUST. THE JEEP TURNS OVER FINE, BUT NEEDS A FUEL PUMP TO RUN. IT WILL RUN OFF A FUEL BOTTLE TO THE CARB. YOU WILL NEED TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR WHEEL BOLTS, THERE IS NO WAY TO KNOW HOW LONG THIS JEEP SAT BEFORE I PURCHASED IT. TON OF NEW PARTS, PLUGS , WIRES , CAP , POINTS, …………..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900
(03/04/2010) This looks like a pretty good price. It runs and drives.
“This old jeep runs and drives! It’s licensed with new plates and has new none directional tires with less than 50 miles on them. I had the carb rebuilt a month ago. Still needs a little fine tune. I have a tow bar that fits it great so if you have a two inch ball on your truck your ready to pull it home. The old jeep also has a new battery. I’m open to trade for old rat rods,model a truck or coupe,or old cushmans. I’m not really looking for much else, cash is always best. My very best price is 2,900 firm. Please keep in mind it runs and drives and has license now! and the tires with mounting for none directional are expensive”l
UPDATE: Price dropped to $5700
(02/06/2010) Both the trailer and jeep look solid.

I was looking for constublary pics, but instead came across this page full of restored old jeeps that were part of Bastogne’s 65th Anniversary Commemoration.
Here’s one pic. There are many, many more at the US Militaria Forum: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=61626&st=0

“1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep VIN/Serial 72467. What we have up for grabs here is a “Hot Rod” (or perhaps it is best described as a “Resto-Mod Version” thereof)! You see, the JEEP RUNS GREAT WITH NO PROBLEMS thanks to the “fire breathing” Chevy 4.3 Liter V-6 (out of a Monte Carlo 1985). And the hot little motor has just been fully and freshly tuned (with less than 50 miles on it). So yeah she runs like a top and I have “Clear Title” in hand so she really is ready to go! ….. (a list of new stuff on craigslist ad”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This price includes an overdrive and a full cage. Looks like a solid buy, even if just a parts jeep.

I haven’t seen a top quite like this. The jeep looks very nice!

This looks like a MB body with the back cut out. From a distance, it doesn’t look all that bad …
“1942 Willys Jeep….Have title, some extra parts. Engine is in chassis.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This might be a good project. Is that an old roll bar sticking out the back?
“1943 Willys Jeep MB model. Original flat head 4 cylinder Willys engine. Misc parts and repair manual. This vehicle ran until the clutch went out, new clutch partially installed. This vehicle is a great project vehicle. Jeep doesn’t have a gas tank. This was an old Navy jeep. Still has the original blackout lights except for the headlight. This is great for the serious restorer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
(02/18/2010) Brett forward me a link that lead me to several items from KSL’s website (in salt lake city), here’s a ’46 that appears pretty solid. This is located in Eastern Idaho. Note there’s another jeep next to the one for sale, but no indication as to whether that’s for sale or not.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2600
(10/16/09) Here’s another hunting jeep.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000
(07/13/09) There’s been a variety of updates done to this including reversed SOA (spring over axle) springs in the front. It looks like it might be SOA in the back, too.
“Very nice highhood needs some work to be ready to street or trail drive agian i jeeped it for a year then started fixing many things took blazer springs off moved front 3 inchs forward put dodge spring over front and rear fixed shock mounts daul shock all around fixed and replaced brake lines rear wheel cylinders new master cylinder micro lock fixed steering colume tilt new mounting brackets new steering arm all new body and spring bushings has dana 44s front and rear powerlock rear 427 gears detroit locker front new drive lines front rear has pro car seats full cage comes with used fulltop has exellent running 327 V8 just built custom headers for it and had them ceramic coated cast iron t-10 4 speed and cast iron bell housing i took tank under seat out and has a 12 gallon tank under rear i took out was going to build a bigger one fixed winch mount and front bumper has a fairly new 8274 put new electronic distribator and value covers and air cleaner on it has a great working q jet carb on it works nice on hills i got a willys grill and hood that go with it jeep still needs alittle work to get back on road if i repaint it and get back driving i want 12500 take way it is now 10000 firm”
UPDATE: Still Available
(02/12/2010) This has some unusual features. It’s an ugly duckling of sorts. I’m kind of digging that crazy hood — not sure what’s wrong with me — it’s a strange one. If you can easily get the engine going, this might be an interesting project. And what’s on the front of the grille?
“1948 Jeep CJ2A – $2,200 OBO. Small block chevy motor / manual steering upgrade / late style 11″ brake conversion (front & rear) / custom hardtop using factory soft doors & frame / borg-warner overdrive / stock 3speed transmission / 2 fuel tanks / very little rust / the jeep has been sitting in a carport since 1991.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Brett and the Utah eWillys Bureau should be proud of this find. Check out the sort-of-custom body on this jeep. I’d like to check this out more closely to see exactly what’s left of the old body (if anything).
“1951 Willys Jeep. 283 V8 Chevy small block, 4 speed transmission with 33×12.50 tires. Custom built body, new corbeau seats with harnesses. Runs strong, new wiring, new gas tank. I never use it so it just sits in the garage. Time for it to go.”
Tim contacted me to note that he published more images about Willys and Fidel from Cuba on willysjeep.com. Here is a little history of Fidel and Willys along with a gallery of images. I previously published a post about Cuba here. Tim continues to publish some truly unique items!
Here’s a sneak peak of an ambulance. I haven’t come across too many later model Willys Ambulances.
