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 $3000.
Here’s a custom rig. Does this qualify as street legal in Alaska?
“1955 WILLYS BUGGY…33″ TIRES…10,000 LB. WINCH…TOW BAR…250 CID FORD SIX WITH FOUR SPEED, HIGH/LOW TRANFER CASE…..$3000.00 OR OFFER.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This appears to be a reasonable price given the completeness of the jeep.
“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A project. I intended to do a complete frame off restoration but it will be way to long until I can get to the rebuild and I have one too many Jeeps now. The Jeep appears to be completely original with a few exceptions. It has had a V6 swapped in what appears to me as a Buick 225 but I have not verified this. Original T90 tranny, Dana 18 t case, front Dana 27 and rear 44 are intact and serviceable (I spot only the expected leaks to be fixed). An aftermarket roll bar has been installed and what looks to be a 3″ suspension lift. All body pieces have the original Willys marks and the original serial number and instruction plates are present. The body is pretty rough however. It is badly rusted underneath and has some ‘bites’ of rust especially behind front fenders. I had planned to replace the whole tub after blasting a re-coating the frame. The frame has surface rust all the way around but I have not spotted any integrity issues (no corrosion through major stress points for body or spring hangers, etc.). The previous owner told me it was running as of a few months ago (as evidenced by a new fuel pump, distributor and wires) but I have not fixed her up enough to turn her over. BE AWARE: THE JEEP WILL NOT DRIVE OUT!! Buyer must be prepared with a trailer and way to winch the Jeep onto it.
Price is $1500.00 FIRM. NO trade and serious inquiries only. The Jeep is located 30 mins. away from me in another garage of mine and I must have notification well ahead of time to come take a look. Understandhttp://www.ewillys.com/wp-admin/post-new.php that this is a full rebuild project. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(01/27/10) This appears in good condition and appears very stock.
“Great condition,runs great,Breaks need work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3950
It’s hard to tell much from the photo.
‘Mechanical condition ( very good ), four wheel drive, bucket seats, turning signals, trailor hitch, folding windshield, outside mirro on driver side, USMC decals on each side, 4×4 transfer case; two speed and is in parade condition Jeep. The Jeep was appraised on (9-2-09) by Classic Car Appraisal. The certificate will be turned over at time of purchase with the Jeep. The engine had a partial overhaul in 2007 and was painted about that time also.”
Or found this Tander for sale (thanks Or!). The exchange rate puts the price on this at about $10,000. I still a bit shocked I haven’t seen any original literature for these yet. That’s reminds me .. I need to build a special page for these ….

“1951 Willys Wagon 2WD. All original runs and drives, this is a project vehicle. Needs restoration. Very clean rust free body. Call or email Dan for details 1,950 obo.”
This appears to be a nice CJ-2A. It looks like it is missing the rear bow holder.

(11/30/09) “Nice ’54 Willys Jeep for sale or trade for a Wrangler that is in good, reliable running condition and that will pass inspection. Beautiful Willys waiting to be restored. Awesome project. No other like this with the hard top, plow and wench. 12V with heat! Secret compartment included, too. Hate to part with her, but situations have changed and I won’t be able to give her the TLC she needs, like floor pans and brakes.”
A couple weeks ago some of the folks from the PNW4WDA put on another barrel racing show in the Tacoma Dome. There’s only room for two barrels, rather than three, but it still looks like fun. Here’s a few videos from the event.
Lew dropped me a note today telling me about this jeep he’d like to sell.
Lew writes, “I have a CJ2A 1946 Willy that I would like to sell. It is in perfect condition and 100% original including original paint, tires etc… no rust, nor rot and basically has been in a time capsule. I acquired it when I purchased a farm a few years back and it was maintained in a barn. It has a PTO and PTO Governor (no driveshaft). It has original canvas but no framework. The asking price is US5k or best offer. My contact number is 845.590.0927 and email address is bylandseaorair63@yahoo.com.”
Is this electric?

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400
This might make a great resto project.
“Asking 1400 for a great project car. 1958 Willeys Jeep Wagoneer. Minor rust and a couple small dents. I have extra front end parts, and bumpers. Mtor and Trans work, 2 wheel drive.I don’t have the time and space to keep it. ”

(12/31/09) I’m guessing this is most likely a CJ-3A.
“It runs and starts. Obviuosly needs to be restored. 4×4 works. Title and original VIN tag that states 1942.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3750.
(12/4/09) This looks in decent shape.
“
This is a great deer lease jeep! The M-151 is the military jeep that replaced the Willys jeep for a utility vehicle. It is a shift on the fly 4-wheel drive with full independent suspension. Has the original canvas top. $3750 obo”
These images of maneuvers out of Fort Riley, Kansas, are some of the most calvary-like jeep pics I think I’ve seen. I suppose the older army cavalry hats contribute to that, too. These are all shot by photographer Jack Delano and hosted at the Library of Congress.
I seem to have the wrong LOC links, so I’ll have to grab them tomorrow and add them.
This looks well modified for the trails.

It’s supposed to be in great shape, but it’s hard to tell this from the pics.
