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 .
This may have been a nice looking rig back in its heyday.

“1954 willys frame and body. This Vehicle had a 327 Chevy motor swap. We took the motor out but the automatic transmission is still there. There are another set of tires with this”
This is a project with some mods. The seller mistakenly notes that only 6,011 CJ-2A jeeps were made in 1947. The number is actually 65,078.

The 2022 Holy Toledo! calendar is now in stock and ready for your holiday purchase!
Yesterday, with cold weather arriving soon, I took advantage of a warm, but very windy day, to pull Biscuit off the trailer and put it on the hoist. Now, all three jeeps are in the shop.
But, before we gathered the jeeps, both Ann and her son Daniel, who has been helping us around the property, each took the race jeep for a run in the pasture.
Here I am giving Daniel a ride. Unfortunately, my long legs preclude me from shifting into second gear (that’s how tight it is). Once I fix that, I can go much faster.
Here are some still shots. First up is Ann in the cockpit:
Here’s Daniel just finished with a run around the pasture:
Ann’s stomach surgery this summer, which as helped her in numerous ways, including solving her several adverse reactions to gluten (unsure why?), has also helped her lose quite a bit of weight. This has helped reduce her over all pain and also allows her to easily fit into the race jeep. Though she didn’t drive too fast, she did have fun racing around our back pasture. Once she gets used to it, I expect she will enjoy racing at a PNW event.
Jalopnik’s David Tracy recounts his adventure with a “barn-find” FC-150 that seemed too good to be true. As the story unfolds, you’ll see that you just never know about these jeeps.

Blaine spotted this built racer used during the 1980s.
https://eugene.craigslist.org/cto/d/crescent-city-1973-cj5-jeep/7399503292.html
“Selling for a friend, jeep is located in Crescent City.
Built for and raced in 1982&1983 “mint 400 in Las Vegas, Nevada and the 1984 Pro Can-Am series in Southern Oregon.
AMC 304 V8 engine:
Engine was professionally built in Phoenix Oregon. Engine has been balanced, blueprinted, line honed, decked, slabbed, ported, and polished. Bored 10 over. TRW flat top pistons have been fly cut for the proper valve relief. Heads are the highly sought after and coveted pre smog 3196291C small chamber with the dog leg ports. Original factory heads were 58.92 cc with 1.625/2.025 valves. These heads have been professionally reworked per the American Motors “Performance American Style” guide to high performancing AMC engines (original AMC book included). Heads are the 291C 50.60 cc with balanced chambers. Original factory compression ratio was about 7.2:1 Flat top pistons and the small chamber heads now put this engine slightly over 10.4:1. Rods were all balanced and shot peened.Cam is a 274 duration .500 lift hydraulic
UPDATE: Was on eBay. Now listed on Craigslist.
(03/26/201) This has a rear PTO gear box. The drain holes appear filled.

“1947 Willys Jeep – w/ Working PTO- 4×4. Mileage 45,044 Runs good. Condition is “Used”. Local pickup only.”
Listed as a 1947 and a 1948, this appears to be a 1949 (or later) CJ-3A.

“This Willys Jeep is stock and in good to excellent condition. Starts easy and runs great and has new tires. Asking $10,000 or Best Offer.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(11/05/2021) Looks like a good price. Has a fiberglass body (possibly a Bobcat body). Sounds like it has a non-functional overdrive.

“Selling my project CJ2A. I just don’t have time to work on it.

a buick oddfire v6 swap
transfer case overdrive (currently non-functional)
tilt steering
electric fuel pump

It looks like there is a $1000 worth of value here. Note the hard-to-find Hudson steering setup.
https://portland.craigslist.org/mlt/cto/d/sandy-1946-jeep-willys/7407874513.html
“Here it is the opportunity of a lifetime. A 1946 jeep Willys that could become your dream come true. I purchased this vehicle and it was stored in the garage since the 1970s. The 70s is also when it was last driven. See the pictures that it is a work in progress and will become a labor of passion.  Unfortunately this beauty does not have a title and is to be sold as is. What a fantastic opportunity to bring this rich piece of history back to life.”
It hasn’t been run in about 15 years.

“This is a titled 1947 Jeep. $6,000 OBO. It has a M38 body and engine. This Jeep runs but currently has the fuel tank out since the tank it came with when I got it was for a CJ2A. I have a brand new M38 tank to install. I have also replaced three of the four brakes (cylinders and pads) and have the forth one plus master cylinder on hand. I just haven’t had time to install it. This sale will include both fuel tanks and the remaining brake parts and every thing you see in the photos and the spare M38 engine. This is a project jeep with straight body with no rust.”
Listed as a 1946, the grille suggests it is later than that. The hardtop looks to be for a CJ-5.
