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: Was $2000. **SOLD**
The body looks a little rust.
“I have a 1946 Jeep CJ2A that looks like the famous WWII Army Jeep. The Motor, Transmission, Brakes have all been rebuilt. This Jeep runs like a watch. It just needs to be painted with Olive Drab paint and it is ready for Adventure or Hunting Camp. These are getting very difficult to find and are Very Collectable. I would also consider an interesting trade?”
It appears in good shape. It’s not “all” original. That steering wheel looks like a later model wheel of some type.
“1946 CJ-2A fully restored. chevy orange. all original. 4.88 gears. clean title. 4×4. no rust. $7500 obo or possible trades? call me at 443-375-7446 or email me for other questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
There’s one whole jeep shot, but it’s from a distance.
“CJ 2a runs and drives and is very reliable. All the gauges work as do the lights. You pull the choke hit the key and it starts every time. MB grill and flip up headlights. M38 oil filter and air cleaner. Bigger brakes than stock and factory 5.38s. The jeep has been converted to 12 volt and has a new one wire GM alternator. It has very good tread 31s.

“1954 Willys CJ3B Jeep with hardtop and plow. 54K, 4CYL, 4X4. Needs work due to rust/rot. Engine was running fine but has an electrical issue now and does not start. Needs brake work. All pieces there and would make a great restoration project. More pics available upon request. $1200.00 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Looks nice for the price. I didn’t know they made these as late as 1979.
“Presented here, up for sale, is a 1979 IH Scout II with less than 39,000 miles. It originally sold from Lemieux Garage in Colebrook, NH, and spent it’s life in New England. It’s currently registered, inspected, and driven occasionally. The 304 ci. V8 has plenty of power and a recent tune up. The 4 speed trans and 4X4/HI-LO with Warn hubs work as they should. It has power steering, power brakes, no A/C, and front/rear Dana 44 axles with 3.07 gears. The factory interior is complete with very little wear and tear. There is an aftermarket radio installed under the dash with 2 door speakers. The brown paint still shines on the sides with no dents. The top surfaces are starting to fade, and the metal hard top has some small bubbles and holes here and there, around the edges. The lower rear quarter panels, the rocker panels, and the lower and inner front fenders have rot, but it remains presentable. This Scout is very original and unmolested making it the perfect base for a restoration, or just drive it as is. I will consider trades of equal or better value. If you have any questions, or to make an appointment to see it,”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
Looks like a parts jeep.
“1946 CJ2A for parts or restoration. Early split window jeep. Was driving it around last year. Tub is shot, frame is good and engine ran smooth with no smoke. Has working plow set up missing just the blade. No title bill of sale only.”

Cool Toys!
“These are really great. Late 50’s or very early ’60’s — 3 pieces: 11″ Willys Jeep, 10.5″ Searchlight trailer (complete but insides were rotted so I rewired it and the light works now) & 18″ Troop transport truck”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $600.
Here’s a project.
“Needs restored. All original. 4 cylinder. 6 volt system. Currently not running but motor turns over.”
The seller claims to have put $7000 into this jeep. I can’t tell that much has been spent.
“GOT $7000 IN TO IT BUT ITS VALUE IS AROUND $10,000 THE JEEP IS UPGRADED AND I WOULD RATHER HAVE CASH BUT I WILL SWAP FOR A 96 OR NEWER JEEP WRANGLER, FLATS BOAT OR?”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500

“Up for sale is an Awesome Jeep CJ3B. Only 37k miles. Just changed diff gear oil. I really do not want to sell, but i have 2 other Jeeps and not enough storage space. I started to restore her about 1 year ago, but I’m in the process of moving, and i just don’t have the room anymore. The motor has been removed for better access. She ran like a champ when i last drove her! I have all parts labeled, and neatly set asidethat were removed (minor). Motor, tranny, and transfer case are all together. Minimal rust on floor panel, has all gauges (fuel gauge is probably going to need replacement), 31″ tires, roll cage, and much much more! Have title in hand for new owner. The pictures were taken a week or so ago. Great project vehicle, or just put the motor back in and have some good ol fun! There are plenty of extra parts if needed. This jeep is an antique and a collectors item, and one of the first Civilian Jeeps ever made. I could go on and on about this Jeep, but don’t have time right now. E-Mail me with any questions and make me an offer. Please don’t waste my time, serious buyers & Jeep fans only! I will take some more detailed pics as soon as i get a chance to. If i have time i will put the motor back in. This is a great Jeep. Best offer within 2 weeks takes it!!! Good Luck.”

(09/28/09) This looks a bit rough and I don’t think it’s just the paint job.
“1947 willys jeep for sale strong motor needs brake work and steering box has orignal flat head 4cyl does not smoke or burn oil would be a great hunting jeep or one to restore body is in good shape”
UPDATE: Still Available
(09/17/09) This is apart, though it’s unclear to me if it is completely apart.
“Up for grabs is this 1959 Jeep CJ3B. I bought it last year with plans to restore it but realised i don’t have the knowledge, time or $$! I took it apart with plans of sand blasting and repainting, but prior to that it ran pretty good. Clean title, renewed plates. Email for more info. Make me an offer, this jeep is a rare find!”

Here’s an unusally modified CJ-2A.
“1946 CJ2A (flat-fender) HUNTING JEEP 4 WD. THE ONLY THING NOT REBUILT ON THIS JEEP IN THE LAST 5K MILES IS THE ENGINE WHICH DIDN’T NEED IT. ENGINE STARTS EASILY, RUNS SMOOTH. 90% TREAD ON 32 INCH ALL TERRAIN TIRES AND FILLED WITH SLIME. LIGHTS WORK, GAUGES WORK, (PTO WINCH ENGAGING LEVER IS BROKEN), DUXBAK CORDURA CAMO SEAT FABRIC, 2 DOG DOG BOX FOR QUAIL HUNTING WITH SEAT AND TOP STORAGE COMPARTMENT. RECIEVER HITCHES ON FRONT AND BACK BUMPERS. TOWBAR, MANUAL LOCK-OUT HUBS. 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANNY. GREAT HUNTING RIG. I DROVE THIS FOR 7 YEARS ON A HUNTING RANCH AFTER BUILDING/OVERHAULING IT WITH ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEMS. DON’T HAVE A PLACE TO USE IT ANY MORE”
Dan just picked up this SM420 pretty cheaply, but it has a remote shifter rather than a tower shifter. Anyone have a SM420 Tower they don’t need? If so, leave a comment below and I’ll make sure Dan get’s your message.
Dan notes this tranny came from a M-561 6×6 (note inscription on serial number). Here’s a link to Olive Drab which describes them.
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This sports a nice looking winch. This might be a good price. I suspect the engine is a buick 215.
“1947 willys with aluminum V8, moster winch and softtop.Too much to descibe,runs nice.Call Mell for details.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800
Here’s a great deal. This includes an overdrive and a PTO! The roll cage looks good, too. I’m wondering if this also has the hudson steering, as that steering wheel looks similar to a hudson wheel.
“I am selling a 1940’s ( not sure of the exact year) Willys w/ no title but will do a bill of sale; Would be a great project to restore!! Very solid body w/ minor surface rust, no holes, just a few pin holes here and there; Has a Buick 225 V6 which has a rod knocking; has a good T90 Transmission w/ a good Spicer 18 Transfer Case; Plus some extra parts to go w/ it like a Transmission and Transfer Case, Hard to find WARN Overdrive and PTO; Is NOT Driveable but does run/idle; If you have any more questions”
This includes an overdrive, but it’s still a project. The seller is moving.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500!!!
(09/20/09) This has got a wide rimmed, slanted dashboard fiberglass body. It also has the rear wheel well extended slightly.

Griffin aluminum radiator, Twin stick transfer case, New master cylinder, New headers and mufflers, Fiberglass tub (body), Fiberglass fenders, Factory metal/steel Hood (stamped Willys), Extra Fiberglass hood …”
I found this dually earlier this week, but now can’t remember where. So, if anyone happens to know, send me the link and I’ll make sure the website (or jeep owner or both) gets the credit due them.
Speaking of duallies, here’s an flashback to the 80s Drag Racing scene with an old racer courtesy of OffRoadAction.ca:
UPDATE: Was $4000. **SOLD**
It looks like there’s some rust near the driver’s side step. It appears pretty stock.
“1951 willys jeep for sale OBO.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“
This jeep has been in the family since around 1957. It has always been kept in a nice dry barn and only used occasionally, mostly just to drive around the property. It runs fine and I just drove it to a jeep show last week. The brakes need a little work as well as some of the light bulbs. Asking $3000 or best offer and would like to sell soon to make room in the barn for other items.”
