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 CJ-3A appears to have a CJ-2A windshield.
“1951 willys jeep,orig 4 cyl motor, $4500.00 or best offer,extras, for info call chuck at (775)530-6638”
I’m not a big fan of the smaller wheels up front, but it’s pretty hot looking otherwise.
“This is a 1949 Jeepster with a 440 six pack motor. Has been in the family for 50 years. Has been kept inside at all times. I am selling because I have no time to drive it and enjoy it, hopefully someone else will enjoy it as much as I did when I had the time. The car has a mopar 440 six pack engine, bored 0.60 over, has large racing cam, carborators have jet kit put in them, 727 transmission with shift kit, 3000 stahl convertor. Pictures show car with 4 barrel no six pack ….”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3000
It’s probably a bit much for a non-running project.
“WW2 jeep project includes your choice of MB or GPW frame. Both in good restorable condition. Older ” new” body kit with new tube, fenders, and hood with original grille and complete windsheild. Running WW2 era engine, T-84 transmission, all 3 seat frames and misc. parts. A very solid project. $3500. Call 918-836-7583 or 918-231-2133″
You’ll remember we first met Dan and his CJ-5 from his discussion of his Hudson Steering to Saginaw Swap.
Dan has provided us with some additional coverage of the resurrection of his Grandfather’s jeep. This might just become a series :-). Besides, I’m a sucker for anyone will to take the time to breath life into the family jeep. There’s plenty of people who would have junked this CJ-5. Thanks for sharing Dan!
Dan writes, “One of the great things about a Jeep project is that you can work on all the little things while you save up for or look for those parts for the big jobs. Here is a brief look at some of my smaller repairs. First, here is the project Jeep. A 1955 CJ5. [editor’s note: the front shackles were reversed on this CJ-5 which produced some understandable discussions about whether this was actually a M-38A1. Clearly it’s not :-).]
Starting with the gas tank, after cleaning all the surface rust off of the gas tank, I discovered a series of little holes. Now you can easily find an after-market steel or plastic tank, but for about $5 I may be able to fix it.
Here is the gas tank all cleaned up and patched with epoxy (JB Weld). If it works than I saved about $100. If it doesn’t work, well then it didn’t cost me too much to give it a try.
UPDATE: These are no longer for sale. I keep this post just for ideas.
Jim writes, “I’m tired of not having anything out there anymore for Willys. For example, the only replacement seats you can get for an early Willys are either military or black vinyl. How boring! There are no more bikini tops of any variety – everyone pretty much runs the same boring top. Continue reading
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
This is a nice looking CJ-3B, but what’s going on with the rear springs?
“1964 CJ3B Jeep runs & drives – 4X4 works – has F134 motor, an extra transfer case, and a metal top with doors. Will take $3,500.00 OBO.”
This jeep has a variety of upgrades, though it’s having some difficulty with 2nd gear.
“I am selling my cj3a to make room for my other projects. It has a 4 bolt 350 chevy with an sm420 truck 4 speed, dana 20 t-case, dana 44 rear end and stock front. Brand new 33.12.50 BFG mud terrains.

UPDATE: Was $2995. **SOLD**
The seller lists this as a 1953 GB2. I thought that was a mistake until I did a search and discovered that this probably means this jeep is part of the second round of serials numbers for CJ-3Bs. In other words, it’s a pretty early CJ-3B.
“1953 Willys GB2. B style so room for new engine. 12 Volt System. Valve stuck in the original flat head. Tranny, lock outs, and diff good shape. Good wheels and tires. I don’t have time to rebuild. Great project. Licensed as collectable. $2,995 or BO.”

Here’s the first jeep I’ve ever featured from Puerto Rico and what a beauty it is.
“For Auction Beautifull 1960 Jeep Willys, it has been in the family since new, only one owner. It was recently restore by professionals. Everything in great working conditions.
UPDATE: A reader provided some pics. He notes it’s in pretty good shape, but the seller is ‘a bit difficult’.
“Solid jeep stored indoors,no rust built in tow bar, v/6 buick engine,plenty of power,asking 2000.00 obo call mark at 480-217-1386. has license plate and i have a clear title.”

Here’s a very nice looking 1942 MB (or is it a GPW?) that a reader spotted in Boise a couple days ago.
This looks like a lighter duty fiberglass body similar to the fiberglass body I used on my first jeep.
“Replacement fiberglass tub for all flat fender Willys Jeep models. Comes with high-back, brand new, fiberglass seats with lap belts. Also has a perfect grill. This tub is in excellent shape, no holes and its never been mounted. The grill and tub are ready for your paint! This will shorten your project by months! Please call Mark @ 916-295-9157 for more information.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
The body looks a little beat up.
“Good condition with V-8 and automatic transmission and 35” tires. Runs and drives good.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
This jeep has undergone a number of changes. The seller has added detailed artwork to the hood, while underneath is a nice looking V8.

It’s still a project. It needs seats, wiring and probably more.
“47 willys good shape set up for a v8 chevy have headers toyota axles ,over spring steering ,new wheels bad tires , no seats are wireing its a project!!
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This 1961 CJ-6 hybrid appears in pretty good shape. But what inspired the design? Rust in the body maybe? Maybe something in the water in Maine?
“61 Willys CJ6 Custom Jeep Narrowed Down 23″, Wheel Base is 77” Runs Great! Willys 4 Cylinder 3 Speed, Soft top $2,000. “
UPDATE: Still Available
This might make a nice project. The body appears in good shape with all its chrome.

There’s been some body work done on the driver’s side near the step.
“
Original drive train except Warn overdrive has been added. No rust. Runs and drives good. Not many originals left like this.”
Here’s another one of these Willys/Toyota hybrids. It appears to have been a well executed transformation, though the front bumper is a little underwhelming.
“This auction is for my 1953 Willys Jeep built using my many years of experience owning and using lifted Jeeps as daily drivers.The very clean Willys Jeep body is mounted on a Suzuki Samurai frame. This was done to gain a light weight, fully boxed, straight and rust free frame. I installed a Toyota 20R mated to a Toyota 4 speed transmission and 2 speed transfer case. These were bought with about 80,000 miles on them per the previous owner.The engine starts immediately and does not smoke. I upgraded to an electronic distributor and purchased a used MSD box (works great). I am also running a remanufactured Holley 32/36 carburetor.The transmission shifter has a lot of play but there are no issues with how it works (it does not pop out of gear or make noises). A new clutch was put in when the transmission was installed.”

This is a CJ-3A with a M-38 body and some stainless additions, such as the grille and jockey box.
“You are bidding on a beautifully restored 1949 Willys Overland Jeep. It was aquired by a father and son in Utah who did much of the major restorations between 2000 and 2003. During that time it also ran one of the Moab courses. In 2003 it was purchased by a collector in Connecticut who did little more with it than store it in a heated garage. I bought it in 2007. The chasis, engine and drive train are original CJ3A (civilian) and the body is a steel M 38 (military). It has after market front lock out hubs. It is painted Subaru Electric Yellow.
