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 .
David sent us a few pics of his 1956 Wagon next to his 1951 Cj-3A. David notes that it “still has the 226 flat head and is still 6V.” Very nice! Thanks Dave!
It’s a good looking GPW.
“Originally purchased privately in January of 1983 in Heightstown, New Jersey. Has been garage kept since purchase, and believed to have been prior to also. It was primarily used for parades, re-enactments and static displays. Entire body and interior is original, including seat covers, ID plates, and windshield. Body was stripped down and repainted. Some additional body work and mechanical work required to get into show condition. Still has 6 volt system, may need new wiring harness. Generator rebuilt in late 1980’s. Motor rebuilt at time of purchase. Shimmy in front end when driven and small stone chip in driver’s side of windshield.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
These tow trucks don’t come up for sale everyday. That said, it’s a bit rough.
“This is a nice FC170 (FC-170) forward control Willy’s Jeep tow truck. As you can see, the truck is a total restoration project, but being that it is so rare, it would be well worth the investment. It has the original Canfield tow truck equipment minus the sling and A-frame off rear bumper. Has the original motor, transmission, and axles. The transfer case needs repair. Has no front drive shaft. The FC originally came equipped with the deluxe cab option. Also suspect that it may have the severe service option but can’t be sure. More photos can be seen here. The vehicle is located in Woodford, Vermont and will need to be picked up. No shipping or tranportation will be provided. There is no title, but bill of sale will be provided.”
This is one of the nicest M-170s I’ve seen. It’s not museum perfect, but that adds some nice character.
“This Jeep is in great condition, it will still start right up every time and runs excellently. This has been very well taken care of and is quite rare. My grandfather served as a Lt. Colonel in WWII and beyond. He purchsed this Jeep from the Army after his retirement and restored it for me. It is a mechanical masterpiece, they don’t make them like this anymore. Nothing gives me more pleasure than cranking up this piece of authentic United States military history and driving back in time. This vehicle is really great and I hate to part with it. I am willing to let it go for less than it is valued because of financial circumstances….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“1947 Willys Jeep (eats early broncos on any 4×4 course LOL). Powerful cammed 305 SBC with dual exhaust (30,000 on engine). Original Warn overdrive with existing drivetrain. Front lock-outs with big 11×2 inch brake upgrade. Runs excellent. Jeep was from California so the body is very good. Entire jeep needs some tlc in all areas to be extra nice. New master cylinder included, but not installed. Also included in sale is 2 brand new front buckets.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1950.
This is unusual.
“A unique hydraulic dump body jeep conversion, also comes equipped with a 6′ plow blade. New shocks and master cylinder. Has NYS registration. Please email with a phone number I can contact you with. Thanks for looking.”
This looks like a parts jeep. It looks like it’s been sitting a while. Note the hubs appear to be warn hubs. Maybe there’s some other updates as well.
“This is a willys jeep 4×4 the year is between a 48-53. It has the original 4cylinder flathead motor, high/low transfer case. It would be great for restoring or using it for hunting. I am posting this for my uncle so if you have any questions email me and I will ask him and email you back. I have seen this run and drive. This does not have a title.”
UPDATE: Was $2500. **SOLD**
This is a project that’s a bit expensive for a project.
“1949 Willys CJ3A with 327 Corvette engine – $3,000. This Flatfender will make a great project vehicle! The 1968 Corvette 327 engine (Holly 4 barrel) is not running and probably needs a rebuild. Includes Bikini Top and parts for a full roll cage. The tire sidewalls are cracked so bring your trailer.”
I’ve not heard of an MVD? It does appear to be an MB body. The story behind the purchase is a bit odd. He tried to convince his parents he didn’t want it, and just wanted to sell it, but has done a bunch of work on it? hmmmm…..
“… Well, after weeks of trying to convince my parents that I do not want this thing, here it is up for sale to you. I will tell you what I know about the vehicle. Having personally worked on it, the Jeep runs very well, solid engine and drive train, four wheel drive works, all electrical items, except the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge needs the sensor in the tank, the actual gauge is fine. The outside paint actually looks good, orange in color. The soft top is showing some significant age, windows are whiting….”
I thought this picture was pretty unusual. Surf over to the FC Connection website to learn more about the Rolligon, a vehicle based roughly on the FC-170.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
I’m thinking this is a very rare opportunity. I’ve never seen this complement of snow devices on an FC-150.
“1959 Jeep FC-150 Engine Runs Great. New Tires. New Hydrolics to raise Blower. BLOWER is powered by 440Ci. RB with only 70000 miles. This engine replaced a 361 Ci. commercial High Torque engine that developed a rod knock, Totally REPAIRABLE. Also goes with DEAL !! Replace ment is partially complete. Varrious additional parts to both engines also included. LOTS OF FUN !! CASH ONLy !! NO reasonable offer refused”
This is a rough, but running CJ-3A. This looks a pretty decent deal.
“Willis jeep original flat head 4 cylinder engine. Engine runs great! brakes need repair. This Jeep has oversized drum brakes (the original brakes are included) master cylinder was just rebuilt new flex lines on the front. the electrical system has been converted to 12v (except the starter) the charging system is an alternator. I have new motor mounts and a new oil filter also a carberator kit.”
The year and model are wrong on the Ad. This might be a pretty decent deal if the rust description is accurate.
“i have for sale a 1951 jeep willys cj2a. it has the factory 4 cylinder motor that has been rebuilt about 2 years ago. it is a 3 speed transmission with a twin stick transfercase. runs and drives great. needs a clutch rod in it now, but thats it ! everything else is in great shape. very little rust. i have a set of 15×10 bullet hole wheels to go with it but they are not pictured. asking 2200.00 obo call (706)-676-4620 if no answer leave a message.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on ebay.
This has a large number of good looking mods. The body is a bit beat up as if it’s seen a few trails (and there’s nothing wrong with that).
“Up for bid is a 1946 Willys CJ-2A off road Jeep that is highly modified and extremely capable in all off road situations (particularly great in rocks). The Willys sits on American 15×10 wheels, 33×14 Super Swamper TSL bogger tires and is powered by a Heeney Racing built 230ci odd fire V6 engine. The Dauntless V6 is equipped with a mild performance cam, headers, Stinger Magna-Pulse electronic ignition, a Kenney Bell intake manifold & Holley 390cfm 4bbl carburetor.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It has some rust, but it sure looks very stock and very complete.
“We received this beautiful little Jeep from a ranch in Poteet, Texas. The Jeep has spent the last 40 years as a ranch Jeep, and wasn’t driven outside of the ranch. Jeep starts up right away and runs, but it needs a complete restoration or you can keep it as is with a little brake work for you ranch. It has a light blue color we believe is original. The interior and the tail lights need work. All in all, it is a solid little toy that can become very valuable with a good restoration. The VIN number is 37934 the body number is 137934 …”
This looks like an aftermarket body, so it’s probably in very good condition.
“This is a 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep. This belonged to my father-in-law, he was a car collector and has now passed away. I am now the owner and will try my best to answer your questions. It is almost entirely original. I put a new gas tank on it also a new carburator, tail pipe, muffler and a blinker switch. It runs great, approx. 50 mph. Four wheel drive works and both high and low range work. All the gauges work (oil pressure, gas, watertemp, amps and speedometer) the odometer does not work. All the lights work(high-low beam and left-right blinkers) Has a rear hitch and a spare tire as the pictures show. The paint does not appear to be original. I would love to keep her but I don’t have the time to spend on it.”
Are those some kind of blackout headlights? I haven’t seen those before. There’s a few minor things to quibble with, but it sure looks great. I really have to start building that eWillys travel budget!
“ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, REAR AXLE ALL REBUILT, CORRECT FORDING EQUIPMENT, BLACK LIGHT, RIFLE RACK,CORRECT ENGINE,CORRECT RIMS, NEARLY EVERYTHING IS CORRECT, THERE ARE A FEW THINGS, THAT ARE NOT QUITE MODEL CORRECT BUT ARE REALLY CLOSE, NEW RADIATOR, NEW TYRES ….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
This seller had their jeep appraised at $22,000.
“1946 Willys Overland CJ2A, Jeep, Original, Stock, Like New, After WW2 Willys tried to sell Jeeps as tractors, They added color options and a PTO on the rear. This Jeep is just like the one on the cover of the 1946 Willys sales brochure. Pasture Green with yellow wheels. You could not find a nicer one. The Jeep was appraised by High Performance Enterprises in Moses Lake Wa. @ $22000,00 dollars. I will look at all offers. Vin # is 59122, Odometer 53803, 4 cylinder 60 hp@3600 rpm engine, 3 speed tran. 2 speed transfer case, 4 wheel hyd brakes, pto,”
UPDATE: This 2A with an APU was on eBay.
The body looks pretty smooth on this, but the hood certainly is unusual. Also, it appears there is also an overdrive with it.
“1948 Willys Jeep 4Cyl, 3 Spd Manual This Is A No Reserve Auction Bid To Win. Here’s Another One Of Those Unique Super Fun Vehicles That Only Sullivan Motors Here In Sunny Mesa, Arizona Can Bring To You!!!!!

I’m pretty sure the 4:20 rear ends are really 4:10 gearing front and rear (or they are 538 gears). What’s a 538 GM transmission? There’s some mixed up numbers. The trailer certainly is interesting.
“1942 Willys Jeep/With Trailer, 1967 Ford Motor-225 odd fire, 420 Rear Ends, 538 GM Transmission

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
It looks good. There’s a thorough explanation by the seller.
“You are bidding on a 1951 Willys CJ3A that has been body on frame restored by JaxJeepOnline. The body was in great shape for a jeep of this age when I got it and only had surface rust areas and 1 very small area that was rust damaged. Sheet metal was used to fill the areas. All parts that I applied are OEM or NOS parts. I replaced the front grille. The seats still have the original pans and springs in good condition. Turn signals have been added and the original 6 volt configuration has been maintained in case the buyer wishes to go further with a resto and keep it as close to original as possible….”
This looks great, though it’s not in perfect condition. There’s a nice long list of large pics. It’s worth taking a peek at this one.
“This 1942 Willys Jeep has been in southern California since new. The body was taken down to bare metal top and bottom and was repainted its original olive drab military color at a cost of over $5000.The body is spotless rust free and it was only used in the dry desert climate since new. The black California license plates that were assigned to it back in the 1960’s are still registered to it. I have both plates. It has new canvas seats from Beachwood Canvas.
