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 $750.
“I have a 52 wills cj-3b high hood. I had the jeep running about a year ago when i got it since then the starter stoped working so at this time does not run. The frame axles and engine are all in good cond its a good solid base to start a resto on. The body as you would expect is in rough shape but the frame looks good. all the running gear is there and it would make a great project.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
This might have some possibilities.

“This is a fine example of an early Willys Jeep, which has had lots of recent repair and upgrade. The frame has been reinforced and it has some mild lift springs. The front axle has Warn locking hubs. The rear taillights are aftermarket lights much brighter than the original for safety. A roll bar has been installed for safety….. “
The body looks like it’s seen some good work. The grille lights are unique.

This might be a pretty good price. Only one pic, but I don’t see any serious issues.

Apparently, the seats aren’t so nice anymore? Not sure what that means.
“47 willys, jeep, kaiser, with original 4 cyl. flathead that has been completely professionaly rebuilt with warranty and reciepts to prove the build. 4 speed transmission with dual stick transfer case.

Tons of new parts for the engine and drivetrain ….”

It’s one of the cleanest jeeps around? I’d hate to see the dirty ones.

This pics are crappy, but you can see enough to see this is an unusual truck.

“PROJECT JEEP : This 51 Willy’s jeep has a great running chasis and lots of new parts in boxes, including a new wiring harness.

All running gear has been gone through including axels and tranfercase and ROCK CRUSHERS TRANS .LOTS OF PARTS NEED to sell ASAP moving . If the Jeep is still here after Saturday it will be moved to 89 ave and bell rd. “
This jeep has some great drive train upgrades. With the seller willing to negotiate, this might become a pretty good deal for someone.
“I have a ’47-ish Willys jeep for sale. It has a Buick 225, SM420(I think), Dana 300, Dana 30 front, Dana 44 rear. The Willys needs a little work; the headlights need to be installed and wired and the cooling system needs help. The wiring is very simple, a few butt connectors and everything will light right up. I think the radiator needs to be flushed to clear a few blocked tubes, nothing major. The battery will need to be charged, but the Willys starts and runs just fine; ‘tiI it gets too hot. I have a clear AZ title that is ready to be notarized and turned over to the buyer. Because it is a 1947 vehicle no emissions are required. With a little work this Willys will be a great little machine. Let me know if you’re interested. $2700 OBO. I’m willing to negotiate a reasonable price, please reply with your phone number. Thanks, JN Crowe.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100
“1947 Willys Jeep CJ 2A 4×4, Flathead 4 cylinder Original motor AND an additional motor!
Converted to 12 volt system- Great Restoration Jeep, This jeep has been garaged for 7 years in sunny/dry Arizona. It ran previously but needs gas and a battery. Drive train tight and solid. Very minimal rust spots on seat. My loss is your gain. I bought it for a project car and know I won’t get around to it. This jeep is really clean compared to most projects. Others have been parked in a field exposed to the elements. Great restoration shape. Many more pictures on demand if you are serious about purchase. You will need to salvage title as none exists. You must pick up and trailer it away.”
This trucks looks like it might be in very good condition. Willys truck and wagon prices aren’t generally that high anyway, but this might be a particularly good deal. I’d like to see a few more pics.
“Rare Fine 4X4 1952 Willys Short bed truck, yes it need some work like plug wires, radiator,battery, water hoses, other than that it all their,great cab and front end not rusted, I willing to trade?? but you can buy it for $1400.00 ;look on E-Bay They sell for lot more. cell 541-991-0949 ”

This jeep appears to have a fiberglass front clip.
“Alum. Buick V-8. Runs great, 3-spd.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
This jeep looks rough. The front clip appears to be tilting down a bit. The wheels looks good.
“1950 Jeep Willys, 3 spd, v6, extra rollbar, extra set of wheels,working heater, brand new soft top that cost 1600. This jeep is all old school! it is a blast in the snow and mud, it just doesn’t quit! I really hate to get rid of it, but I have other hobbies and not enough time. Someone is really going to have some fun in this jeep”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $2250
This ad includes links to a variety of upclose images. I think it gives a pretty honest look at the vehicle (wish all ads were this good).
“1942 Willy’s Jeep (flat fender) with Chevy 350 engine, new Borg Warner T150 transmission, Advanced adapter plate to engine/bell housing, transfer case bearings new, new battery & Quadrajet carburator, fuel filter & line. The engine has double hump 2.02″ heads and I was told it was out of a ‘70’s Corvette. The tires have a ton of tread on them and look like they’re very new. The motor turns over easily and idles just like a V8 should. This Jeep is setup well with Saginaw power steering, line locker parking brake and 2 jerry can 5 gallon fuel can holders. Since it’s a Military Jeep, it’s also got the shovel storage on the driver’s side.”
Oliver Missing operates a unique website out of Germany. He is drawing all kinds of vehicles of the red army, whether they were built, borrowed or hi-jacked from other other countries. Started in 2003, Oliver now has over 1,000 drawings, including 5 different ‘jeeps’: a Bantam BRC-40, Willys MA, Willys MB, Ford GP, and the Ford GPA. The drawings are created using Jasc Paint Shop Pro and Xara Xtreme. He plans to do many more drawings as time permits.
Here’s a couple of drawings:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Here’s a nice looking CJ-3A (though this would benefit from a different hood design).
“1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A. F-head 134 motor, warren overdrive, winch, new Tiger top. Runs Great. $3,500.00 or trade for a newer 4 wheel drive quad.”
I can’t say I’ve seen a bantam trailer with a top like this, though I’m no expert on Bantam Trailers.
“Bantam T3 Trailer WWII Serial number 9334. 1940’s Bantam T3 Trailer from world war two. It was recently sandblasted primed and painted 4 years ago. This was my grandfathers and it is very rare to find a Bantam trailer with a Top like this. I am in need of a larger cargo trailer. 12ft trailer needed and will trade. Please call 269-449-8900 or email for more information at spoon_m@hotmail.com. The following site is a forum for these trailers. Serial number is 9334. I know this is a collectors Item to the right person and I really am not looking for it to leave unless trade or this price. Thanks for checking it out.”
Jim’s selling his hot rod. Jeeps seem to be like cats, you never real own them, only take care of them for a while.
“This is our beast, our grunt wagon, I took this heavily modified Jeep in trade on a full military M38 jeep I was selling a couple years ago thinking that I had no interest in a V8 powered Willys. Then I started driving it, and playing with it, and liking it, really liking it, it is a beast, a powerhouse, it is the grunt wagon. I’ll try to list everything that’s been modified, rebuilt, changed etc, the list is long. A little warning here, please don’t buy this rig for your teenage son, it has way too much power for someone lacking experience. I would have killed myself in this thing at that age as nearly 300 HP in a 2400lb short wheel base, lifted flat fender jeep does not have a very large margin of error. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
“1948 JEEP CJ-2A, PLOW, SOFT TOP, AND MANY EXTRA PARTS. GARAGE STORED WHEN NOT DRIVING OR PLOWING.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
I’m not sure what’s wrong with this jeep, but it looks pretty good for only $850.
“Vintage Jeep 1951 in decent condition (rebuilt engine flathead 4-cylendar). See attached picture. $850.00 Firm. Email for any questions.”
This list of 30 images of epic failures from Jalopnik.com was funny. I’m sure we could all add a pic or two to this list.
“We’ve seen some pretty crappy DIY craftsmanship before, but these examples take the cake. What’s amazing is these DIY’ers know how to post on the internet, but not how to research.”
Here’s a couple images:
I was playing around with a new internet toy called cooliris (I was using a plug-in version for the Firefox browser) and came across this 1945 GPW spotted and photographed in Alameda, California by Jalopnik.com.
I scratched my head and stared at the hood. Do I like the diamond plating on top or not … hmmm .. I figure it’s there for a reason, as the top of the hood is likely trashed. After scratching my head at it a bit, I decided I liked it, not because it’s a work of art, but because it’s entirely practical. With a strong roll cage, a winch, and other improvements, this 4×4 looks ready for a jeeping adventure.
You can view all the pics here
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1300
This seems like a good price on a running M-38.
