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 .
Doesn’t look too shabby.
“Real nice CJ2A with a Super Sonic 6cyl engine. This Jeep has new brake system, new radiator, rebuilt starter, heater and wipers work. It also has a recent tune-up and great top. It does need tires and seat cushions. I’d keep it, but I’m too large to get in and out of it comfortably. Will trade for Jeep Cherokee of equal value. Dan at 303-934-7507 or email 52Chevy@comcast.net”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100.
“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2A, 134 CI Flat Head, three speed, original 6 volt system with rebuilt generator, split windshield, the Jeep is clean, runs, motor sounds good, drives but does smoke. Jeep has some new parts such as carb, gas tank, fuel line, front brake slave cylinders, master cylinder, 15” wheels, tires. A great start to a fun and easy restoration. No rear seat frame, no top, but some original extra seat parts included. Owner since 1990. Located in Broomfield. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
This is pretty beat up for a $1500 jeep.
“running gears, trany and rear end good,needs some motor and body work, hasn’t been started for a few years $1500”
The body is beat up a bit. It’s got a CJ-3A windshield. Hard to tell much more.
“1947 Willys jeep with full winter enclosure and frame (picture without enclosure). Four cylinder, four wheel drive with lockout hubs. Needs starter drive. “
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000
There’s only one pic, but I don’t see any major rust. This might be a good deal.
“1960 Willys FC170 – Rare Project Truck – Runs but needs throttle cable. Only reason I am selling is to repair transmission on other truck.”
This is a great price on a couple of 15″ x 12″ with a 5 on 51/2 bolt pattern.
“This is a pair of (two) chrome modular wheels. They are 12 inches wide with a 15 inch rim. The backspacing is 4 inches, in other words, the wheels are 8 inches deep to the center on the outside and 4 inches deep on the inside. They are in very good shape, no rust or scratches. The do not come with center caps or lug nuts. These have a 5 on 5.5 inch bolt pattern…”
This is an early, rough MB up for auction in Hoquiam.
“this jeep has potential but does not run the flat head needs gaskets ect. i have the top and doors to go with it”
UPDATE: I have discovered a theme. There’s an Ad from Los Angeles Craigslist and an Ad from Orange County Craigslist to go along with the original San Diego Ad I show posted at the bottom. I’ve put them all together, as a suspect the seller is the same for each, and I think I’ve got a bigger picture now ….
San Diego Ad –> Title = Willys Jeep …………………. Ad Text = “non op”
Long Beach Ad –> Title = o]]]]]]]]]o ’46 willys ……. Ad Text = “bring your truck, lots of parts I need to clear out.”
Orange County Ad –> Title = ’46 willys ………………. Ad Text = “you put it together”
So, the seller has a non op 1946 willys cj-2a that’s in many parts. The seller expects you to put it together. The seller suggests you bring a truck. I suggest you offer the seller very little cash for all the effort you will expend putting humpty dumpty back together again.

My original post is below:
This Ad which comes from of San Diego is for a “Willys Jeep”. The text of the ad, in its entirety, is “non op”. There’s no pictures, no year, no model. Maybe it’s a deal? Maybe it’s a waste of time? It made me laugh …
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
“1947 CJ2A. 400chev V8,t-90 trans.twin stick transfer,4Wdisc brakes,dual tanks,Best Top with doors,new tires and wheels…runs excellent..body good,new drive lines and spring assemblys.consider part trade??? mostly cash.”
UPDATE: this nice flattie is still available.
The Chevy 181 appears to be a 3.0 Liter Marine engine, which is likely a nice 4cyl for the jeep. This jeep is likely worth a closer look.
“1951 Willys Flatfender Jeep in great shape. Chevy 181 4 cylinder engine with a synchronized 3 speed transmission and split- stick transfer case. New 12.50 x 33 swampers with 410 gears and locker. 9,000 lb. Warn winch. $4200 (Best offer). For more information, please call (253) 208-6515 or (253) 884-8057”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750
The Husky Overdrives are very rare. Here are some overdrive links.
“For sale: T90 Transmission, Dana 18 Transfer Case, & Husky overdrive out of a 1962 Willy’s Jeep CJ5. Comes with a bell housing and adaptor for a small block Chevy if you want it. All worked when pulled a couple of years ago. Dana 18 overdrives are hard to come by. Husky copied Warns overdrive until Warn sued them and they had to stop. They are supposed to be just as good as the Warn unit.
There are a TON of great pictures of this Surrey. I don’t think I’ve seen this Surrey listed previously, but I might have missed it; it looks like no expense was spared in it’s restoration.
“Purchaced by Wayne Davis because his wife liked the way it looked, this Gala-Surrey was purchaced at a small Jeep dealer in Cleveland, Texas, a full restoration began with an unlimited budget. The car was brought back to its original color scheme of pink and white as no detail was overlooked. The end result revealed a car ready for any show. Contact Jose at 281 497 1000 with questions about this Jeep”
Here’s a great price on an imperfect stainless windshield.
“Willys JEEP 3B HIHOOD WINDSHIELD FRAME IN GOOD SHAPE NEEDS TO BE CLEANED UP AND NEW UNDER GASKET WIPER MOTORS DO WORK COULD USE NEW BLADES.THIS IS ALL STAINLESS WINDSHIELD FRAME I THINK IT IS A REPO NOT A WILLYS.$350.00 O.B.O”
The rust doesn’t look all that bad. This might be a decent price for it.
“This is a 1957 jeep fc 150. its all original but has some things missing and a little rust. things missing that i noticed are the distributar and speedometer. the passenger door is damage but could be fixed by a body guy, some rust but will be surface only and could all be taken off when sandblasted, nothing that bad, i would suggest removing the bed and cab to go through it, these trucks are very easy to pull apart. its got the original engine and was running about ten years ago. most of the parts are willy’s jeep and can be bought still through local dealers. the seats are there and there’s a few extra heads in the bed. i noticed a bunch of spare parts in the bed, i will get an inventory soon. call me if your interested, ill try to answer any questions, erik, 916-218-9187, $ is negotiable and i will deliver it!!…”
This seller is open to trades, including ex-wives — not exactly sure how that works …
“I have a 1944 Willy’s MB Jeep, AS you can tell from the photo it’s been sitting for a while. It was in great running order when I parked it so it would take some TLC to fire it up again. Great Project . MADE IN AMERICA ! Also have an EXTRA MOTOR, 2 fenders, front grill, hood, hood has a hole cut in it though. So i will be accepting any offers and or trades,other vehicles , skilled labor,landscaping, ex wives, etc. Let me know.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
“Here is a 1945 Jeep willys MB, it has a 327cu motor runs fine with a 4spd trans, 1976 CJ axles, 33″ tires, needs slave cylinder for clutch. it is a great four wheeler, stump puller, or ranch mule, will smoke all four tires any time, we have never got it stuck.”
I’m not sure if this is a warn overdrive or not. No pics and little description. I’ve emailed the seller to learn more.
“m38a1 jeep overdrive ”
Interestingly, the body appears to be a MB/GPW, but the driver side cutouts are missing. So, I suspect there’s been some body work done at some point.
“85% RESTORED RUNNING WITH V6 AND 1-1/2 DINA TRANS AN TRANSFER CASE”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
Who needs a bored out monster engine to climb rocks? I’m always amazed at these modified jeeps that still run L-head engines. This CJ-2A looks to be wearing an MB/GPW body.
“Runs excellent, very mechanically sound. Features: Original L head four cylinder, power steering, 12 volt system with new alternator, brand new electronic ignition, new water pump, new wheel cylinders, 8000lb warn winch, both axles fully locked, lock right locker in front axle, detroit locker in rear axle, front axle completely rebuilt, highlift jack and more!! Have receipts.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4900.
This jeep looks very straight and nicely accented. It has some interesting headlight bezels. It also apepars to have an overdrive setup.
“1949 Jeep Willys CJ2A in excellent condition. Beautiful charcoal grey exterior with purple accent stripe. 6 cylinder engine runs good and transmission shifts good too. 4 wheel drive works like it should. New tires and wheels. A very respectable Willys. Must see to appreciate. We have never driven it in rain or snow. Usually sits inside our barn and has antique insurance on it. Could take to shows if you wanted to.”
UPDATE: The price has dropped to $1500. It’s been for sale since June. There are more pics this time. It looks like it’s in pretty decent shape.
“Runs great/original Needs brake line. Call Mike @303-913-6453, leave msg if no answer.”
This ad made me laugh, because the seller claims this “body has not rust”. Now, the hat channels may in fact be in great condition and maybe it’s just my eyes, but isn’t there rust on this body?
“Great project or parts Jeep.No engine,trans or hood.One of the nicest body tubs I have ever seen.This body has no rust out,even the hat channels are solid.It’s a rolling chassis on 16″ wheels.Put your drivetrain in it or use the body on your Willys.No sense spending alot of time and money fixing up a rusty Jeep when you can get a rust free one.$750.858-705-1878”
Need some cheap 12″ x 15″ rims? Here’s two of them along with two 10″ x 15″ rims.
“I have 4 of these 15″ wheels. These fit the old style DANA 44 axles. They are for some big mud tires. Two measure 10″ wide for the front and two measute 12″ wide for the back they have deep offsets. They would be perfect for Super Swampers, Terra Tires, Boggers, or any Mudders. Please call Stuart at (360) 698-2384.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $900.
“1951 Willys 4X4 Jeep Project. Solid body, Floors been replaced. No engine. Nice project”
UPDATE: The price on this jeep has dropped to $2500. **SOLD**
I was driving through Caldwell the other day and the dealer was just parking this jeep as I sped by the lot. So, I couldn’t resist turning into the lot to take some pics. Of course, after walking up to the jeep, it took only a couple seconds for a sales guy to come over and offer his help. He tried making a couple points about the jeep, which I gently pointed out were incorrect. I then provided him with some information about the year of the jeep and how it differed from a military version. He got quiet after that. Though I didn’t tell him, I would say it’s way over priced. I wouldn’t pay more than $1500 for it as, for starters, the front of the frame at the point of the grille on both sides has been welded, re-welded, and cross welded. Here’s some pics.
