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 .
My question is, are the paint spots highlighting bullet holes? Looks like there has been some changes in the rear related to the suspension (frame over axle perhaps).
"Please Call and leave a message at 916-416-3777. I will get Back to you as soon as I can Thanks For Looking…"
Obviously, these aren't available every day, especially with less than 5k miles. A great collector piece!

Updates will be intermitent for about a week as I'm heading up to Great Falls, Montana, for a commemoration of the new interpretive information at Giant Springs State Park. Apparently, my great great grandfather, Anton Eilers, is considered the father of industry in Great Falls (due to the construction of a smelter). The park department sent me an invitation to attend the event as the representative for the Eilers clan. Since I love a good road trip and have never been to Great Falls, how could I resist?
This isn't for sale, but I thought it was too interesting to pass up. I've never seen one of these before and I know little about them. Here's the original pic location.
Here's one more. Here's the location of the pic.
If you love sand, maybe this is for you.
"1976 Jeep CJ5 Built 100% Brand New from the ground up, Every Nut,Bolt,Washer I mean everything is Brand New. $10k 383 Stetson Race Engine, Moroso Oil Accumulator, $5k Full Race Turbo 400, Trans Brake, Manual Valve Body, 6500 Stall Convertor, Full Tube Chassis with Mustang II Tubular A-Arm Front End Suspension and Air Bags. 3 Link Suspension in the rear with QA1 Adjustable Coilovers, Full Floater Dana 60 Rear End with 6.17 Gears and Mark Williams Axles…"
This CJ-3a has a got a few updates, so it may not be a bad price for $2000. The top looks in good condition as well.
"THIS IS A STOCK 1952 WILLYS FLAT FENDER JEEP. IT HAS A F-HEAD 4 CYLINDER. NEEDS A FUEL CELL AND LINE. RUNS AND DRIVES. NEW SOFT TOP. NEW BUCKET SEATS. CALL DAN FOR MORE INFO 253-255-6171"
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000
“Take this jeep to the mountains for the summer! It has many upgrades: 12 volt battery, electric ignition, power steering, Buick V6 engine, upgraded brakes. It isnt currently running but wouldnt take much to get it going. Great project for someone who loves the old Willys Jeeps. Email for more info.”
If you are looking for that MB/GPW parts jeep, then here it is. No doubt it has seen better days.
"this is a early 50s willys jeep, no title, no engine trans and t case are there but in pieces, do not have much info on it call chris at 303.450.2380 american auto. the jeep is in rough shape"
Even though the picture isn't great, it's easy to tell this CJ-3B is likely in great shape.
"There no room to list all that this has on it. You really should see it to beleive what it has. I can send photo to the person who has placed a bid. I also have a matching off road cargo trailer that looks great with the 3B. The motor is a 350ci Chevy with only 1000 miles on it. Lots and lots of chrome, just to much to list here. "
This CJ-2A appears well maintained with a very nice, newer Auger. The jeep also sports the rare borg warner overdrive that mounts behind the transfercase output shaft. I doubt any buyer will offer the $9000 starting bid request. Post Hole Digger. Roper?
“I purchased this Willys two years ago and it was what you might call a parade vehicle. Very nice to look at with the wood trim and rust free body. It had been converted to a 12 volt electrical system.”
This CJ-3A looks in great shape with straight fenders, hood and body.
"It has the original flat head 4 cylinder engine and it runs great. Mileage is in excess of odometer limits. It has new wires, plugs and rebuild carburetor. I had the transmission rebuilt (new gears, bearings, bushings….the along with the brakes (great condition). The soft top is about an 8 out of 10 as far as condition and the body is in very good condition as you can see from the pictures… Thanks for looking…..call me at 928-526-8521 Greg or email me at charger500@gregarend.com"
UPDATE: This CJ-3B is back on ebay (last time was mid may). Starting bid is now $2200.
The beginning bid price is $2500, which is a bit high for a non running jeep. The rims and tires look new and in good shape. Westfall Oregon is in the middle of eastern Oregon, a ways off either highway 20 or 26.
"For sale is a 1954 Willys CJ-3B, "High Hood". This is the jeep Willys replaced the CJ-3A with, by adding the new overhead engine. Being a taller engine, it needed more room, so, Willys raised the hood. I bought this Willys from a man who was driving it back and forth to work. He had started to restore the jeep, (pulled the radiator, front clip, started some body work…) then he ran out of time, and sold it to me. It is not running at this time….."
UPDATE June 21: My second trip for bearings to the NAPA store was a failure. They shipped me bearings that were wrong AGAIN! I got my money back and went online to find bearings. That was a failure as well as I couldn't get anything to ship sooner than July 7. Desperate to do the build while the kids are here, I turned to autozone. Amazingly, not only did they have the bearings in the store and in stock, but they were only $26 (for the same Clevite77 bearings NAPA was charging me $42). Even better, I had earned $10 on my Autozone store card and so the final cost for the bearings was only $17. —–
June 20th .. I was all ready to assemble the engine when I discovered the Main bearings didn't fit correctly. After examining them more carefully, I discovered they didn't work at all. The 'tang' was in the wrong location as was the oil hole.
This morning, I took the bearings back to the NAPA store. After a discovery process of about 20 minutes we finally concluded I got the correct bearing box, but the box had tractor bearings rather than buick v-6 bearings. So, my new bearings should be here tomorrow morning. Because of this, the engine build has been delayed until monday (when the kids are back).
Could be a good foundation for a jeep or spare parts.
" 1953 high hood, solid frame and body with metal hard top, no engine or tranny
have title 500 obo"
This appears to be a good price on a well kept jeep.
"The Jeep is in great condition,has F Head engine,Otherwise it is almost original.Has Roll Bar,Complete Keonig Steel Top With roll up windows in doors. comes with extra original willys hood.Call (916)-813-1188 CASH ONLY No calls after 7PM please NO TRADES"
Are you kidding me? $14,000 for a cj5 that needs suspension work? Add to that it's a pink jeep with "Angel's Toy" on the back and you're looking at a jeep that has a pretty small buyer demographic.
"1955 Willys CJ5 Jeep. It has a 327 corvette motor, 4 speed tranny twin stick transfer case, has tilt wheel, spring over sitting on 42in super swampers. It was painted aproximately 10 years ago,but has been garaged until two months ago, it's never seen mud, but would be a fun toy to have. It has a stainless steel custom dash."
On first glance this looks almost brand new. But, on a closer look I realized someone couldn’t resist modifying it by changing the windshield. At first, I thought the windshield was raised and attached to an added bracket; however, after looking at more pictures, I’d say someone tried to make a CJ-3B windshield fit on it. On such a rare and good looking jeep, I can only wonder why??
“This ultra rare 5000-mile documented original 1963 Willys spent the majority of it`s life on a golf course in Florida. It is believed to be one of the few Surrey Gala models. At some point in it’s life it has had a color change and top upgrade. For the last 15 years it has been part of a private collection. It has never been offered for sale before. It is in excellent mechanical condition and presents beautifully.”
This jeep's been for sale for a while. I believe the price of $2,450 is lower than previous listings.
" 1950 Willys Jeep M-38, Lots of work done. Needs some work,new parts Too much too list. Have reciepts.
Have top bows & Rear seat. 4+4 means off road. Yes, it needs work. But for some who can truly appricate a 1950's Jeep. No it doesn't do 60 mps on the Highway. But is meant for off road use. It takes the right person.
This Jeep run's. Great Winter project. Fun 4+4 Projct. $2,4500. O.B.O. Call Bob for more info. (360)830-9211 will not reply back"
Only 17k miles on this very stock CJ-3A. Sherwood is southwest of Portland. Seems a pretty good price.
"1949 Willy's Jeep, mostly original, runs like a top. Have new soft top and doors still in box, all new brake hydraulics and linings, 17K, 2 sets tires, master cylinder, wheel cylinders, brake hoses, etc. replaced recently. Carburetor overhauled. Runs well. Call Dave at 503-572-9725 or respond to post."
This jeep was for sale earlier this winter but wasn't completely together. Note that it does seem oddly tilted forward, so I'd check out the reasons for that.
"1962 willys cj-5, ,it has a buick v-6 ,fresh paint, 3 speed trans ,welded rear differetial, 33 x 12.5 bfg's, fresh paint and a spare engine .this jeep needs just a little work and it could be a great toy for your family."
I hope all the fathers enjoyed a happy father's day!
I took the day off yesterday from ewillys, enjoying an 8 hour drive with my children from Seattle back to Boise. My own father was in the hospital for a couple days after what appeared to be small stroke, though the doctors could not find anything. By yesterday he was back to his normal self and back home from the hospital. I teased him that if he thought we were to noisy, he could have asked us to quiet down rather than checking himself into the hospital.
On Saturday I took my kids to the museum of flight in downtown Seattle. I wanted to use the experience as a springboard for determining an approach for a jeep museum. While the museum of flight is ostensibly about planes, it is really about people's stories (in the beginning, in war, in space, etc) and our experience as a people and the impact of planes in that experience. Their approach to planes mirrors my desire for a similar approach to telling the stories of the people who owned, used, and named their jeeps.
The museum of flight also offers bi-plane flights and other 'old time' experiences, which is similar to what I wanted to capture as well with people being able to drive an early jeep (such as an early bantam built to spec). A number of people have said I couldn't get the insurance I would need to offer these types of rides, but if their's insurance for giving bi-plane rides than their must be insurance for a jeep ride.
The seller of this jeep wants $18000, though the jeep is not completed yet. Whether you agree with the price, you'll probably enjoy looking through the 40+pics of the jeep and its various parts.
"This is a 1945 MB, WWII military jeep, that has been meticulously restored over the last 15 years. It is 85-90% finished, with boxes and boxes of parts, and everything needed to complete it. The parts used have been predominately NOS (New-Old-Stock: vintage parts still in the boxes), as when the project was begun there was still a supply of original vintage parts, and if a person was patient and willing to pay – could seek them out. This jeep is solid, and great care was even used to preserve all of the original spot welds, which as this is a military vehicle built for combat – it has plenty, and wears them proudly!"

This looks to be a nice baby blue CJ-2A. Oddly, the lower part of the top slopes downward as it runs from the driver's door to the back of the jeep. Maybe the top connectors slope down on the body, but that would be odd I would think.
"1946 Willys Jeep, CJ2A, with a 1969 V6. HEI ignition and oversized Commando brakes. New battery and extra axles included. Spare engine also included, disassembled but all machine work done. Jeep in great condition and in the same family for more than 35 years. Moving. Can’t take it with us. $3,200 OBO. Call 801-295-9464 or 801-520-8083 to come see it."
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
If this runs, this is a great price. The jeep looks like it’s in very good condition.
“1947 Willys CJ2.PTO winch. 4 cy Willys flat head engine.”
Sounds worth a look.
" 1953 cj3 high hood. no engine or trans. It has a old (metal hard top and doors hard to find). ok tub, great front clip, very solid frame-no cracks. both complete axles and suspenion good. could part it out with all the good parts it has, or rebuild it. $650 obo"
