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: Still Available.
(10/14/2021) This 3B was probably a cool rig back in the day given the paint job. It’s got some 4Wheel Parts branded Selectro hubs.

I snagged one of these 1956 Willys Export Wagon Brochures Form W-253-6X from eBay.
Craig shared this 1957 Swedish Fire Truck for sale ion Germany. It looks in great shape. The price is just over $19,000.
https://suchen.mobile.de/fahrzeuge/details.html
Roughly translated from German:
A very rare treasure. Forget all the assistance systems and all the other bells and whistles that today’s cars have.
This is pure driving!
Swedish Willys truck from 1957 with 3.6 liter Super Hurricane 6-cylinder engine.
An old master mechanic did a lot on the car in just under 100 hours.
Main work: The front was converted to disc brakes with a conversion kit from kaiserwillys.com from America. That’s why 17 inch rims from a Dodge Ram are now fitted. The rims were turned out to match and powder-coated in black.”
The description indicates this body will fit a CJ-7 chassis.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1984806521679181
“Designed to fit a Wrangler and/or CJ7”
This modified CJ-2A is listed as a 1949, but has an early grille.

“For Sale!

12 volts, runs good, has a heater, rebuilt starter, new alternator/coil, extra rims and tires, misc. parts included, has a front plow attachment. Needs a new owner for a little more TLC. Please call between 9 AM and 9 PM.”
I took like the sides have been repaired.

“1946 Willy, runs very good, mechanically sound, brakes work, shifts good, 4WD seems to be good, converted to 12 volt, charges, tires good , motor very quiet, no smoking, very good bones for restoration, has a half cab, seats decent.”
Rough, but at least it isn’t crazily priced!

“1947 Willy’s Jeep CJ-2A
Project or Parts. Motor not original, transmission not good. Was running when parked because of tranny. Front floorboards rusted out & bed is in fair condition. Original hood, grill, dash & windshield are pretty good. Was my father’s “field jeep” so it wasn’t registered or anything. Asking $1350 obo. Cash Only.”
UPDATE: Back on Craigslist.
(05/07/2016) Looks like this has a Boston Top.

“1940’s Jeep w/plow, starts runs plows, NO title, NO brakes, off road only. Rare aluminum full cab. Jeep is rough and rusty.”
Might be worth a look.

“Off a 1951 M 38 Military Jeep. Will fit others. All Aluminum except front windshield frame. It had a canvas rear window panel, long gone.”
Ann and I spent a night up at Leavenworth on Thursday. While walking the cold, wet streets (it isn’t snowing there quite yet), we found ourselves warming up by entering various shops (big mistake, as we found ourselves buying stuff). However, one of the cooler items I found was this t-shirt with a “hockey stick” wagon on it. If you like light, cotton/polyester blend shirt, this is a nice one. However, I had to go X-Large as the Large fit perfectly, but likely would have shrunk.
The shirts are available online, so check them out here: https://moorecollection.com/products/willy-wagon-tee-dusty-blue?_pos=2&_sid=a0494a1b3&_ss=r
At least they had the Christmas lights up! Crowds were light, so that was perfect for us.
This is a rare matchbook cover of an early jeep pulling logs with a chain. The matchbook was for the Kansas Willys-Overland, INC, dealership.

” 46 willys Jeep’s one is running but needs work the second is pretty rough $2800.00
No title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
I don’t recognize this fiberglass body. The floor style is unlike any I have seen. It looks nicely designed, with a wider-than-stock rear brim for additional style and strength. It looks to have a Buick V-6 with headers and, possibly, an Edelbrock intake.
“1946 Willy Tk project. Has a fiberglass body. $2500 obo. Title in hand”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Link is dead.
The seller has a variety of parts.
“Willys, CJ2A, CJ3A, CJ3B, CJ5, CJ6, jeep trucks, Utility Wagons and more.
I have lots of small used parts that came of of the vehicles listed above. Engines, transmissions, suspension parts, drivetrain parts. Interior parts, Some body parts.
Get a list gathered and email me you wanted items. I’ll let you know if we have them or not.”
Update: **Sold** Was $6250.
It appears to have a hunting seat on the front bumper. The rear of the body has had a little work based on the rear fender wells.

“1962 Jeep Willys Fleetvan
This cute little delivery van started it’s life in 1962 working for the Post Office as a mail route delivery van. It is on a Jeep chassis, with a Jeep 4-cylinder engine and automatic transmission and 4.11 rear end. It is right hand drive and has a roll up door in the rear – both very handy for delivery purposes. The running gear is good and the body is almost perfect, no dings or dents. 1 small rust spot! The paint is called Torrid Teal!!!! Inside is in good shape. These are incredibly rare and turn A LOT of heads when driving around. $5800 in recent repairs to the motor, battery, radiator, exhaust, and brakes make this thing run like a charm. The top speed tops out around 45 mph, so you’re not breaking any land speed records. There aren’t many of these produced, and even fewer of them left. If the ad is up, it is still for sale.”
It’s a project.
https://chico.craigslist.org/cto/d/nelson-1953-m38-a1-willys-jeep/7399401858.html
“Selling my late husbands project car. Numerous up grades were started but never completed. The jeep also comes with several parts that were purchased or came with the jeep. New tires and spare, $2000.00 of work on engine, $700.00 for Media blasting paint and rust off rear and front seats, and numerous new parts (too many to mention) suspension work I paid for after his passing. I do have paperwork on the vehicle but it was never registered. Please only serious buyers. I do have a trailer for delivery in the area.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“I have a fairly clean tub that the floor has been replaced with diamond plate, frame, hood, grill and fenders for sale. It’s missing the windshield.
No paperwork.”
UPDATE: It’s no longer on ebay.
Well, some idiot (perhaps too kind of a word) has copied a version of the 1956 Jeep Family poster that I re-created (see also a comparison between the original brochure and the poster), reduced the size from 22″x28″ to 12″x15″, mounted it in a cheap frame, and is selling it for $49 plus $17 shipping on eBay. Whether the seller did all of that work or just bought a reproduction of my poster isn’t clear….
Worse, they are suggesting the “vintage” poster is from the 1950s (the content is, the poster isn’t), though the description also indicates it is “new”. BTW, the original size of the brochure was 18″ x 24″.
There are multiple differences between the original 1956 brochure and the poster I created, the most important of which is that I inserted a small, subtle “eWillys” into the poster so I could track it. There are a few other differences as well.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4150.
Blaine shared this FC-150 project.
“Green and white 1960 FC-150 Jeep. Jeep purchased from an estate barn find in Eastern Oregon. Truck is missing rear fenders and engine cover, all of which can be easily fabricated. Truck is complete with minimal rust and has original 4 cylinder engine and all running gear. Cash only or cashiers check if I can meet you at your bank to make the draw.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $200.
Blaine spotted this Ford-302-to-T90 setup.
“Jeep aluminum bellhousing to adapt a Ford 302 engine to a Jeep T90 transmission kit, complete with #906203 main drive gear (long shaft 6 cylinder) with bearing, COAZ-7050 Ford bearing retainer and throwout bearing guide, throwout bearing and throwout bearing fork. The bellhousing has no cracks or dents and all threaded holes are in excellent condition. No damaged holes. Everything needed to mate a Ford 302 engine to a Jeep T90 transmission, except for the engine and transmission. This bellhousing is no longer manufactured. Very hard to find in even usable condition. Cash. Text or voicemail, please.”
