About eWillys
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.
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 .

“This aluminum hardtop is made by Metro engineering. It is in fair condition. No doors. Hard to find these. It came off of a 1947 cj2a willys jeep. Thank you!”
I was looking for an answer to a question when this “HotRod | Race Car | Drift Car Wiring for Beginners” video popped up. It seems like a real useful video and it is making me consider adopting a couple of ideas.
For example, currently there is no solenoid within the electrical system (I was just going to redo what was already there). But, the solenoid makes sense (and maybe two make sense), but now I have to figure out where to put the solenoid(s). My current plan would be to put them on the passenger side of the rear inside the dog house. That would be close to the battery and the starter, so I wouldn’t have to run the starter cables such a long distance. Anyway, still thinking through that ….
Also, in the current electrical design, there was no safety switch (meaning to force the FC to only start in Park or Neutral). This seems like a pretty good idea to have. But, my shifter (late 1960s Dodge A100 shifter) doesn’t have one installed. Nor was there anything installed on the TH350 transmission. However, Lokar makes a solution that can be adapted to a TH350 (and other trannys). The limitation of the Lokar is that you can choose to have a safety switch or a reverse light switch, but not both. That got me on a tangent of wondering if I could also add a backup light switch to that setup.
Another idea I had was to build a custom bracket and install a Chev brake light switch on it that would fit in the front of the shifter. So, when the shifter was in Park, the switch would be pushed in, allowing the ignition voltage to pass through. But, it would only be setup to start in Park (maybe that isn’t a big deal). Then, I’d use the Lokar at the transmission to control the reverse lights.
Anyway, check out the video. I thought it was good. (note that the wire he has going from the alternator to the fuse box via a diode goes, on my set up, to the tach … so I don’t think the feedback he experienced would be an issue??).
The seller wants $40 (plus shipping) for this beat up four-page brochure, but it does seem a rare one. Given the included picture of the pen, I’d say this is about 8.5 x 11 when unfolded fully.
This wants about $53 (plus shipping) for this brochure. One edge is rough. It appears the brochure unfolds twice. The two pics below show both sides completely unfolded.
“1960’s WILLYS CJ-6 Australian Sales Brochure. VERY RARE. Includes Ute Wagon & Soft Top. Very few CJ-6’s were manufactured in Australia ( perhaps 1000 ). Super rare brochure. Four A4 pages that fold out to poster. Suit Framing.”
UPDATE: Thanks to Mark for sharing images of his yellow Approved Willys Service sign. That makes three known yellow signs.
As Barney notes in the comments, “Mark said he believed the signs were made using old, solid patio table tops, thus explaining the center hole filled with a bolt. Now we know of 3 and also a more plausible explanation than mine above. It is a cool sign for the price and well built.
=========================
UPDATE: Originally published May 20, 2024:Barney Goodwin from Barney’s Jeep Parts just purchased this yellow Approved Willys Service sign, which is similar in colors, content and styling to a sign posted on eWillys back in 2020 (see bottom of post). Does anyone have any history behind these unusual service signs. Barney noted that on the back of his it references Chicago if that’s any help.
Barney added, “This sign is made of heavy gauge steel . It is not flimsy like an import. The edges are rolled and there is a weathered support plank on the back as shown. The rolled edge is painted black. There is stenciling on the back with perhaps a product number For Willys Overland by a Chicago contractor.”

UPDATE **SOLD** Was originally posted August 26, 2020.
Roger Martin spotted this unusual Willys Service Sign at a Portland, Indiana, Tractor show today. If you are interested in the sign, we can get you the seller’s p#.
“I’ve owned this 1948 Willys CJ2a since 2009 and have thoroughly enjoyed driving and working on it, but am in a different stage of life and now it’s time to let someone else have some adventures with it.
Highlights:
• Frame-off restoration in 2010. Sandblasted and coated the frame, replaced leaf springs (NOS) and shackles, shocks, overdrive, electrical harness, seat cushions and canvas covers. Engine and transmission were solid when I bought it. Total mileage unknown, I’ve put about 10k on it.
• Body is original steel tub as far as I know. It has a few dings and small ares of corrosion. Original Luzon red re-painted in 2010.
• 134 ci. flathead “Go-Devil” engine with Solex carburetor and electric fuel pump, 3 speed T-90 manual (6 forward speeds with overdrive split), 4WD of course :).
• I have a soft top and all the bows for it. I’ve been told it is an older aftermarket “Sunbrella” top but I’m not 100% sure. It keeps wind and shade off you, but is a little tired and is not waterproof.
• I’ll also include a timing light, dwell meter, mechanical fuel pump, and some other spare parts and accessories.
My goal for this Jeep was never for it to be a show vehicle, just something that looked nice and drove like the original. It runs and drives well; it’s a hoot around town and even more fun up in the mountains”
TJ spotted this one. It was listed, with an extra engine, for only $3500 (in Prineville, Oregon). Not surprisingly, it sold quickly!
“I have a 1944 Willys MB for sale. pictures are from 2 years ago, sitting outside, It comes with an extra motor and needs work. The Brakes need to be bled. The fuel pump needs to be installed(I have a new one). The seats need to be put in. The front drive shaft needs to be installed. It’s a good starting point but it’s a great starting point. The engine ran with the other fuel pump; it just was leaking fuel from it”
“Tuxedo Park Mark IV. One of 20 White Official units in the Inaugural Parade of Former President Lyndon Baines Johnson on January 20, 1965. Tires inflate and roll. Engine turns”
“‘47 2A. Runs and drives well. Exhaust leak somewhere and has typical drips but other than that very solid. I have a passenger under seat storage container, hardtop and full doors with glass, Jerry can and holder (unmounted) and heater. 8000lb winch works well. Growing young family and unfortunately not toddler friendly. My loss is your gain. Asking $10,500. Southern Maine”
“Selling my Willys CJ2A. It has a clean Colorado title that says it’s a 46, but many things are different and new. It has a new 3A windshield with glass, an M38 sun top, glove box, and is 12 volt. Everything works including wipers, horn and lights. It has a new rear floor mat, radiator, carburetor, brakes and lines, head gasket, tie rod ends, and steering stabilizer. The jeep fires right up and runs great. I’m selling it to hopefully get a WWII 40 to 45 MB.”
“This is a great running 1946 Willys Jeep. I have the proper seat frames that are period correct and will be included on the sale. Located in the Texas panhandle near Canyon Texas.”
“1962 jeep FC170 I’ve got this jeep in 2012 from Arizona .It’s been in my garage sense then I haven’t done anything to. It looks to be complete non running but the motor will turn. It has pto winch and a rare four speed transmission.it needs a lot of work but it is very solid and I have the seats and a clean AZ title.”
