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 .
These photos appeared in the Des Moines Register on March 17, 1943.

I’ve been unable to find any additional information about this jeep. There might be some mention of it in the Los Angeles Department of Transportation archives (if such archives exist).

This looks to me to be a circa-1946 early brochure for the CJ-2A printed in French. It is 4 pages.

1946 cj2a. Power angle plow. Overdrive. Pa title in hand. Very nice frame. Body needs work or replace. Engine turns freely.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
Seller is taking the highest bid for this FC-170. He indicates the highest one is $7000 at this point. It does not run at the moment.
“It was a barn find and I am in way over my head and do not have the time or space for this project. Supposedly it ran and was driven to where it was parked in a shop and sat there since 2004. The engine does turn over but I do not want to actually try and start it with out flushing the tank and lines. I don’t know much about it except for it’s rare and it’s a Jeep. No major rust. Floors are still intact. It’s needs lots of love but is very solid. I just do not have time for it.
Offers are being entertained until Saturday the 15th. Current bids are up to $7,000. No low ballers or tire kickers. Serious buyers only.
4 cylinder engine
Looks like a newer transfer case”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Seems like a good price. No description provided.

This short 25 second video includes a Ford GPA driven into a stream as part of training.
“Various shots of General Douglas MacArthur watching GIs (General Infantrymen) training. The soldiers swing on ropes, drive small DUKW style jeep through river, and crossing rope bridges.”
This REPRINTED 11″x17″ photo from eBay shows a Thrif-T-Van body on an unknown chassis with Kaiser-Willys printed on the side. Anyone have insights into this?

There’s no mower deck.

Fr. Thomas Archer is selling this Willys MB. He plans to send all proceeds to the Church of the Immaculata in St. Mary’s Kansas. See details here: https://www.anewimmaculata.org/.
https://willysforsale.com/ads/1942-willys-mb-all-proceeds-go-to-charity/
“Built in August of 1942 this is an early war Jeep that saw it all, rolling off the assembly line the week we invaded Guadalcanal and months before we landed in North Africa.
I am going to say it needs total restoration as I don’t want to nit pick with a bunch of tire kickers – though others would call it parade ready. It is a good solid Jeep that has minimal rust with solid metal in the floor (one spot under passenger seat. Some rust in hat channels and tool indents though the gas tank well is solid.
Engine looks like it has a civilian Willys head on a pre-war Go-Devil engine.
I put 5 new tires and tubes on it recently. I also added the top bows and while all the hardware is great, I am not happy with the quality of the bows. Still, they come with the Jeep. I also put the original WW2 front hubs back on it and got rid of the postwar lock-out hubs you see in some of the pictures. I have the front seat back pad I just took it off temporarily to accommodate my “front pad” if you know what I mean. Also, replaced windshield rubber and added wipers recently.
Pictures in the ad go from more to less recent. It does have a heavy front bumper with a tow bar that comes with it. Bumper gussets are present and intact though one has a crack. Front serial number plate is still present on the front frame member. It runs, drives and stops fine and 4WD and Hi-Lo work as they should. As I said this is a solid restoration candidate and a way to help a worthy cause at the same time.
I am aware that the price may be considered relatively high-ish but I am not overly interested in selling it other than as a means to help a charitable cause”
Look in good shape. Has a GPW engine.
https://albany.craigslist.org/cto/d/alcove-willys-jeep/7318048941.html

The 3B is listed as a 1952 CJ2.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3515439378534315/
“1952 cj2 has title runs and drives. Body is on a 56 cj5 frame. 5000 takes the running one with spare parts and the old frame as well as the cj5 body with no title for parts. Currently has antique tags and is road legal but needs lots of work as none of the lights are yet hooked up. Has fresh head gasket and got head shaved. 4×4. Fun to play around with but I don’t have time and were getting a side by side. Will entertain reasonable offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
This is a B style Scheneker Plow (you can see some brochures for this model on the lower portion of this post).
“‘46 Willys Jeep snow plow worked fine but Took it off to do my restoration.”
Mark just published this jeep over at warjeeps.com.
http://www.warjeeps.com/mjs/sale21/ad119/ad119.html
“Excellent running and driving military Jeep with zero rust or body damage. The grey primer was previous owners concept of camouflage!! Original drivetrain, military hurricane engine. Hard top and doors. Hard top has a rust hole on the top. The Jeep is so solid and mechanically excellent. 12 volt. Easy to restore to olive drab color and it true glory for very little money. Wheels as you see are not correct but make great driving on street.”
The seller believes the body is a 3A, but it looks to be a 2A body.
https://vermont.craigslist.org/pts/d/bennington-cj3a-willys-jeep/7314164096.html
“My grandfather left me this jeep when he moved down south. It was parked many years ago because he sheared the shaft in the tranny down shifting. Motor did run when it was parked many years ago, but also have other motors and extra trannys, axles, and drive shafts, lights, buttons, seats, fenders… you name it I have it. The body is a 1952 and the frame is a later 1940s. Make an offer and lets make a deal”
Marilyn Monore’s trip to Korea is featured. At one point she can be seen in an early M-38A1. The most fascinating part of the video to me was the sea of soldiers gathered to watch her.
“MS. Monroe on steps of plane waving. LS. G.I’s running. Various shots, Monroe in army uniform walking about. MS. Monroe running up steps to entertain troops. LS. Monroe on stage entertaining troops”
Tom spotted this nice looking DJ-3A Convertible. It doesn’t look like it has the convertible top and it’s missing the hubcaps, but otherwise this seems one of the better DJ convertibles that I’ve seen. It looks like it’s been repainted at some point.

“Vintage one of a kind 1956 Willy’s Overland JeepOnly 1 owner til recently4 cylinder, manual 3 on the column4 lugs (yes they exist)39k original miles$11,995”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $29,500.
Bill spotted this refurbed truck.
“Selling my fully restored 1961 Willy’s Jeep in Fire Engine Red (28k miles). This truck is awesome, we used it to help with advertising our business by driving it around the local towns, but no longer need to do so. The Willys Jeep Truck is a truck made by Willys-Overland Motors from 1947 to 1965. The styling and engineering of the Jeep Truck was based on Willys’ existing vehicles, the Willys Jeep Station Wagon and the Jeep CJ-2. Cash or certified check only.”
Based on the “W”, I’d say this is a 1950-1953 door. Looks in good condition.
