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: **SOLD** Was $2900
(11/11/09) No indication as to why the seller thinks this was an airforce jeep.
“1947 Jeep 3 spd, locking hubs ,beadlock wheels or factory ( your choice )New wiring, Top & doors, Disk brake conversion in front. Runs good.”
Ok, I can’t resist … something’s fishy about this FC :-). Actually, it looks in good, unrestored condition. The paint job is certainly one-of-a-kind.
“This is one great little Jeep! I bought this on Ebay almost 3 years ago and it has no doubt been my favorite out of the 30+ Jeeps that I have owned in the past several years. It has the stock drivetrain, 134ci F-head 4 cylinder, t-90 3 speed, dana spicer model 18 transfer case and dana axles. The motor runs good no knocking, ticking or smoke. Original 6 volt system. 4 wheel drive works fine: high and low and front locking hubs. It has a warn winch with a good controller that was rigged to a battery and solenoid in the bed but I have never tried to operate it and the battery has been removed. It has a heavy duty custom front bumper and the rear bumper is a custom tube air tank with a guage and air hose hook up to fill your tires, beach toys or run tools. The tailgate opens and closes fine, windows go up and down and the doors shut very tightly. There are no rattles or loose parts on this Jeep, it is solid. The floorboards look like they have been patched with metal and there is a layer of outdoor carpet for insulation and rubber flooring over that. The heater works, horn works and all guages work. The seats are black vinyl, firm and in great shape except for a small hole in the back of the passenger seat. The inside floor of the bed is flakey around the bottom edges but there is no rust through anywhere on this Jeep. The frame of course has surface rust and maybe some pitting I guess you would say but is still very solid. The rear cab corners have had new metal replaced on them but it is a very solid repair as well. This is the first year these were made and it has the narrow track axles which I think make it look even more unique….”

“1960 willys cj5 jeep. Runs and drives good. It has a fiberglass body with original drive train. It is a 4 cylinder f- head with a 3 speed transmission. Twin stick 4wd with locking hubs. Many new parts including Brakes, tires, windshield, paint, seats, steering wheel and wiring harness. Needs very little to finish. Like mirrors, e brake and the horn has to be hooked up. I have the mirrors and horn, just haven’t had any time. A lot of time and money have been spent, but it has to go.”
I like this old CJ. There’s no reserve, so that initial price is a good one for this.

This is that rare M38-CJ-CJ2A-CJ3B Model … Mixed parts, mixed model numbers, and an unusual VIN Number make this a bit of a puzzle. The VIN is unusual because, according to all the records I have seen, the highest CJ-2A VIN is 224764. So, something isn’t right here.

UPDATE: SOLD on eBay for $2500 just a few hours after it was listed. This was also listed at $2500 on Craigslist originally, but to my surprise didn’t sell.
This looks in great shape. It still looks like a pretty good price given the condition.
“1950 Willy’s Jeep CJ3A, it has been garage kept in Santa Fe New Mexico for the last several years. The last time the Jeep was registered for the street was 1994. I would recommend a tune up and have the carburetor re-built or cleaned, fluids have been changed, engine oil and anti-freeze, the gas tank was drained and new fuel put in. The Jeep has been converted to a 12-volt system and still uses a generator. There is an electric wiper on the driver’s side and a manual wiper on the passenger’s side. It has locking hubs and they work fine. The engine is not the original, and does leak some oil, probably from sitting and not being run for the past few years. The transmission shifts fine and does not pop out of second gear at all; the transfer case also shifts with no problems. ….. As far as payment: If you have any questions please email or call me and ask, I will do my best to answer them or you.
Hey, it runs; what more do you want?
“Up for sale here is a 1947 willy’s hard-top jeep. Bought 35 yrs ago and used during hunting season thru the 70’s and into the 80’s in upper Pa where I have family. The jeep has been stored indoors in my garage and well serviced thru the years. Has a 4cyl overhead valve engine, manual trans and manual locking hubs as well. Recent new parts include: radiator and newly rebuilt fuel-pump. Up grades include radio and electric wipers. Jeep runs great, all guages work well and frame is solid and tires good. I mounted a tow bar to the front bumper years ago to pull to the mts, as you may well know they are factory geared for the off road. Any ?’s call717-818-6392.”

(08/10/09) Here’s a very early CJ-3A with a serial number of # 12041

http://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/1390483723.html
This looks like it might be a good deal.
“This 1951 Willy’s Jeep has a 4-cylinder flathead 3 speed on the floor front locking hubs and tow bar. It has a re-built engine 6-volt system. Well worth the price if you know these kind of the Jeeps. Serious inquiries ONLY. For more information call Julio@ (520)-705-2715”
The pics aren’t the greatest, but it sounds like this is in excellent shape!
“1965 Willy’s Tuxedo Park 20Th Anniversary CJ 5 These jeeps are very rare!!! 225 cu V-6. Holly 400 cfm 4 barrel carb on an Edelbrock manifold. Headers, Overdrive, Full Cage Roll Bar, 11 inch Brakes, Duel gas tanks, Front locking hubs,Tilt and Power Steering and an after market heater. Here are some pictures. I`m going to put it up on a lift and get some pics of frame and running gear for those of you that want more. It`s never had a break or crack in the frame. I even have the original key that came with the jeep when purchased new. It had a single shift transfer case that my dad changed the shifter handles on. You know how those old school folks are. This jeep was set up right. It has a long stroke motor with small primaries in the carburetor for good low end torque and good gas mileage and secondaries for good performance. Its the only 225 I’ve ever seen with a 4 barrel. Not to say they’re not out there. It has 39.000 original miles. With a little cleaning and a nice paint job it would look like new. It has a little dent in the hood and at the bottom of the door. When I say little I mean very little.This jeep was my fathers and he took very good care of it. He passed away 2 years ago and its been sitting outside. It was in the garage for the first 42 years of its life. Its going to be hard to see it go. I would like to see it go to someone who would take care and enjoy it like my dad did. I will send you more pictures if you want. Thanks for looking and hope you like what you see. Steve. My Email is Jeeepin@yahoo.com”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3700
While the outside on this looks very good, the engine is frozen. The seller presents a variety of comparison prices to make the case for the price.
“After much agonizing, I’m selling my 1960 Jeep FC170 cabover pickup (flatbed). Good body, presentable interior, nearly new tires. All original running gear: 3-speed, two-speed transfer case, locking hubs. Hurricane 6-cylinder engine is frozen (rod?). Clear title, current license. This will be a very easy restoration for a collector, or can be a real workhorse with either the same engine or with a 350 swap (adapters are available commercially). Why sell it? Running out of time this year, with too many family medical issues to deal with, and enough other 4×4’s that this one isn’t really needed. Call for more info or pictures. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
This appears in good shape.
