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 .
This French-Canadian ad was published in the August 1947 issue of Le Bulletin des Agriculteurs.
This press photo looks a bit staged, but still a goo photo of the General.

Not much Maverick left in this updated and modified wagon.

“I am testing the waters to sell or trade my Willys. If sold I am asking $24K. If trade I want something equal in value or possibly cash on top.
This 1959 Willys Wagon Maverick was restored a few years back by a coffee shop in southern California. They reportedly spent $30K to get it finished. Unfortunately, that coffee shop went tits up so they sold the Willys to the guy I purchased it from. This car is a nice driver not a show car. It has power windows, power steering, A/C, Heat, CD with bluetooth. It has a chevy 350 motor with an automatic transmission. This thing gets lots of attention. It will come with the original vintage roof rack and some other odds and ends. Car is registered in TX but has a CA title in my name.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This militarized CJ-2A looks solid.
“This is a SOLID 75 year old Willys. Absolutely no rust on body or tub. There is surface rust on undercarriage and engine bay only. Just finished restoring. Body and tub were completely sanded, primered and sprayed with correct OD paint. This Willys is parade and show car quality. Has a CLEAR ARKANSAS TITLE. Starts right up and runs and drives great. 4 Wheel high and low. Good tires. Has 2 new seat belts. Has military fire extinguisher. Included is a shovel and axe as well and
a roll bar if you would like them. Does not include any of my personal military accessories that might be shown in pictures. Email, call or text Steve for more details at 970-6eight9-two85five (970 is my old Colorado prefix).”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Seems like a good price.
“1953 M38A1 former military Jeep. Mostly original. In storage, needs work. Texas titled and registered (expired reg.)
Restorable. May or may not run with fresh batteries and gas. As-Is. I have owned it for 35 years.”
Not sure how much value is here.

“1954 Willys Jeep good project. Don’t have the time to restore. I have taken the front fenders grill & hood off. Can write you a bill of sale.price is negotiable.”
Maybe some parts value here, but not a whole lot.
https://tippecanoe.craigslist.org/cto/d/morocco-1963-willys-dj-jeep-4cyl-2wd/7257857539.html
“Up for sale is what’s left of my Dad’s 1963 DJ3 delivery jeep after he left it sit outside :-((
What you see is what you get, NO title. Too bad, I learned how to drive in this jeep. L134 flathead engine, column shift, two-wheel drive. Rusty & rotted. Dont know if engine still turns. This originally had the enclosed rear; what the post office used years ago before they got what they are using today. I was going to part it out but if I can offload it whole it’s just less I have to do. AS-IS as pictured!!”
Can’t say that I’ve ever heard of a “Willy X Jeep”? Looks like a plain old CJ-5 to me.
https://killeen.craigslist.org/for/d/salado-1960-willy-jeep/7266003825.html
“This is the nicest and most original 1960 Willy X Jeep you will find under $25,000. 6592 original miles. In 2012 @ 2346 miles a complete rebuild was performed on the entire vehicle, costing $11,000. ALL receipts for the rebuild on hand as well as original jeep documents. Everything on the Jeep works as it should. One light switch knob handle is broken. Little to NO rust, tires are in great condition, 4WD works as it should. It is a one of a kind Jeep. You would have to pay $25,000 to come anywhere close to the quality and collector value of this jeep. This is not a Jeep to slap big wheels on and go mudding. It’s just a pleasure to own this piece of history. I have enjoyed owning this Jeep but as with its second owner, it is hard on my back. I am the 4th owner. You could take this Jeep to a show as it is.”
Has some parts value at the very least. Also had some Allstate or Husky hubs.

“Willys ran 2 years ago, backed in shop. It will turn over. 1200 obo .”
Mark spotted this trailer. Has some rust, but could be worth a look.
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/tro/d/shelby-1940s-spen-willys-jeep-trailer/7268333712.html
“1940’s Spen Trailer in Good Condition. Scarce Spen trailer with even scarcer Spen hubcaps. Appears to have its original floor along with the hard to find original Spen hubcaps, 16″ rims, landing leg, and a very nice tailgate. It needs some panel and frame patches or use as is. Could be restored or use as is with the patina look. Great to pull behind a Willys CJ2A, CJ3A, Wagon or other Jeep. $950 No title. Pick up in Western NC.”
It needs some work, but original late 3B bodies aren’t easy to find.
https://houston.craigslist.org/pts/d/stafford-body-tub-and-hood-for-cj3b/7266307155.html
“Original body tub and hood for CJ3B. Quite a bit of rust through in the floor and in overall rough condition. Great for a rebuild, hunting, or buggy project. Practice your cutting and welding skills!”

“Pretty much all stock, my ex parked it in 1998 when the brakes failed unfortunately it also had blown head gasket so #4 cylinder is stuck hard, for what its worth the other 3 look pretty good. It has 2 sets of tires and wheels, new tune up parts under the seat. bucket seats are from mid 60’s GM car. Looks like it has at least 110k miles. $1750. OBO would consider quad in trade. If you are reading this it’s for sale and as the post says I have a clean title.”
Posts will resume Sunday morning.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
“I have a 1951 cj3-a for sale. I purchased this jeep in 2013 and it has sat in the garage since then.

Mike shared this nice looking Tux Park.
“If this was a 24k mile “1965 any car you can imagine” , it would be rare, Now considering that it is a rare 1965 Tuxedo park, its even more rare !!! Selling a super rare , 24k original documented mile, rust free, fully restored classic that is perfect for driving or investment purposes. The story of how Jeep debuted the Tuxedo Park model to lure a higher end customer into buying a Jeep product makes for a great story to tell, There is no better way to tell that story than to have one of these fully restored examples right in front of you, ”
There’s no date or form number related to this colorful brochure. You’ll note that sometimes “Deluxe” with a small “l” is used and in other places “DeLuxe” is used. It may be the first brochure that highlighted the “DeLuxe” model (see a later one here).
Mario posted these photo on Facebook. After using Google image search, I determined they may have originated on the website OMNIA, a site that aggregates digital collections (a site I’ve never seen before … looks like a useful resource for me).
I’m not sure what this is worth. It is currently priced at a buy-it-now price of $92.

“Wonderful artist rendering of CJ-5 Jeep. 1970s in a coffee plantation or cocoa plantation setting. (I’m thinking inspired by the popular TV icon Juan Valdez). Not sure if this was done for Ford Brazil or AMC given that Ford do Brasil built these for the South American market. In any event, this is a fantastic, original rendering on artist board of the era. You can see pencil lines underneath paint. I’m not an artist so I don’t know if it’s acrylic paint or watercolor or ???
Measures approx 16″ x 11″ and is in very good condition for its age. There Issa bit of very faint spotting in the yellow sky area but it’s barely noticeable; corners are bumped but framing will cover that. The blue strip at bottom of rendering appears to be painted tape.”
This is interesting, as this 1961 photo must have been part of the early introduction to the Tuxedo Park CJ-5 trim package concept.

From the site: Photograph of a window display advertising for Jeep. A large sign in the middle says, “Newest PAAR star! New ‘Jeep’ Tuxedo Park, exciting new 4-wheel drive sports utility vehicle, see the new ‘Jeep’ Tuxedo Park in action on the Jack Paar show NBC-TV.” A small picture of Jack Paar is placed next to the sign in the window. Another smaller sign sits below the picture that says, “as advertised on WBAP-TV Channel 5.
