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 .
If this is from a 1948, it must not have fit it very well. Looks like it is possibly a Kelly Bonanza III hardtop from the late 1960s.

I’m sure some FC-150 owner could use this bed.
“I bought this FC bed out in western Nebraska with the intent f using it behind a cj10 cab.
That project changed hands and directions several times, and now I have an FC bed with no home for it.
I do consider chopping it to make it a different size for some other Jeep based pickup project.
But if someone needs it for an actual FC, that would be best.
It’s not pristine, so modifying it wouldn’t be a huge sin. But it’s solid enough that a real enthusiast might want or need it. Not many folks can say they’ve ever owned any forward control Jeep parts at all, so maybe you want it for bragging rights or to build a trailer for your flatfender.
I paid 500 several years ago, so I guess we can start there. Just my luck it’ll be worth 3000 and I still let it go for 500…”
No pics provided. Could be something or nothing.

“1959 Willys Jeep all original, four-wheel drive, 4 cylinder standard transmission. $1000 or best offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
It’s a mix of CJ and MB/GPW parts.
“This is a great Jeep! Runs and drives have a clear title in hand. Some extra parts are available with it as well. Including some handles for the tub. I still some have some of the paint from when it was painted! There’s also a new clutch, it’s still drivable but it will need a clutch eventually and I have those parts as well.”
Not much value. This has rear hubs.

“Older model Willys Jeep for parts only- do not have title, it doesn’t run- has been used for decoration. Time to move it along.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $350.
(10/04/2020) These warn hubs are a bit warn. These dimpled versions are the second gen summer hubs; the first were the waffle style.
“WARN hub set in original metal case. Dimpled design. Converts your old Jeep into 2wd only while these are installed… thus why they have become known as “summer hubs!” Freewheeling installation to keep your front axles and differential from turning with front wheels. Should fit the CJ-2a cj3a mb gpw probably even the cj5? Don’t know for sure.”
The Dolds’ family wishing their friends and family Merry Crhistmas. The windshield and the passenger step have already both been modified on this jeep.

Has a rough body. Also has a rear PTO.
https://porthuron.craigslist.org/cto/d/saint-clair-1946-cj2a/7242302940.html
“1946 CJ2A Willys with the original 4 cylinder Go-devil engine and 6V electrical system. Based on the Serial Number, it falls in the very early category, basically right after WW2. It runs very well for its age. The body needs some TLC from someone with a welder, I had intentions of getting one and doing the restoration, but life got in the way. It has the original 6V system, Title and data plates match and I am told are in range for what would be expected to match the engine. Asking $5,000 OBRO Cash, No Trades, and will not part out.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
Looks like a Koenig hardtop for a CJ-5 or M-38A1.
“The cab is solid on top and sides the rear of the cab has rust , the doors are both there as shown and are not rusted and the hinges work too glass is good in the doors and the 3 cab windows. The roof and front header are solid the 2 posts, that the doors mt to are ok, just screw or braze them onto the roof and screw them to the sides of the fender.”
