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 April 30, 1950, ad in the Evening Star is another example of Willys-Overland seemingly targeting the same demographic for both vehicles. And that seems to be a reasonable approach. I haven’t investigated how often the company did this in their advertising yet.
Maury spotted these schematic drawings for sale of various Willys Jeep vehicles on eBay. Each appears to be 8.5″ x 11″.

“A true barn find. 1953 Willys Jeep that has been stored in a shed for 30 years. Starts right up and runs great. Also has an extra set of tires that goes with it. Will sell for $3500 or best offer.”

“1948 Willys, CJ-2A. Rebuilt 4 cylinder “Go-Devil” Motor, transmission, transfer case, front and rear axles. New exhaust system including manifold , driveshaft, clutch, brake shoes, brake drums, brake lines, master cylinder, all pedals, water pump, all gauges, distributor, coil ,front axel shafts, wiring, front and rear leaf springs, leaf spring shackles, shocks and much, much more.
This Willys uses the original 6 volt system via a 6 volt alternator, working 6 volt generator comes with purchase. Also using a Saturn overdrive but have the original PTO that will also come with. Many spare parts will also come along with this Willys.
You are basically buying a new 1948 CJ-2A that runs and drives just like it should.
Have receipts for everything.
Down side…does need a new paint job and the reason I am selling is that the leg room is to short for me. If you are over 5 ft 10 in you should strongly look into a
CJ-3A as its driver seat is back 2 more inches.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4250.
(03/13/2020) Runs. Has some Cutlas Powerlock hubs.
“1946 Willy’s CJ2A. Mostly original. Runs and drives! New fuel pump and brake master cylinder. The old flat head 4 still fires right up. She’s pretty rough and has some rust but really not too bad for being 74 years old! I intended to do a full restoration but life has gotten in the way and I have to let her go.”
Lots of new parts, but still needs work.

(12/04/2019) If it still runs, it’s not well loved.

“1948, Willis jeep, grey, good running ,new windshield,lots of fun jeep”
UPDATE: Sold. Was $2700.
Looks like a great price.
“1947 Willys Jeep With a Buick V6 It’s a lot of fun just need the space Freed up”
UPDATE III: **SOLD** Was $1552.
UPDATE II: The header has been corrected. It’s actually a GPW. I’ve also added some additional pics:
UPDATE: It appears this may be a USMC-modified based on the Holden design, rather than an actual Holden. This may explain why Frank isn’t seeing details he’s expecting to see (see comments)?
A person I trust has checked this out and confirms it’s a USMC Holden. But, it’s rough, too.
“42 MB prior marine ambulance. Open to offers. Have extra parts and pieces available. In Redding Ca. On a non op also have a rolling CJ 2a with no engine but have plenty of trans and transfer cases. Would like to make a deal on all of it I have.”
A big thanks to Barney Goodwin (of Barneys Jeep Parts) for sending me this early edition of the Kaiser Willys News. This is issue #3. A couple interesting things about this issue. Perhaps the biggest curiosity is that there isn’t much related to jeeps in this issue, confirming that even by early 1954 there was still a lot of integration still going on. Issue #2, seen in the post below, also didn’t have much information related to jeeps. Volume 4 of the newspaper, which appeared in May (and can be seen below the #2 issue), had a few more jeep specific references.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay. This is a March 1, 1954, issue of Kaiser Willys News (issue #2)
There is some jeep info in the newspaper, but mostly its about the cars.
This May 1954 issue of Kaiser Willys News is one I only have available in these smaller pics snagged off eBay back in 2013. There is a story about the Yakima ridge runners and the Jeep Rodeo, but it’s too small to read.
Here’s a shoutout to Barney for the Kaiser Willys Newspaper seen at top.
Not sure about the price, but a fun idea.

“1950’s Willys Showroom. 1/43 “O” scale. Homebuilt as shown. 2 vehicles included. Removeable roof to reveal detailed interior. Nice display piece OR use on your layout.Total footprint of model 17 1/2x 13″ $150. will consider delivery,local–no shipping. P.M. for cell and details”
Hank’s got these two items for sale. Contact him at ehr21755 @ yahoo.com (remove the spaces around the @). If you send an email and don’t receive one back in a day or so, let me know. He had a problem seeing emails I sent, but we’ve got that straightened out.
“Cleaning house and like to sale these two items. Fiberglass body $300 with fenders. I do not want to ship but maybe we can work out a deal.”
The cab will come off the body or they can have that too. $250 for the cab.
Could be worth a look.

“New Price! 1957 Willys Jeep 4 cyl 3 speed runs and drives great. Great little jeep to have some fun with. Body is really nice for it’s age. Contact me for more info. If the listing up it still for sale. Make an offer. Some trades welcome.”

(03/17/2020) Missing a parking light and windshield wipers at the very least.

“Working good cj3b 4 cylinder hurricane engine, 3 speed transmission, also I have the soft top and doors and clean title”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
The engine is from Kaiser-Frazer, so isn’t original to the jeep. I believe the disassembled photos are the latest ones.
“”46″ Jeep CJ2A , 1st year available to for civilian purchase. All original parts to re- assemble. Was going to do a frame off restoration but am going a different way. Comes with a top, doors, and plow. Has the original supersonic 4 cylinder motor. Currently sitting in my garage out of the weather. Would be a good restoration or an opportunity to add an SMC motor to make an off road vehicle. Do not have a title so I would supply a bill of sale to acquire one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $525.
Seller believes this was a CJ-5 hardtop at one point, but I don’t see any mods that would indicate that.
“I have a Willy’s jeep hardtop for sale. The top bolts to any flat fender jeep with a MB/GPW windshield frame. (Excluding CJ 3B) The top started off as a early aluminum CJ5 top. it has been highly modified to fit the early Jeeps.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/22/2020) Seller has a variety of parts, including fiberglass parts.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/126989508668701/
“Various Jeep Willys parts, frames, slide over fiberglass bodies, titles, motors. Sell all or pieces. Tired of looking at them. Make offer.”
