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: Still Available.

The seller notes that 1955 was the first year Warn offered the five-ring warn hubs. Actually, they (both the locking and the automatic hubs) were offered as early as 1953, according to at least two different ads. One 1953 ad (note the Feb 1953 Motor Trend Magazine for example was a full blown brochure, while this 1953 ad below was included in the September 1953 Popular Science magazine:
All that said, and back to the original purpose of this post, the wagon looks nice, though it does have an updated engine.

“For sale or trade. I am gunsmith so primary interest is firearms but no harm in asking. This is a great Willys that can be driven just the way it is or you can pursue additional restoration. Everything works, 4×4, factory Warn hub locks (first year those were offered), overdrive, front and rear PTO with a winch on the front bumper. Dual fuels tanks. Older paint still looks good, just not shiny. Seats were all just rebuilt (foam and covering) in a canvas looking modern material. Less than 200 miles on a completely rebuilt and balanced Chevy L6 250 with MSD Distributor and Electronic Ignition. Starts and hums along very smoothly. Steering is vintage and next on my restore list if I keep it. Need $12500 in cash or trade value to consider parting with this fun rig.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3100.
Maybe worth a look.
“51 willys, engine 327, needs gas tank and air cleaner. Have videos of driving today for those interested I can text them”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $11,000.
(01/04/2020) This modified CJ-2A with the truck-like addition is road ready. The body appears to have some kind of body liner on it.
“Great condition no rust
Vehicle came from las Vegas
Has about 50 miles on the rebuilt 2.2 engine. 3 speed transmission and 2 speed transfer case. Original 2a frame professionally stretched. Only reason I’m selling is I’m ready for a new project. I have owned it for over 5 years. I have over 12k invested just in parts.
Cash price 11k or trade of equal value. Let me know what you have and let’s make a deal. Main interest would be skid steer or wrecked jk”
This has a Sears half cab, plow, and a column shift. The engine is powered by propane.There seems to be some value here.
https://goldcountry.craigslist.org/for/d/cedar-ridge-1946-jeep-willys/7116849016.html
“1946 Willys Jeep project. This jeep has a current non-op, clean title and the VIN matches the title. 283 V-8 Chevy engine. Propane fuel, Hydromatic transmission. It was running when parked. Sold as is – where it is. No offers – this price is firm at $1000. Cash only, no trades. Snow Plow included.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(04/09/2020) This has lots of mods; likely a nice rig for the Cascades. The body looks to be a replacement body.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2510909332511098/
“Willys jeep 3.8 v6, auto trans, up graded axles, limited slip diff, best you can buy, disc brakes- all through billy bobs off road in edgewood… Warren wench, high lift jack, off road harness, power brakes, power steering, tilt wheel, bose stereo, roll bar, lights off road, on board air w/holding tank, interior lites, extra top, bikini top, half doors, water proof trunk, rear rack holds a lot of weight, locking hubs, all gauges, automatic trans, two extra transfer cases,”
I suspect there’s been some body work on that passenger side. It also looks like the rear of the tool box floor drops below the passenger side body edge. I can’t tell why that might be (see last pic).

“1946 Jeep Willys !! Super kool and getting hard to find ! This has new tires runs and drives as it should! And this Jeep does has the good motor ! Will entertain offers of trade up or down”
This includes a rear PTO and drum pulley. It also has the governor handle, but not the linkage on the engine.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/nampa-1946-willys-jeep-pto/7113971718.html
“All original 1946 Willy’s Jeep with rare working original PTO. Needs battery, starter, spark plug wires, and carburetor. Everything else is there including rear bench seat. $1000 worth of brand new correct tires. Restore, or enjoy summer fun as-is.”
This issue is Dealer-Contest focused and, frankly, a little uneventful.
An October 21, 1944, photo and caption of Elizabeth McDougald of New York City highlighted her appointment to “London’s first Negro-staffed club, the Duchess”. She’d been appointed direct of the Red Cross club. Some letters by Ms. McDougald to military officers related to racial issues can be found here. A great deal of detailed information about her was uncovered through an auction purchase and subsequent research by Sherry Howard.
Alan is looking to trade a 1913 S76 Roadster project for some type of Flatfender. Interested parts can contact him via email (kikistj @ charter.net … remove spaces around the @) or by phone 828 406 0638.
The history of this car is that there was only four 4 ever made. One was crashed and scrapped, one was rebuilt and now in England, and one is currently at Goodwood racing circuit, And, an engine is in a museum in Italy. Mine is a replica. Parts are very hard to find from 1913, with most needing to be fabricated, but it runs real good and stops good, and is drivable .
What I am looking for is a CJ-2A, CJ-3B or a rough MB modified is ok. Non running is ok, too, but it must be complete. I can get a trailer to move both items and they can be within 500 miles of Boone North Carolina, maybe a little more covering Virginia, Tennessee, south Carolina some in Georgia and of course North Carolina. I place my value about $3000, but a trade would be preferable.
It my untrained eye, it looks similar to this 1911 Fiat S76:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.
Some nice restoration work on this one.
“Fully restored. Only 35,000 original miles.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/26/2020) Has some updates. Has some M-38 elements.

Could be worth a look.

“1960 willy’s cj5 hard top with doors”

Dan Moreton asked a question that I can’t answer. Anyone have thoughts? You can contact him directly here ttlmidcounty @ gmail.com (remove spaces around the @)
“I have a 1967 Power King Tractor that utilizes the large Square Model Jeep Hy-Lo Hydraulic pump to lift/lower the plow. It has a 1/4″ intake and output that connects to a dual action hydraulic cylinder. The unit is well suited for this operation.
I have a manual hitch and wanted to make it hydraulic. I saw a Jeep Hi-Lo self contained unit UHT 37046. When it arrived I noted it was smaller,( almost square) had almost identical hardware and fitting on top except it only has one 1/4″ street elbow.
How do I connect this unit to operate a dual action hydraulic cylinder? This tractor is my first experience with hydraulics so keep that in mind when you answer.”
The windshield frame appears to have a taller tube attached. I wonder if they were setup to use a CJ top of some type?

“1951 Press Photo American MPs & jeep somewhere in Korea. Photo measures 9 x 7 inches. Photo is dated 3-2-1951.”
What exactly is this item? Is it a tie clip? A money clip? It’s at least 5″ long. It was given away as part of the Maverick promotion. But, what is it? It’s priced at $26 +$8 for shipping.

This is an odd thing that Willys Auto folks might find interesting. I’d think they would have had something similar for jeeps??
