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: Status Unknown. Was $17 + $10 shipping.
My guess is that this Australian produced brochure was probably released circa 1955.
“Soft Cover
c. 5 pages
Printed in USA.
Condition: Fair, no writting, no missing pages, no loose pages, no significant tears. Slight marks, yellowing and creasing.”
I’ve flipped the top image below to make the text easier to read:

This is a seven page brochure, but only a couple pages were scanned for the eBay auction. This is roughly $24 USD (which includes shipping) at the current price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500.
Looks like a nice truck.
“Willy’s Overland Truck for sale. Up an down the hills for fun or down the road. Had no rust before Completely restoring mechanical & body…. Not in a hurry to sell but accepting reasonable offers at this time”
For the price, it’s worth a look.

“Good builder. Missing seats and gas tank. Open to trades. Clean title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Appears worth a look. I used to have this exact body. It made a good racing body.
“I have a uncut no holes in Fiber glass Willy’s jeep flat fender tub , fenders and hood The only thing I don’t have is the grill”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(02/19/2020) James shared this combo for sale. One has a title and one doesn’t.
“1. 1960 wide track 134 Fhead motor. t90 3 speed transmission. PTO on the back. dana 18 transfer case dana 44 front and rear axles in 5.38 gears. i bought this as a complete truck. i have a title for this one. i took it apart to restore it. project lost steam. the rear counterweight is there.
when i got it home, i put a brand new Toyota starter on it, poured some gas down the carb, hot wired it, and the engine fired right up and purrs like a kitten. this was after cleaning the points, obviously as it sat for 20 years. i was going to restore this into my dream truck, but i dont have the patience for this long term project.
to update the mechanical s, i bought, but haven’t installed:
*new clutch kit
*new electronic distributor to get rid of the old points and condensers
*new coil
* new wilwood brake MC, and brake brackets (converted to disk brakes).
*new radiator
*new lots of stuff…..just cant think of it all at the moment. the body is rough, but its all there.
2. 1958 jeep FC150. this is the narrow track version, closer to a CJ. same motor/tranny as above. i bought this one for parts for my restore, but got sick of working on the ’60 and got this one driving, just to say i drove an FC. body is a little better than than the red one. *NO TITLE FOR THIS ONE*
all interior parts are there for both.
i have a new windshield that comes with the sale.
i have a spare set of upper back corners that come with the sale.
i put salvage in condition, but they are both fairly solid, and can be combined to a heck of a nice jeep.
there are TWO complete FCs. i will not seperate anything.
UPDATE: Still Available.
(03/06/2020) The engine was recently rebuilt. Body has some rust.

(10/11/2018) TJ spotted this one.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/247374282949979/
“If this is posted, yes it’s still available. I will no longer respond to the 30-40 people per day asking that question.
A literal barn-find 1947 CJ2A. Good title in hand. Mostly complete and in unmolested condition. Does NOT run. Bring a trailer and cash, or ask about possibly delivering (for a fee). Needs restoration.
Our business is restoring WWII and classic Jeeps. We simply have too many projects, so we’re letting this one go to free up some space. Does NOT run. NEEDS restoration. HAS title. PROJECT Jeep”
Chris spotted this Jeep dealer photo taken in Galax, Virginia, on a Carroll County Facebook page. If you look carefully, you’ll see the round ‘Service’ Jeep sign (painted?) on the building with an extra large “P”.
There’s still a Mink Motor Sales company that sells used cars. I can’t tell if this venture is the same location as shown in in the pic below.
Verne Simons tackles identifying the early CJ-2A in the article posted to Four Wheeler.
https://www.fourwheeler.com/news/features/early-cj-2a-id/
Pictured is a 1945 VEC CJ-2A that’s been converted to a floor shift.
This image shows a CJ-2 jeep with a welding setup(?). The “JEEP” on the windshield coupled with the position of the spare tire are clues to the model. This image is placed atop a metal sign as part of the purchase.

It’s missing a few stock details (pto bar and rear lights), but otherwise looks in good shape.

(05/10/2019) Includes a trailer.
https://toledo.craigslist.org/atq/d/toledo-1960-jeep-trailer/7085786884.html
“M38A1 Military Jeep & M-100 Military trailer. The real thing!
Rebuilt original 4 cyl engine, carburetor, & fuel pump – everything works well.
Trailer has a removeable wooden seat(s) insert and a tubular framework for a top.
Ask price is $7,500 OBO (Verbal appraisal is Approx $12M for the pair).
Cool little piece for a country house, cottage or farm.”
I can’t tell how solid (or not) the body is. It could just be covered with some Western Washington moss.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/cto/d/snohomish-1953-cj3b-cj-jeep/7089921890.html
“1953 cj3b asking $5700 or best offer. Original body and fame in very good condition for a 53. Motor is a 327 Chevy and running gear. Soft top in great condition. Warn upright winch.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $150.
This came out of a 1943 MB/GPW. If you are looking for an alternative engine, this makes a good one, especially at this price.

(03/01/2020) Runs and drives.
“First year after war production. Starts, runs, drives. Needs glass for windshield. Windshield frame and tailgate not shown, but included. Pretty nice shape now, it was a basket case when I got it. No title, but I have bill of sale from previous owner. Make a really good hunt vehicle.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/16/2019) This looks to have an Szekely APU hood and possibly a DJ-3A body (I can just make out the DJ-3A parking brake hole on the dash).

A bunch of other new and used parts.
The fenders, hood, body, etc is not bolted to the frame. I just set them on for the pictures.
I was planning on buying a new steel tub for it or you can fix the one it has. It comes with a title.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(02/04/2020) It’s an early roller.
https://evansville.craigslist.org/pts/d/princeton-1946-willys-vec-cj2a-jeep/7067938356.html
“Very Early Civilian model CJ2A. If this ad is still up it’s still for sale. Ser#18711, ’46 column shift. The frame, drivetrain, and body have been primered. This jeep does not have an engine. The body has had some bad spots cut out and patch panels made. The panels fit great but are not welded in. You can weld in these panels, or buy reproductions and use them depending on how precise of a restoration you want to do. This is a great restoration candidate, still has the column shifter and transmission. I do have other parts available for this project.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3500.
(08/19/2019) It’s a project.
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/pts/d/valdese-jeep-cj3a/7081360029.html
“I have owned this 1951 Willys CJ3A since 1979. So many great memories made with this jeep and with a little TLC another generation can experience the Willys vibe. I took it apart for a frame up restore in 1981 but never got around to putting it back together (military, marriage, kids). It has the original T90 transmission with a Novak adapter bolted to a Buick Dauntless 225 V-6 (has about 60K miles on engine). Frame is solid with new leaf hangers and bushings. The tub, fenders, hood, tailgate, grill and windshield frame are in excellent shape and were sand blasted and coated with a heavy 3M primer before it was stored. This jeep has been barn stored for the past 36 years. Just needs to be reassembled and painted. Includes original backseat and added roll bar.”
Jesse and Andrea made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s FC Round Up due to COVID-19. I believe it the right decision, not because I feared becoming ill, but because I have two health-compromised living with me, so I must be vigilant about not bringing it home. Because iof that, I was about to contact them and explain that I could not attend, which was especially hard because I was going to attend with my son.
This image seems to show a Jeepster Commando version of the CJ-5-camper concept. It’s unclear to me whether this was a prototype design or someone’s custom creation. Anyone ever seen other pics of this?
For this eBay auction, this image has been applied to a metal sign.
