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: **SOLD** Was $2500.

“Suzuki side kick with 46 cj2a body. Real eye catcher. Runs great”
This March 27, 1943, photo and article in the San Pedro News Pilot describe a big event at a Cabrillo Avenue School in San Pedro. Enough money was raised to warrant jeep rides at the school. I can imagine that must have left some memories with those kids!
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4250.
(11/07/2019) Appears worth a look.

This has a center seat, early Free-Lock hubs, and a hardtop that I thought was a Koenig, but for which I can find no documentation. Note the way it connects to the side of the cowl. I’ve seen others, but can’t find brochures for this. Someone one suggested it might be a Western top, but I have not documentation on those either.
“nice project jeep. had a frame off restoration back in the 90s. lost the keys. clean title has trailer as well that goes with it. was driving until 07. has just sat since.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000.
No rust? I’m thinking there’s at least a little rust.
“1961 FC150 Factory pto wench very very clean solid no rust truck Most of the parts to restore it”

(09/25/2019) The dash has an unusual mod. It’s been trimmed.

Some work left on this project.
“I got a 1948 willys Jeep crawler just took it out this weekend runs good crawls just about anything it’s 3.8 liter GM v6 Buick motor to Douglas d6 refurbished head reach Rivers intake manifold has a turbo 350 transmission with a heart speed shifter has a GT steering wheel it has rack and pinion steering has 35 inch tires on 15-inch wheelsneeds little to finish putt switches in I have them comes with extra motor and bunch of parts bill of sale and I started the DMV paperwork to get it registered for green sticker”
I wonder how long this has sat.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1632732343525059/
“This mud racer was built from the ground up. I don’t have a pic of the tires that come with but for the best info I can give you my father’s number. Very serious car. Nitrous system. Fiberglass body”
It’s project with potential.

It looks like it has a DJ-3A convertible body and a DJ-3A grille.

“No paperwork. Jeep has been setting for 20 years. It took a bit to the front. Frame is repairable. Trans to transfer case is broken but might be repairable.”
This might be a Jeepster Convertible (rather than the Jeepster Commando).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1010308446034336/
“1968 Jeepster Comando with a V8 and turbo 400 Auto trans. Runs but needs a carb rebuild and a tranny mount and a lot of TLC Currently non-op”
Listed as a 1951, it looks like a CJ-2A.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/554806062033254/
“Classic 1951 Willys Wrangler! Not many of these around! Perfect project car for those who are looking for one! Last ran about 5 years ago when parked. Needs a good home. I am giving it up due to lack of time. All parts are there. $3k OBO.”
This is a good example of a CJ-2A chassis with a replacement body that’s being mistakenly sold as a “military jeep”.
https://rochester.craigslist.org/cto/d/canisteo-1945-willys-m38/7041418930.html
“Let’s go play Army! I have a military issue 1946 M38 Willys jeep for sale. It has been fully restored and has military issue tires, not reproductions. You can be General Patton. Eisenhower, or Radar O Riley; live your fantasy! Starts, runs, and drives perfect. Come see and test drive. $23,995 OBO.”
This September 23, 1942, photo and caption in the Madera Tribune describe the new way of using a jeep with a radio to communicate with a search plane so that crashes can be more easily located.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7600.
Paul’s got this nice looking truck for sale.
“Up for sale is a nice looking, driving and stopping 1953 Willys truck. Originally from the Colorado area. She starts great and shifts in both hi and low range as it should. Many new parts replaced. New plastic gas tank and electric fuel pump.

Windows roll up and down and doors open and close all new inner handles. I have a new complete wiring harness ready for new owner to install. Headlights work both hi and low. Dome lamp also works the paint is 38 plus years old and shines well but was done poorly when applied. Bed is very solid and has been
Rhino lined as is the cab floor. She’s not perfect but she’s also not 20k. Old school patina look.”
Not sure if there is rust along the passenger side or not.

Engine has a knock.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3009510139078273/
“Great island car. Jeep starts and runs. there is a knock in the engine that just started.”
The engine fires on this creation. Looks like a 3B hood on a CJ-5 grille with a CJ-2A windshield?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/744581559343462/
“1943 Willy needs restoration or great a toy..does fire up..cranked it a few weeks ago..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Body is in “great condition”?
“Rare find willys jeep cj2a flat fender WWII style civilian jeep. Body is in great condition for its age. The stories it could tell. Had a motor swap done at some point in its life and was upgraded to the higher output f4 hurricane 4 cylinder. I installed 2″ lift shackles and 33/10/15 super swamper tires. Also has roll bar and some extra lights. Right now it is not starting and needs fuel tank, battery, cap and rotor. Was running and driving just couple years ago. I’ve owned it since 2008 and hate to let it go. Need the cash for bills and car repairs”
Includes a winch. Could be worth a look.

“Jeep, front winch, 4×4 , 3 speed. , tow bar , 8000 lb winch 4×4 front wheel hub lock outs $ 2,200.”
