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 .
Seems worth a look at this price.

“Here’s a nice family owned CJ 2 that has good structure mainly due to being inside a garage for a long time. The engine was pulled for a rebuild and that’s where it sat until I acquired it. The parts Jeep has had a little ruffer life passing thru many hands but appears to have a good engine in it as the previous owner was still making up grades to it. It was and still is holding antifreeze in it so I sure the motor is still good. Have a title as well…….
Christmas price drop……don’t need the money as much as could use the extra space…..and my attention could be directed else where hint hint…..not wanting to separate as I will put them together as I have time away from other distractions….
The 75th anniversary of D-Day is next June 2020 – if your not in tune with early CJ2’s.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $300.
Needs work of some kind.

Selling my 1946 Jeep willys cj2a! Running and driving, Neat little Jeep that still wears it’s original paint!! Hardly any rust/cancer! It was a barn find that I had been looking for for years! Floors and bed have no rust holes, no cancer in body panels and frame is in great solid shape with some surface rust. This cj2a is very original and is a perfect rust free candidate for a full restoration or a little project to cruise around in! It has a Jeep f134 in it that starts and runs good! It’s cold blooded but once it’s warmed up it idled and runs good. It has a new distributor, carb, fuel pump and water pump from keiser willys! I do have the original flat head 4 motor (numbers matching) that I’ll sell as well for $250 Clutch feels good. transmission is tight! 4 wheel drive works great! Has a heater. Im into the willys more than my asking price and had plans to do a full restoration on it but after having no time and seeing it sit for a few months it’s time to go”
The Fall 2019 edition of the Dispatcher Magazine is out and it includes an in-depth article by Bob Westerman on CJ-V35/Us. He combines lots of great info from several sources into a six-page article on this rare jeep.
What a great early video showing Mighty Mite testing.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5900.
Appears worth a look.
“Willys Jeep CJ3B by Mitsubishi. Rare jeep as very few Willys by Mitsubishi were brought to the USA. The irony of this should not be lost on anyone. We bombed them and they licensed this legendary Jeep afterwards. 4 cylinder factory engine rebuilt by Napa Auto in Orland. Has less than 20 miles on it. New clutch, water pump, exhaust, etc. Many new parts. Runs and drives very good. In very good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
It could use some body work.
“Have decided to sell my 1948 Willys CJ2a which I’ve owned for the past 6 years or so and have loved. I’ve started a Bronco project and don’t get to drive this one as much as I used to.
This Jeep looks a bit rough but runs BEAUTIFULLY including four wheel drive- would be a good candidate for a cosmetic restoration or just to drive around as-is like I’ve been doing.
Many new parts and upgrades since I’ve owned it including:
-Five new tires and tubes
-New rebuilt Carter carburetor
-New radiator
-New plugs and wires
-Complete rewiring with new wiring harness
-New gas tank
-Aftermarket turn signals for safer road use
-New brake system
-New gauges
This Jeep comes with an aftermarket Koenig metal hardtop from the 1950s- see pics. Also comes with a spare transmission/transfer case I bought as a backup but never needed.”
An M-38a1 with some fire department history.

“Willy’s 1954 M38-A1 Jeep was running when parked 25 years ago and all original. Have windshield for Jeep. Cash only $2900.”
wUPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
Could be a good price.
“1953 willys jeep good condition, used this summer, lots of fun.”
There may not be any value here, as the heat may have left the metal brittle.

“These burned up in the kincaid fire one has a 4 cylinder and the other has a Buick v6 I have a title for 1 of them”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(10/01/2019) This is a parts jeep that’s been disassembled. There’s no fake battery box lid, so I suspect the body is later than 1959.
“1959 Willy’s Jeep CJ6
This is a rare, long wheel base CJ. Similar to the CJ5, except for being nearly 20” longer! It’s a project, but it’s mostly there! I have everything except the axles, engine, transmission, or seats. I have the tub, fenders, hood grille, tailgate, windshield, softtop, frame, and title. Too many other projects, sadly, this one must go.”
I return to Pasco on Saturday, so will be offline most of the day. Probably no updates Sunday.
UPDATE: This ad originally appeared in 2013, but recently I was able to find all three ads.
In 1947, some Queen Anne Jingle Bar Wrappers included the opportunity to complete a jingle to win all kinds of contest prizes. It appears there were at least three different contests and each included a chance to win a Station Wagon.
1. This ad is on eBay, but the date is not listed. The Jingle goes:
JIMMY GOT A JINGLE BAR
HE LOVED EACH LUSCIOUS BITE
SAND HE, “QUEEN ANNE’S JINGLE BAR
___________________________” (fill in the final line)
2. This Ad was on eBay with the following contest circa September 1947:
MARY BOUGHT A JINGLE BAR,
SHE THOUGHT IT REALLY NEAT.
NOW SHE GETS ONE EVERY DAY,
___________________________ (fill in the final line)
3. This ad appeared in the November 30, 1947, issue of the Sunday Star. This Jingle was different:
FOLKS HAVE FOUND A JINGLE BAR
TASTES JUST AS GOOD AS PIE!
MILK CHOCOLATE, NUTS AND CARAMEL
___________________________ (fill in the final line)
This Bud Fisher’s Mutt and Jeff comic appeared in the Sunday Star on August 5, 1945, under the title “Well Boys, Get Yourself a Jeep and Go Places”.
