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 .
Neither the hood nor the tailgate have a Willys script, so the tub seems to be newer than 1960. The top appears to be for a CJ-5. Not that the steps have been modified and the drain hole removed.

“1962 Willys Jeep CJ5 Dept. of Agriculture Forest Service Brush Truck 6. I do not have documented proof that this was an original fire Jeep but if it wasn’t someone went thru a lot of trouble to make it one. Starts, runs, stops and drives well. Prior to my ownership it appears to have been re-wired and a new generator was installed.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $16,000.

“I have a 1953 Willys Jeep CJ3A that starts and runs good. I have put all new brakes on it and over $400 in other parts. This is a fun vehicle that I do not have time to use or restore. Great vehicle to restore and you would have a great show piece. Or you could use for all around fun and work.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
Appears to have some Husky/Allstate hubs.
“Willys Jeep CJ2 for parts,No TITLE!
Body is rusty but fixable, no motor, has transmission, transfer case and axles.
You old Jeep guys know what these parts are worth and they are getting hard to find.
Bring a trailer and I can load this Jeep
No title available.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $800.
The VEC body is rough, but this does have column shift parts and a supersonic head.
“1946 Willys Jeep 4×4, incomplete, no paperwork, no title, I mistakenly paid 1500 for this and now willing to lick my wounds after a dip in lake stupid. I was told this is a 1946 as it is a 3 speed on the column, and has the two sticks on the transmission.
Lets be clear, I do not need a lesson on values, on what it takes to re-do a Willys, to be honest I don’t need anymore lessons on anything.
What you see is what you get, there is no secret stash of New Old Stock parts that I am squirreling away.
We almost had it running, lost spark and interest when the rotor fell apart, engine block is good, turns over no problem, and is very complete, was told early block as it has an “oval pad” behind the oil filler.
Has locking hubs, and a pretty decent frame, not trying to be rude in my description, oh well sorry my wife doesn’t like me either, so ill get over it. Its like a 1947 1948, and maybe a 1949
Happy to answer any questions that I have not covered, and this is located in BANGOR PENNSYLVANIA 18013
if that’s not in your Gas Monkey wheel house to get to that’s ok too.
God Bless, and have a wonderful day.”
Might be some value here.

This deal should work for someone. A couple extra holes provides ventilation, lol.
“New reproduction Willy’s CJ-2A body tub. The previous owner attempted to mount the tub onto a CJ-3A frame and therefore drilled and cut holes in the floorpans / dash to try and make everything work. (CJ3A frame is longer than a CJ2A) Go check the price of a new reproduction body tub (plus what it costs to ship) and then come buy mine. $1500 obo. Other Willys parts available, specifically early CJ’s stuff.”

“I have 2 late 40s willys jeeps and parts.best offer.”
Will alerted me that the FC Forward Forum is temporarily down. It was taken down for a supposed violation of the TOS, though I’d be surprised if the forum violated the TOS. There seems to be a way to contact the host and appeal this issue. Anyone know who the administrator(s) were?
Listed as a 1950, this may be an MB.

“1950 Willies Jeep with arctic factory top. All glass is good. Brakes work. 4 wheel drive works. Clutch is good. Has been driven. Running on 3 cylinders. Has 1 broken valve. No piston or cylinder damage. $800.00 obo.”
UPDATE: This FREE setup finally found a home.
Most likely an M-38 or CJ-3A engine based on the oil bracket. Great deal.
“This came out of a (i think ’47 Willys). It was running great before it was pulled. just pick it up and its yours. Need space in warehouse.”
I found this M-38A1 Installation Instructions Conversion Power Plant Heater Kit 32 page manual on eBay. It seems a well done and detailed look at how to install the heater kit. Hopefully, someone can use the information.
UPDATE: As Mark notes, and I missed, the truck pictured is a 1954 at the earliest, so the pic must have been taken after that.
This is likely a reprint, but it’s still a neat photo. It also show the early “J” logo sign. I’m not a Packard expert, but I’d say based on the grille on the car in the window of the auto shop that this photo must have been taken circa 1954-56.

This is the cheapest of several postcards showing this parade in Rocky Ford, Colorado.

“1940s E. C. Kropp Linen postcard: “Street Scene, Rocky Ford Colorado. North Main Street showing part of the main business district. Crowds of people watching the big parade on Fair Day. Rocky Ford is one of the leading towns in the Arkansas Valley.” Jeeps and tanks (in background further down the street) are in the view. Never mailed.”
Appears solid, but I’d like better pics of the floors.

Jeep starts right up doesn’t smoke goes in n out of gear and drives I have all the parts to go thru the brake system all parts go with jeep and I have spares,It has 90lbs of comp in all 4 cylls Fun project I can’t finish”
Appears in good shape. That said, the claim that this is “unrestored” seems unbelievable given the CJ-2A did not come in this “traditional US Military” color. Here is a look at the colors: https://www.thecj2apage.com/paint.html
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/wst/ctd/d/torrance-1947-willys-jeep-cj2a/7007725851.html
“West Coast Classics are proud to present an absolutely exceptional example of this apparently unrestored original southern California example and extraordinarily well preserved 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A in traditional US Military colors with it’s 134 L head 4 cylinder “Go Devil” engine and full soft top & bikini top.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2000.
Given this civilian jeep didn’t appear until after WWII, I doubt it was used during WWII. Looks like the driver side frame rail and the driver’s side of the body has been repaired. Still might be worth a look.
“Old army jeep was used in world war 2 still runs good just had a paint job must be a 1940s model”
No pics provided. I doubt they are ’41s and doubt there is much value here.
