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 .
Might have a modified Porter & Reed hardtop.

“Running 12v engine. No smoke, good idle and revs well. Oil pressure is 10# at rev, so the oil pressure is on the low side. I have a video of the engine running a week ago, but don’t want to go through trouble of starting it now. Includes Frame, fenders, grille, t90 transmission that spins free, transfer case (may not need rebuilt?), 2 axles. Original working starter and carter WO carb. Good radiator. Tires hold air…..The separate tub is sold extra. If you want to reduce price I can keep the transmission and transfer case.”
I’m sure someone with a Kelly CJ-5 Hardtop could use these doors.
https://carbondale.craigslist.org/pts/d/eldorado-cj5-hard-doors/6979572694.html
“Pair of Willys Jeep early CJ5 hard top doors. Both have good glass but will need some cleaning up. Very rare”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $450.
Matt’s selling this complete plow setup.
“I have a complete Fisher Speedcast plow setup off of a 1969 CJ5 Jeep with a V6. It is a 4-way plow not just up and down. It should fit most CJ5s 1955-1970 and probably later ones as well with small modifications. It is complete with everything including pump, hoses, cable controls, plow frame/lift, and a 6’6” four way blade. The blade is in very good shape. It might need a couple new hoses but everything else is all there and ready to go. Asking $450 for everything. Call or text if interested. If the ad is still up it is still available.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $10,000.

“1942 GPW (Ford) Jeep. Family owned since 1970. Very good condition. New bikini top. Price is firm. Delivery possible up to 100 miles AFTER SALE.
This jeep runs and drives very well. It is about 85% original. Engine has been rebuilt and is NOT the original ford built engine. 12 Volt electrical with alternator. It has a tailgate which was on the Jeep when purchased in 1970 and updated with flush mount lights. That, the brush guard, and the bikini top are the only changes in the body. It has been well maintained and used regularly since it was purchased. A fun jeep to drive or a good start on a total restoration. ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $19,200.
This jeep was on the cover of the Kaiser Willys catalog in 2016.
“This Is the Genuine article and a true world war two Jeep. This jeep was on the cover of the 2016 kaiser Willys Jeep parts magazine. This World War II jeep is a four-cylinder, three speed, four-wheel-drive, 6 V all-around fun driving machine. This piece of history starts right up and can run all day long. Call if you are truly interested in this jeep. Tire kickers need not bother. This was a military vehicle so there is no carefax report. So bring your trailer and take home a World War II legend…A Willy’s Jeep.”
Kaiser Willys used the jeep’s image in multiple places during 2016. Here’s one example:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4700.

“2WD Very rare. They only made these Jeepsters from 1948 to 1950. This Jeepster has the very rare optinal 6cyl and 1949 was the first year you could get it. 3 speed with push button overdrive. Has the rare optional radio, turn siginals, and mirrored spot light. This is a very solid Arizona Jeepster and has had only one paint job done back in the 1970’s. The paint still looks good for it’s old age. Has always been taken care of and always garaged. This Jeepster has been in the same family since the early 50’s. Overall in good shape for it’s old age and very solid. The Jeepster runs and drives. Needs new soft top put on and I have the new top. Clean title in hand.”
Lot of mods.

Comes with tow bar and working tail/ brake lights, I have some SBC engine parts but nothing complete.”

Seller is ready to part with this project. This will take an in-person visit to evaluate the value.
“I have to many project so I am selling one. This a CJ2A project. Completely disassembled. Lots of used parts and new parts. More than you need. I spent a lot of money over about 20 years. I was going to use the engine and running gear from a 70 CJ-5 with the V6. Email for what pictures I could get in the shed and a list of stuff you are getting. This is located in Orcutt. Bring lots of cash and lots of help.”
UPDATE: **SOLD**
Perhaps they are more common than I realized, but I rarely see hitches for sale.
“These are off of a 1949 Willys Jeep cj2 ( I think) Bumper, 2 trailer hitch and under motor skid plate”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $5000. Now here.
Looks like a solid GPW with one major modification: the steering box. Though the steering looks unusual, on the plus side it’s got a thick (half-inch??) support plate coming off the frame; also, it seems to have held up well (given, I imagine, this was an older mod). An additional plus is that the builder didn’t cut the front cross member when updating the steering (or so it appears), so I imagine someone could restore the original steering if they wished relatively easily. I think it would make a good entry level GPW for the right person.
“1942 Ford WW2 GPW. New cooling system, ignition system, fuel system, electrical wiring front to back, seats, rear brakes, etc. Has an engine from a cj2a. The engine overheated at some point and cracked. Will need a new block. I’m reluctantly selling it. I’ve spent alot of money and time on this Jeep. It is the perfect restoration project for someone who wants to disassemble it and restore it from frame up. Most of the parts are already there. It needs a proper restoration. I’m asking $6000 and it has a clear title. The price is in consideration of the engine work needed.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(10/17/2019) This is an electric powered jeep that’s listed as a 1942 GPW. It’s actually on a 3A chassis. The tub has MB tool lids, but it has the other hallmarks of a GPW body (square indentation for the tool box lock button and the GPW rear seat setup).

“This jeep is a real original 1942 gpw ford military tub hood and fenders On real original civilian cj3a frame and running gear.
I just regd it. It is fully street legal but just like the original its not a freeway veh.
It has a brand new ELECTRIC Motor.
And brand new duracel batterys.
The motor puts out 77hs power.
The Orig motor only had 60hs power.
It Runs great. It’ll do about 35 And it doesnt like hills but It can be tweaked to do higher rpms or have higher torque. I just started messing with that but im slow at it because of a condition with my hands. I will change this paragraph when i have it dialed in right.
It Wheels good and does great on flat ground. I have a wheelin test hill here i can show u on. extreme hills use lower gears and it does good . It’ll do it but u have to Know your gears to get the most out of it. It takes a little getting used to.
I’ve never seen a PTO bar bent/positioned like that. The trailer is pretty odd too, as it has an ‘exhaust'(?) on it.

Richard’s got a crankshaft pulley. He’s going to be selling it, but in trying to determine a fair price, there are a couple questions we could not answer. So, we are hoping someone can educate us.
