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: Still Available.

“1947 Willys CJ 2 Jeep
F Head 134 engine
Transmission, transfer case, brakes, all gear boxes are in good running condition
Started cutting the rust out of the floor to patch it up and gave up on it, not much left to work with, I think it needs a new tub and I’m not interested in doing that.”
Body looks in pretty good shape.

“1948 WILLYS BODY, FRAME WITH WHEELS, ENGINE, AND TRANSMISSION. HAS BEEN SAND BLASTED AND PRIMED.”
This brochure was part of a late 1940s Willys Overland Special Equipment booklet.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $600.
I have not idea what these are worth, but it seems a fascinating bit of history that might be best put into a museum.

VIN verification was done, have 1974/5 title from Oregon (last time it was registered) that is signed.
The cab needs metal work done to it. This is a barn find, the frame is solid. I have engine mounts, shift linkages, all ready to go in the truck.
I have the last registration paper from the 1980’s in Oregon, where I bought it.

Dualmatic locking hubs.”
Period correct restoration? It’s labeled as a “Jeep Willys CJ-2A”, but the seller also notes it has a cj3b 4-134.

It appears there are two tubs, one of which is a replacement body.
“Jeep in pieces with lots of spare parts. This is a project I will never get to and would rather see someone else build it. I have everything except the fuel pump. According to the guy I bought it from it was running when he took it apart for restoration. The original color is rare Cadet Gray. It comes with many spare parts including a complete Koenig hard top and a complete aftermarket body kit. Have a title in hand.”
Seller calls this a “Ford”, it might be a Ford-built Canadian M-38A1CDN. The grille is probably from a CJ-5.

This is a time capsule, stored for more than 35+ years, expect scratches here and there, no doors.Someone just pointed out that this jeep may have been the exclusive soft top or convertible fastback, why? because the top of the windshield frame has a set of buttons or snaps suggesting that a cover top could be attached there, this jeep doesn’t have the frames or canvas”
Looks like it has some MB body parts.

I bought this a few years back not running as a tinker project. I have had a lot of fun getting it running and fixing it up. I have been using it as a grocery getter around town and enjoyed the heck out of it. Like any Willy’s of it’s age it is not perfect but I have replaced quite a few things so you should be able to turn the key and enjoy.
Parts I have replaced (New) – power steering box, tie rod ends, steering column, new drum brakes, calipers and master cylinder , radiator , electric fan, front seats with 4 point harness, electric fuel pump, MSD ignition , LED head and tail lights, carburetor (3 years old), jerry can, one new fuel tank with sending unit.exhaust pipe and muffle replaced back from headers.

“This flat fender Jeep was born as a post-World War ll 1952 Willy’s M38 military Jeep. At some point in its life it received an all-aluminum Buick V8 (215 CID), fiberglass fenders and hood, Rancho freedom rider lift, 31×10.5×15 tires, Con-Ferr shackles, full cage, unique diamond plate type rear wrap, steps, and dash. It still has the stock transmission and transfer case with PTO. PTO winch is included. Stock axle assemblies, I do not know the gear ratios or if it has lockers/LSDs; however, it does have factory axle tags for LSD fluid required.
