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 .
Ken spotted this trailer with a really nice truck bed on it.
https://boise.craigslist.org/tro/d/caldwell-utility-trailer/6943291182.html
“Well built trailer. Ready to haul a dirt bike, ATV, lawnmower. Come check it out. Has a sprayed on bed liner will not rust. The frame is super solid heavy duty metal.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000.
(01/24/2019) Looks ready for some fun.
“1972 CJ-6 232 I6 New Gas tank, new exhaust, new Warn Hubs Had Dark Horse go through it all. Hard to come by set top. Have the doors also Only know issue is the exhaust manifold leaks, other than that it runs and drives good Toyo 33×10.50 Tires with steel wheels. Tub is great”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
Includes the windshield.
“The body is fair shape. Windshield included”
Will need some work according to the seller.

“This is an all-steel vintage Koenig hard top and doors for an early CJ5. I bought this hard top set a couple of years ago (?) with the grandest and noblest of intentions of restoring and modifying it to fit my 1974 CJ5. Spoiler Alert: I haven’t touched it and I’m not going to. I don’t know what year exactly, but the doors won’t fit my ’74 without modifying the hinges, as they won’t align. (See last photo) Most of the glass is there, but it needs a full restoration. These are getting harder and harder to find that haven’t completely rotted away or lost all of it’s glass.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** was $250.
Maybe someone can use these.
“134 cu in L head (flathead) out of a 1948 CJ2A. The motor is disassembled and has been checked out by a machine shop. The bore is currently .060 over, crank mains are .030 and the rod journals are .010. The block and head have been dipped and painted. I took two motors to the machine shop and had them pick the best parts to rebuild one motor. The leftovers are all usable. Motor still has to be rebuilt. Motor block with head, crank, cam and piston rods, oil pan, flywheel, manifolds, water pump, fan, and what you see in the picture.May trade, need a Weber carburetor.”
I just picked this pin up off of ebay thanks to Maury!
There are two more, though not quite as nice, on eBay right now (you can make an offer on them), from a different seller.
This gives a fairly early look at the parts available for jeeps; it’s hard to say how many images it has.

Tom spotted this unusual bed. It appears it can be ordered.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2371744186274414/
“Custom made Jeep bed Twin size All wood Just a few pieces we can do”
This is my first time seeing a Perfect Jeep and Parts Company catalog. As best as I can uncover, the company was owned by Bernard S. Forman, who, as owner, copyrighted the name and catalog in 1956. It may have been this Bernie who used to live in Chicago and died last year.
This brochure and the company’s location seems to have been pretty close to Berg’s, so they must have been direct competitors. This brochure has 23 pages and is not in good shape.

Looks in good shape.
https://boise.craigslist.org/cto/d/cove-1949-jeepster/6942992515.html
“1949 Jeepster Convertible with a 4cyl engine with overdrive. Overall nice condition, good paint and no rust. Top and interior are in very good condition. Needs side curtain repair. Starts and drive well. Price is negotiable.”
Tom shared this custom jeep.
https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/mesa-willys-jeep-hot-rod-very-unique/6926380639.html
“Selling my 52 Willys Jeep Hot Rod. This quick little machine comes with a solid 4.3 Chevy, Mustang front end suspension, and many customizations (you will see by the photos). If you’re looking for something extremely unique look no further. This should sell quick over the 4th weekend so no low ball offers.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** $2700. Paul pointed out that his probably has a ventilating windshield.
Runs and drives. If the rust isn’t bad, it could be a reasonable price.
“U.S. Forest service Low time unit. Has been stored for long time, runs like a champ.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was 5999.
(04/27/2019) Has some hat channel rust.
“51 CJ3a. Fully running. Lots of new mechanical stuff. New starter, fuel pump, water pump, carb, fuel tank, lines, radial tires, clutch, was told the motor was rebuilt 800 miles ago. Ive done nothing to the tranny. Body is good from 20 feet away, rust through is very minimal. the only rust through that I am aware of is in the pic below. Top is workable, windows are very stiff. I can recommend a shipper that will pick up in my area. Includes towbar, 17/8 ball needed.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(07/18/2019) Interesting steering wheel.
https://masoncity.craigslist.org/pts/d/garner-cj3/6930643218.html
“1951 Willys jeep. Good condition.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
This has a variety of mods, including suicide doors. But, I don’t understand why the seller didn’t clean off the tree droppings before taking the pics?
“Up for sale is a 1947 Willys Overland Rat Rod. Florida car. 318 V8 on a s10 chassis.”
Maybe some value here?
https://lynchburg.craigslist.org/atq/d/appomattox-1947-willys/6925705741.html
“1947 Willis Jeep all running gear and motor is supposed to run I have never heard it run everything is there 500 or best offer”

Looks like an interesting project.

The frame might be twisted (or could be a funky camera distortion … see second pic).

“has been sitting in closed storage shed for 20 years, ran when it was parked…”
These are the final scans from Brian Chucha’s catalog (see the earlier scans here). I’ll eventually combine these altogether.
Thanks to Maury, I’ve recently purchased a Con-Ferr catalog from the early 1970s which ought to have a whole lot of interesting content, too. I should have some scans of that in early August.
This seller has five of these early CJ-2A brochures for $10.99. That’s a real good price.

“This lot offers the early Universal Jeep dealer’s brochure/foldout as shown. It measures 8 1/2 x 10 1/2 inches. It measures 34 inches long when opened. This brochure includes 14 pictures of the Jeep doing heavy-duty farm work. The condition is excellent.”
This brochure that Maury spotted highlights both the model “S” and the model “V”. The seller is accepting offers.

Looks like the engine was neatly installed.
https://up.craigslist.org/cto/d/grand-marais-1950-willys-cj3a-jeep-289/6940955288.html
