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 .
The hood is really throwing me on this one. It suggests the jeep is a low hood, but the body is 3B.

“1946 Willy’s CJ2A in very good condition, runs perfectly, always starts, has farm pro on the rear, black soft top, all numbers match, transmition stays in gear, original style tires in great shape, title and owners manual come with it.”
I’m guessing this was priced based on NADA. Still, it appears to be in good condition. Note the pipe along the passenger side fender. Any thoughts on why that is there? It does not appear to be related to the heater.

The Jeep forward control is a truck made by willys motors, later named Kaiser Jeep, from 1956 to 1965. The Advanced order models were mainly marketed as a corporate, municipal, military and civil working vehicles.

“Jeep dj5a Runs, drives Message with any questions Not 4×4 Unknown mileage”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7000.
This is an ex-fire truck. It may need some engine work.
“truck has 9000 miles, was a fire truck.
has small holes for roof lights, and switches
rust free, very original
still has factory grease marks on axels
was yellow, then repainted red.
the “cage” on the back is just set there, for my puppies, it comes right off
This jeep runs and drives, however it has spun a bearing. The distributor was never oiled, and it siezed one day here at the farm. THe distributor runs the oil pump, and when we towed it to the shop, and fixed the problem, it has a very distinctive knock in the lower end.
There is no smoke, it was not run this way. It does start and run.”
Here’s a good story of a man named Robert Sines who bought an M-38A1, wrote a story about it on Kaiser Willys’ website, then donated the check he received for the story to his local American Legion Post 66.

Bobbie Howard makes waterproof key chains with Willys insignias. I asked some Facebook readers about them and they all said the product was a good one. They cost $10 and include free shipping. At this point, it looks like she only works from Facebook, so you’ll need a FB account to order them.

That looks miserably cold.

This appears to have a VEC CJ-2A body, but it is listed as a 1949. It also has an early grille and it’s a column shift.

UPDATE: As Rob points out in the comments, this is a 1942, not a 1943.
This GPW is was recently bought and now is being resold. It’s in good shape, though it lacks some correct details.
https://nashville.craigslist.org/cto/d/christiana-1943-ford-gpw-jeep-willys/6937732243.html
“Up for sale is a 1943 Ford GPW with “Willys Jeep” L134 Go Devil engine. I recently purchased this vehicle with the idea of leisurely traveling around town/country side. However, after taking my wife out in it a few times, she’s not “in to it”. Minimal safety features and people into their phones more than driving have given her reservations about about setting foot in it again. Listed below is a description and history.
Bought recently from a man in Franklin, Tn. He had it for 2-3 years and drove it infrequently, stating that he might have put 40 miles or so on it. It mainly sat in his large garage. It was professionally restored not long before he purchased it, approximately 4-5 years ago. It starts, runs, drives, and shifts nicely. Has numerous and desirable “F stamps” scattered about. The authentic-looking oil pressure gauge is inaccurate so I have a universal gauge to show the oil pressure is good. A few blemishes scattered, but looks great. Everywhere you drive, heads turn. I hate to sell it, as I have always wanted one, but wife wants it “gone”. Videos can be sent if requested.”
Seller will trade or sell for $400.
https://newlondon.craigslist.org/pts/d/old-lyme-willys-cj-2a/6929196951.html
“Willys CJ2A parts Jeep. Not a picked thru pile of parts. This is a 80% complete Jeep (no tub) that I bought as a restoration project but then found a better candidate. The engine freely rotates and the jeep includes all major components (axles, transmission, gauges, etc…)
TRADE for a usable set of 5 Willy’s wheels and tires (you’ll get the wheels and tires that are on this Jeep).
Or, I’ll take 5 useable tires (without the rims), but you’ll have to remove the old wheels off the Jeep and leave them.
Or, $400 for everything (not including the wheels).
Or, come at me with a reasonable trade offer and I just might say yes (but, no, I don’t want your Ferrari so don’t even try).”
No pics provided. Sounds like seller has a couple non running jeeps and other parts.
