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 .
This year’s Willys Am Tegernsee convention in Bavaria will be July 13, 2019, I’m still hoping to attend this some day.
This December 29, 1950, ad in the Evening Star promoted Sligo Motors, Inc, a new Willys-Overland dealer. Note the Willys-Overland service sign in the lower left corner. I don’t think I’ve seen that one.
Someone’s put a lot of time into this militarized CJ-2A build.

“First civilian Jeep, post WWII. Classic CJ2A with military accents. Fully restored, nicely running, garage kept. For the weekend Jeep enthusiast.”
It’s a project.

“1946 CJ2A #75737
Tub and frame are correct.
Motor is an L161
Planned on removing the L161 and installing a correct L134
Got started – ran out of time.
Looking to sell – $3,800.00
Located in North New Jersey”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
(05/13/2019) Matt’s made some progress on this 3B project, but he needs to let it go. It has the L-head installed, but he does have the F-head still.
“Up for sale I have a 1955 Willys CJ3B project. This is a project that I started and have run out of time for. The chassis is finished…running, driving and stopping including a complete paint job with chassis saver, new shocks, brakes, steering components and a motor tune up. The engine is an earlier flat head (L head) engine rather than the original overhead valve (F head). Still a great running engine. I do have an original F head engine I could swap into it if you really want originality. T90 three speed transmission and D18 transfer case work perfectly. The pto system that is pictured on the frame is no longer on it.
This Jeep is at the point where it needs body and paint work. The body has been patched and strengthened but needs finish welding and grinding to be ready for paint. All of the sheet metal is currently just sitting on the frame nothing is bolted down. It is not drivable the way it sits.
I have 95% of everything for it the only things you need to get are seats, new tires, windshield gasket, hardware such as nuts and bolts and possibly a better tailgate. All of the small parts that arent pictured are in boxes in my garage and I can tell you exactly where everything is.
Body tags are intact and it is sold with a bill of sale only. No title. If you are in CT thats not a problem. If you are interested give me a call or text and I can answer any more questions you may have. I am asking $3000. I have more into the chassis than that. I may consider trades for other early flatfender Jeeps preferably ones with original paint. If the ad is still posted, it is still available. Thank you
Pictures show current state, finished frame and what it looked like before disassembly. “
UPDATE: **SOLD**
No pics provided.
“Beautiful antique jeep,must sell neg. Has radio”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Looks like mostly surface rust.
Early CJ hardtop (was on a ‘55). Good condition, rear door glass cracked. Doors are good with good glass. Have an extra set of doors to choose from. If asking price is met, you can have both sets of doors.”
Needs engine block at the very least.

“Clean title in my name 4 cylinder 3 speed. Brand new 2″ lift kit (shocks and springs) included. Windshield included
No trades, no trades, no trades
It was running poorly until the starter quit. This is a Project”
Roger Martin snapped these photos yesterday at the Willys Jeep Rally at Hueston Wood State Park in Ohio. These first pics show Roger’s CJ-2A. His 1947 CJ2A was painted in 1967 and has stayed good all these years. He made the bikini top a few years ago out of a 1951 roll of canvas from the Korean War.
Pics from the event:
J.F. Evans filed a patent for holding and locking Jerry cans on October 27, 1959. The objectives were to create a simple, accessible, yet secure manner of carrying a water or gas container.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
“I have a full aluminum top with doors built with .065″ gage and obviously hand built by a metal craftsman. Fits my 2A like a glove. I’ve included pictures of the top on the Jeep to show actual fit. Jeep is not for sale. I am in the Terre Haute Indiana area. I’m asking $400 but would consider a reasonable offer. I just want it to be useful to someone looking for a nice hardtop.”
This 1957 DJ-3A appears to be for sale. It’s got some modifications, but looks fairly stock.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was priced at $11,500.
“1963 Willys military Jeep and trailer, antique jeep parts”
Over the last couple of days I’ve been sorting through Rusty’s parts and putting it back together so its easier to ship (It sold this week). It almost looks like a real jeep again. I started with the bare frame that Ann and I cleaned up prior to the Alaska trip in 2017.
I thought it would be easiest if I reinstalled the engine and tranny and gas tank for transport.
With the powertrain installed, the body and front clip went together pretty easily. The parts have been sorted and boxed. It’s just about ready to go. 
UPDATE: Travis spotted this jeep. He noted that it’s been listed as an antique, which I would imagine circumvents the Craigslist fee. I suspect we’ll see more of that. One price is $1600 and another (in the text) is $1500. Body is fiberglass.

(10/08/2017) Scott’s selling this driver-ready CJ-5 with some history.
“CJ5 for sale. Old School. Email for specifics. 12k with winch, 10k without.
1977 CJ5. Former North Carolina forest service truck. Factory green under fleet green. 1/2 hardtop. Restored 60/40 bench seat. New Corbeau rear seat. 5 seat belts. 300 miles on gateway mudders. New Alcan Springs. New black Max shocks. New NAPA radiator and hoses, old modine radiator in good shape included. Replaced when I replaced thermostat. New M.O.R.E steering bracket and Borgeson steering shaft. New lower steering column bearing. New battery and starter cables. In process of switching cables to military connectors to wire in winch. Warn 8274 winch with remote, mint. Runs great, great on and off road. This is my camping, hunting, hiking vehicle. Only selling because a sweet M38 is for sale locally and I want it. Motor replaced 3k ago by PO. Newer exhaust by P.O., is solid but not the nicest welds.”
Tom wanted to have some t-shirts made with the design below on it. He’s wondering if anyone else would like some as well?
The price is $20 per shirt plus USPS priority shipping of $7.35 (shipping is the same for one or two shirts $27.35 or $47.35 for two shirts). If you are interested, you can either comment below or email Tom at Lsi24 @ msn.com (remove the spaces around the @). He expects to have about 40 available for sale.
The t-shirts would be a white Hanes Beefy shirt that is 100% cotton with a pocket. The vintage logos are based on the 1950 ‘jeep badge’ logo seen in a few ads. He’s only making a few and doesn’t plan on selling them anywhere else. The below are mock ups, so they aren’t quite exactly what you’ll get.
This ad appeared in the Marion Progress out of North Carolina on February 10, 1949.
Looks in good shape.
