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 .
Maybe someone needs this?

“Gas fired heater for the M38 jeep. All I have is the heater and the duct. located in Centralia.”
Maybe this project will interest someone.

“CJ2A custom frame, boxed, sandblasted and in primer. Gear box moved forward, radiator repositioned, new springs, gas tank relocated under rear. Custom Stainless box, widened cowl and dash taking offers”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000.
Price is a bit aggressive considering condition, but there may be a lot of GPW there.
“No rust
Runs great
Starter converted into 12 Volt System
I have not done lights or starter though
Original Generator”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $600.
(05/08/2019) Not sure how much value is here.
“Old plow jeep. I had it running and idling a couple months ago . Rebuilt carb. Hurricane engine runs very well. 12 volt alternator. Plow setup. Body is rough. Frame looks to be in decent shape. Restore, parts, yard vehicle.
Obviously this jeep has sat for sometime. Bring a trailer.”
UPDATE: Was $6750. Now no price.

“Good condition, not running at this time. PTO winch, new rebuild motor. Good body . will consider trade for travel trailer, toy hauler or ?”
Sounds like it’s worth a look.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/for/d/davis-cj-2a/6895299559.html
“Runs great. Nice body, good frame, good seats.
Four-wheel drive works well.
Disk Brakes on front.
Skyjacker Lift: springs and shackles.
Roll bar and seat belts.
Great looking tires and wheels.
12 volt: Alternator and new battery.
Steering has been converted from stock: works and drives, but needs work:
· Unknown box is loose: tighten or install the provided/included rebuilt Saginaw box.
· Angle of shaft between box and column is too much for the single joint installed. Needs a double joint <$200.
· Tilt column is too short. Knuckles hit windshield. Need to replace it with another longer junkyard unit or a $90 one from Speedway. (would look better too.)
Has a vintage heater in place of a temperature gauge. Re-plumb it or sell it to a collector.
Comes with a new temperature gauge and proper fittings, need to install it.
New oil pan gasket installed: looked great inside pan.
Oil leak at pressure gauge hose: New hose in shipping now, need to install.
Trans drips so you know it has fluid. Could try 120 wt. or re-gasket.
One of the windshield panes is cracked.
Has most of a good top: both doors, good top with one mouse hole, looks like has all bows, maybe missing windshield rail. (I never put it on)
Note the nice custom speaker boxes that work well. Radio works but missing face plate. Plays the included ZZTOP CD well.
Includes NEW miscellaneous parts: points and condenser, original style carb gasket…
Good windshield wiper and motors included loose. (too close to steering wheel) No horn, I may have one.
Original spare tire mount and bolts. lots of holes to install it on side or back.
Bumper hitch.
In NON-OP. Will register if that works for buyer.”
It’s springtime in Austria. Bernd and his CJ-5 are back to work.
“My jeep helped prepare for a classic vehicle get-together (see links below). Today, I moved a narrow gauge railroad switch for the event. On my way, the traffic police pulled me and the jeep aside. Fortunately, they found nothing amiss, so I left without a ticket.”
See some links about the yearly event:
The auction just ended, but I’m sure if you contacted the seller he’d relist it for purchase. His starting bid was $6.95 plus $3.78 shipping.

“This Jeep has been sitting in a pasture for 20 years. Prior to that it was used for farm work since the 1960s. It ran when it was parked, but obviously after 20 years it no longer runs. Lots of rust, but lots of history.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/15/2018) This is a former Melha Shrine Circus jeep. The seller calls it a 1947 in a video, but correctly notes it is a 1948 in the ad.

“46 Willys CJ2A. Old jeep been on the farm for 60 years I know of, needs some metalwork, but all there. Run, drives and stops. Recent work: New tune up. All lights work. 4 new jeep tires and 2 new rims(old wheels and tires in pictures), all new brakes(front axle has been converted to disc with new bearings). I have done the legwork, has a clear TX title and antique tags, needs no safety inspection. Drive it home or bring a trailer.
Price is FIRM, this ain’t Uncle Bud’s used car lot. Great for the beer lease or to restore.”
I’d won this a few years ago on eBay, but never got this posted. The scans are not the best, but I’ll have to wait until later to redo them.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This toy is about 8″ long. Seller thinks it might be a Kempro Kit toy.
“Here is a nice sturdy toy car. Unknown maker. Quite possibly was a Kempro Co kit.
It is well made, and has been played with. I love Jeeps and have had a few. This sat on my desk at the shop. Unpacking some boxes the other day, I came across it again.
It shows some signs of age, but otherwise is in very good condition. Nice hardwoods used. ”
The seller has several of these neat Willys Aero brochures. It’s not anything jeep-related, but it’s a neat advertising piece. This advertisement dovetails with Willys 1951-1953 efforts to push the WILLYS brand. At the start of 1953 Willys-Overland introduced the Aero Falcon, the Aero Ace, and the Aero Lark.

(04/18/2018) Chad spotted another California modified Flattie. It’s nearly identify to three other jeeps (same body updates, same dash, same custom windshield, same Muller custom top, etc). The differences are slightly, such as this one has a black rear bumper rather than a chrome one like the others.
Here’s the ad …
“I’m selling my willys jeep. I hate to see it go but i don’t use it at all. Its in perfect shape. So many upgrades to the small block 305 v8. I don’t need to get rid of it so no low ballers. I am open to some trades and reasonable offers. I dont need help selling it and cash only. No scammers or tire kickers.”
