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.
(12/01/2018) I’ve never seen one this long.
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/ank/pts/d/minneapolis-jeep-extendabed/6830422060.html
“Rare Jeep extendabed. Fit older CJ Willys Jeeps. $150.00 or B/O. Would like to sell before it gets covered up with snow.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9500.
“Barn find – Vehicle comes with several areas of rust and has not run in several years by all appearances. The bones are there, but it does require a lot of work to get to daily driving again.
This is a project vehicle. It is currently in non running condition and in my opinion will require an upgraded drive train (possibly inline 6 from a newer Jeep) as the current setup does not seem to be in running condition. No transfer box present. Would make an excellent finished project, but will require work.
Vehicle comes with bill of sale, but not title present. Bonded title would be the best option.”
Mark shared a story about the death of Bertha Durpe, one of the few women who served with the 6888th CPD Battalion, an All-Black WAC unit that went overseas to help the war effort. The photo below doesn’t show the former Master-Sergeant Dupree, but it’s still a neat photo.
You can read a little about Ms. Dupree here: https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article226817444.html
More on the 6888th:
Mike shared this older photo of what could be a jeep ‘dressed’ in a sponge. Anyone know any history about it? The photo is supposed to be from 1964.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $275.
Roger Martin shared this unusual toy. If it is handmade, it is well done.
“Very high quality HANDMADE toy army jeep. All steel construction. This thing is rough and rugged. Has toggle switch to turn on the headlights, battery compartment under hood. Steering wheel actually turns the wheels. Windshield folds down. Has detachable plow and trailer. This thing is nice and one of a kind. I took it to a couple antique shops and they all told me they believe it has a higher price tag than what I’m asking. There just isn’t another like it to base true value off of. Asking $275 ”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $602.
(01/18/2019) Maury spotted this unusual print/illustration. From the description, I can’t quite tell if this is a print or an original illustration. The size is roughly 2.2′ x 3.25′

(09/27/2018) Travis spotted this modified CJ-2A for sale.
https://westernmass.craigslist.org/cto/d/hampden-willys-cj-2a/6829782001.html
“This is a true antique but will perform off-road better than today’s jeeps. This has been trailered cross country and been off roading in locations in many of the best trails around.
The cj2a is a 1946 but runs on unleaded gas and can pass inspection. Has year of origin plate, ruddy security council, marine radio and speakers, warn over drive, 4 cylinder motor, spare tire, winch, locking differential.
Please don’t offer me half of asking price or ask me questions if you are not sure what you are looking at/ getting into with this vehicle.”
Appears to include a winch. It could be a worth a look.

“14,000 miles on engine trans transfer case and overdrive. Buick 231 motor, needs slave cylinder installed I have part.”
The passenger fender is dinged up, but there still may be value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2459526317408094/
“The engine and transmission has been rebuilt and I put a new radiator in it. The fuel gauge and odometer does not work. It runs great”
This has a set of Husky hubs! Perhaps this was a CJ-3A trencher at one point, given the extended wheel wells, but I think the bed is in too good of shape for that to be the case.

Given the cage, there appears to be some value here.

Currently set-up for M38A1 or early CJ-5 but will fit many others with minor mods.

“1951 Willys flatfender Jeep
Buick oddfire v6
Muncie tranny
Runs, drives, and titled in Colorado
Located in Montrose”
UPDATE:**SOLD** Was $10,000.
(01/04/2019) This appears worth a look. The price includes the trailer.
“Up for sale is my 1948 Willy’s Jeep. This Jeep runs and drives great. I recently installed a soft top, which is included in the sale. Also included is the matching bantam trailer.”
As always, Paul’s detailed work has resulted in a work-of-art. Well done Paul!
Paul writes, “The earth has calmed down these last few months so I’ve made good progress on the M100 trailer rebuild. In fact, other than measuring the length necessary for the trailer safety chains and the electrical harness everything else is finished. While I still spent over 300 hours to build the stainless steel box and rebuild everything I planned on reusing it was easier than I’d anticipated. I had no idea I’d need so many 2X4’s but the local Home Depot store was happy to take my money.
This photo shows the jig I made to keep the trailer box in alignment while I fabricated the upper tube reinforcement and rolled the sheet metal before tack welding the edges.”
The upper tube has been fitted and held in place with strips of plywood and 24 6 inch C clamps.
I used a plastic hammer to gently form the sheet metal over the curve of the reinforcing tubing. The C clamps were repositioned often to allow hammer access to the 20 feet of 18 gauge stainless sheet metal around the upper edge of the trailer box.
The tack welds are complete so the 2X4 jig can be removed
The replacement box is bolted to the original trailer frame and tie down straps hold the frame to the work tables. I had to plan my work around earthquakes.
One of the places this Rice Krispies with a Jeep appeared was in the October 24, 1942, issue of the Saturday Evening Post, pg 6.
Matt spotted this jeep board game set on eBay. The only “jeepy” thing about this is that name, but still kind of neat.

UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $12,000. You can see this lift in action at the beginning of this video (thanks to Harmen for point it out):
(02/04/2019) Interesting lift. Maybe a more advanced version of the Farm-Aide lift? You can compare this one to some others: http://farmjeep.com/lifts.html … There might be a data plate on the right side near the pivot.
https://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/cto/d/petaluma-1948-willys-jeep-cj-2-restored/6806419072.html
“Restored a few years ago, with only 23 miles put onto it since then. Yes, 23 miles.

-Has factory installed 3 point hydraulic hitch
-Comes with plow attachment

After WW2, Willys started to produce vehicles that could be multi-purpose. They wanted to build a truck that could complete with a tractor on the farm, so there were a bunch of factory options you could order the truck with.
This one has a factory installed hydraulic lift on the back. This was so you could pull a plow ( which comes with the truck ) or any number of other accessories. It could be disconnected if desired though.
The Jeep also comes with the rear seats and tailgate which could be installed if the hydraulic hitch is removed. “
