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: **SOLD** Was $17,500.
Looks good. It does lack top bow holders, but that’s a minor quibble.
“This jeep has had a complete frame off restoration restoring it to its original like-new condition starting with reproduction tub, fenders, tailgate, windshield, hood and grill all purchased from Willys Overland in Toledo, OH. All drive train components, springs, transmission, engine, electrical, etc were either professionally rebuilt or replaced with new old stock or repro parts-all receipts come with purchase. Body and paint work were done by an auto body professional in a authentic Luzon Red with harvest yellow rims and accent paint.
This vehicle has been driven less than 500 miles since its restoration was completed in 2009. I’m regretfully selling this since I have 4 others and I need to part with some due to tackling a major house renovation. This jeep starts quickly, runs like new and is ready for the beach, mountains, ranch, farm or wherever you want to enjoy it. I have outfitted it with new lap seat belts in front and rear seats which were not not originally installed in these jeeps.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $4750.
Could be a good price.
“One family owned Willy’s for sale. Looking for a new family to love. New points, wires, plugs, oil can, master cylinder, running good, lots of new parts. Not a daily driver but a great jeep to toy around in, has some popping in 2nd and 3rd gear due to needing some timing adjustments. Classic Willy and all the intricacies that come with that.”
Video of it running can be seen here:

Drivers side seat, rear hitch, windsheld frame with glass, ect. All the other parts are easy to find on ebay. Great for someone looking for a cj-3b jeep without spending alot of money. No title, but new vin plates can be found online and file for a missing title at the dmv, very easy for a car this old.”
UPDATE: Part 2 has been published here.
Tom and his son are rebuilding an MB and video documenting their work. They’ve published the first of four parts. Here’s the story behind the jeep:
“My parents have a summer cottage in Northern Wisconsin. Our neighbors, who have passed away with the daughter living there now, had an old MB jeep. It was painted violet because at the time Janet’s dad asked her what color he should paint it as a little girl.
The jeep sat in her garage for years and each time we went to visit we tried to get her started. The mice had made it their home, eating all the electrical wires. The radiator leaked, brakes and clutch did not function and we realized we never had enough time to truly spend on getting her running whenever we visited. We asked for permission to bring her back to our garage in Wisconsin, fix her up and return her to Janet.
Janet’s dad served in WWII in the Army and I know he would be proud to see Janet driving his jeep today.”
That’s a bad day.

Another Safari-Kar conversion!
“Good running 1974 Jeep DJ-5 258-I6, 2wd, RWD, automatic, new Raceline Wheels and Goodyear tires, recent tune up & wires, AMSOIL oil, new radiator & cooling system flushed, new brakes, new mirrors, newer shocks, has roll cage w/bimini top, hi back bucket seats, front & rear tow hooks, spare tire carrier w/spare tire, new gauges (fuel gauge not hooked up), wipers not hooked up.
This was professionally converted from ex-postal jeep by Safari-Kar to left hand drive back in the day by a California company. Has some rust from being in CA back in the day but just in the usual fender spots. I have a rear seat bracket, and the original directional steel aftermarket wheels that goes with.
Many new parts:
– plugs, points, cap, rotor, wires
– rubber brake lines, wheel cylinders
– shocks
– Goodyear tires
– Raceline wheels
– oil, water, pressure, fuel gauges
– front turn & parking lights
Asking $2950 obo, too many toys and unfortunately this one has to go!
Its just a fun runaround in Jeep or get you down a dirt road or two. Its not a New Jeep so don’t waste my time wanting it to be!”
The price is listed as “$9”, so I assume that means $9000. This might have been changed to 2WD.

“2.3 Ford engine, runs great. Automatic transmission. Asking $700.00 or best offer.”

https://kalispell.craigslist.org/cto/d/1945-gpw-jeep/6751727298.html
(10/19/2018) “Its finally time to let this one go. I’ve owned it for 7 years. The body is in excellent condition. It drives and runs great. I have a top to go with it also. This Jeep has had the 2.0 engine conversion put into it prior to my purchase. All the axles, transmission and transfer case is original.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
(10/24/2018) This appears to have some dents and dings, but looks pretty stock and solid. It’s supposed to have lockers.
“FOR SALE:1946 original Willys CJ2A Jeep
Clean CA title, current registration
All 3 factory VIN plates and dash data plate in place and legible
Only 2 owners from 1946 to Feb 2018 when I purchased it
Only 4 non-original updates:
1) 12 V system with new lifetime warrenty GM alternater.
2) Roll and tow bars
3) New distributor with Pertronix breakerless kit. New cap, rotor, wires & plugs.
4) Custom left side exhaust pipe, muffler & tail pipe.
Other recent new parts: Master cylinder, front brake flex hoses, radiator hoses, water pump, differential lockers.
Spare parts in tool box: New belt, oil filter, synthetic brake fluid, points and cond., lug wrench & 2 ton bottle jack.”
I suspect this is on a 1947 CJ-2A chassis based on the 81136 serial number. There are a few more than a few stainless bodies out there.
