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 .
I think I found this photo on Facebook last month. To me, this looks to be a hardtop contract from Willys-Overland with tops supplied by Worman (based on my discussion in this Worman-Related post). I tried to find out more about the contract number, but all I could find was a mention at G503: https://forums.g503.com/viewtopic.php?t=189059&start=75
UPDATE: **SOLD** Thes were on eBay.
They appear to be Thor Automatic Hubs.
“this is a good used set of 10 spline – 6- bolt lockout hubs for willys jeeps – the screwdriver slot is how you lock them in and out -”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $22,000.
This is a ground up restoration with original, NOS, and reproduction parts. It has no serial number or title.
“Note: This Jeeep does not have a title or a serial number. The engine has a serial number but its not correct for this jeep. It will be sold with a bill of sale only. Don’t read any further if you can’t deal with buying it on a bill of sale only. Getting a title is possible through a title company or through the DMV in your state once you purchase it depending on the laws in your state.
Take a look at this beautiful 1944 Willys MB. (Dated by date stamp on axle 6-8-44)
This started out as a rescue of many disassembled Willys parts from a deceased collector in central New Jersey in 2014. The frame was too far gone and missing its serial #plate anyway, so I opted for a new frame from DL Bensingers.

(08/19/2018) Looks great. Will need a brake job soon. Not many of the Thermador coolers around. Here’s a video of a man talking about one and showing how it works.

https://denver.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-jeep-cj2a-willys/6730027192.html
“This Jeep is in excellent condition. It runs and drives how a new Jeep in 1948 would. It has had a frame off restoration before 2014. The drive line was rebuilt, from carb to clutch, in September of 2015 totaling nearly $7000. Documents can be provided for the driveline work. All the gauges work, and are as accurate as they would have been in ’48.
This is a true CJ2A, not a military conversion. It is a very clean example and gets lots of attention. It is the most fun you can have at 50MPH. If you would like to drive and own a REAL Jeep, this is it. No AC, no airbags, just die like a man ruggedness. You can enjoy this Jeep for a long time to come. It does have 2 lap belts for the front, they work great holding you in while bumping along the road.
The underside is just as clean as the top, showing very little evidence of little more than dirt road use. It needs the opportunity to be enjoyed off-road a bit or to take you wife to coffee on Saturday morning.
The price is OBO and all serious offers will be entertained. I am willing to ship at the buyers expense. Feel free to call or text. Jeep is located in OKC.”
Could be worth a look.

This top is similar to a Porter & Reed top, but has some different assembly strategies. It might be home made.
“1947 Willy’s CJ-2A project Jeep. Ran when I bought it a few years ago but had a bad head gasket leak. I have replaced the head gasket, intake and exhaust gaskets, cleaned the valves and replaced the valve gasket, plus I have new gaskets for everything else. New plugs, belts, welded a hole in the gas tank, new water pump, new thermostat and new oil filter. I have also installed a tow bar. Still needs new battery and the tires are worn. Recently moved and just have time or a good place to wrench on it plus my son lost interest in working on it with me so figured it’s time for a new home. It needs the carb re-installed, fluids, battery and should be ready to run. Has some electrical issues but the lights work. Great project keep for someone to finish.”
This hit something, creating some issues that need repair. This is a project. Most interesting is the rare half cab by Kelly. It also includes a trailer.

“Im listing my fathers 1949 Willys Cj 3A Jeep. It has front end damage. The impact caused the front bumper to be pushed in which caused the grill to be pushed in towards the engine. This caused the radar to make contact with the fan and it punctured the radiator. The impact also caused the body to shift forward approximately 2 inches bending the front fenders, dashboard and it caused the rear drive shaft pop out of the transfer case . The transfer case and drive shaft are not cracked.
-The engine was rebuilt locally approximately 7 years ago.
– All tires to include the spare are mounted on 16″ rims with military style tires that were all purchased new a 1.5 years ago.
– Metal hard top with metal doors
– All new leaf springs & shock purchased new in 2017
– The body has been patched in several areas
Also included is a 1/4 ton Vietnam error trailer
The jeep runs and now needs someone who can lift the body and line back up. Its all there it just now needs some time and muscle.
Clear PA title in hand and located in Trappe PA 19426
