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 .
Hasn’t run in five years.

“Ran when parked 5 yrs ago! Trans removed now! All complete with extra parts! Lots of new parts! Great project! Arizona title! $4500”

Has potential. More pics needed.

Flathead 4 with a 3 SP manual and a Dana”
Just a couple updates. I’m spending the weekend hanging with my daughter at my parent’s house. Probably won’t be many updates on Sunday, either. 🙂
Art shared this announcement regarding this year’s Fall Willys reunion in Fulton, Missouri, at the Auto World Museum.
“This is our 23rd year of the Reunion, and it is open to the public, and all makes, models, and years of Jeep are welcome. If you register for the Reunion, entrance to the Auto World Museum is free. We hold a wonderful banquet on Saturday evening with door and raffle prizes. There are also vendors attending to sell new and used Jeep parts. There is also the Off-road trail rides.”
UPDATE II (July 20, 2018) : Keith provided portions of a document that show the agreement between Karl Probst / R.N. Harger and KAISER.
UPDATE (July 1, 2018) : Barry found a set of specs that could be a match to this prototype. Also, Keith noted that there were 6 different designs from the Probst-Harger” collaboration.
Original Post June 26th: Barry spotted this photo on the Kaiser Permanente history site. The jeep is listed as a 1943 Model 1160 “Kaiser Lightweight Jeep”. I’m not sure if this was supposed to be an Airborne prototype or just a concept lightweight jeep. Henry J. Kaiser is on the right. I think that’s Karl Probst on the far left; Rollin N. Harger might be seated in the middle.
Steve reports that this jeep can be seen inside the Miami-Dade County (Florida) Transportation Building. It appears to be a militarized CJ-2A with some MB parts (frame could be MB) with some diamond plating added to the rear cargo area.
As you can see in this pic, it is claimed the jeep is a 1945 WWII jeep. But, the CJ parts suggest otherwise. It appears the jeep is on loan form the Miami Military Museum at Zoo Miami.
This pic is from Yelp and shows the sign on the jeep and more of the display.
Nice looking flatbed truck.

(07/12/2018) Looks like the one that was for sale in 2017 (http://www.ewillys.com/2017/10/02/1962-cj-3b-woodinville-wa-10000-2/). At one point I was looking at this one for Hugo Vidal to buy and drive on the Alaska or Rust trip.

(12/21/2017) Appears to have an f-head.
https://medford.craigslist.org/cto/d/1948-willys-jeep/6646179689.html
“This Willys Jeep is an 1948 CJ2a. The “a” stands for agriculture, it was post-war Jeep’s first model made for the civilian market.
It has a mid-mount PTO, and the original flathead engine was replaced by the next series, the Hurricane motor with overhead valves. That’s why the carburetor cover sticks through the hood. No power steering. One seat belt
It has new brakes, carb, windshield glass and seals, seat covers and cushions, and runs good.”
This appears to be a CJ-3A.
https://newjersey.craigslist.org/cto/d/1952-willys-jeep/6646932077.html
“This is a 1952 Willys Jeep, its rust free and was redone to look like a military model. It runs great but needs some brake work. Im in the process of doing some brake work and if not it can be reflected on the final price. This is one tough durable jeep and they have a good history behind these jeeps. This jeep has been gerage kept after its restoration. Its in better shape than others that are asking thousands more. It also comes with a fitted cover.”
Has a new steel body.

“Willys FC170…unk year between 1957-1964
This project is fairly complete although the bed is missing (hey, that just means you can go whatever direction you like). Original gauges and mfg ser# plate are gone. Everything else appears to be there. The frame and drivetrain are intact with the original 6cyl Super Hurricane motor.
Wheels have been sandblasted and painted. Brand new front windshield (difficult to source). Cab is off the frame as shown and it’s just about ready to be sandblasted.”

This farming equipment was manufactured out of Texas by the Mcluney & Brown Manufacturing Company and included in a circa 1948 Willys Equipment Book.
Buz spotted this interesting advertisement on a Facebook post.
The bottom is a more familiar photo. I can’t remember if I’ve seen the top one.

“1940- Ford Pygmy during testing at Camp Holabird. The Ford Pygmy is the pilot vehicle submitted by Ford Motor Company in response to the U.S. Army’s requirement for a “light reconnaissance and command car” during the military buildup prior to World War II. It is the only known survivor of the original pilot vehicles built by Bantam, Willys, and Ford and tested by the Army. Photo measures approx. 6 3/4″ x 8 3/4″ ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4800.
Could be worth a look.
“1948 Willys CJ2A.
Jeep has several updates including rebuilt T-90 transmission, new clutch and new brake lines. Repro steering wheel, carb and electric fuel pump.
Motor runs good, has good compression and doesn’t smoke. Transmission shifts good and does not pop out of second gear like may of this era with worn tranny parts. The 9-inch shoe brakes stop, but could use some more adjusting or an upgrade.
The body overall is in great shape but hat channels could use some attention.
Comes with a semi-rare and working Ramsey front PTO winch.
When new, these Jeeps were marketed as somewhere between a truck and a tractor, so if you’re expecting a old Jeep that rides like a slightly used Wrangler, this isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for an excellent restoration candidate that’s very similar to what won World War II, consider this one.
Converted to 12 volt with alternator.
Pics without top are older. Pic of jeep rear does not show drawbar and hitch that is now mounted and included.
Needs some tweaking but it’s a running, driving, stopping project.
$4800 or will consider good offer. Not interested in trades at this time. I don’t need to sell, just have too many projects/toys.
Clear title.
Four cylinder, 60 hp Willys “Go Devil” L-head engine
Transmission: T-90
Transfer case: Dana 18
