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 .
It’s a busy weekend for jeeps in Pennsylvania this weekend. Have fun all!
The Great Willys Picnic will be held Sunday, June 10th:

Buffalo Bill shooting a Buffalo sculpture at the Buffalo Bill Cultural Center in Oakley, Kansas.
Day 36: On Sunday we drove from Garden City, Kansas, to Denver, Colorado.
Sunday’s drive from Garden City, Kansas, to Denver, Colorado.
Our day began unexpectedly. While driving to get some coffee Ann noticed a guy in a 3rd story hotel window changing clothes with his back/butt to the window, and I mean almost pressing up against the window. The morning sun was shining right on the window, so he wasn’t hard to see. What happens in Garden City, stays in Garden City?
As we drove to our first destination, Monument Rocks, I learned I was in trouble. It turns out, Ann had a dream about me accepting a job to do a reality show with Trump and Kelly Ann Conway. Kelly and I had to pretend we were married. For some reason, Ann wasn’t happy about this arrangement. Thankfully, her short term memory is awful and, once I found some caffeine for her, she’d forgot all about it.
We had a problem as we drove north. Neither my iPhone nor our Jeep’s nav system was giving us the proper turnoff road for Monument Rocks. I’d mapped out several times on my computer, so I knew approximately where the turn off was (there are actually two of them, but the southern one doesn’t have any signs along the highway). Fortunatley, Ann tried her Android and it found the turn off just in time. (for those traveling from the south, turn right on Dakota, just across from the Keystone Gallery. Dakota becames 450, then Elk, then Gove E, then turn left — north — on Gove 16).
This photo shows the drive up Gove 16 from the south:
Here’s what we saw as we approached Monument Rocks:
The chalk formations are on private land and several signs ask visitors not to climb the cliffs. The early morning sun and blue skies made for some neat photos.
This appears to have one of the late model Worman Jee-Cabs. Not amnion these around. The rear of the top looks custom to me.

“1954 Willys CJ3B. Great project. Extremely solid and straight. Has arctic hardtop. Engine and seats are missing but everything thing else is there. Find another 134 “F” head or perfect for a v6 or V8 conversion. Last driven in 1976. Stored under a carport for a majority of the time since then. It will be hard to find a better CJ3B to restore than this one. Has not been abused or molested like a most. If the ad is up it’s for sale. No trades too many projects already.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
This could be worth a look. It includes a PTO and lockers.

“Good running Jeep Willys for sale. 283 Chevy Small Block engine. Has after market solid tubed frame. YJ leaf springs custom mounted. Custom fabricated front and rear bumpers with hitch receiver. Has original transfer case and trans in it. I have a SM420 trans with all the parts to make it new in a bin that I will throw in with it. Also have a hard top and doors that will go with it. Jeep runs and drives. Have title in hand. It does need a custom drive shaft made for front still as suspension drops out to far for the original to work. I still have the original drive shaft and a few other misc parts I will throw in with it. 4×4 does work. Has a inside floor heater in it as well that works. Original Jeep Willys seats I re-padded and put fabric on. Tires are brand new muds. Sad to see it go but I have no choice. 5000 OBO.”

“Selling my baby. It’s a stock 1953 Willys high hood. My daily driver for 5 months out of the year. A true survivor. The only thing that isn’t stock is the hubs. Original pto winch, engine, hard top, factory heater, 6 volt system, and many extra parts including engine block and tranny.
Runs and drives excellent and a ton of fun. This jeep is completely unmolested. You won’t find another like this and if you do it would cost a lot more than $5,500. It is also licensed as a collector (no more tab fees) Pictured with a period trailer that i will sell with the jeep for an additional $500. Price is firm. I will not negotiate at this great of a price. More pictures to come soon..”

Lots of mods. Needs work.
“I have a 1946 Willy’s Jeep cj2a. This is a great start to an easy project.
-350 v8 motor that’s in running condition
-400 tranny that matches up to it it’s automatic
-body has no rust anywhere to be fond and minimal surface rust that I’m sanding away today.
-the rear axle is out of a yota to match up to the Chevy 350.
-air ride suspension is hooked up in the rear and in great shape.
-the tires are more roaster stlyle tires and they are near brand new.
-the brakes need worked on because they have very low pressure and don’t work well enough for road worthiness and a new fuel pump and fuel lines hooked up to be running driving and stopping as is. I’m going to be working on it periodically and as I do more work to it the price will increase.”
UPDATE: Still Available.

<– Day 34 – Friday June 1st: The Route of Confusion | Day 36 – Sunday June 3rd: Leaving The Plains –>
Hanging out with a local in Dodge City. It seems I wore the right shirt today.
Day 35: We spent Saturday driving north from Clinton, Oklahoma, to Garden City, Kansas. Unbeknownst to us most of the day, we were roughly following (from Clinton to Dodge City) an old cow drive trail called the Great Western Cattle Trail. Our route:
On Saturday, we drove from Clinton, Oklahoma, to Garden City, Kansas.
Western Cattle Trail (and the other major trails):
We began the morning with one last Route 66 task: visit the Clinton Route 66 Museum. The outside of the building was cleverly done as a vintage-looking Route 66 motel:
Inside the lobby, we found signs, a car, gas pumps, and other items.
To enter the museum portion, it costs $7. Once paid, visitors enter through a set of doors. Among the sights that greet visitors is this large map showing Route 66, along with some early history of road as it relates to Oklahoma. The museum claims that Oklahoma has more original road than any other state. That certainly seemed like a legitimate claim given the length of the road within Oklahoma..
Chris, Patrick, and Roger all shared photos from the Willys Rally on Saturday. Here’s a compilation of their photos:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8000.
“1966 Cj5 for sale. 225 dauntless T86 transmission. All new suspension master cylinder starter tires intake manifold and restored Meyers Hard top. Also have full soft top and doors. Has electric choke but original oil bath and carburetor will go with it. Has 65,xxx original miles.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $24,500.
“My name is Chris Dyer and I’m a 20 yr retired Marine. Found this March 29, 1942 Ford GPW Jeep out on a ranch here in Mason,TX some 12 yrs ago. Bought and restored to a point with my son Nic. We use it for parades and funerals mostly. But as we are moving on in different directions now,figured it is time to sell. The frame and glove plates match. The engine block has a Sept 1944 replacement plate from the Army depot in Texarkanas. Has a standard canopy for it as well. Still has a couple of the “F” stamped bolts throughout and on other parts. Was converted to 12v before I got it. The Texas sun has faded the paint and seat covers. Believe the flywheel is missing a couple teeth but it normally starts right up. It is the real deal. Plate # 9428, one of the 1st 10,000 Ford Jeeps assembled. Worn hard, runs great. Few this old and still running. Here are some resent pic’s. Asking $24,500.00 obo (serious offers only).”
<– Day 33 – Thursday May 31st: Getting Our Kicks on Route 66 | Day 35 – Saturday June 2nd: Following the Western Cattle Trail –>
This Route 66 sign was just installed in El Reno a month ago.
Day 34: On Friday we drove from Clarmore, Oklahoma, to Clinton, Oklahoma.
On Friday we drove from Claremore, Oklahoma, to Clinton, Oklahoma. Multiple times we hopped on Route 66, but it proved elusive at times as well.
We started out Friday hunting down the Will Rogers statue in downtown Claremore. It didn’t take long to find it. Having read two biographies about Will, one thing I learned is that he was an early day blogger, always traveling with a laptop typewriter and writing when he had a spare moment. I can relate. So, I thought I’d show him how we do a selfie. He was a natural.
In fact, between our glasses and the hardware in our laps, you can barely tell us apart … (Hint: I’m the one with the ball cap). I could tell right away he liked me. After all, he never met a man he didn’t like, or so he said once.
Thanks to Derek Redmond for sneaking up behind me and taking the photo of me.
Our next stop was the Will Rogers Memorial Museum, which is also in Claremore. On our way, we passed this mural. Below I show two of the three panes (the third has been hidden by a tree).
UPDATE II: **SOLD**? Was No Price. Pics of the PTO equipment now included. It might have a Morrison plow https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/ctd/d/1946-jeep-willys-with-pto/6600008043.html (thanks to Jeff for spotting that)
UPDATE (From April 15th): This CJ-2A is listed as a 1946 CJ-2A without a price, but it has a serial number plate of 18132(incorrectly riveted to the body) that suggests it is a 1948 model. Yet, what appears to be the same jeep is listed here and the ad claims it has a serial number of 193346, again listed without a price. Finally, it’s listed in a third ad for $19,777.
Seller claims to have 125 jeeps for sale, but I’m guessing most are newer jeeps.
“1946 willys Jeep call Matthew for all details we have 125 jeeps to choose from call (480) 628-9965 thank you.”
Ulf’s selling this MB. The jeep is located in Sweden.
