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 $2000.
(03/30/2108) It’s a project.
“Unfinished project 75% done.
Has a lot lot of goodies. Which I will list at bottom of post.
***I cannot stress this enough 75% Done***
I would say if your not a fabricator this is probably not the project for you.
Here’s what it needs;
Transmission tunnel, transmission mount, re hook up break lines, fuel system, steering column needs to be mounted,
*Motor will turn on but obviously needs work to drive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $250.
The holes along the front of this top suggest to me it is a 2A top rather than a 3A.
“I have what I believe to be a soft top and doors for a Jeep CJ3a. I’ve searched Google and it looks like the pics for a CJ3a. The top is made by Kayline and is in excellent condition. It shows some signs of wear but doesn’t look like it was used very much. It’s shiny black and the windows are clear with no yellowing. The doors look a little more used but are still in good shape with clear windows. Unfortunately, I don’t have any hardware. Call or text me if interested.”
No pics provided.

“Selling 1947 Jeep CJ2A. $2500 OBO not looking for any trades. Been sitting for several years. Currently not running. The would be a great project for restoration. There are several areas of rust.
Comes with hard top and front tow bar.
Has the 4 cylinder engine.
Will post photos soon.
Buyer would need to bring flat bed trailer to move.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6900.
(01/28/2018) The top doesn’t look like it would hold up well at faster speeds. The jeep has a variety of mods.
“Super fun to own and drive. Pretty much rebuilt when I bought it a couple years ago. Rebuilt six cylinder flat head Studebaker engine, stock running gear, tow bar for front, 2 sets of tires and wheels, manuals, prior owner receipts for work done, two 10 gallon gas tanks under the seats, four extra 5 gallon gas cans, hi-lift jack, Replica 50 caliber machine gun & mini gun, military tool box, ammo cans, replica radio transmitter with working lights in it, front halogen light and two spotlights, antennae base. I made a top for it out of canvas, you can leave it or take it off. Performs really good in sand & desert.Would make great parade vehicle. Open to offers.”
UPDATE: I was sold out, but now have a handful left.
Original is on the left, the reproduction on the right. The colors are closer than they appear, as the original has caught some extra light from the window on the left.
The jeep ran into the rear of a lumber truck, injuring a soldier and his girlfriend.

The asking price is a bit high, but this jeep just oozed nostalgia for me. It reminds me a lot of my parents’ CJ-5.

https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-1947-jeep/6555559567.html
“I have a 47 Willys Jeep. It is rough and beat up. No title. Old ranchers lost it years ago. I have had it for 3 years. The ranchers had it 45 years. It has a newer overhead valve jeep engine in it. It will run if you can get it started. I think the starter is finally caput! No idea what fuel tank they put in the back is out of and I made a milk crate seat. Last time I was able to start it the engine purrs like a kitten. Fwd works. For some reason there is something cool about it. I call it, Drivable yard art!”
