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 .
Seller lists this as a 1946, but it appears to be a VEEP or something similar.
“1946 willys jeep upgraded on a vw frame and drivetrain. Less than 300 miles since the restomod. Beautiful all the way around. Extremely collectible. You will not find another in this good of a condition with all the new model upgrades for the price.”

The dash looks a little chaotic with that extra section mounted the rear of the windshield.

Nick’s got his modified CJ-2A for sale. He said he’ll take more photos this weekend. He’s included a long spec list as well.
“This was my winter project last year. I purchased this Willys locally (Lancaster) in August 2016. It now has many, Many, Many new high quality parts. It actually has $4,171 worth of new parts installed (see below). I also have all of the receipts for the parts on hand.
I have only driven Jeep maybe 60 miles in the year since purchasing as I just finished all of the work to the Jeep in July.
All work done was done properly and without cutting corners. I had planned to keep this Jeep, but my wife and I are divorcing and she wants to sell this vehicle. This jeep is very nice, runs and drives great, and is very powerful. We are not in a hurry to sell this Jeep and are in no way interested in a trade, so please do not ask. We also do not require any help selling this Jeep.
I have uploaded a few pictures that I have here on my phone and will take better pictures this week. The pictures I just posted show the Jeep while in progress. Everything is done now.
SPECIFICATIONS
New All Steel Body
305 c.i. V8 (Originally from 1977 Chevrolet Camaro)

https://cincinnati.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys-jeep-cj3a/6404537896.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Looks like a good starting point.
“Really nice Jeep that has zero rust in the floors.
Perfect start for a restoration or a build platform.
Dana 27 front axle
Dana 44 rear axle both with 4.27 gears.
Has not run in a long time.
Motor turns over freely.
Complete Jeep, not all items are shown in the pictures.
Clean Washington title in my name.”
Could be good for parts.

Mostly complete, AMC 304 V8, 3 speed, dana 20 tcase, D20 rear and D30 front.
Good diffs, good frame, good tranny and tcase.
I have no info on the engine, it does not run and will need a complete rebuild or use for parts.
Tub has rust in front floors, although rear is pretty nice, roll bar is good, grill is good, no fenders, no windshield, no tailgate.
Tires are in good shape (just street tires)
No title, bill of sale only. you can apply for lost title, thats up to you.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
No drive train.
“1947 Willys Jeepster, 2wheel drove, no engine or trans, restorable condition. $1500 obo. Please no calls after 9pm”
Needs work. Engine runs.
“I had great plans to take a complete 1947 CJ2A w/Great Engine (I have video of the engine running), but it’s been for sale for about a year now and I would like to move it on. I should mention that it has the 1947 model year McCord heater, for the passenger compartment. It’s an option and I’m guessing that’s rare and would be somewhat collectible.
Price wise, my understanding is that the running engine alone should be worth about $1K. So to help move things along and make it easy, my thought is to sell the whole jeep for $1,000 – you get the good engine and all the rest of the original 1947 parts – no problem! I’m also open to offers, so if $1K is too much, what works for you? Another way to shave down the price a bit is for me to keep to few of the pieces (like the grill and windshield) and you can have the rest at a reduced cost.
All of these parts are located in Winona, MN and are available for you to stop by and see about anytime.
This price assumes that you will pick up and haul the jeep from Winona – delivery may be possible for an extra fee, just ask and we’ll see what can be worked out.
So, this would be a great winter project – maybe a family project or just something fun!”

Not sure what value is here.
“Three Willy Jeeps for parts. Years are 1941, 1947, and a 1949. All three of the Jeeps are CJ2A.”
https://up.craigslist.org/cto/d/willy-jeeps/6415569211.html
UPDATE: SOLD. Was $1000.
This ought to interest someone.
“Here’s the tub and front clip that I had planned to use to restore a 1947 CJ2A. I’ve had this on sale for about a year and I’d like to move it on.
Earlier this year my ad read: CJ2A body tub repaired with some alterations. Tail gate eliminated. Flat fender grill in good shape. Flat fender style hood in bar metal – straight but needs prep and paint. Good for custom build. $1,800 ($2.5K on eBay)
So at this point, I’m dropping my price to $1,000 (about 1/2 what I was asking) and if that’s too much for you, make an offer you’re comfortable with – no problem!
All of these parts are located in Winona, MN and are available for you to stop by and see about anytime.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $225.
I can’t tell if there is a set of four or five rims.
“I have forsale a set of turbine/hurricane style wheels for a ford. 225.00 obo. May trade thanks for looking..”
Price seems optimistic given the rust and mismatched top. This might also have a steering upgrade.
“1954 willy 3b high hood. Rebuilt motor and tranny. Original 4 cylinder, new radiator, windshield and brakes, line lock brake system. Both seats good shape ..no rips. No rust in floor board ect. Full cage roll bar.”

Colorado’s Steamboat Pilot newspaper welcomed the FC-150 into the Jeep family fold with this December 13, 1956, photo.
Looks nice. Sounds like the seller is flipping it after buying it at an estate sale.
“I have a friend that has a 1947 Jeep Willys for sale. The vehicle was purchased at an estate sale and now the owner is looking to sell.
You won’t find a cleaner Willys out there! Here are some of the details, however seeing pictures doesn’t do it any justice.
* Full frame off restoration

(09/13/2017) This has some useable parts, may have the 30 spline offset axle, and definitely has a Warn OD. The front of the frame may have a twist.
“1971 jeep. The motor is a small block 350. The transmission and transfer case were totally gone through by six states. All seals, gears, bearings, angers have been replaced with new ones. $1000 was put into it having it rebuilt. The engine has 125lbs of compression on all eight cylinders. It has a new starter It has a brand new aluminum radiator. Need to get rid of it, I just don’t have a need for it anymore and not enough time to work on it. A leaf spring is broken. And some bolts have snapped that hold on the leaf spring to the frame. I tried to show this in the pictures. It was like this when I bought it. Some rust here and there as well. Almost everything that is black I recently powder coated.”
M-38A1s:
CJ-5s:
Needs some work, but appears worth a look.
“1951 Jeep Willys CJ-3A, great shape, tons of extra parts, tires are 98% tread and in great condition, new tailgate, non running but everything is there to make it go.
This is a no title/vin Jeep, so you will need to get a new vin stamped at the DMV, (surprisingly easy). Or it can be registered as is, as a OHV as long as you keep it off the freeway.”
