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 .

(08/29/2017) Could be worth a look.
“FOR SALE 1954 WILLYS M38A1. RUNS GOOD. HAS THE ORIGINAL 4 CYLINDER MOTOR. HAS NEW 2ND GEAR SYNCHROS/BEARINGS. HAS ALUMINUM RADIATOR INSTALLED BUT I STILL HAVE THE ORIGINAL RADIATOR THAT CAME WITH IT. HAS GOOD RUBBER ALL THE WAY AROUND. I DO NOT HAVE THE TOP FOR IT BUT I DO HAVE THE DOORS AND THE FRAME FOR THE TOP. NEEDS WORK DONE ON THE SEATS.”
https://binghamton.craigslist.org/cto/d/jeep-willys-m38a1/6289812868.html
Listed as a 1955, it is either a 1952 or early 1953 based on the hinged grille. The 2nd jeep for $500 is a CJ-5, not an M-38A1.
“Jeep project, I bought this jeep at auction and was told it had been running in the last few years. I got into bad gas and gave up. It is complete and has a military id plate but not titled yet. I have fuel tank out and it is in restorable condition. There is a similar year body that could go with purchase for an additional $500.”
https://charlottesville.craigslist.org/cto/d/50s-jeep/6317789060.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4850.
The windshield lacks glass.
“1946 cj2a jeep runs very well 4cylinder flat head manual trans works well solid body everything works any questions just call”
I can’t tell if the body is still around or not. The last photo looks a little dated, so I’m guessing this is what one of the chassis’s looked liked before the cab was removed.
“59 Jeep FC150, 4 cyl, 4×4, 2 rolling chassis, both will run, body work needed.”
https://wilmington.craigslist.org/cto/d/59-jeep-fc150/6320544366.html
Not sure how much value is here. No description provided.
https://swv.craigslist.org/cto/d/willys/6308292588.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Has an early engine. Seller lists this as a 1945, but it’s more likely a 1947 or later.
“1945 Jeep Willys refurbished engine only needs carburetor to complete engine. Body is in good shape the seats are getting reupholster. I need a daily driver I’m willing to talk about price.”
This may be worth a look.
“64 Willy’s Jeep. Engine is 283 small block Chevy V-8 from an old corvette. Runs extremely well. 33inch super swamper tires on American racing wheels. Transmission and transfer case are out of the jeep but are available. All parts to make it go come with it. Great condition. Tires, wheels and engine are worth twice what I’m asking. Just don’t have time to put back together.”
https://ithaca.craigslist.org/cto/d/1964-willys-jeep/6315799454.html
Cool old fire department truck project.
“Complete xfire truck great truck for someone who is looking for a winter project. Lots of potential. Currently not in running condition.”
https://akroncanton.craigslist.org/cto/d/1951-willys-4×4-truck/6316790073.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
There could be some value here. It’s a 2WD, pretty stock wagon.
“1951 Willys Wagon for restoration or parts, good front clip, hood, doors, seats, complete bumpers. body in bad shape especially the floor, but its all there. 4 cylinder with 3 speed on column.”

“1950’s Russian 4X4 body/frame . Complete except grill which can be purchased on E Bay for short money. No motor or transmission. Would make perfect body or drive train swap. Very similar to a Willys of same time period. Sold with bill of sale only and tires/wheels do not go with it. Thanks. Trades cash or combo welcome , I like anything boat”
https://nh.craigslist.org/pts/d/1950s-russian-4×4-body-gaz-69/6321182309.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500.
(09/19/2017) Seller will sell all three for $4500. Seller mistakenly labels the CJ-5s ad CJ-3Bs.
“For sale here are three Willy’s Jeeps. These were inherited from my grandfather, then from my father. My grandfather had partially restored the 47 and 57, but they were nowhere near complete when he passed. The work he did on them is almost 20 years old at this point. He was also the world’s worst about titles. I have titles from the previous owner, before my grandfather, for the 47 CJ-2A, and the 57 CJ-3B. The 53 CJ-3B has no title. All will be sold as-is, with a bill of sale. Outdated copies of titles go with the two that have them. I would like to sell all three as a package, but am willing to part with each one individually. $4,500 if sold as a hat trick. Price is somewhat negotiable, but don’t bother lowballing. Details for each are below.
1947 Willy’s CJ-2A: The most well taken care of, of the three, with all parts intact except the seats and windshield glass. Was about 60% restored when my grandfather set it aside. No through-rust or other major rust that I am aware of. Frame is solid, body tub and fenders are solid, engine and driveline are intact and original, suspension is also intact. I was told it needs a complete wiring harness and a lot of TLC to be able to turn the key and have it start. Asking price is $1,500.00.
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** was $10,000.
Looks in good shape.
“1960 Willy’s Jeep DJ3A 4×2….Good Condition….25,000 plus Original Miles…”
Craig forwarded this project.
“Have Jeepster needs Total Restoration motor runs. Selling due to health reasons. Comes with open Delaware Title and bill of sale.”
