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 .
This jeep no longer has it’s trencher, but it still has lots of parts.

There are four different 2×2 negatives of this jeep from similar angles.
“Original Photo Negative from the Tulsa, OK area from the 1950’s. There was no information about the photographer, I figured out the location and era based on information in the images of the set I am listing together (Car tags and signs and recognizable landmarks) I have “inverted” the image, so you can see what a print will look like. The quality is fair to good, having some graininess. This is a good quality, albeit amateur image.”

Blaine shared an ad for the Humbolt Junkies Flat Market & Vintage Trailer Rally that includes a Willys Truck. So, I began searching ….
Here’s the main trailer rally website, one that includes the below graphic.
And, then there’s this ad:
Looks like they have a Women’s shirt for $20:
And finally, after multiple searches, I found the actual jeep truck:
Humboldt Junkies in Redcrest.
Looks solid. The refurb included some aftermarket parts.

Has the bobcat hood among other updates.
“This is my 1947 Willys with a 1968 chevy 327-cid engine supposedly out of a 1968 corvette. I am the third owner of the car after the swap which was done by an older man who wanted to get rid of it because it was to fast. It is has a manual choke and there is no key required to run and drive the vehicle. It runs and drives as it sits but as you can hear and see in the video it needs a tune up the passenger side is running rich and sounds like the timing may need to get adjusted. As you can see the body is in rough shape the driver side windshield is broken and the windshield doesnt fold down because the previous owner caulked it. According to the previous owner the engine and transmission where rebuilt but I do not have paperwork to prove it so it was just word of mouth. I love this car it is super fast and fun but don’t have time or space. So 4500 obo open to all offers TEXT with questions would highly recommend trailering it.”

Glenn spotted this one. It’s got an interesting windshield. I *think* I’ve seen one or two others, though last time I looked, I couldn’t find them. The remainder of the jeep looks civilian and, mostly 1946 2A rather than 1951ish.
“Up for aution is a 1951 willys jeep. This jeep has a very rare windshield designed for a cannon. Body is solid. Looks to be the original L4 flat head engine. Engine has not ran in a long time and seems to be seized up, but all drive train seems ok. I do have a new radiator , hoses , and plug wires for the engine.”

Hasn’t been run since the 1990s. Seller won’t ship.
https://cleveland.craigslist.org/cto/6187183997.html
“The serial number matches to ones manufactured in 1943. By what I can tell online, many army jeeps received a year designation when the were sold to the public, not when they were actually made.
This jeep was purchased by my Great Uncle in 1945 when he returned home from WWII. It has been in the family since. He and his brothers only ever used it to plow snow (there is a plow included if you want it).
The white top is a Korean War era top that they added later. 9,000 miles. Not a typo. It wasn’t driven much. (I’ll change it to the exact mileage later – I don’t have that info on me right now).
I HAVE THE TITLE. I know this is very important and many people don’t have the title for a jeep of this era. It costs $500 to replace a title.

This hasn’t been run since 1986. However, the interior (only pic provided) looks in reasonable shape and stock.
“This is our family’s Jeep! We purchased it in 1955 and have had it ever since. It been garaged since 1986 and hasn’t been run since. That said it ran great back then. The home where it is has to be put on the market so it needs to go when the garage is opened on Thursday, June 22nd. I really don’t want to do the towing, fixing, etc. and then resell it but someone out there I’m sure does! I’ve done some shopping and rusty junk for this year has been selling for $7K and those in great running condition are selling for $25K+. Personally, I’d just like it out of my hair so a decent offer above $7K would be great!”
Needs engine work. Has a ventilating windshield. (this 3B can also be bought as a part of this package).

I thought this top should have sliding doors, but it looks like these are hinged. Custom?
“Selling a Jeep CJ5. comes with mid tires…Runs”
https://youngstown.craigslist.org/cto/6183256072.html
Seller has a variety of parts, including a 0-9 white-numbered speedometer.
“See pics ask for prices”

No pics provided.
“green body, in need of great repair. Possibly will take offer within the asking price. Jeep needs to literally be rebuilt to some degree. I listed it rebuilt meaning the buyer would have to assume some of that responsibility. Thanks”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
Seller claims this is a Meyers half-top in the title of the ad. There were both Meyer and Meyers hardtops made. Meyer is the better known hardtop seller. The only documented evidence of a Meyers top is on CJ-3B Page (at bottom of this page). It looks similar, but not quite like, a Sears aluminum half top. The doors are different, as the Sears top has curves, where the Meyers has angles. The Meyers door also has a bend near the bottom that Sears does not. Based on the pics, I believe this to be a Sears hardtop rather than a Meyers (and it does not look like a Meyer, in case that’s what the seller meant).
“I have a very nice 1/2 top for an early cj5. This top has the rounded corner for that vintage look. This has a little surface rust but has no rot. This is not all banged up and would be an easy install. I have both door that have a slide up and down window. One window is plexi glass. Use it like it is for that old look or restore. This is complete with working latches. The panel that goes from the top to the floor is missing. This is a simple fabrication that I can help with.
I bought this to put on my Willys cj3b with different doors. It is too nice too cut it up to make it fit so I went a different route.
I have been working on these old jeeps since 1983 so I know what it is and how hard they are to find in this condition. I do not want to waste anyone’s time so please ask questions. I will send any more specific photos you wish. Asking $400. Save your low offers please.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100.
“1947 willy cj2a jeep project…body rough..frame needs repair..L-head 4 cyl jeep motor runs nice…supersonic head…new master cylinder…starts, runs, drives, shifts, stops good…$1250…Randolph, Vermont…posted for a friend…phone calls only please…after 2:00 PM…Vt. doesn’t issue titles for older vehicles, sold with bill of sale.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/05/2017) Craig spotted this plow jeep with a unique color scheme. Look slick there’s value.
“1964 Willys Jeep with 6 ft snow, 4 cyl, hardtop with wind up windows, fully functional plow goes up and down (no power angle), starts right up, brakes work, lights work, etc.
This is a good Jeep for plowing your lot, drive, or whatever. Currently not licensed or inspected, do not know what it would take for inspection. The hardtop and plow are worth more than half the asking price. Body has been patched and was painted Red, White and Blue. Very patriotic but not very pretty. This is no SHOW JEEP, it runs good and stops good and will make a good plow Jeep.
NO WARRANTIES, HISTORY, OR PROMISES, SOLD AS-IS, WHERE-IS. Please don’t call with low ball offers. If you’re really interested, make an appointment, come look, bring CASH and we’ll talk. I will NOT talk price with anyone over the phone with out you having seen the Jeep.”
