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 $5000.
This looks solid.
“for sale 1948 jeep willys cj2a. 4cyl flathead with 3spd trans runs and drives. 12volt electrical system. has brand new rims and tires.”
The seller just bought this and now wants to buy something else.
“1976 Mitsubishi J58/CJ3B/Willys Original 24,500miles
I just recently purchased this and in between the 2 weeks it took to be delivered from Atlanta, GA, another one-of-a-kind deal came my way, so I will have to let this one go. Someone will be very lucky to get one of these rare Mitsu CJ3B’s.
Only about a dozen of these make it into the US through 2 importers due to the strict guidelines for the importation of used vehicles. The majority of these that are sold out of Japan go to Europe and South America. Only the nicest ones make it into the US and are usually presold before they are ever off the boat and this is one of them. This was the personal Jeep of one such importer.
I am not new to early CJ’s. I have restored about a dozen pre-1965 CJ’s. Four of them being body off CJ3B’s, so I can tell you I know these Jeeps. Prior to buying this one, I had never seen one of these – only pictures. So what you have here is a CJ3B with far better running gear, motor, power, heating system, with defrosters, that the early Willy’s with the overhead cam hurricane motors just did not have.
The only thing that was added to this Jeep was the CB Antenna and the gas can, which is mounted directly to the tailgate. The spare tire mount does not swing out like American CJ’s. It folds down and is not mounted to the tailgate.
Everything works on this Jeep – Radio, Turn signals, everything. I’ve only had this Jeep one week and have driven it about 10 miles. Being a 110HP, it is REALLY snappy and it is a 4-speed and will cruise effortlessly at 60-65MPH without overdrive and without Warn locking hubs, which can be installed. . . ”

This has a new body. Not a perfect original restoration, but looks very nice.
“This is a 1946 Willys CJ2A Jeep. I’ve been restoring it for about 6 years now. It has a new metal CJ2A body tub and various other new body parts. I have invested about $9500 in vehicle, body parts, paint, rhino lining, and labor. I’m asking $6,250, but would take any reasonable offer. I’d consider half cash and a trade if it were something that appealed to me like guns, guitars, or something else with wheels to make up the rest of the value. I’m ready to deal. Street legal and much stronger than an ATV.
The 46 Willys is a low geared, 4×4, original flat head 4 banger, stick shift 3 speed. It has been converted from 6v to 12v and has always been pretty much mechanically sound. Top speed is 45-50mph. It can climb paved steep inclines even in third gear with no struggle and can get about anywhere on other terrain in lower gears and 4 wheel drive. It is perfect for the farm or ranch and does well on the state highways, back country roads, hunting trails, and open fields. It is too slow for the interstate. Though it is very much still original, I wanted it to be a daily driver so I installed an additional brake light and turn signals ( not standard for the 46).”

Chris is selling his beautiful truck. He has a complete history of ownership as well. Looks like a good price to me.
“Here is a brief history of this truck. The truck was originally owned by two brothers that used it in upper Michigan on their farm for light work duty. They kept it in the original condition and when the second of the two brothers died, the truck went to their nephew. The nephew is about my age and he didn’t know much about the truck accept that his instructions were not to sell it to anyone that wanted to modify it, change it or not appreciate the nature of it. Another younger guy looked at it before me but he wanted to turn it into a Mud jumper truck and the nephew couldn’t bear to see that happen.
I’ve loved Willys jeeps since a kid but my Dad could not afford one. After my Dad died I found this truck. I’ve owned this truck about 15 years. Always garaged, never driven after November or before April due to salt and never abused. I use it for work around the yard hauling stuff and going to the dump.
It has the original L-134 flathead 4 cylinder engine which makes about 60 horsepower. Good compression in all the cylinders and I have not replaced the valves so I add the lead substitute to the fuel. I had the generator replaced last fall since she wasn’t keeping a charge, and now she puts out about 150 amps with the original 6 volt system. There are no accessories in this truck, no fan heater, no defroster, no radio, just like 1948. The heat is knob down by the passenger floor. The wipers are vacuum. The speedometer is stuck at 20mph but she only goes about 40 mph tops anyway any faster and you have to really hang on! The truck did come with an oil filter, which seems like it was an option in 1948.
She runs great. The interior and seats are all original as is the headliner. The turn signals are an add on since they didn’t have them in 1948. The shift linkage is a 3 on the tree with the transfer case and hi/lo range on the floor.”
