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 is a great looking CJ-5 with, if I’m not mistaken, the Tuxedo Park IV package.
“Hard to find Original Tuxedo Park, Warn Overdrive. You will be hard pressed to find a better one.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price.
Very Nice.

UPDATE: Price dropped to $2950.
(11/29/2010) This appears to have the original chrome rimmed tail lights (an upgrade option from the stock driver’s side only tail light).
“Nice straight Willys CJ2A with the split front windshield. About as original as you will find with the flat head 4 cylinder engine. I have gone through alot of the mechanics and it starts and runs great. I have replaced the fuel tank, radiator, seat frames and seats and it has a newer soft top. The body is in fair condition and does have some rust and Bondo. The floors are all solid. This Jeep would make a good hunting rig or could be restored.
Please call Shawn at (509) 346-3212 for more information.”

This is worth a look.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
Here’s a VEC #11500 for sale over at the CJ2A Page (Thanks Bill).
This Jeep has no title. The transmission was switched to a later floor shift version. The transfer case may, or may not be original, the early style 4-rib park brake drum is present.
The engine is not the original chain engine, but it is a low serial number CJ-2A 33843, it looks like an early 1946 engine in it.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
This looks like a great price and a fun restoration. It would be useful to see just how this was stretched. This could be a rare CJ-2L. This it the 5th one I have heard about or seen in the Pacific Northwest. You can see other stretched jeeps here. This looks like a good price. This almost looks like an old lefty, too.
“It’s all there but will need complete resto.Was stretched by a previous owner.Wheel studs are broken on front axle,so will not hold wheels. No title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
(11/14/2010) “This is a great original jeep.L134,T90, Dana 18,Dana 25/41 axles.Runs drives good,needs paint.Fist size hole in toolbox.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
(01/29/2011) Starting bid is $12k. It looks well maintained, but dusty.
“Up for auction is an original WILLYS 1946 CJ2A BOYER FIRE JEEP.
It is extremely hard to find an original Boyer jeep with that many accessories still on the vehicle. To find out more about Boyer jeeps please go to http://cj3b.info/Fire/fireindex.html.
The jeep is in orginal condition. It appears it has been painted once. The engine runs nice and smooth, all driveline works. Engine has original governor. The mileage on the vehicle shows 2304 miles however the speedometer appears to be broken. Jeep has some rust issues: front floor especially under the tool box (rusted through), on back corner behind reflectors (both corners rusted through), otherwise the outside body, fenders, etc. are in excellent condition especially the windshield frame (have never seen one in that great shape for a 1946 vehicle!).
The jeep comes with all the accessories you see in the pictures. Unfortunately it didn’t come with the pump. It appears that the pump was removed many years ago. The jeep was stored inside for many years, we changed the fueltank and the exhaust system as we didn’t want to take a chance with the old one with old fuel in it. The old fuel tank is emptied and is included in the auction. It appears there were no leaks from the old fueltank. Most likely it will need to be boiled out.
The brakes need to be looked after as the brake pedal goes straight down to the floor however it moves freely.
We have a professional restoration facility for Willys Jeeps and in our opinion this would be a simple restoration because everything is there to do nice job. Fuellines, brakelines, wiring harness all original.
This vehicle comes without any warranties or guaranties. We have over 15 years of experience in shipping vehicles worldwide and will assist buyer with shipping/loading and paperwork.
Shipping, taxes and/or other fees (import, customs, etc.) are not included in the auction and are the buyers responsibility.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
(01/04/2011) This looks like it’s been in there a while.
“1948 Willies Jeep model cj2a w/ original flathead. $3000/obo.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2800
This might make a good restoration. Some paint might really help.
“Rebuilt L134 Go Devil engine, newer military tires plus spare, lots of spare parts. Licensed and registered till 12/11.”
The top sure looks nice.

(07/23/2010) This needs a little body work.
“The Willys has a Ford 302, Auto, Dana 20, stock diffs (25 front and rear posi) runs great, but it’s never been off road. I have a good windshield, but for extra $$. It needs body work on two spots; next to drivers door and passenger side battery well (rust), metal flat bed with storage boxes. I also have a 9′ bed that goes with sale”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,000.
This is interesting. The seller says this is an unrestored M-38 in great condition. If accurate, this might be an unusual find if you want a M-38.
“Up for sale is a 1952 Willys M38 Army jeep. Looks and runs good. Tires are new. No rust however certain parts are pitted. Willys flathead 4cyl engine original to the jeep, T90 trans, 4wd. This is a rare untouched, unrestored find. It came straight from the fire dept and runs very good. Shifts fine, Steers tight, stops as it should and does not leak any oil. It has been converted to 12 volt by the fire dept and has never been modified or in civilian hands untill recently. I have the original gov. release form. This jeep also has the original spring seat cushions.

All three look pretty rough.

UPDATE: SOLD. See comments.
(10/24/2010) It’s got some rust, but drives.
“1948 Willys, 32,721 +/- on the odometer. Guy who had it before me parked it in his garage thinking he would do some body work. Sat for 12 years. I got it thinking I needed another project vehicle. Wife decided I didn’t. Dumped some gas in it earlier this summer and it fired right up. Drove OK but brakes need work. Tires are good including a spare on a matching wheel. Looks to me like everything is there with the exception of a seat-bracket and seat. The lights/trim wipers, steps, etc are in a box. Body has some rust (see pictures) but the frame and drive-train look solid and straight. I have a clear title for this jeep. With a little elbow grease this winter I think this has potential as a fun summer ride. Asking $1,100.00 but would entertain any serious offer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500.
The price is a bit high, but this would likely make a great restoration candidate.
“1949 Jeep Willys CJ-2A Drivin daily then garaged 6 years ago. Needs TLC. No top but otherwise vehicle is complete (rebuilt motor) and includes a extra motor. Not shown, but I do have the stock tires and rims”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
The engine is out.
“1957 Willies Jeep civilian version. The body is in good condition over all although there is a small amount of rust in the front passenger fender (I’ve included a photo of it), the paint and interior are in fair to good condition and the tires have 75% of the tread left. It comes with the original Hurricane 4 engine which is currently not running because we removed the radiator to start the process of replacing the rear main seal but never got it done. It also comes with the original 3-speed manual transmission. For an additional $1,500 I’ll include a Chevy V8 383 stroker and a new turbo 350 hydro transmission with torque converter. Motor includes all accessories: carburetor, alternator, brackets and pully’s. Also take a look at my 1957 Military style Willies Jeep I have for sale as well. (It’s located in Lindon)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/24/2011) There are a couple other Willys in the background of the photos.
“Offered is a very rare Willys FC150 Foward Control Pickup. Needs restoration. Very staight and solid. Rear glass is missing. Motor apart. This will make a great project to restore or street rod.”
