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 Make Offer
“Up for sale is my grandfather’s 1943 Willy’s Jeep. It needs a total restoring but it is 100% complete and was driven occasionally up to a few years ago by my father. The original title shows it as military issue and was recorded July 17, 1943. It has 53,000 original miles on it. THAT’S RIGHT 53,000 MILES. This is a Jeep restorer’s dream. Even has the original seats. THIS IS A DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH.”

(11/24/2010) This looks like a serious project.
“Though partially dismantled, this 1955 Jeep CJ3B is in fair condition but needs a new tub. Someone in its past really took good care of it but put carpeting on the floor. The person I bought it from had left it sitting outside for a couple of years so the wet carpet rotted the floors. The frame underneath is in great condition still. The original motor is complete but not running. It also has a PTO winch.
All-in-all, it would not be hard to restore or upgrade this little monster. I bought this 3B about 3 years ago, parked it in my garage, and started taking it apart. Around the same time, I took on a new job that has since absorbed the majority of my life. So now I feel I must get rid of some projects, this being one of them.”

The engine compartment could stand some cleaning, but the outside is shiny nice.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/14/2010) Based on the grille, this seems more likely to be a mid to later CJ-2A rather than a 1946. The body appears in good shape.
“Up for auction is a 1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. 1946 is the first year that civilian Jeeps where built. The Jeep is complete other that missing a windshield. Several pictures have been taken to show the condition. It has solid body and frame. The body does not have rust or Bondo (It has surface rust only). It does have a new gas tank. I have never started the jeep but it will turn over by hand. The radiator and engine are full of antifreeze. This jeep does have a clear title. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask. This jeep is pick up only and is located in Alton, Il 62002.”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was priced at $1500.
This has the dump bed. It runs. It might be a good price.
“Rare 62 Jeep FC170 4 Whel Drive 6 Cyl. flathead runs, PTO factory winch, Dump bed, Title in Hand this is a rare Jeep vary Complete.”
UPDATE: A reader contacted me about this Jeep.
He wrote, “The same jeep was listed some time ago and I contacted the seller. Long story short he sends out fake invoices from a know eBay scam address (email is listed on eBay’s security page as scam) I nearly fell for it but luckily did my homework before sending the money!”
Despite the $8000 price listed at ebay, the “actual price” is $35,000 and can be seen here: http://www.fbcollectorcars.com/1945_Willys_MB_Jeep.html
So, buyers beware …..

Jim recently purchased this nice looking CJ-2A.
He writes, “Here are a few pictures of my 1947 Willys CJ2A. It has had a ground up restoration several years ago. I bought it out of Kansas and now it is in the California Sierra Nevada Mountains where I use it at our cabin.
The Willys has a new tub body but original hood and tail gate. It has all the original plaques and auto numbers. All other parts reflect the period except a roll bar and a steering stabilizer. The engine runs like a sewing machine.
I am still working on it to make it better and original. The paint job also reflects the year. If I could find a restored flat fender with the original body and in this good of shape I might jump ship. Meanwhile I enjoy driving this vehicle where everything works like it did 63 years ago, which by the way is my age!”
Congrats Jim. It looks like fun 🙂
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2700.
