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 $750.
It runs. Has the wrong top.
“1954 Willys CJ3B , 4-Wheel Drive with plow. Needs some TLC, runs great, would make a nice winter plow truck or a restoration project. There are no brakes, vehicle has been sitting, floor pans are shot, but the little beast keeps running.”
It’s rough, but mostly complete.
“1946 Jeep Willys. This is an unrestored Jeep Willys CJ2A. Sold on Ebay and Buyer never came through…So 2nd Chance for you!
This Jeep is sold as is. Everything appears to be there: engine, drive train and transmission. I don’t know how long it has sat and or ran. It rolls and can be restored to something special or used for parts. Will ship-you pay based on formula below. If you are in the area then arrangements can be made through seller. Buyer pays for all shipping costs. I do not currently have a title. I have a bill of sale from the lady I purchased it from. You have to file for a lost title. All of the numbers match: frame, tub, motor, etc.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Hasn’t run in 20 years.
“I have a Old (not sure of year) Willys Jeep.It was my late stepdads and he has passed away and i dont see any reason to let it sit and rust. The body is rusted pretty bad but the chassis and engine are in good shape. With some sheet metal work the body would be an easy fix. Does not run since parked 20 some odd years ago. would be great restoration project. comes with hydraulic dump bed.(custom made i believe not sure). It has a four cylinder engine and manual transmission. I would say this is a 54 from what my stepdad told me before he passed away. I do have a title for this vehicle but it will take a few days to dig it up but i will write a bill of sale if needed.”
It is rusty and rough, but appears complete.
“Old Willys came with the house when I bought it. I was told it ran up until the previous owner died in ’07. Make me a reasonable offer and she’s yours. I just don’t have the time to mess with it. Trades for 4×4 quad or sled considered.”

It needs work.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1100
“This is a 1955 Jeep CJ5.. VERY RARE and Very nice conditon Hardtop and doors. HY-LO hyd plow, running F-head motor. I purchased this Jeep as a plow vehicle but have moved on to other pursuits. 2 known issues… The Carb floods the engine. The gaskets are either dry rotted or the carb needs to be rebuilt or replaced.. New ones are $100.. The frame is cracked right infront of the passenger rear wheel. It can be patched, ($50) but a Good condition used frame is included in the price. Brakes work great. The jeep can be ready to plow for $150… Bill of sale only..”
The price is a bit high for a non runner; however, this this appears to be a good restoration candidate.
“1952 Jeep wagon, 98% rust free Georgia vehicle, still has GA title. All original in good condition except the addition of 2bbl Chevy 283 V8. Engine turns over but wont start. Call Bill @ 770-500-2126 Other”

Brett spotted this ad. There is one parts jeep and two running jeeps, though each of the running jeeps has issues.
“I have 3 cj5 jeeps for sale. A 60,62,63 F-head 4cyl style. I bought them for a project but due to my disabilities Its hard to work on them anymore.The 1960 Is all original and runs but has a rod knock.I shut it down right away when it happened to save further damage. It has the hard top with the doors. Original front Seats(full bench) have been recovered. I have title for it.
I bought a 1962(Dont have title so thats the best date I can give of 62 jeep) with the 4 cyl. F-head that is supposed to be good. It’s a parts jeep.
I also bought a 1963,(with title) that has been modified with a 6 cyl. the firewall had to be cut to fit the engine. It runs well but has some leaks. It has a hard top with no doors. All original except the engine,and seats have been replaced with high back bucket seats. The rear seat in it was taken out of a subaru brat. Has roll bar. New gas tank. will be a good runner with a little work. I also have 1 spare 4 cyl F-head engine in the garage that is froze up, but complete for parts. just sat in the elements too long or so I was told from the seller.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
I wonder if the seller has verification that this was a Hotel DJ.
“It is a 1962 Jeep Willys DJ-3A one of about 2500 made that year. It was originaly a little Island touring truck that the hotels would use to take guest around. Its in good running order, looks ok. It does need a paint job and a little body work. Price is negotiable. I am leaving the Island soon so it needs to sell. attached is a pic of what it could be. right now it is flat black.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000. Might have a Porter & Reed hardtop.
(09/29/2010) I can’t tell much about it from the pics. It appears pretty stock.
“The jeep is in fairly good condition i cleaned it up a lot with the power washer. Needs a battery and tune up and should start rite up, it was running last time it was parked but was sitting in a shed for a couple years. It still uses a 6v battery. I was in the process of restoration but i just dont have the time and money to do it. Is a great restoration vehicle for someone thats not in tobad of shape. It still has the winch on the vehicle and i have the door pieces and other bars that came with it. I also have the original title for the jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500
(10/08/2010) This has a PTO. It also has a funky bumper and the m151 rims.
“
47 Jeep Willys CJ2A; All Stock! Very Good Condition! VERY SOLID! Only $5,500. Feel free to call with any further questions.”
It doesn’t look like it, but I think this runs. I also think it is a CJ-2A not a CJ-3A.
“All original jeep CJ3A 4 wheel drive works ready to go asking $3500 firm for more info call 903 569 9375 or 903 262 0153 no calls after 9 pm”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was No Price
Mice have chewed the tires, engine has/had a knock.
“1946 willys jeep. Have had it for probly 20 years, used it to plow my driveway untill about 5 years ago when i got a new plow truck. Ran when i parked it but had a little knock. Mice have since chewed a few wires i think. Sold the plow off it. Good winter project. Has a PTO on back. MAKE AN OFFER. Trades?”
Can’t tell much from the pic.
“Excellent original condition. Restored 1990. Garaged since.”

Needs work.
“working on getting motor unlocked”

This has got a few issues.
“Selling my Willys!!! Don’t really want to, but it looks like I might be going to Afghanistan and would rather someone use it than have it sit in storage.
’46 VEC CJ2A #17477. Jeep runs and drives great but should still be considered a project. Needs a lot of little things but I drove it all summer without any issues. I stripped all of the bondo off of this Jeep that previous owners put on it so you can see what needs to be done. I have nothing to hide with this CJ and I hope someone gets as much fun out of it as I did. This thing’s been all over the San Juans and Moab and has been a great travel companion. This would be an excellent starting point for someone new to the old Jeeps as I located most of the hard-to-find parts and got the mechanical gremlins out already (knock on wood). If you buy it, I would also be willing to spend a day going through it with you and showing you everything that it needs.
Will consider partial trades for cool overland gear (ARB awning, engel fridge, RTT, GOOD lights, winches, etc). I have the title in hand and would be more than happy to put it in indoor storage for you until you can pick it up (storage is about $100/mo around here)….. Please no low-ball offers … give me a call at 9-0-7-3-4-7-2-3-6-6”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250
(11/13/2010) There might be some rust on the sides of this.
“1948 Willys CJ2A – $2250 (OBO Elk River). Ready for Restoration. Appears mostly original, front bumper was replaced with stronger unit, it was once used as a plow jeep. Has aluminum roof unit, dual underdash heaters, very nice treads on the tires. We bought this two years ago, it has been sitting in our garage, we’re moving and hope it finds a good home. It ran when put away, motor turns fine. More photos available upon request.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4500
(11/19/2010) The seller notes there is no rust anywhere, but that sure looks like surface rust on the hood? Also, it sounds like it doesn’t run given it needs a new water pump? This looks solid.
“THIS IS A TRUE BARN FIND… THIS WILLYS HAS BEEN IN A BARN FOR OVER 14 YEARS !!! YOU WILL NOT FIND A STRAIGHTER OF MORE COMPLETE WILLYS AROUND !! THERE IS NO RUST ON THE JEEP…AND THE METAL IS ALL STRAIGHT. THE SEATS ARE IN PERFECT SHAPE. I TRAILERED THIS JEEP HOME AND GOT IT RUNNING, I HAVE THE NEW FUEL TANK AND WATER PUMP IT NEEDS. I ALSO HAD THE WHEELS SANDBLASTED AND POWDER COATED BLACK AND PUT 5 NEW TIRES ON HER. THE TOP IS IN FAIR SHAPE… BUT… UNDER THE BACK SEAT WAS A BRAND NEW, NEVER OUT OF THE PACKAGE BIKINI TOP FOR THE JEEP!!! THIS HAS MANY OF THE PLUS’S YOU WANT TO FIND BUT CAN’T… BOW HOLDERS, JERRY CANS AND THE BRACKETS, SIDE STEPS AND SPARE TIRE CARRIER”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $3500.
(10/11/2010) This looks pretty nice for the price.
“1947 willys cj2a jeep. Orig L-134 engine, runs great call for info. Lots of stuff”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2200
This one might be worth a look.
“1942 willys jeep mb this has been our hunting jeep for as far back as I can remember it has been converted to 12 volt stock flathead engine it starts runs drives and stops. We used it every deer season then it got covered and stored. It is the rarer of the 1942 mb models it has a glove box and the slat grill . It also has historical plates. First 2200 takes it no emails no spammers!”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000
“1958 jeep fc-150 4×4. this is an cool truck, very rare, and in good driving condition, not many made like this, its a ‘forward control” flat nose jeep truck on a cj-5 frame all factory, I drive this truck often, it has the original 4 cylinder, three speed, drive train, factory wheels, i’ve updated some of the items in the truck such as: radiator, hoses, lights, tires, shocks, shackles, gas tank, sending unit, fuel pump, water pump, tune up, rebuilt carb, etc., like i said I drive it regularly, I’ve driven as far as 50 miles from home with it, it only goes 45 mile per hour so its not the best travilin truck, but it will climb anything. it does have some rust in the body, defantly reparable, the frame is straight and repainted, I don’t really want to sell but I could use the money. I have a clean tennessee title in hand. thanks for looking.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5000.
(11/18/2010) This looks like a real good price for a solid restoration. This might be a good buy.
“The jeep was brought home on a trailer completely taken apart / frame off was completed. Began project around 2001. I cut out all rotted k bracing and sheet metal in the floor, replaced it with new material and mig welded into place. Spot welds reflecting areas of repairs. Jeep has always been in a garage or under a shed out of the weather since I completed it around 2003.Where good salvage parts were available I used these when replacing other older or worn parts. What is M38 tubb, frame, running gears, right fender, hood and grill, m50 antenna mount. Deep water fording kit is nos. I purchased it in the original crate. Top bows are aftermarket and maybe the rear tire mounting bracket. Most of the other parts are good salvage replacement or nos where and when I could find them. At time of original rebuild all brake lines were replaced and master cylinder was honed and rebuilt. I made a home made wiring harness as I was not sure if I would make it a 24 volt system or not and wanted to get it rolling. All fuel lines were replaced as well. It was undercoated with a coating called tool dip which is a black mastic type of undercoating and is military surplus. Fuel tank has been permanently sealed in military aircraft fuel tank sealer, also a mil surplus item. All seals were replaced and where needed suspension parts were replaced with new when original rebuild. Seat cushions were purchased new from Beachwood canvas, includes 3 lowers and the upper rear. Front uppers are original spring type for that original fell and sound. Front canvas seat covers sewn by my grandmother. No covers for rear. Windshield frame and left fender are cj3b. I began installing the rifle rack mounting but it needs to be completed. The brake shoes and brake cylinders replaced only a couple years ago and the drums turned. The brakes will stop stand and hold vehicle in place. Comes equipped with Slectro brand locking front lock in lock out hubs Engine was pulled from a 1952 cj3b. I cannot remember mileage. It is a non smoker. I purchased the jeep locally. Before pulling engine from jeep I removed oil pan and cleaned sludge from oil pan installed new gasket and replaced. Had to remove thermostat as old one was sticking. The engine has operated great since and has never let me down. It has received regular oil changes The most Recent new parts include new NAPA Battery and sporting a new paint job Army Jeep Parts WW 2 semi gloss Korean era Inoperative are wipers , horn wired but not working, fuel gauge wire not reading right, speedometer in tact but no speedometer cable. No Turn signals or wire for them but have military turn signal switch mounted on steering column …..”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4750.
This looks like a nice Jeep. Apparently, it was formerly owned by a fire department.
“
In the pictures of the Willys, the paint has those spots on it because we had taken it out of the garage for pictures & we had a light shower that left spots in the dust from sitting inside… This is my own personal Willys (JEEP), it has a 4 cylinder OHV motor, three speed trans., its a 4X4 (four wheel drive), it has always been stored inside when not in use… It has 4 new tires, rebuilt motor, newer top, ran when put away, but has been stored for over 2 years in my garage because I can no longer drive a vehicle with a clutch (see the last picture for the reason I cant drive it anymore)… I have a new 6 volt battery that goes with it, as the one in the Jeep will no longer take a charge from sitting… The Jeep is in very nice shape, its been used, so there are some nicks, dings, scrapes, normal signs of use on the Exterior (nothing too ugly, see pictures), the Interior is in very nice condition for a 55 year old Utility Vehicle… It has been painted a Dark Blue & I am not sure if that was a Factory Color, but it looks okay & covered pretty well, the seats look like they have been recovered & are in good condition… There is very little rust, no holes that we can see, underside looks like it was undercoated MANY years ago… Due to the fact its been sitting for over two (2) years, and I cant do any work to it, like change the battery, drain the old gas & oil, Im leaving that up to the Buyer to do… It has approx. 37,000? miles on the Odometer, much less on the rebuild of the motor… This Willys was previously owned by the Chicago Fire department, and was well maintained… As the Jeep is 55 years old, there is no warranty, and its being sold in as-is condition… Ask Questions, send your Phone Number & I will call you ASAP!!! Thanks for Looking at my Willys…
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was eBay.
The seller is in Utah, but the Jeep is in Idaho. This looks good.
“1954 Willys Jeep CJ-3B. This is a clean, good running, original Willys Jeep. It has the original “Go Devil” engine which has been rebuilt. It runs and drives well and has been used very little over the past 20 years. It has excellent tires, the four wheel drive works as it should, and it is rust free. The jeep is stored in a heated garage and it has a clear title. It even has the original owner’s manual. I have super-sized the photos for clear viewing. Please look the photos over closely. This is a clean, original, 1954 Willy Jeep that could take you on a camping or hunting trip tomorrow. The shovel, tow bar, Jerry can for extra gas, Spare tire, etc. come with the Jeep. The Jeep is located in Blackfoot, Idaho. I will work with you regarding shipping.”
Clearly, this has some issues….
“I have a 1948 CJ 2a Willys for sale. I bought it as a parts vehicle for my other one. Time and money have not permitted me to work on this project. I need room in the garage because I have too many projects going on. It does not run. No title. It has lock out hubs on the front axle. It needs work and could make you a project or parts. Some of the photos are from the day I brought it home a few years back. the grill, fenders, hood, and windshield have been removed, but I still have them.”
