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 .

(10/08/2010) This looks solid. It sounds like the seller is motivated.

Technically, the first year of production on civilian jeeps was 1945. This CJ sounds like it has an interesting history.
“This is the Original Grand Daddy of all Civilian Jeeps- the Willy’s CJ2a is the first model year of the post WWII civilian market run. This is a very rare collector’s item. This is unit # 70007. She is in excellent shape. This one was kept in a Detroit Show Room for over 25 years prior to being in storage for 10 years. When the dealer passed away his estate sold off all assets and that is how we found her, 5 years ago. We have the original Magazine Adds from Time Magazine, July 15, 1946.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000
This appears in good shape.
“Good condition. Tow Bar – trailer hitch – back seat with storage area – seat belts – new battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
The seller of the body has thrown in a running CJ-3A for combo price of $2500. I have to say, I’d really like this combo. I think that’s a good price.
“1952 jeep. runs and drives.comes with new fiberglass body. $2500.00 or maybe make an offer? teach the kids how to drive.family resto project,who knows”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I *think* I see the column shifter on this, but I can’t tell for sure …
“
For sale 1945 Willys Cj2a farm Jeep with pto . The Jeep does run and drive . This is one of the first civilian Jeeps made after the war and is a true factory farm Jeep with pto option. It came from Arizona so the body is pretty decent.”
UPDATE: This CJ-3A sold for $9700 via eBay.
Steve sold this restored CJ-3A. If you want to see a well done, complete restoration, check out all these pics.
“It is painted Luzon Red with Universal Beige trim. http://gallery.me.com/jstephen1h#100049”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
This doesn’t run at this time.
“1957 FC 170 (FORWARD CONTROL) 8,000 lbs. on the tag. Overall truck is in good condition for its age and the way the FC’s rust out. Has some small holes in floor by your feet and some small rot in cab corners. Has the hurricane straight 6 in it with the high low box. The engine ran about 5 years ago but was parked due to faulty brakes. The engine now spins over freely but has no spark, looks like a points, condensor, rotor, cap, and wires are needed to hear her run again. The steel stake bed is fully functional dumping box with its own PTO lever and pump and resovoir. This is the first year of hte FC and the only produced them for 6 years. I have many pics and can send them if you would like.”
Doesn’t run.

A reader purchased this deal.
“My wife says I have too many toys! I bought this to restore and play with and I have never gotten to it. It is stored inside I bled the breaks but they probably need a break job to be dependable. Starts and runs great. Motor really purrs. It’s in nice shape for how old it is. Sure would be fun to fix up or restore like new or play as is. Come take a look .”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
This looks like a good price.
“All original. Runs great. Used as hunting vehicle.”
UPDATE: This appears to have been sold. Was priced at $1000!
(11/13/2010) This looks like a good buy in Southern Texas.
“2 Willys Jeeps – A ’61 with blue title and do not know the year of the other jeep. Both were running (4cyl engines) but have been sitting for a long time and need work. Good restoration project or part them out. Both for $1,000.”
UPDATE: Was $2000. Status Unknown.
Doesn’t run at the moment (battery dead).
“All original & complete, good shape. good seats, metal top, chains & snow plow. Parked last 4 years, motor turns over, has dead battery.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
(10/27/2010) This looks pretty good for the price. It includes a rear PTO. I’m guessing it runs …
“FOR SALE or trade 1953 Willy’s CJ-3B, rare option bench seat and rear PTO Winch, would like to trade for 660 Grizzly or 500 Polaris, may consider other utility 4×4”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Auctioned.
There are a couple interesting issues with this CJ-3B. First, note the unusual windshield, which almost appears chopped down. Second, note the fenders; These just don’t look quite right. I’m even wondering if they are plywood?
The image below does provide a pretty good shot of that left front frame rail and it looks pretty clean, suggesting the frame is in really good shape. The body also looks pretty straight, which adds to my confusion about the fenders.
I’m not sure how rare these are in Canada, but I suspect they are as rare there as they are in the U.S.
“1980 J54 (CJ3B Willys Jeep) made by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, 4RD5 Diesel, Dana drive train, rear LSD. 250 337 5352”
http://comoxvalley.en.craigslist.ca/cto/2049071096.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2100. Has a Kelly hardtop.
I’m not sure how many CJ-6s there are in Canada, so this might be a pretty rare vehicle.
“1964 Willys CJ6 has swapped in 302 engine. It’s complete but needs work, not drivable.
Fors 302 with T90 transmission and Dana 18 transfer-case with warn overdrive. Has old metal hard top and doors. Front bench seat no rear seats. Includes spare CJ6 frame with diffs and a F-head engine also have another complete F head. This jeep has valid BC registration.”
This looks like a good price on a solid CJ-2A.
“1948 willys cj2a. runs and looks great . hard top that does come off. 50mph top speed on hwy,but it will go all most any where in 4 wheel drive. body straight,no dents. 134 cu in 4 cyl. engine all stock. roll bar, tow bar. great little jeep. lets talk. would like to sell and get a 20 ft pontoon boat.”

It sounds like they just want to get rid of this. It appears complete.
“48 Willys that has been sitting for a while. We don’t know if it runs so its probably just good for parts. Make me an offer. 715 604 0073 please text if possible.”

“TAKING OFFERS ON A VINTAGE WW2 JEEP. PLEASE LOOK AT THE CLIP AND HEAR IT RUN .”
UPDATE: Was Make Offer. **SOLD**
This appears to be a late ’46/early ’47 CJ-2a.
“Willys jeep 4×4 for sale. Jeep is in the Sulphur Springs area. Extra parts include: engine head, fuel filters, coil, head light and more….”
Ben spotted this mostly restored GTB. The seller has included lots of images.
“Due to a injury, I need to sell a few items from my personal collection. This truck runs and drives nice, and according to the previous original owner, had 8300 original miles when I purchased it ( has 8600 now). It has a Current Calif title. Four wheel drive works, Winch works both directions.
All numbers match, including Data Plates, frame, transmission and engine, which is rare as not all GTB’s have the number stamped into the engine block. Although the data plates say “Navy”, these trucks were delivered to both the Army & Navy. This particular truck most likely went straight to the Army, as the original coat of paint is OD green, and, as far as I can tell, there were no subsequent coats of Navy gray. I painted this truck when I first got it several years ago, and gave it a fresh coat this past summer. The numbers on the hood are correct, as found under the old paint….”
