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 .
Check out the hubcaps. The hard top might be newer, but I couldn’t say for sure. This might be a good, find.

UPDATE: This appears to have been sold … was listed at $4500
This has gone through a recent restoration.
“1946 CJ2A Runs good 32″ super swampers 134l head flat head 4 cycliner. Been converted to 12 volt system. Stripped the frame and redid 2 years ago. All new steering and brakes. Didnt make it too pretty to use!!THEY DONT MAKE EM LIKE THIS ANYMORE!! Possible CJ5 or CJ7 trades.”
This looks to be a good CJ-2A. I don’t think the pics do it justice.
“1948 Willys CJ2A. Mechanically you will not find a better running cj2a in the area. It has been gone over mechanically from top to bottom. Everything as far as the drive train goes is in excellent working order. All parts that have been replaced have been kept and I have a sizeable quantity of new after market parts that will go with the vehicle, to include a spare transmission still in box. I have some body parts and sheet metal to replace any rusted areas on the tub etc.
There is rust on floor boards and in spots on wheel wells but as I said, I have purchased sheet metal parts to replace these areas. I’ll save that step for whoever buys my 2a. My sons and I have a great time driving this vehicle around chapel hill. We had a great “sledding safari” last winter. All mechanicals work smoothly on this jeep. It is a great piece of working history and I would love to send it to a good home. Please call 919-259-8447 if interested. Asking 5000 or best offer.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
This appears solid. It’s a former fire department jeep.
“1946 CJ2A— restoration started- lots of new parts. This Willys was purchased from a fire dept. where it had been stored inside for years. The only rust is small under the tool lid. The hood has been stripped in and out. This jeep runs, has had fluids changed, new tires, plugs, wires, etc.. I have both front seats ready to put in with good upholstery. I also have rubber seals for the windshield. Needs new master cylinder installed. Radiator was cleaned and painted, works great. New hoses and belt. The reserve is low. GOOD LUCK.”
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was listed at $7500.
Here’s a very rare Willys. If the serial number is correct, it is 1 of 2 known of this model, though it has been ‘re accessorized” into a standard CJ-3A.
My investigation into this topic started tonight after Dan spotted this ad. He said, ‘check out the serial number because I think it is a Tractor Jeep’.
I copied there first part of the serial number (451-GD1) and pasted it into Google and hoped for the best. Seconds later, I had my answer. It turns out, the CJ-3A.com website had all the info I needed. There’s an entire page about both the Jeep Tractor and the Farm Jeep, both ‘farm’ versions of the CJ-3A introduced in 1951 and designed specifically for farms.
The standard CJ-3A serial number beings with 451 GB1, while the Farm Jeep uses 451 GC1 and the Tractor Jeep uses 451 GD1. The ‘Farm Jeep’ was intended both for farm use and general purpose use and the ‘Tractor Jeep’ was designed exclusively for Farm use, eliminating a variety of items, including “front shocks, a spare tire, windshield, tailgate, headlights, fuel-pump booster, speedometer, and horn”
The CJ-3A.com site reports that only 1 451-GD1 has been documented. If everything checks out, this will be the second one found. You can see a close up of the serial number plate here.
So, the next time you check out a CJ-3A, double check that serial number.
“This is a solid and strong jeep. It has a unique serial number – 451-GD1 10036.
Engine is a L-134 “Go Devil” – 4 cyl iron block.
Transmission – Dana 18
Front Axle – Dana 25
Rear Axle – Dana 44″
This looks pretty solid that the Utah Office spotted.
“1967 cj5 its in good shape being as its 43 years old motor has been rebiult once new exhaust need tires and a battery will drive home on its on could use a freash paint could be a realy great drive around town or rock crawler”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $1700
(11/02/09) It sounds like price is at least somewhat flexible. Must Sell.
“1960 Jeep Willy’s FC-170 Flathead 6 cylinder. Runs, needs restoration. I love this truck dearly, but our house needs a new roof! I’d like to get around $2,000. for it, but will take best offer. Must sell now!Call Mike at 510-593-5860”
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/2013602152.html
It’s not perfect, but the price sure is good.
“would consider trades for running 4×4 pickups, motorcycles or snow blade equipment, log splitters, small campers, tools or interesting trades.”
http://sd.craigslist.org/cto/2010984094.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1700.
This runs. It might be a good price.
“This is a 1947 Willys Jeep. I am not crazy about selling it but my dad needed the parking spot in the shed for a tractor. Instead of letting it sit out in the weather I decided to pass it on to someone who might be able to use and enjoy it. I bought this jeep from a friend who was forced to sell it for exactly the same reason. Believe it or not the jeep was original to his family and I am only the second owner. My friend drove it as his only means of transportation growing up until he parked it in his father’s barn 15 years ago. I bought it as a project and actually got it running great. I replaced more things than I care to list but will be glad to explain it all to any interested parties. I found that parts for this model are relativley inexpensive and easy to find. It still needs work but not as much as you would think. I feel that most of the work is cosmetic but I liked the patina and wouldn’t do it personally.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2250.
(09/25/2010) If the rust situation is good, this might be a good price.
“1948 willys jeep cj2a 33000 original miles all stock except wheels and tires title in hand and colectors lic. plate 2500.00 obo you could drive this home today.”
It runs and appears solid. It looks like a good price.

http://fortcollins.craigslist.org/cto/2011598046.html

“Selling my grandpa’s farm truck. 1962 Willys pick-up, it’s been in the barn that it drove into for the past 18-20 years. Does not run now and is rough but it’s all there and has lots of good parts.

“1950 Jeep Willys Panel. Very unusual panel truck, most of these Jeeps had side windows. This is a 2 WD with what we believe to be a Chrysler 383 with an automatic transmission. They never completed the engine installation and the engine is locked up. The body is very straight and rust free and would make a great project. We have a title for this vehicle and can arrange shipping anywhere. For questions call Rich 719-338-1053.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $6500
(09/21/2010) I have never heard of a middle seat for a CJ-3A. I did a search, but couldn’t find anything.

UPDATE: Still Available
(06/11/2010) It looks in good shape, despite the odd paint job.
“I have a jeep willys cj3a. I think it is a 51 but not 100% on that. It runs needs a carb tune up I have to have the choke out a little to run smooth. My daughters and I drive it all around our property we love this thing it will go anywhere. It is all original even has the Willys Overland from Toledo ohio metal plate still on the dash. It also still has the metal plates on the dash that tell you how to shift it. I hate to get rid of it but I have no choice have another baby on the way and need the money. Everything works on it 4 wheel drive high and low. We hop in it and drive it alot and we have alot of fun in it but it has to go. Being all original it would make a great rebuild or just one you can jump in and drive the way it is. would also make a great hunting buggy i used it for that to. I am asking $3700”

This appears solid, though that driver’s fender has been bent.

Not much info …

“Old flat fender military Jeep for restoration. This is the Ford GPW version with original tags and clear title.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
This might be a good parts jeep. The windshield and frame look good.
“NO TITLE. 1949-51 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. Last registered in 1988. According to the guy I bought it from, it was being used for pulling a brush hog (mowing) until recently and the last registered owner was in the West Texas (Abilene) area. Jeep is intact with good windshield, headlight bezels, grill, hood and other parts. Also, engine is dis-assembled but appears to be complete. It is a flathead 4 cyl. As you can see, all tires are on the vehicle and hold air; spare is also mounted on the side and appears that it is new, although weathered. Plenty of good parts available; transmission and transfer case; engine; front and rear axles; tow bar and rear step with trailer hitch, and a PTO. According to my internet research, this was specifically built as a farm use vehicle, hence the PTO and what appears to be a belt drive. I bought this from a friend who became disabled and needed the money, but I have too many other projects to take on this one at this time. Questions? e-mail me.
This looks solid and has some body dings for character.
“Regretfully, I am selling my 1942 Ford GPW Jeep. This authentic WWII beauty is registered and regularly taken out for a jaunt around the neighborhood. The floor boards are solid and the brass plates are all intact. Keep it as is for a head turning, open air cruiser or turn it into a priceless father son restoration project. I am asking $6000. Send me a message for more details or to see it in person.”
http://capecod.craigslist.org/cto/2005490181.html
UPDATE: This appears to have sold quickly. The jeep and trailer were priced at $2500.
“1944 Willys Jeep with trailer. Was street legal and tagged. Tire went flat and I parked it in the garage 9 years ago. Original jeep tires were hard to find. Good project for the military vehicle fan or would make a great hunting jeep. Comes with extra canvas.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000.
It sure looks like it has been sitting.
“This 1958 Willys FC150 cab over engine stake bed jeep has been sitting for a few years.
It is not running now, but it is not mechanically broke. It is a 12 speed with a PTO. It has reversed rims for stability, and could be a good workhorse for someone, or show jeep. The jeep is located in San Ramon, and you have to call to see it. It is a FC150. I’ve priced it to sell because I need the space.
