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 for trade.
It’s supposed to be in great shape, but it’s hard to tell this from the pics.

“This is a 1951 Willys UT Jeep. The body is complete and in good condition. The floor pans on the inside have rust. All of the gauges work. The engine is a L Head 4 cy. Transmission is a 3sp with hi/low transfer case 4wd. This jeep runs and drives great. I have owned this jeep for about 5 years. During that time I have had several people wanting to buy it. I purchased it with the intention of restoring it. Realizing that I just don’t have the time, I’ve decided to sell it. Also the title is free and clear.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
Rare convertible DJ.
“Up for auction is one of the rarest of all Jeeps. The DJ-3A Dispatcher was made from 1955 to 1964. Willys marketed the Dispatcher as a “Sport” vehicle and an inexpensive commercial delivery car. They used existing tooling and in-stock CJ parts to keep the cost low. That meant that they were trying to market a car with technology fresh from 1940! Keep in mind this car was built just months before Ford introduced the Mustang. No wonder this is a rare Jeep!
The example being auctioned is a 1963. The paint is original and shows only a few scratches and a few discolored spots. There are two small rust-through spots on the rear of the body at the rear body mounting brackets. The upholstery is original and is in excellent condition. The odometer reads a very believable 27,990 miles. DJ-3As are two-wheel-drive with three speed transmissions and column shift. This car has a limited slip differential! Comfortable cruising speed is around 40 mph….”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
There’s no reason not to think this CJ-5 has only 29,000 miles. It’s got a vintage top, looks solid, and even comes with an extension bed in the rear.
“Hunter’s special, 2 foot bed extender – 1962 Willys Jeep, only has 29,000 mi – F-Head 134, 4 cylinder.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(11/17/09) Here’s a CJ-3B that looks in good shape, though the exterior has been painted with a bed liner.
“For sale is an excellent condition 1953 Cj3b. I purchased the jeep in Kalispell, Montana in 2000. Since then, it has made several moves around the country and finally wound up here in Bend, Oregon. I kept the jeep in its original terrible condition for seven long years and would receive the half-hearted thumbs-up at stoplights. Now it turns heads everywhere it goes. The jeep has a bad history of turning a 10 minute trip to the store into a two hour discussion with an oldtimer who used to farm his property with this same model. Everywhere you drive, expect to stop and talk. We have even been pulled over by the state police, not because we were speeding (that’s impossible except for in school zones) but because he was curious to find out what was under the hood; having never seen the Willy’s high-hood before….”
The outside of the body looks solid.
“This an early cj2a, serial # 11325 which puts it being built in 1945. This jeep would make a great start for a restoration. It is very straight with little hat channel rust for 65 years.The side steps are solid and support weight. Runs good ( smokes a little) , all lights, dash light, horn work. Fourwheel drive and all gears work. Brakes work good for 9″. Things that are new: BATTERY 6 VOLT, 4 NEW TIRES, SEAT CUSHIONS, SIDE MIRROR, SPARE TIRE MOUNT, PROPER SIDE MOUNT MUFFLER WITH NEW MOUNTING HARDWARE. Been trying to put back original equipment. Shifting was put back on floor with a MB transmission . A lot of WWII parts on it. Sold as is , no warranty, Non refundable doposit of $500.00 48 hours at end of bidding. Balance due within 7 days unless other arrangments are made. Buyer responsible for shipping. Vehicle is towable. Oriqinal paint was forest green and autumn yellow….”
The front of this tilts down a bit too much, but otherwise this looks nice.
“Completely rebuilt and mostly original with a few added extras. Not a single bolt unturned. Bead blasted every part and painted with industrial epoxy paint. All bearings replaced, engine (flathead 4cylinder) completely rebuilt, completely rebuilt radiator rodded out, front and rear differentials rebuilt, transmission and transfer case rebuilt. EXTRA CLEAN JEEP!!! Dont want to sell but I have to due to the economy. You WILL NOT find another like this not even brand new. I personally did all of the work on this jeep and I completed all work to a perfection.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
“This is a very neat truck. The first year for the Willys jeep truck production was 1947, This truck was the 972 willys truck ever built out of only appx 2600 .. Its a 2 T model. 2 wd. With the rare Column shift transmission. Flat head 4cyl motor. It is in remarkable condition for its age. These are prone to rust and this one is very solid !!!
I purchased this truck at the Iola vintage car show. My son and I have taken it to some shows, driven it around town and had fun with it. Now we want to buy a muscle car . These trucks as well as any old car are prone to rust, What impressed me the most about this truck was how solid the body was. This willys has never had the floors patched !!! Even the nicest old cars ive seen have had the front floors patched. This jeep has the orig floors. very nice body mounts underneath. orig Willys rocker panels, Nice door bottoms. Orig steel front and rear fenders. No rust in bed floor. The only body damage is on the tailgate,which is dented in the middle. They do sell new ones. I dont know how old the paint job is. Not a show job, but shines nice. Has some scratchs here and there. Wheels have been repainted, Tires are old, It think the spare is the orig 1947 tire !!! The interior has a new headliner. Orig cover on the upper seat back, and recovered lower seat, Orig steering wheel, The wipers dont work. Doors open and shut great. Lights all work great”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500
This is worth a closer look. It appears to be sporting a M-38 dash panel.
“Willys 1949 CJ-3a, 4 cylinder 3 sp. 4×4, rebuilt top end. NEW: gas tank, windshield and frame, wheel cylinder. Runs good, needs master cylinder”
UPDATE: Price changed to $4000. Kudos to the seller for pointing out important issues.

“1946 jeep have papers and new plates runs great.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,000
(10/19/09) It looks nice, but I doubt it will fetch the asking price.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1200.
Here’s a running CJ-5 for only $1200. The rims look a little unusual.
“1959 jeep willys cj5. 4cyl 3 spd runs but needs brake work. Original hard top and both doors included.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500
(11/30/09) The seller has two other old jeeps, yet can’t say what year and model this is? It looks in good condition.
“Old Willys Jeep- 4×4 WW2 body style- Runs and drives good. Currently have two old Jeeps and I need more garage space”
This is a very honestly photographed Jeep. The seller has been generous with closeup pics of problem areas.
“1946 Willys Jeep CJ2A. It has a clear New Mexico Title and the numbers on the data plates match the number on the title. The body is in what I consider to be rough shape with it’s share of rust in all the normal places, please see pictures. The jeep does run, I will re-install the gas tank if the jeep needs to be shipped. The rims are the stock 16 inch and are all in good shape, three of the tires are good, one of them is cracked from age and does leak air slowly. There are no seats at all. The Jeep still has the 6 volt system (brand new battery) I have not driven the jeep at all so not sure how all the running gear works. Everything seems to go in and out of gear. Buyer will have to arrange shipping or pick up the Jeep. I will be able to assist with loading. If you have any questions or would like more pictures of a specific area let me know. If you want to talk to me call me at 505-803-8767 ask for Bill. This is a no reserve auction highest bidder will take it home.”
I can hear Kevin already …. This sure looks like a solid wagon. I think someone will get a great deal with this.
“I have a 1956 willys station wagon, it needs a new motor or rebuild, I lost the title so no title but I can write a bill of sale, it would make a good project, I am asking 1000 but am also up for trades, I am looking for a running vehicle to get my family around, if you have any questions feel free to contact Paul 719-360-3054 eastridge_p@yahoo.com”

UPDATE: This is back on eBay. I’ve added a few more pics.
(11/03/09) This looks good.
“You are bidding on a 1947 WILLYS CJ2A. Frame off rebuild 10 years ago, garaged & summer driven only since. Original except for front hubs, tires,. top and added roll bar.”
John spent this past fall and winter doing some cosmetic restoration to this great looking GPW. John says he’s keeping this GPW for a while, so please don’t send him any sales inquiries. Thanks for sharing!
See all of the images of his GPW here
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Best offer takes it. It hasn’t been run in a few years.
“1951 Willy’s Jeep. Great project. flat 4 engine was rebuilt 5 years ago, still needs new/rebuilt carborator and new rear seal. Body/Seats need work. Has sat for the last 5 years, I did not have the mony to complete rebuilding it.”
The seller claims this jeep only has 5100 miles. It looks pretty stock, but hard to believe the miles are that low.
“For Sale 1962 Willys CJ5 Jeep 5,100 original miles with Meyers 6′ snow plower in very good condition call 860-614-7096”
http://hartford.craigslist.org/cto/1568675125.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The drain holes have been plugged, which I suspect means there’s been some work done on the passenger and driver’s side areas of the body.
“You are 1946 Willys in great condition. This truck has been completely restored and looks and runs great. It has always been garage kept. We are selling it due to lack of room. This truck needs a good home. Transmission in great condition. Own your own piece of WWII history. This truck is as is, there is no warranty. This is pick up only. Happy Bidding. If you have any questions feel free to ask.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
(12/20/09) I’m not sure if this runs or not.
