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 .
This is one of several automobiles the seller has for sale.

UPDATE: The seller has added a trailer into the deal
(01/09/09) It looks like there might be some rust on the driver’s side, but hard to tell for sure from the pic.
“

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $2750.
The seller notes there’s rust, but I can’t see much on the pics. It’s almost ready for the road, but the seller doesn’t mention what it needs. (thanks Robert!)
“1960 Willys 4X4 wagon with original continental ‘226’ 6 cyl engine, 3 spd high an low. Optional lock outs, snow plow and p.t.o. winch. The engine is an excellent factory rebuilt. Body has usual midwest rust with amateur patchs and paint. It drove excellent, but had a click in reverse. I pulled cover off trans an discovered tooth out of reverse idler gear. Have parts to fix. No time this winter. Will offer as is for $2750. Body panels available, and restored these are bringing big bucks. Will consider storing until summer if paid for.”
This looks clean and solid.
“1949 WILLYS OVERLAND JEEPSTER FOR SALE. I spent years looking for the right one to restore, but now I have to let it go. My loss is your gain! Call 520-940-3132”

It runs and doesn’t look too terrible.
“1957 Willy’s Jeep Willy 4×4 Forward Controls. Needs Restoration. $1500.00. Info Call Joe. 203-239-9715.”
http://newhaven.craigslist.org/cto/1547312625.html
UPDATE: The seller has dropped the price to $2000 and is throwing in a beat up 1952 M-38. I’d say this is a good price.
(12/27/09) The seller notes that this would not make a good original restoration projection.
“I have a 1952 M38 for sale along with a 1955 M170. The M38 is still 24 volt and would make a great restoration project, it does not run. The M170 has been converted to 12 volt and has aftermarket seat frames, it would also make a great project. The M170 was a military ambulance when it was in service. Both are classic vehicles and would be great for trail jeeps or collectibles. I priced them together and cheap because i need to get rid of both of them. All i am asking is to get my money back out of them. Please call or text 334-750-1062 and ask for Mac. I am 25-30 miles outside of columbus. Please no emails. Thanks for looking!”

The pics aren’t the greatest, but this might be nice.
“I hate, hate, hate that I have to sell this Jeep. I purchased in the early 2000’s and have 293 recorded man hours into the restoration. I have a full photo album of pictures from the very early stages through completion. However, none are online. I have taken a few pictures of the pictures with my camera phone.
Too much detail to go into regarding the restoration, but I do have a printout of everything that went into it. It runs well and is started weekly to keep everything in working order. T-90 Transmission and Transfer Case Model 18. Engine: #J45856. This restoration is one of the nicest that I’ve ever seen. This jeep is a great collectible and a piece of American history. Please feel free to ask questions, I’ll do my best to answer. $15,000.00 OBO… Make an offer!”

Someone traded this in for a Jag perhaps?

(12/6/09) For the 4wd not to work, is the front drive shaft missing?

UPDATE: This was listed for $800. Read the comment for an update.
Clean out the fuel line and replace the fuel pump and you might have a running CJ-5 for under $1000.
“
Willy’s CJ5, 4 cyl, 3 speed. Has fuel problems, does not run. Needs work, a good project Jeep. Has clear title. ”
I like this old CJ. There’s no reserve, so that initial price is a good one for this.

(12/09/09) This looks in good condition. I’ll be heading down to Salt Lake (ogden is right on the way) in about 10 days and could look at it if it is still available.
1960 Willys CJ3B – 35K Original miles in Excellent Condition with All Original Running Gear. Frame and body are in exceptional condition, there is very little cancer. Has New Interior & Paint. Needs a top, new tires, and a tune up.From the looks of the vehicle the mileage which shows 40K is original and I think many are miles towed. There is very little rust in the front floors but it has plates bolted in, none in the bed. There is also some in the front fender supports. I don’t thinkit was preped to well butit is a decent paint job. It hasbeen converted to 12 volt. There is no overdrive but the tans and transfercase seem tight and do stay in gear. the seats are he original frames but have been recovered (I believe). It has original warn lockout hubs. The hard top was taken upto eugene and it is an original aluminum hardtop,I maybe able to get pictures.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $850.
The engine is out, but this sure looks like a good price.
“1962 Jeep CJ-5 Willys. NO RUST (even on floor) I think it might even have the orginal paint. Currently has engine remove (I was going to do an engine swap). Comes with orginal engine (probally needs rebuild). I have owned and used the Jeep for a few years around my property. Transmission, transfer case, and axles are in great shape. There are many different engines that can be swaped into it or you can rebuild the orginal 134 f-head. CALLS ONLY ON EMAILS.
That’s one tall roll bar.
“rebuilt motor , driveline, suspension, brakes; works excellent; garaged; rust free uncut; original; low mileage; needs paint; e-mail or call and leave a message 520-219-0994.”
http://tucson.craigslist.org/cto/1535557831.html
I don’t see too much rust on this. It might be a good price.
“Willys Wagon four wheel drive. All original, 67K miles, interior complete and in good shape, dash not chopped up, 226-6 flat head runs good, just changed oil and replaced fuel pump. 4WD , twin stick transfer case works good, lock outs work good. Body is in okay shape, has “Willys Rust” . Extra complete motor and misc. parts, service manual included. Good clear title. I bought it as a project earlier this year and started to work out the bugs. Got it running and driving pretty good just needs a little more TLC. Enthusiasts preferred, I want to see the Willys go to someone who can keep it alive.”

UPDATE: Well, Steve couldn’t stand the thought of someone not restoring this truck, so he bought it and has offered to provide updates to ewillys readers as he restores it. Best of luck Steve!
A reader named Steve examined this Truck today. It’s got a Dump O Matic Hydraulic Dump Bed. Steve felt this was more work than he was looking for, but thought it would be great ‘for the right Willys Addict’. Thanks Steve!
Steve reports, “This was the first year for the pickup with only 2,346 4WD models built. The bed has a fair amount of body rot, but could be repaired or replaced. The cab is original and mostly complete. It’s not dented or molested. The engine is seized (but included to keep matching numbers) and the seat bottom and headliner are missing. A replacement engine is included that came from a military generator that was religiously maintained and ran on propane. The tires are dry rotted, but the frame looks good.”
Here’s the Craigslist AD:
“1947 Jeep pick-up. 4 wheel drive. Dump O Matic pick up bed. Truck is in fair condition for an unrestored truck of this age. This is a restoration project.There is rust but cab and floor are in good condition.Truck has 42000 miles. Last time on road was 1987. For more information call David at 401-465-9490”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000.
(11/04/2010)
“First of all please note my stellar feedback so you can bid with confidence. I expect the buyer to be the same. Out of my collection is this very original 1946 CJ-2A Willys with matching civilian 1946 TC-3B Bantam trailer. This Willys is a frame off restoration. It is refinished in the original and correct color of Harvest Green. It has the correct original running gear: 134-L Go Devil engine, T-90 trans and Dana 18 transfer case. This Willys would do well in any show and is turn key ready. Best of all, you can drive it anywhere. The reserve is set MUCH less than comparable vehicles on the market and this INCLUDES the Bantam trailer. Odometer shows 47,290. I don’t know if this is actual or not. The following are all new or professionally rebuilt. Look at the pic’s…”
This looks like a pretty nice truck for only $2500.
“This is a really nice 4×4 Willys Wagon, runs strong!! With no issues! Has a 327 engine, brand new tires – great fun!! I will consider trades. (comes with extra chrome parts)”
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/1534751058.html
The auction on this just completed on this very stock jeep. This was a one-family jeep that looks very solid and appears fairly rust free, though the floor boards deserve some inspection based on the floorboard pic. This didn’t last long (less that 24 hours) before someone offered the buy-it-now price of $4500. I’m a little surprised it went so quickly for that much. It does have the original bill of sale (last pic) which is cool.
“I am selling my 1948 CJ2A. I am located in Lexington, SC. This Jeep was bought brand new by my Grandfather in March of 1948. I have the original bill of sale as well as a clear title. My grandfather passed away in 1987 and the Jeep sat in a barn until 2007. The Jeep is now in good running order, but I do not have the dedication or the funds to take it to the next level of restoration.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was$3800.
(02/21/2010) “Aluminum 1/2 cab, heater 12v alt new gas gauge, new sending unit, 12 v ele fuel pump new solex carb have orig, new plugs, new cap & rotor,point,cond. new elec wiper motor. new temp gauge mech. new spare tire mount, good title, orig steel body New lube in all gear boxs,new battery”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1650.
(10/16/09) It runs, but has a clutch problem.
“
Complete. Has all components. Great project for the jeep enthusiast. Engine runs like a clock. Smooth and quiet. Seems to have a clutch problem. Call (do not email) Jerry for details.”
