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 .
Brett found this unusually painted CJ-3A. I can’t tell if this is a well executed canvas of trees and limbs or an arbitrary splashing of paint.
“

UPDATE: Was $2000. **SOLD**
(03/21/2010) Includes emergency brake (installed under the front, driver’s-side wheel).
“1948 willys cj2s, needs tranny rebuilt, has a 225 odd fire v6 that run, axels are good, brakes are good, has rust, need restored. I used the tranny out of it for another jeep and no longer need this one so its time to sell. Rebuild or replace the tranny, one front brake hose, and this will drive. I have tranny/transfer case with it, its all there, its all there except the park grake handle ( I never had one ) just need rebuilt and put back in.Top is in ok condition, its all stock except the v6. all the lights work. I have no room to keep this, so it needs a new home.”
While it was cold and rainy, mixed with, gulp, a little snow here in Boise, weather improved out in Ohio for the Midwest Willys Reunion. Both Bob and Brian snapped a variety of images and gave their own perspectives
Bob writes, “Much better weather today in the mid 70s. There looked to be about 100 Jeeps of all sorts today. There were lots of Cj2as and 3as, three CJ3Bs, and lots of truck and wagons. A whole lot to look at! The little Jeep dispatcher [the red jeep a few pics down] was very cool and sold for around $5500. Also, there were lots of parts to be had. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the high 80s.”
Hey Bob, what is sticking out of the side of the yellow flattie? Is it an air cleaner? Is the ‘windshield’ glass or plexiglass?
What’s the color on this flattie, red or orange or a blend? I like the color. Nice dually, too!
This is the DJ-3A that sold. Are these DJ-3A windshields taller than a CJ-3B windshield? Or were they simply re-purposed for the DJ-3A?
I’m assuming that is an aftermarket bumper? I can’t say I’ve seen one of these on any jeeps for sale that I have seen.
Brian seemed to be captivated by the trucks and wagons during this visit. He captured some great pics of Chad’s project (Chad received the Toledo Brick award, something the Reunion staff has been doing for several years now. It’s a brick from the old Jeep plant in Toledo.) and a pic of his favorite at the show, this wagon below (click on the pic to get a much larger pic).
Here’s images of Chad’s truck:
And 2 other wagons:
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,000. It has a Muller Top.
UPDATE: More pics. Some interesting pics of the custom soft top. Price dropped to $10,000. This also comes with the electric overdrive, which demonstrates you can sneak one of these behind a transfercase in a flattie.
(10/06/2009) It looks like there’s been some well done customizations. I’d like to see more pics to see more.
“Rare 1953 Willy is a spectacular addition to any Jeep enthusiast • Custom Top • Custom Paint w/ Ghost Flames • New Tires & Wheels • V6 Chevy Motor • Rebuilt Front End • New Front & Rear Gears & Bearings • New Rear Axles • New Rear Springs • New 14” Brakes • New Radiator • Lots of Chrome & Stainless • Studebaker Electric Over Drive. My loss is your gain! Asking only $10,000 when I have over 18k Invested.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
I like this one. If it were closer ….. This appears to be an old club jeep with the rare windshield mod and some great old slot rims. It also has an updated column, probably power steering, and likely swing pedals. This might make a good foundation for an old school build.
“1947 Willys Jeep- set up for small block Chevy engine. No engine in it now. $1000.00 or best offer.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000. this might have a rare M-38 split windshield.
Here’s what looks like a M-38 (it’s even printed on the front bumper), which means the seller’s year of 1944 is off for some reason. Though, it appears to be missing the passenger side tool indents. This will require a closer look.
“For sale is a partially restored 1944 Willys Jeep. Engine and running gear runs well. $4000.00 OBO. Please respond via email.”
Brett spotted this interesting find. There are at least 3 unusual features on this CJ. The most obvious one is the paint job; unclear what the inspiration was, but it’s unusual. The second feature is the automatic transmission that has a column shift rather than a floorshift, which is a clever mod. Finally, while I have seen expanded windshields, I can not remember seeing an expanded windshield that uses a CJ-2A frame (with the exception of the one below this post — strange how these things surface sometimes).

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2900.
Brett and the Utah eWillys Bureau should be proud of this find. Check out the sort-of-custom body on this jeep. I’d like to check this out more closely to see exactly what’s left of the old body (if anything).
“1951 Willys Jeep. 283 V8 Chevy small block, 4 speed transmission with 33×12.50 tires. Custom built body, new corbeau seats with harnesses. Runs strong, new wiring, new gas tank. I never use it so it just sits in the garage. Time for it to go.”
UPDATE: Was $1350.**SOLD**
How about that windshield! I’d like to take a closer look at that.
“Great Project for any collector of Ex Militery Vehicles from WWII or just a great vehicle for the beach! It has a rebuilt 231 V6 which needs to be finished, all parts are there. It just needs the right person to put it together!”
Thanks to a reader named Brett for pointing out this jeep. The front part of the jeep appears to be a M-38, though the year is off. On the other hand, the rear body on this jeep looks suspiciously CJ-5ish. I’d like to see some close up pics to see how the front and rear of the body has been merged. Perhaps it is a M-38 and 1954 M-38A1?
“1954 Jeep Military. !2 volt alt, 4 cyl flat head engine, front and rear seats,body in good condition. Brake wheel cylinders have been replaced. Body is in good condition with little or no rust. Selling Jeep and buying 4 wheeler. Come and see it at 210 North Main Street, Kanosh, Utah 84637.”

(02/12/09) This CJ-2A has a number of custom details. The engine compartment looks nicely laid out. This jeep also sports the enlarged windshield; I’m not certain if this is custom or an aftermarket product?? .
“1947 Willys jeep with Chevy 283 small block (runs great), 3 speed, NO RUST,set up for duel optima batteries, rewired the whole jeep, took all the old nuts and bolts and replaced them with new,full roll cage,costom bumpers, holds matching (new) 33×14.50 spare tire and Hi-lift jack mount, $600 Holey truck avenger, $800 clutch, Exhaust, rhino liner tub, excelent front seats with back bench seat (seat belts), Custom windsheild and doors that lock, custom Cooper top, Racho suspension (leaf springs, shocks, shackles) Dana 30 front with disc brakes and locker, Dana 44 rear,too much to remember but I have reciepts for allmost everything I’ve done to it in the last 14 years. I’ve only put around 200 miles on it since I’ve owned it which means everything is in like new condition except for paint has brush scratches, 2 ez fix dents (nothing bigger than a lemon). Dana 44 left side axle shaft is bent and needs to be replaced (not the whole axle assembly). Theres a lot more but cant remember everything. Point is.. if you like the jeep and you want something classic that is a major head turner for the family to enjoy for years to come like my family and I have enjoyed. It’s the most reliable old jeep in the world:) I used to put car seats in it and me and my girls would be off finding those hidden fishing holes and camp sites. I thought I would own this jeep for ever but I lost my good job and now I’m under paid and have to make big sacrifices. I’ve already done everything that needs to be done to an old jeep so now all you have to do is make me an offer and steal it. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.
“I have a 53 willys jeep cj3a that needs a block I have many new parts starter, carburetor, clutch, crank and many more I also have a 55 Willys basket case truck that is all all there I have started a frame off restoration on the frame has been boxed and sandblasted and painted body work has been started I also have a dana 44 front axle.

I would like to get 500obo for the jeep & 1000obo for the truck. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $10,5000.
(10/12/09) Lots of mods on this flattie.

(08/26/09) This package would be interesting to examine. It includes an overdrive.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
This doesn’t have a motor. It has a Muller Top.
“
antique yes custom yes running not yt but ready for a 350 chevy to drop in.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $850. I assume the unusual windshield is due to the hard top.
Here’s a jeep with an unusual top. and it appears to be a lefty, though the tire is mounted pretty high.
“Project i never had time for, nearly complete except for a few parts that were taken by midnight shoppers. starter air cleaner,carb missing.”
UPDATE: The status of this is unknown.
This is an extremely unusual flattie. The seller provides a great deal of info about it. It’s been featured in various magazines.
“1946 “Willys” Jeep CJ-2. The “Jeepilac” as it is known (Jeep with a Cadillac engine) was professionally built by Johnson Welding Works. They are a local shop and are very well known in the area for building high quality street rods using top quality parts with attention to detail and safety. It has 2,700 miles since the build …. ”
This vehicle was also featured in the movie “Smash Cut“.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1400.
This is a great price. I assume the windshield is from a hard top.

UPDATE: The price has dropped to $3500
The paint job on this is interesting. The bumper is pretty wild; I guess the jeep was used for pushing?
“The body is in good shape it runs and drives tires are good dont leak has a toe bar on the front with a custom front bumper.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
