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 .

Has some mods and a Ford Pinto engine, though I don’t believe the company ever made a 2.4L for the Pinto. Interesting enough, there were multiple distinct versions of the 1.6L and 2.0L (this info on Pinto engines was an interesting read).
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/509914190911024/
“The body is in nice shape for a 76 year old vehicle. The engine has been replaced with a 2.4L from a Ford Pinto. It has a Warn overdrive on it. The carb needs some work but it does start. 2 sets of tires and both need replaced. Has soft doors and top that are in fair condition. Has title. Trades considered for vintage cars as long as they have 2 doors.”
Give the data plate serial number of 29621, I thought this might be a VEC CJ-2A chassis with an M-38 body. However, note the grille and front crossmember seem set up for a grille mounted radiator, rather than a front member mounted radiator. But, it is definitely CJ (not M-38) chassis. This doesn’t run.

“Here I have a 1947 Willy’s jeep that I believe to be the military version. It is almost complete with not to bad of rust. Motor is NOT locked up and spins freely. The radiator is missing, I do have the headlight that is missing in the pictures. I can take better pictures for more serious people. I am currently only looking to trade for a good 4 wheeler or possibly a pickup, classic VW, throw me a offer.Does have a clean title”
Listed as a 1949 CJ-3A, this had an early 2A grille, so may be more like a 1946-47. This also is pictured with a DJ-3A convertible windshield. The jeep has been disassembled.

“Willys cj3a project, was gonna do a full restoration but have decided to go another route. Taken apart currently but all the small pieces have been bagged and labeled.

New brakes lines and other brake components bought just never installed. Located in Nacogdoches. Price is OBO. will trade for ford truck stuff. 60-70s ford, OBS parts, would trade for a working two post lift.”

This apparently has a rear facing PTO, but there’s no hole in the bumper for the shaft to connect to a rear gearbox (or am I missing something).

Recent work includes: complete new exhaust, new master cylinder, new battery and voltage regulator, seat belts, new ignition and light switches, transfer case output shaft seal, windshield wiper assembly.

This looks to be an ex-racing jeep. That pinto engine might have some other HP updates besides the offy intake manifold. Note those “heart” rims; I’ve never seen them before (see last pic).

This has a Koenig half-cab. It could be worth a look.

“Everything works and is all there. It’s still a 6V system, has 3 sets of wheels including the original ones. It has the Koenig half cab, currently off the Jeep. It’s does have some rust but isn’t bad for a 74 year old vehicle”
Has the clutch been converted to hydraulic by using this setup? If so, it’s the first time I’ve seen it done this way.
