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 $4995
Pretty stock and little sign of rust. The windshield seems to be fitting a little oddly.
“1947 Willy’s CJ2A “flat fender” Jeep. 4 cylinder with 3 speed transmission and Dana 18 – 2 stick hi/low transfer case. Lock out hubs, almost new NDT tires, new gas tank, recently replaced the differential third member, 12 volt system with alternator, tow bar and extra rear seat.

UPDATE: Leo discovered this jeep sold for $15,000 at the in-person auction on Saturday April 20th.
WOW! Doug just spotted this early VEC. It is listed as a 1945 and looks wonderfully stock, with full floaters, column shift, three data tags and (I think) square bolt heads on the windshield.
This may be worth a look.

(04/02/2013) It clearly isn’t stock, but seems solid. Check out the diamond plating under the dash; that’s unusual.

This jeep has been refurbished. The column shift and grille have been changed. Unclear if it still has the tool indents.
“Full frame up restoration using 2 donors and a New-old-stock parts source.
Original engine, etc. A few things are new (grill, wheels), as I haven’t found the original parts yet. Also, converted to a floor shifter, because the column shifters were horrible.
Less than 5k miles since restoration. Works as a daily driver, or take care of the rest of the cosmetic stuff and have a show car.

UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was priced at $1200.
While the body looks rough, this jeep appears to have a rare set of Free-Lock Hubs (so easy a child can engage them).
“It’s all there. Clear title. asking $1200”
UPDATE: SOLD. Was listed at $6900.
“1948 Willys CJ2A flatfender classic, rebuilt 4-cylinder, rebuild 3-speed transmission, rebuilt transfer case, rebuilt overdrive (meaning it will cruise at 55 mph!), rebuilt brakes and axles, period-correct tan paint with grey seats and factory orange wheels, new NDT tires, all-new wiring, every gauge works, new glass, new gas tank, no issues. $6900.00. This Jeep was rebuilt by my son, with help from 4 Wheelers Supply, Hopper’s Automotive, Stoney Mountain Jeep and Chandler Auto-Truck Electric. We have all receipts. Only selling because my son is in South America for two years. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
It’s rough.
“I have clear clear missouri title in my name in my hand. This willeys has the original drive tran less the engine and trans. It was replaced with a small block chevy and a 4 speed. The engine does not run and you can asume it is locked up and will need to be replaced. I gave up on this jeep many years ago, but today found the Title, so let’s see if anyone would like to get this back on the roads. All the sheet metel is there except the tailgate. The frame has been modified becouse of rust in the front section.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
(01/28/2013) This appears to have a mix of parts.
“WWII Jeep Willy M-38 jeep for sale. Title says 1941 as the age, but may be older. I have 2 motors for it! Motor removed for rebuilding. It is a l-head. I also have an f-head . Several other jeep parts for sale- too many to list. Getting out of the jeep rebuild idea! Call for a list of parts. Will sell parts separately or everything for $3400 OBO”
UPDATE: Ted sent me more pics
Ted sent me a picture of his friend Jim’s jeeps. If anyone knows of a Mahl front loader, Jim would like to buy one.
Here’s the short list on all its options:
Koenig twin stick PTO
Ramsey front winch
K+K side mount sicle bar
Three point hitch with Newgen Buzz Saw
extremely rare Canfield fold out wrecker assembly
Westinghouse PT1 compressor under the hood
Dual wheel adapters front and rear
Ge welder which came from a parts jeep that had paperwork showing the factory option welder cost more than the actual cost of jeep itself back in 1946.
Every thing works as it should with the exception of the welder ,which actually has been tested out and works great but is not hooked up because with all the work done to this jeep in the restoration Jim could not bring himself to cut out the tool box section to install welder.
Canfield wrecker has been converted to armstrong type ,to make room on mid PTO pulley for KandK bar.
About all we figure the Willys needs now to complete the swiss army effect is a Mahl front end loader if anyone has one for sale.
UPDAT: Was $10,000. **SOLD**
This was a navy Jeep. Plenty to read about this one.
“I’ve had this great running little jeep for several years. I’m thinking I may want to pursue a different hobby so it may be time for my Jeep to move to a new home. I purchased this from a friend of mine (WWII aircraft mechanic) that used it at Centennial Airport to pull vintage airplanes around the hanger. The reported history is it was originally purchased by the US Navy in Hawaii and used as a shore patrol or similar right after the war. Although there were many Army jeeps in the area, the Navy purchased a few right after the war directly from local dealers (sounds like a mini-stimulus program). I verified this info from a WWII Jeep forum on the web called G503.com.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer
“I have a 1947 Willy’s Flat Fender CJ-2 (Fully Restored). Chevy V8 350. 4WD with Centerline Rims and Bridgestone tires. Radio/CB. Please make offer.”

“Beautiful candy apple red Jeep Willys cj2a. It’s mostly stock with matching vin’s except wheels and tires. Good 31X10.50 radial Baja wide track tires on all black rims.

Not a lot of value here.

“This is a 1949 Willys CJ2a with original running gear L134 4cyl t-90 Trans converted to 12v. Has a 1943 mb front end and m38 top. Dressed as a 1943 Willys MB. WWII. Has replica M1919a4 Gun. This is not a full restoration. Great for parades. The previous owner repaired the rust/ replaced the floor.
It really needs the correct seats and military tires to finish the look. I love this old Jeep but it needs a new home.
Also comes with a nice MB fold down windshield. Extra, low hour l134 industrial motor and 90% complete 1943 willys MB with title (body is rusted out) has the l134 still in it and t-84 trans all axles and drivelines”

(02/14/2013) I am less optimistic than the seller about the value of the parts.
