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: This sold quickly.
The front frame rails have been heavily reinforced. You gotta love that ‘hardtop’. Despite this, I think there’s some value
“Excellent running 4cyl converted to 12 volt 5ft plow, 4sp frame good would make nice plow truck also has 3 point hookup on rear, 16 inch tire with chains.”
Hard to say just how original this is from the one pic. However, the seats appear aftermarket and the grille may have been updated.

(05/04/2011) “1946 WILLYS Jeep CJ2-A. Built for the dirt, but street legal.
COMPLETELY rebuilt from the ground up. Only 9,567 miles since rebuilt:
Chevrolet V-8 engine with Edelbrock manifold, off-road modified Holly 4-barrel carburetor and Holly electric fuel pump. Advanced Adapters headers with Thrush Turbo mufflers. Custom-made extra heavy-duty 4-row radiator.
Modified 4-speed Saginaw 1/2-ton truck transmission with Hurst shifter, Advanced Adapters silent gear kit in transfer case and a Warn overdrive. New drive shafts front & rear. Heavy-duty clutch.
Spicer model 44 rear end with Detroit Tru-Trak limited-slip differential and full-floating axles (just add locking hubs for free-wheel towing). 4WPW 11” rear drum and front disk brakes with 3/4-ton GM truck master cylinder.

The bad: has been stored for about the last 6 years; needs new battery; carburetor needs rebuilding kit due to gummed up gasoline; it has a CASSETTE radio.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
This needs work. This sounds like a nice project with some value. Curiously, there are no holes for the gauges. So, I’m not sure whether this is an aftermarket body or the holes were cleanly patched. This has already been converted to hanging pedals, too. I think that motor might have been rebuilt, judging by the cleanliness of it.
“I have a unfinish jeep up for sale. It has a V6 with 4 speed trany,tranfer case,and axle dana 44 with disk in front, amc 20 posi. I have the pink slip and it nonop.”
UPDATE: ***sold****
Needs work. It has a fiberglass body.
“FOR SALE

This one is priceless. Based on the back, I’d say this was a CJ of some vintage and not a M-38.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2000.
This has been parked for 18 Years. Possibly a VEC Body.
“Was parked about 18 years ago due to: Leaking rear main seal, poor/no brakes, and finally a broken ignition wire. Has been waiting patiently for resto since. Early and rare tub with leftover war stampings with axe and shovel relief. Willys stamped hood, correct and original windshield frame, and tailgate. 12V. It wants a complete resto but could be going down the road without a huge effort. Rusted and patched up many time in the past 65 years… It will need trailerd home.
$2000 or similar trade for: Honda/Yamaha Utility 4 wheeler or Toyota 4×4 that is not beat and rusted away.”
The body is rough. The seller is a bit off on his windshield analysis.
“I have a 1948 Willys jeep for sale. This is the model with the P.T.O.. Mechanically its very good, body wise its rough. The motor, transmission, transfer case, front and rear ends have all been rebuilt and only used for snow plowing since. I have the orignal 1948 plow too. The windshield is from a 1950. This was a upgrade at the time as the 48 had a split windshield. I also have the frame for the orignal half top (comes down behind the seat so you can still use the box). There’s a box of extra parts that will go with it too. $1300. firm”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800
(04/05/2011) Here’s a CJ with a variety of upgrades.
“3.8 Buick V6, 33 X 12.5 X 15 Tires, 5.36 Gears, Muncy 4 speed transmission, 16 Gallon fuel cell, Warn full floating axel kit, Lockright in rear, Front disc brakes, Pro Racing seats with 5 point harness capabilities, NEW 8000 pound winch, Full top (black)& bikini top (tan), Set of 16.50 rear Paddle tires included (only used three times), NO RUST, Near perfect body with one small dent (jeep vs tree…tree almost won). Same owner for 20 years. Always garaged. Dad sold his jeep, so nobody to play with & family has far outgrown this toy with 5 kids, so we haven’t taken it out playing in two years (just out of the garage for a stroll around the park from time to time)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
(02/24/2012) This has a strange body.
“Running, drivable willys jeep. No title. Originally bought it in southern MO for 800$. New tires, dist cap, wires, coil, and alt. It came comverted to 12v. Original flat head 4 cyl and drivetrain. D18 transfer case T90 trans. D27 front axle and D35 rear (I think). My dog tore the ugly van seats it came with but you should be able to mount any seat from anything. No winshield glass or gas tank (I was using a coffee can). Radiator needs repaired, a seam poped on the top so it will hold water until it gets too hot then it will boil out, but it gives a good 20 minute run before that happens. Needs wired, I have an electric ignition for it that is a direct replacement for the points/condincer plate. This jeep is so much fun to drive. All gears engage and disengage, the 3 speed trans and four hi/low/2 wheel high/low along with the lockout hubs, has good off road tires which hold air all winter and we can drive it right up on to your trailer. Can be hauled for a fee. Ill post my phone number tomorrow buy ill answer guestions through email.”
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1500.
(02/20/2012) Needs lots of work.

The windshield suggests this might be a VEC. Looks like there is plenty of value. Note that the pics are two years old.

It doesn’t run. The seller lists this as a CJ-3A, but the windshield suggests CJ-2A.
“$1500 parts only. not running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500
It runs and drives. Looks like some damage on the passenger side.

“I have a 1946cj2a Willys jeep. It is licensed and insured/tagged. I use it in parades and on the farm to move my log splitter. It is not a show car/ I use it and drive it regularly. It is all orginal. I have upgraded to 12 volt and put a electronic distributer (no Points) other than that it is stock. It has a brand new complete rebuilt 12 volt starter. Like new tires. All lights work, all gauges work, no wipers (easy fix) just have not had time. I also have a original hard top that needs to be reworked, it has the doors also. A fresh reworked radiator. Runs good 50 miles per hour uphill down hill or flat land. E-brake works parking and brake lights work.The only thing wrong with this Willys is a leak in one seal on the transmission, I have to add transmission fluid twice a year. If you are interested let me know , might even trade for something? I have owned this jeep around 5 yrs and have a updated title off of the orginal. This jeep is all legal with insurance 10.00 a month with full coverage. E-mail or call 870-213-5332 if no answer leave message and a return phone number, I will call back same day.. I have lots more pics if you wish I can email them to anyone who wants to look. Thanks for looking.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Price was $450.
(04/07/2012) There is some value here.
“willys parts vehicle: rolling chasis. no motor or trans.”
Mark just posted this over at sellajeep.com. It’s listed as a 1951 CJ-2A, so either the year or model is wrong.
“This Jeep was used to pick up parts for a local garage. It has its last inspection sticker on the windshield. There are 45,300 original miles on the engine. It was restored by a certified auto mechanic. It has a new tub, brake system, five new tires. Seats were redone by a local upholstery shop—and the heater works!
Price: $6,500”
