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 sure looks like a great price. This has likely sold.
It’s got a military grille, but the windshield appears to be a Willys.
“Runs and drives, perfect to use for hunting/trails or restore it!”

I don’t think this is running.

“My jeep has been completly restored from the ground up, the frame was sand blasted and coated. The body is under coated. All the running gear has been rebuilt, the motor was rebuilt completly, it is the original motor that came in the jeep when bought new,I am the second owner. I have installed newer seats front and back, new floor mats,I built a compartment between the seats with a locking top, it has 5 – 15″ wheels with open country tires, there is a swing away stair tire rack on the back. I installed a new top, it has a built in radio and cassette player with 4 speakers. It has been driven around town and in parades.”
The serial number of 154827 suggests this is actually a 1948 not a 1949. There’s been a great deal of work and money spent on this judging from the chrome and clean lines.
” Has a Pennsylvania clear title, not a reconstructed. Vehicle is exceptionally clean, starting with the body: new all steel replica tub, front fenders, hood, grill assembly and 2-piece windshield from original vehicle. Has premium tailgate with Willy’s logo and shell has a glove box. There is no body filler on this vehicle. Paint is acrylic enamel with hardener and gloss additive, wet sanded and buffed. The color is General Motors Fleet White. Paint brand was DelStar…. Any further questions you can contact me, Mario, on my cell phone at: 412.292.6152 or email to: MarWilys@nauticom.net.”
I believe this has a MB Grille and windshield, but the other parts appear to be CJ-2A.
“I have a ’46 Jeep Willys MB. Everything is stock. Its been my project for quite some time. Its 4×4, flathead 4 cylinder manual 3 speed. I have done a lot of engine work. Replaced the spark plugs, spark plug wires, starter, alternator, regulator, front brakes, water pump, hoses, belts, etc.. It still needs work but the engine turns over and runs. It has a non op and i have the pink in hand. The body is straight but it needs a little bondo and paint. This is a true classic off road vehicle. I’m looking to see what else is out there for trades. I’d be interested in an older stepside or other 4×4. either project or running. If interested contact jamesw.bridges@yahoo.com”

The owner is selling it to buy an engagement ring.
“I have a 1946 Willys overland mb jeep. This is the military wrangler. This particular one is the first year of production of these vehicles for the publice while still implementing parts used on the military model. It is appx. 90% original with the updated 12 volt system. Tires that are less than 3 months old. There is no rust any where, and everything works. It is a perfect vehicle for driving on nice summer days, or if you have a place you can take it through the woods, you will never get stuck. It has the famous 4 cyl original Flathead motor that runs great. The suspensions and all other mechanical systems are in great shape. The 4 wheel drive will never let you down. I am only selling it to pay for an engagement ring and hopefully a wedding if everything goes to plan. I am looking to get 4300 out of it. I have spent so much time and money, but now I really need to sell. Email the post if you are interested. Or call 586 850 0853 This is a link to a youtube video I have made going around the jeep and the attached pictures should show anything you would want to see. If you come out you will not be disappointed.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4700
I’m not sure what the model is.
“
We aren’t too sure of what exact year it is but we did find out that it could be in between the years of 41-51 body style. The engine we know was taken out of another jeep a little newer then the body. Its an F-head with the valve cover on top so it was taken out of a jeep from the years 53-63. We found that it’s very common for people to switch out the engines from that year because it’s better performance. The jeep has very little rust and all of it is surface rust that we can find. It doesn’t have a transmission unfortunately or i would be driving it. i have a magazine that sells parts for jeeps and we found a transmission for it and it would only cost about 1500 dollars which isn’t bad for this old of a jeep. I would fix it up myself but i don’t have money and i really need a vehicle. Right now it’s an open title.”
Here’s a VEC CJ-2A with a snow plow. The body doesn’t sound good. No pics just yet.
“Just a feeler – I have an early 46 CJ2A with title. This is a column shift jeep that was a local find. It currently has a plow on the front, the frame is good on the jeep, needs new floor pans and windshield. It is a flat head 4 cylinder that I was told was used up until last year when the individual that owned it passed away. I have not tried to fire the engine up because there is no fuel tank and I wanted to change the oil first. Engine is complete all the way to the air filter and I have no reason to believe it won’t start right up. They were using a marine gas can in the back of the jeep to run it when they drove it but I left that there when I picked it up. Definately a diamond in the rough but the jeep sits up nice – tires are dry rotted but hold air. Pictures available upon request and if I have time later this evening I will post a few. I was keeping this one to fix up but have found a different project for $800 that I would like to buy instead. dangaruss@comcast.net.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $14,500
“Newly restored ”cloned Willys MB. This is a 1945 CJ2A modified to look like a 1944 MB. It is 99% done. It needs a little touch-up on the paint and a rear seat. I spent Thousands of dollars on new parts. I have all records of purchased items. I put one size larger tires on it to increase fuel mileage and travel speed. It runs and drives like new. The engine is smoke free and I changed the voltage to a 12-volt system for better lighting and dependability. I also added turn signals and a second rear brake light for safety. I also added new style seat belts to make it a safer vehicle. The entire Willys has been sandblasted primed and painted with late WW11 319 OD. I spent many hours disguising the CJ2A look. I would like to keep all the bags and supply’s that are all over it. The Shovel, Axe, Jerry can, rope and spare tire will stay with it.I still need to install the battery hold down. The top and seats are brand new, they are thicker than originals to make the ride a bit smoother. I also have a new glove box to install to make the dash look like the MB. The drive train is the way I bought it, so I don’t know how many miles are on them, but it goes down the road smooth.( I love it). The only reason for selling it is, I recently found a real 1942 GPW that needs restoring. I put about 1500 miles on it these past few months with no problems. The odometer reads about 7,000 miles. This is a nice vehicle that will last a long time with some care. Please call with any questions or if you want more pictures …. I also have some CJ3A parts for sale: Fisher plow set-up, complete windshield with new gaskets, new wiper motors, tool box cover, heater unit, new front seat frames, and complete drive line”
UPDATE: Still Available.
If the seller really has 3.56 gearing, I’d like to know more about the tranny. I also wonder if the OD trans is really a warn OD? Seems a bit redundant to have both 3.56 gearing and the OD. Toledo Or is west of Corvallis, Or, almost all the way to the coast. Given the location, I imagine the seller will have to drop the price.
“47 willys chevy 4 cyl,od trans. cd player, cb radio, tilt wheel,356 gears detroit locker front,shure locker rear,looks and drives good at all speeds,new water pump,new front brake calip. new master cyl. 541-336-1800”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1900.
This looks to me to be a CJ-2A. It runs, but doesn’t stop well. It’s got some rust issues.
“1944 Willy’s jeep – $1800. For sell 1944, not sure of the year, Willy’s jeep. No title available. It has a flat head strait 6 motor. No brakes, 4 wheel drive works and runs perfect. ”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5200.
This looks in good shape.
“1948 Willy’s Jeep, 4-cylinder, 3-speed, recently tuned-up, 32″ tires, chrome rims, full-cage rollbar, front and rear tow receivers, new 12-volt battery, electric wipers, front stabilizer shock, rhino-lined inside, WILL CONSIDER TRADE FOR TRUCK WITH PLOW.”
It appears to have an overdrive. If it does, then this appears to be a good price. I’m not sure where O.C. is?
“

This might not be a bad price.

If this is as good as advertised it might be a great deal. It looks original. A new paint job would do wonders (I wonder if the paint is hiding something?)
“For sale is a 1948 Kaiser Willys CJ-2A 1/4 ton Jeep. All original and complete. Runs excellent and everything works. Top and door in good condition- $2500”

One – Head gasket needs to be replaced. Two – plug behind engine….”
It might or might not start. It’s got a PTO.
