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 .
This sell also has some other parts for sale.

“The body on this old jeep is rough. It has no motor. I took the top off the transmission and the gears appear to be all good. The front end and rear end are there and appear to be okay. We have no title, but would make a great rat rod . The front fenders and the grill are good”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6500.
(08/04/2021) Has updates and mods (and 4 seats?). Seller will not accept a bag of crack as payment.
“Bunch of new stuff. runs and drives when the radiator. has all 4 seats. Someone before me swapped in a ford straight 6. I don’t want to sell this but the wife wants a more “practical” jeep so no I will not take your horrible low ball offer and your bag of crack. Recently bought a hard top and diesel motor.”
Seller seems willing to consider offers.

This is likely a ’47 chassis with an M-38 body on it.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/oly/pts/d/olympia-willys-jeep/7411741083.html
“This is a titled 1947 Jeep. It has a M38 body and engine. This Jeep runs but currently has the fuel tank out since the tank it came with when I got it was for a CJ2A. I have a brand new M38 tank to install. I have also replaced three of the four brakes (cylinders and pads) and have the forth one plus master cylinder on hand. I just haven’t had time to install it. This sale will include both fuel tanks and the remaining brake parts and every thing you see in the photos and the spare M38 engine. This is a project jeep with straight body with no rust”
Unclear how much value is here, but has a pot.

Lots of custom work on this flattie.

This has a funky half-cab, but it runs.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/545217443489774
“Stock jeep with power angle plow. 4 cylinder, 3 speed. Brand new wrangler radial tires. 4 wheel drive. Converted to 12 volt electrical system. Brand new brakes, master cylinder, wheel cylinders and pads. Runs drives and stops. It’s an old jeep so it’s got some rust but nothing detrimental. All body mounts are good. Mileage is unknown but it still runs”
UPDATE: **SOLD** WAS $1000.
This old racer has a fiberglass front clip that looks in good shape. The cage looks worth a few hundred as well. There seems to be some “sweet temptation” here.
“195ish jeep cj2 or cj3 tub. Has No engine or transmission. Frame appears to have been cut on the front? Fiberglass hood and front fenders one piece. No title, appears to have been raced or play in the dunes. What you see in the pictures is all I know”
This may have been a nice looking rig back in its heyday.

“1954 willys frame and body. This Vehicle had a 327 Chevy motor swap. We took the motor out but the automatic transmission is still there. There are another set of tires with this”
This is a project with some mods. The seller mistakenly notes that only 6,011 CJ-2A jeeps were made in 1947. The number is actually 65,078.

(03/26/201) This has a rear PTO gear box. The drain holes appear filled.
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/katy-1947-willys-jeep/7405801274.html
“1947 Willys Jeep – w/ Working PTO- 4×4. Mileage 45,044 Runs good. Condition is “Used”. Local pickup only.”
Listed as a 1947 and a 1948, this appears to be a 1949 (or later) CJ-3A.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/sutter-creek-1947-willys-jeep-cj3a-10k/7406387984.html
“This Willys Jeep is stock and in good to excellent condition. Starts easy and runs great and has new tires. Asking $10,000 or Best Offer.
UPDATE: Price dropped to $4000.
(11/05/2021) Looks like a good price. Has a fiberglass body (possibly a Bobcat body). Sounds like it has a non-functional overdrive.
https://houston.craigslist.org/cto/d/katy-1946-willys-cj2a/7401729879.html
“Selling my project CJ2A. I just don’t have time to work on it.
Vehicle runs and drives, but I overjetted the carb when I brought it down from Colorado, so it’s very rich and hard to start.
Jeep features:
full fiberglass tub and hood
a buick oddfire v6 swap
transfer case overdrive (currently non-functional)
tilt steering
electric fuel pump
besttop soft tub and full soft doors (not pictured but included)”
It looks like there is a $1000 worth of value here. Note the hard-to-find Hudson steering setup.

“Here it is the opportunity of a lifetime. A 1946 jeep Willys that could become your dream come true. I purchased this vehicle and it was stored in the garage since the 1970s. The 70s is also when it was last driven. See the pictures that it is a work in progress and will become a labor of passion.  Unfortunately this beauty does not have a title and is to be sold as is. What a fantastic opportunity to bring this rich piece of history back to life.”
It hasn’t been run in about 15 years.

“This is a titled 1947 Jeep. $6,000 OBO. It has a M38 body and engine. This Jeep runs but currently has the fuel tank out since the tank it came with when I got it was for a CJ2A.

This sale will include both fuel tanks and the remaining brake parts and every thing you see in the photos and the spare M38 engine. This is a project jeep with straight body with no rust.”
Listed as a 1946, the grille suggests it is later than that. The hardtop looks to be for a CJ-5.
