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: The seller has confirmed the wrecker does have “J E E P” stamped across the front.
Andy shared this FC Wrecker and jeep. It also includes other toys. I would have bought the two jeeps, but don’t want the rest of the toys.

“Assortment of Auburn Rubber Military toys in great condition. The two large toys in the back are Auburn SaftyPlay Jeep and Wrecker.”
Andy shared this custom rig. Listed as a 1953 CJ-3A, it appears the body was formerly a DJ-3A (mostly likely a 1956 based on the 0-8 speedometer). It also has a DJ-3A convertible windshield.

“1953 CJ3A Truck, lots of new parts, recent build, Drivetrain is Buick 225 v6 Dauntless Oddfire out of a 1960’s CJ5. Starts, runs, and drives good, will go 65, 4×4 high low with locking hubs, rear PTO winch, very cool head turner. NY transferable registration, looking for offers cash or check. Not really looking for trades except Ford Broncos or sick rat rods, diesel trucks. $15,000 or best offer, I’ll drive it to your house”
Andy spotted this modified and stretched CJ-2A. It does not look to me to be a 2L.

“Have a 46 Jeep Willy’s truck clean green title know nothing about it comes with plow and pump and brakets for plow it’s got a twin stick pto 4speed transmission with flat head in it I’m selling it all for what the transmission is worth 1000 come get it out of my driveway all tires hold are and rolls good”
This does not have a title, but seller has a 1942 title.

“Slatgrille Willys jeep, of the roughly 650,000 jeeps made in WWII only the first 26,000 were “slatgrilles” this jeep is rough with a ton of bondo and fiberglass slathered everywhere but the tub is still restorable, I have repaired much worse. It has the original axles, t84 trans and transfer case. From the front crossmember to the rear the frame is very solid but the original front frame horns have been heavily modified and need replacements. The motor is not original and total junk. It comes with a bill of sale. I do have a 1942 title i will throw in. I may trade for a less rare but better condition military or Cj2a project, an M151 project would definitely get my attention. 570 two38 1591.”
Andy shared this project that includes a new body kit, along with other new parts.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1835836466905603
“46 Willys project, complete new body with new Tub, fenders, hood, window frame, tailgate, seat frames (fronts and rear), orig front grille, new leaf springs with new U hangar bolts, front and rear axles, several new brake parts, 46 frame that was sandblasted and powder coated. I’ll post more pics when I dig everything out today.”
I didn’t notice until I was ready to post this that some of the paint is peeling on the hood and cowl. Otherwise, it looks in good shape.

“1948 Jeep Willys , pickup, 4 wheel drive All original, new split bench seats, new headliner This truck just arrived from Montana zero rust, dry as can be Fitted with alternator and new electronic ignition otherwise completely stock ”
Appears in good shape.

“Military mechanical mule m274A5 Running and driving. Great machine.. push button start. 4wd,front and rear lights Very useful and reliable delivery available for a fee. i also have a military trailer it fits in perfect”
Runs and drives.

“1961 cj5. Has the inline four f-head engine with the three speed trans. Mechanically in great shape. Body needs rust repair but is still an original steel tub. I’ve installed tons of new parts to make it road worthy. All new brakes, brake lines, springs, hangers, new fuel tank, new radiator, new seats. I also have a soft top and soft doors for it. Just serviced all fluids, engine runs like a top, all gears high and low range work fine.”
This appears to be solid, but the hood is tweaked and some gas may have stained the paint. No description provided.

Tom shared this one. It appears to be in excellent shape, but isn’t quite “100%” original. It also does not have a military tub as noted by the seller.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1228735358125666
“Willys Jeep. 100 percent original. Column shift. Full floating military rear end. Solid wheels. Military tub.”
Some more pics would be helpful.

“1949 Willy’s Jeepster flathead 6, runs smooth interior decent no rips, top also decent with a small tear.”
Glenn spotted this wagon, which appears to be at a reasonable price, though it’s unclear what work may be needed.

“Classic Antique Willy’s Wagon looking for a car enthusiast to restore. Some work was done including new brake lines. Great winter project.”
Once again, there are a variety of jeeps for sale that I don’t have time to list. I have not looked these over very carefully. In no particular order:
I suspect the cargo area bed has been patched or rebuilt. This has a Beck or Kelly hardtop.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2470064576520215
“1954 Jeep CJ-3b Runs excellent. 6 volt, 134 F-head. 3 speed manual. New battery, wheel bearings, master cylinder, and brakes. New carburetor, with old one included. Looks to be all original drivetrain. Frame good, body is ok, patches. Has transferable registration. Plow works, used last winter.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $13,000.
(06/02/2024) This looks in good shape.

UPDATE: Still Available.
(06/24/2024) Here’s a good example of a model 90 Empire Tractor.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1802997260190701
“Empire tractor built in Philadelphia PA using Jeep componthrents from radiator to rear end including the entire drivetrain. This unit has many original parts including hoses, hose clamps, wiring and wire clamps. Engine and drivetrain are all original. Tool box is a reproduction. The light switch has been changed and possibly the temperature gauge. It’s a three speed with a two speed transfer case. Road speed is 25mph plus. Reason for selling : I’m older than the tractor and loading/unloading at shows has become a chore.”
Not a whole lot of value here.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1524534158144898

(08/02/2024) Chris is selling this DJ-3A.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/880849104098047
“1957 Willys Jeep DJ. No title. Engine included with T96 transmission. Rare column shift. Body is rough in places. Frame decent shape. This unique rig is restorable and would make a great project. Harrison heater, original crank handle and all four original four lug wheels. All wheels roll easily for loading. Engine condition unknown. Two hard doors included. Will not respond to Is this still available. Please no trades and I’m not parting out.”
Here’s another of the midwestern or eastern-made fiberglass flat fenders with the wide lip in the back. Listed as a 1953 CJ-3A, the chassis is actually a CJ-5 frame, so not sure where the “1953” comes from.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/491537236938944
“1953 Willys fiberglass body sitting on newer Cj5 frame, disc brakes,power steering, $1800 obo I will not respond to Is it still available”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
Unclear how much value is here.
“Its not a $1 its make an offer. I started at 2K so be realistic. I was planning on making a gpw looking jeep tub on a modern frame. Orange tub is fiberglass and it’s gonna take some time to bond the sides back to the floor, but its fiberglass, hood and fenders are fiberglass too. The metal tub is a 46 has the side cut outs for shovel and ax its rusty and crusty. The clutch pedals and master cylinder and a few other thing are need to xfer over to the glass body. What you see is what you get, I can load it onto your trailer etc. This is all the jeep parts I am selling, if its listed then its still for sale. I am in Fredericksburg Va. 22405”
Here’s another interesting 4-page brochure (my guess would be circa 1958) made for the South African market that I picked up on eBay.
This four page issue notes on page two that June 1956 was “Dent’s out of Fenders” month or, I did you not, “DOOF”!?! I don’t know what to do with that info.
Page three references what may be causing a few DJ-3A noises. One note refers to the “clutch driven disc hub”, which can cause a vibration issues between 33 and 45mph, but I’m not familiar with that part. There are a couple other solutions for particular noises listed.
This newly released Meyers Manx dune buggy is powered by a radial three-cylinder engine with LS DNA. The engine alone sells for $25,000, according to the article.
This could be worth a look.

“1963 Willys CJ3B 4WD Vey nice shape Rebuilt : Steering ( Ford steering box ) Brakes (11″ brakes) Engine Transmission T-case Overdrive Unit Seats Windshield Front and rear axle bearings ansd seals $13,500.00 OBO”
This appears in good shape.
