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 .
Might make a good restoration project?

No pics provided. Listed as a “1946 Willy (C2B)”
“Power train all original. Rust on frame. Rust on frame. Don’t have time to restore. Price is firm. Not looking for trades.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $18,000.
(04/15/2016) Looks like a clean rebuild.
“1946 Willys CJ-2A fully restored. This is a non-military model. Complete ground up/frame off restoration on this vehicle. The only thing that was not fully rebuilt was the engine (it had plenty of compression and was super clean). Differentials, transmission, and transfer case have all new gears, bearings, and seals. New master brake cylinder along with new brakes and brake cylinders at all four wheels. New clutch, pressure plate, and release bearing. Synthetic lube in all gear boxes and silicone brake fluid. Tires are new non directional tires and it has always been garaged since it was completed. Over $15,000 worth of parts were used (not including labor and materials such as welding rods, hardware, etc). System was converted from 6V to 12V and turn signals were added. The rest of the vehicle is original.Two and a half years were spent putting this all together and it looks factory new. Great to take to shows. Gets a lot of attention.
Complete proceeds from the sale of this Willys will be going to our church. Asking $20,000, which is a more than fair price given all that was done to this vehicle.”

This ad was featured in the Spokane Daily chronicle, August 14, 1946.
I’m sorry to report that Bruce Agan passed away after a short fight with cancer yesterday in Iowa.
We first exchanged emails in 2009. He generously shared a large amount of DJ-related info for eWillys readers. Over the ensuing years he became a go-to-guy for anything DJ-3A, Gala, or Surrey related. In 2012, he started the site http://www.jeepsurreygala.com, which contains a large amount of DJ info. I had hoped to stop by and visit with him during one of our trips, but I hadn’t got the chance.
So, we bid a farewell to our good friend. Perhaps he’s already busy discussing the finer points of the Surrey with Elvis. Here’s the surrey that Bruce restored, one of several jeeps he owned.
Deserves more pics. Has a number of mods.
“Willys CJ2A Custom- Complete Rebuild P.S. 6pt roll cage Rock crawler great on the road.Much more call for all details.Complete conversion to Propane available.”
http://albany.craigslist.org/cto/5630659044.html
Hopefully someone can save this late model 3B.
“Up for sale we have a 1963 Willys CJ-3. This vehicle is in need of a total restoration but will make a great project or parts car. The jeep has not run in years but was running well when last parked. Please feel free to call or text with any questions. More pictures available upon request.”

UPDATE: Price dropped to $5500. Looks like a great price.
The seller indicates this has a government plate, so it may well be a military vehicle.
“1974 Army Jeep that is rare and the last of the Jeeps made for the military. Jeep has been lightly used with a new clutch, brakes, muffler, fuel tank , and canvas top. Lock out hubs for front wheel drive. Original Army brass nomenclature plate.
Includes a snow plow for my driveway and my neighbor’s driveways with a manual angle blade. Will plow any storm and traverse the deepest of beach sand. Includes six buckets of sand for rear wheel traction.
I have loved this Jeep for seventeen years,
but regret time is catching up.
Pictures available.
Own a piece of history.’

“1948 Jeep Willys original motor and tranny, runs and drives. New Tires, I have a clean title as well.
Looking to sell or trade for boat with title.”
I don’t see anything to indicate this is a 1945 2A. More likely a 1946 given the triple dash plates.
“For Sale 1945 Willys Jeep, all original, runs and drives great. New paint, new interior very low miles since restored years ago. Reason for selling it does not get driven enough to keep, my loss your gain. This is the first year of Civilian Jeeps you won’t Find another one like it asking $14,000. OBO thanks for looking.”

Appears to have potential.
“I have a 48 willys jeep original flat top 4 cylinder 4 speed its a project for sure needs a starter and a tune up and will run I’m sure can turn the motor over with a socket and ratchet.

Not the best pics.

http://huntsville.craigslist.org/cto/5629764096.html
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $750.
Looks like a Sears standard half-top to me.
“Willy’s Jeep parts miscellaneous items 1951 -1953 years”
Not sure how much value is here. The body, which needs work, is sitting on a Toyota chassis.
“This 52 Willys is sitting on a modern Toyota truck chassis giving it power steering and disc brakes as well as a tilt steering wheel that comes with it. It has been chopped 5″. This is a very solid roller that is going to make somebody a badass hot rod. Again, it is a roller (no motor/transmission). I can deliver it if necessary for a handle (thats the big bottle) of Jack Daniels or a Gallon of moonshine. rat rod, project, jeep, vintage”
http://desmoines.craigslist.org/cto/5625000141.html
There’s still some work left on this project.
“I’m posting this for a friend of mine. If you want to talk to him about this call the number listed.
134 ci Hurricane engine. New brakes from backing plate to tires. New wheel bearings & seal’s all the way around. New front hubs, new master cylinder with brake light switch. All rubber brake lines and stainless steel line’s replaced.
To complete this project all you need it time and labor. Everything that I needed to buy for it has been bought. You’ll need to adjust the master cylinder & bleed the brakes. Gas tank been repaired, New floor pan that goes under the fuel tank is included. Complete new fuel line, new fuel pump and a carb rebuild kit are also included. I have a fuel cell and electric pump for it. Radiator has been repaired, new bottom hose & fan belt. I’ve reupholstered the seats. Like I said before, everything you need to put this Jeep back on the road comes with it. I’m also throwing in a Tote bar. There are some other parts that will also go with it.
Before I tore into this project I drove it and motor and tranny was in pretty good shape. I bought it to restore, but have decided I’m too old start another project. $2,500 will buy you a lot of fun. ”
