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 jeep has been well-cared for, and is in fantastic shape for a Willys that hasn’t been fully restored. Ready for use on the trails, or as a daily driver around town. As with any vehicle this age, it does require tinkering. Title in hand. Please reply to this ad with any questions or for a showing..”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $50.
“My friend pulled this seat out of the back his M38A1. I don’t know what it’s from. Do you think you and/or your readers can identify it or eliminate that it doesn’t belong in a CJ, wagon, or something similar?
It’s about 32″ wide. Seat back is about 25″ tall from top to the apex of the curve and seat is a depth of about 18″
The seat back has a full metal support under the Vinyl that does have strength grooves. Cushions are metal springs with horse hair or coconut fiber. I’m guessing the seat is from the 40-50’s but not sure.”
It’s a project, but does have the aftermarket dash, rarely installed in CJ-5s.

(05/03/2016) It’s a project.
“I purchased this 1962 Willys Jeep Wagon as a project from someone who couldn’t keep it back in the 90’s. My plan was to continue the work he started but too many other projects got in the way. It has been stored in my barn waiting for me to get going…and now…well???
4 cylinder engine was rebuilt.
It comes with stainless steel exhaust and pipe, replacement fender skirts for rear, new hinge for tailgate, original seats. Frame is in very good shape, body needs a little work.”
UPDATE: Still Available.”Everything’s original” … well not much at all.

“1948 Willys Jeep CJ2 mild custom. 350 with a mild cam, Rochester 4-barrel carb, Muncie 4-speed manual transmission with Dualmatic overdrive, Dana 30 front axle with manual lockout hubs and a Dana 44 axle out back. Low mileage restoration, very clean inside, outside, top and bottom all metal fab done by previous owner and great attention to detail on every part! No rust at all, all steel body, two tops included (full top with doors and bikini), all canvas in great shape, interior in great shape as well. Tires, brakes and mechanicals in good working order, can drive anywhere at highway speeds! Also includes matching steel hood with fiberglass hood scoop and black high-back bucket racing seats. Small items that need attention: no fuel sending unit in fuel tank, so gas gauge does not work, 4WD works, but have not tested low range, no turn signals due to age, wiper motor is not hooked up. Price reflects the condition of vehicle. Don’t miss out on this solid, unique and fun ride!!!

Has some upgrades. Note the government plate. Maybe old border patrol vehicle?
Very rare 1964 Jeep Willys wagon, the original SUV! The last year these were made. This one has the rare ambulance/barn style back doors instead of a tailgate. I bought it in 1998 and it had already been converted to a 350 Chevy V8 engine, it was my daily driver for years. It runs great. Of course it rattles and squeaks like any old vintage vehicle. I have all receipts and original vehicle service manual. License and registration are current.
Here’s a list of other upgrades done since I bought it.
Muncie granny 4 speed transmission
Dana 44
205 transfer case
MD44 3.54 R/P
Wagoneer type brake upgrade
rear hubs
Heavy duty custom radiator
Recent work:
wheel cylinders
valve cover gaskets
battery
tires
brake shoes
brake lines
Has some rust here and there, but all in all a great old 4 wheel drive vehicle that can get you practically anywhere and is super fun to drive!”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Only the one pic provided.
“1947 Jeep CJ2A, 66k original miles with only three owners and 100% complete.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
Has some tool indents. No description provided.
Needs some work. but appears worth a look.
“I am selling a 1946 jeep willys. It is a little rough but is a perfect start for someone who wants to fix something like this up. It has a Buick V6 engine in it that runs great but could use a little valve adjusting due to some smoke. Has a working heater since it did have a hard top on it at once. This Willys runs and drives. Has Saginaw steering box with chevy steering column. Could use some new tires soon as the ones on it were off a vehicle with bad alignment so wear is not so good. The do hold air and are drive able though. Has a dana 30 in the rear with the stock axle up front. Believe it has the stock gearing. 4×4 works and has Warn hubs up front. Has a aftermarket fuel cell that im guessing holds over 15 gallons mounted behind seats. Needs a little tlc and some normal maintenance but other than that its good to go. ”

UPDATE; **SOLD** Was $3500.
Looks like a good project.
“Sweet 1959 Willys wagon for sale! I bought this in 2000 in Gillette, WY. and drove it part time for a year or two while I was in college. I had big plans to restore it, but you know how that goes.
I was told when I bought it that the motor had been rebuilt. It has a Willys Superhurricane in line 6 cyl motor that always ran well for me. It’s a 3 speed and has 4-wheel drive, which worked last time I used it. I haven’t driven it for 7-8 years or so and its been stored indoors for the last 10 years. The body is in pretty good shape. It has some rust, mostly surface. It is rusted through above the rear wheel wells but seem like this wouldn’t be to hard to repair for someone who know what they are doing.
I have a brand new wiring harness that I never got around to putting in and I have the original manuals. The seats have been re-upholstered and are in great shape. Custom Willys Overland brake and clutch pedals and shifter knob. The headliner is all but gone and would need replacing. The wood slats in the back are also in good shape.
I love this thing which is why I haven’t parted with it yet. But, its probably time. I now live out of state and will never get around to it. It’s a rare find and would make a great restoration project. I’m asking $3500 or make me an offer.”
Seems a good price.
“For sale- Vintage 1946 Sears and Roebuck 233-46 utility trailer. I believe these were made by the Ben Hur company and sold thru Sears under the David Bradley name. These trailers were designed for, but not limited to, use with Civilian Jeeps. (CJ2 CJ3 CJ3A) Amazingly, this one still has it’s original hitch and data tag, but no fenders. ”
http://albany.craigslist.org/grd/5597789195.html
UPDATE **SOLD** Was $1200.
Has drivetrain updates like a 327 with a turbo 350 in it.
“1942 Willys Jeep Small Block Chevrolet , power steering has not run in years. Engine turns over by hand. Project I never got to and needs to go. Title in Hand. No Trades Reasonable Cash Offers only. ”
I took last night off, so just a couple updates today. More on Sunday. Next weekend (June 5/6) I may be taking several days off, as my oldest son wants to take me canyoneering in Moab (rappelling down an arch is how he described it). Should be fun!
