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 .
The license plates are an unusual touch.

“I have a 1948 Willy’s CJ2A for sale. It’s all original except for the new fuel tank. Has the Willy’s Go Devil engine and 3 speed tranny with hi/low. Also has transfer case for 2 or 4 wheel. Jeep runs and drives great, just had all fluids changed. Body is a little rough, but salvageable with some metal work. Its a fun toy to have and hard to find one that runs and drives. Tires are almost new, Windshield is broke. Calling is the best, but I do text. Don’t have a title for it but I do have all the documentation to get one. Working on getting one myself, but haven’t had the time yet.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3200.
“S/N 62215. 36,412 miles. Owned since 2005. Windshield is the split type common to the CJ2A. I relocated the spare tire mount to the side, also common to the CJ2A so the tailgate would be more functional. Started the restoration 3 years ago. Stripped it down to the frame, sandblasted, primed and painted it the original olive drab. Everything relative to the brake system is new. Everything relative to both axles was removed, restored or replaced with new parts. New shocks. When I took it off, if it needed replaced I ordered it then, so I have most everything already bought. This is not a rust bucket like most you see! A little rust in the bed and the drivers floorboard is all there is and the metal is solid underneath. Upholstery is in very good shape. I have a summer top not shown. The paint is actually very good. You can see in the pictures that I polished the hood and the color came out. Further painting would be optional. The engine has been disassembled and the head and block tested. Found 4 broke rings. Everything relative to the engine is perfect, even the bearings. Standard rings will go back. Tranny/transfer case have no issues either. I have taken it as far as I can. I need the space in my garage so it has to go. This is a solid Willys and will make someone a fine jeep.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Looks like there’s value here.

“1945 Willys MB Jeep, Military Restoration Project
Well folks….there’s no sugar coating this one….its a late model 1945 Willys MB! This Jeep was produced just a few weeks prior to the end of the war contract of the Willys MB military Jeep in 1945 (Data tag dated 8/8/45). The last military MB rolled off the assembly line in early September of ’45. (I also have the original data plate and the i.d. tag is still in place on the left front frame horn).
The floors will need to be replaced as they are rusted through in several areas. I do have the original grill and hood (in excellent primered condition, the right (NOS)and left front fenders, and numerous other parts that are not pictured.
I have the heavier replacement front bumper along with the rear cross member if needed. The numbers matching engine ran when this first came home (this has been sitting in my garage for the past 7 years), however, it has a very slight crack in the water-jacket from someone who did not properly winterize it.
Not sure how much value is here.

“1951 Willys CJ3A
Buick 231 or 3.8 v6 HEI, Manual transmission, Hurst shifter (I believe its a t10), front locking hubs, old dry rotted 31×10.5r15 on very cool vintage wheels. It has a clean California title in my name with a hull number. Currently non op and current on all fees. This is a sweet little old flat fender built by an older gentleman in Sacramento as a offroad/ hunting rig. It has a home built roll cage, seats out of a late model car, and a questionable fuel cell. I have a new carb, battery, and new ignition switch for it (not installed). It runs and drives but no you aren’t going to drive it to the rubicon trail without bleeding the brakes and the fuel cell cleaned out or replaced and probably some new tires. Its a very fun little yellow jeep and it will turn heads whatever you decide to do with it. It even has a hitch on the back if you want to drag a small boat or trailer around town. The paint is old and worn and has dent in passanger rear quarter panel and scratches an scars from its offroad history but nothing that isn’t easily fixable or detracts from the overall patina.
$3500 and no I wont trade for dope… some people’s kids”
John shared his neat DJ-5. If you live on Long Island, keep a watch for him during the summer.
He wrote, It was turned into a ‘Woody’ about 35 years ago. This one is a 69 DJ5 A. I bought it about 1980/81 or so. It’s got the original 2.5 in it and I use it about 4 months every year…..June to September. I have not made any changes except for putting in a radio and a glove box and I recently had the Seats recovered. I never met the original owner (the guy who did all the nice woodwork, glass etching and paint job) but recently ran into someone who recognized the Jeep and told me about the very creative guy to built it back in the 70s. About twenty years ago I had to take the motor out and and replace the main bearings. Last year I had to find an exhaust manifold which was not easy. Otherwise, it gives me good reliable service every year. It’s really been a fun vehicle. Every where I go people want to buy it and on the hiway I am always being photographed while driving.
Glenn spotted this one.
