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: **SOLD** Was $4500
(09/13/2015) It’s got a variety of updates. Needs a little work
“1942 flat fender on cj5 chassis. Corvette 327 with TH350 trans. Edelbrock performer intake with Edelbrock 750 carb. Runs great. Plenty of chrome. Newly installed B and M shift kit with quicksilver shifter. Needs seat belts, shifter cable, and a little time. Cool jeep. Serious inquiries only. Trade for boat? Commuter car?”
UPDATE: Was Make Offer, now $4500.
This looks like it has a jeep chassis. Anyone check this one out?
“runs and drives. needs brake work. taking offers since I have no idea what it’s worth.”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500
Looks like it might have a fire jeep front bumper (looks like it curves and is extra long).
“1947 Willys CJ2A Jeep 4X4, runs and starts great, new brakes, new seat covers (not shown in photos) tires fair to good, they will last another 10,000 miles easily. Has a Buick V6 engine so it has lots of balls, some light surface rust, NO CANCER!!! It needs some prettying up but goes, stops, does great off road. CASH ONLY and NO, I will not accept a B.S. cashiers check from China or Indonesia or wherever and then have your driver pick it up! Sorry, I was not born yesterday”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(08/22/2015) It’s an MB with a 2A body.
“This Willys is a true survivor. The id number is a MB number, but is considered a 1947 by the DMV. The tub is a MB. The jeep was modified for a film to look like a M38. The driver side has been smoothed over with bondo at some point, but the ribs for the tools can be seen on the inside.
The window is post war as well as the M38 grille. The jeep will need to be seen.
It needs tlc for sure but is a driver.
I have the window rubber, just no glass.
The engine is what I can best figure is a 1953 F-Head Hurricane engine. It has the generator, but is wound to a 12v system.
It has Model A tail lights.
The tires are new as of July 22nd. I also had Willys hand painted on the rear tailgate, as well as a personal tribute to a fallen family member, as well as a WWII Kilroy was here.
I am fixing it up as I keep driving it. If it doesn’t sell for my price, I will be fixing it up and keeping it. ”

It runs, but it may need a little work. Seller hasn’t driven it very far.

“This 1948 Willys was a fun summer project that I no longer have time for. It has the more powerful Willys Hurricane engine or F134.
When I purchased the Willys it was not running or driving, so I went through it. Fluids changed: brake lines flushed, gas tank was dumped and fresh gas put in, coolant, engine oil (2 engine oil changes actually), transfer oil, transmission oil, front differential, rear was only topped off.
Electrical was cleaned up, replaced a lot of wires including battery/starter wires (the old ones tried to catch fire!) head light switch installed. I did not get around to the turn signal switch. The speedometer and cable and cable housing were replaced as the ones on the cj were broken, but I kept the original speedometer since it had the mileage on it and I figured some one more competent than me might like to try and fix it.

John’s been going through old photos and digitizing them. Each of these includes a jeep somewhere in it. Neat photos. Thanks for sharing!
I found this story published in the Spokesman-Review December 1, 1945.
Seth checked out this 2A-sort-of-turned-into-a-3B. He understandably decided to pass on purchasing it, but thought these photos were worth sharing.

” have a great running 62 Willys Jeep wagon thats in nice shape. The original engine was completely rebuilt less than 3000 miles ago and it runs like a watch. The wagon was repainted a few years ago and is showing its age but still looks great. It drives nice down the road but the heater core is leaking now and the blinkers need work. It has a nice stereo new tires and wheels and a clear title. Theres very little rust and it wont take a lot to get this one cleaned back up. These are getting hard to find in this condition. ”

Has a rare hardtop. Typical rust such as floorboards and rockers. Would make a great farm truck or something to restore for parades.

(11/05/2015) Runs and drives.
“Selling my ’46 Willys CJ2A. Runs and drives, has no brakes….at all. Carb was just rebuilt with a master rebuild kit so not just the gaskets and float but the jets and nozzles too. Will need a new tub more than likely and about a foot or so worth of frame reinforcement on the right rear side. Not in a rush to sell but would rather have my girlfriend’s car in the garage over the winter and not dump every red cent of mine into this thing at the moment. Has original seat frames and is all numbers matching.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1500.
(11/07/2015) “Up for sale is a ’48 Jeep Willys. It’s in fair condition, could definitely use a little TLC. Originally bought as a resto project for myself but I no longer have the time Lethe funds. My loss is your gain.

“I have 3 mail jeeps for sale. Right-hand steering, not running, no paperwork, missing motor parts, rust. Sunday appointments/pick-up only. Woodcrest area. $400 for all 3. First caller wins the deal.”
Andrew spotted this blue CJ-3A in the Rain Forest area of the Milwaukee Public Museum and took most of these photos. The staff informed him that it was used by a museum research team in the 1980s. According to the museum’s webpage, the team collected specimens in Costa Rica during 1986. Since the CJ-3A’s license plates are Costa Rican, they may well have used the jeep in Costa Rica and brought it back with them.
This photo was taken by “Retinal Fetish” on Flickr.
Marty checked out this jeep yesterday. He was most curious about the hardtop and got a bunch of photos of it for us. He believes the hardtop was a custom creation, but well done. The curves and drain edge are a nice touch, too. As for the CJ-2A, there’s not much left. The seller believes there is plenty of value, but Marty smartly disagreed.
” I have a 1942 Willys Jeep civilian four-wheel-drive that is pretty rough looking on the outside but everything is there motor tranny running gear everything complete with a set of extra leaf springs all four an extra radiator add an extra gas tank all stock all original I’ve done some checking on the Jeep Willys and I know what it’s worth in the condition that exam no reasonable offer will be refused please come look I need to get them out of here”
