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 have some value.

The Desert Dogs look in good shape.

Has original Flathead motor.
Runs, tagged, insured, clean title.
Also have a set of original wheels.”
Winter is here (in Pasco … it won’t get above 27 degrees today). So, this photo from Eric Jarvis reminded me of warmer days. It was taken in Dannemora, New York.
It was taken in front of his shop in the first part of August. Not all are his jeeps , three are his brothers and two are his friends. From left to right, Steve Jarvis’ 1965 CJ-5, purchased from Don Prine; Eric Jarvis’ 1943 GPW, also purchased from Don Prine; Steve Jarvis’ 1972 CJ-5 Renegade w/ amc 304 v8 and his 2004 Rubicon; Eric Jarvis’ 1968 CJ-5 with buick v6 and 1946 VEC CJ-2A; Todd Perry’s 1951 CJ-3A; Eric Jarvis’ 1970 cj5 Auburn trencher; Eric Jarvis’ 1965 CJ-5; Bob Stiles’ 1961 CJ-5 w /t-98 transmission; and Eric jarvis’ 1967 cj5 w buick v6, his CJ-3A, and his 1964 CJ-5, the latter two both having Koenig PTO winches installed.
In 1980 the Fruitville Fire Department received a 1951 wagon modified into a “rescue jeep”. This article was published in the Sarasota Herald Tribune on Dec. 23, 1980.
UPDATE: Status Unknown. Was $6000.
Looks in good shape.
“This is a real NICE 1948 Willy Jeep, all rebuilt, runs & drivers excellent. Sell or Trade. (see pictures)”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
Nick’s selling this 3A with an original Blackhawk plow.
“For sale is a 1950 Willys CJ3A Jeep, I have a clear title in my name for this. It has an era-correct rare Blackhawk plow system. This was one of the better plow kits for the Jeep as it included a full undercarriage plow frame, which prevented the Jeep frame from getting bent. The frame is all solid without any rot. She starts right up and runs great, clean burning with no smoke. Tires are a little dry but I’ve driven it down the backroads without a problem. The body is pretty solid with some patch panels, and the rear floor is in unusually great shape. The only problems with the Jeep is the master cylinder has a leak which needs to be replaced for brakes ($50 online), and a 6” external oil line is leaking below the filter. I just haven’t had time to get to it. Clear glass windshield like new. Also this has a clean soft top to keep the weather off while plowing, and was used to plow a golf course in Michigan. Here’s a list of everything I’ve done to the Jeep:
-Planed head and gasket
-Complete carb rebuild
-Clutch, pressure plate, throwout bearing, pilot bushing
-Fuel pump/lines
-Brake line
-Spark plugs
-Wiring
-Ignition switch
-Refurbished starter
-Engine belts
-Radiator hose
With all the new parts it’s essentially a turn key running Jeep. The new clutch system shifts smooth, and does not pop out of 2nd gear; the tranny and transfercase is nice and quiet. All the fluids were clean when I changed them. This Jeep is ready for plowing this winter. Feel free to call/text me anytime. Would also trade for an M35A2 Deuce and a Half in good shape w/military tires & PTO winch, preferred non-whistler D turbo and rear canopy”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“here’s your chance to own a very rare willys fire truck and they don’t come up for sale often. This willys fire engine is in almost new condition with only 3300 miles on it. This truck was bought new and was the only fire engine the town had until it was replaced in 1972 then it sat in the fire hall un till march of 2015 when I bought it 🙂 Since I have brought it home I gave her a new 6 volt battery and a bit of a tune up. The water tank in the back leaked so I removed it and repaired it and in the process I damaged some of the pipe fittings to the pump so there is a few new 1″ fittings that don’t take away from its quality and curb appeal.
What also makes this fire truck stand out is it was not built in the USA it was built by the Sterling machine and manufacturing co. right here in Canada if your a Willys jeep kinda guy you may have heard of them they also made trailers and pto type accessories. Im happy to assist in shipping anyway I can.
This little unit runs drives shifts and stops if you have any questions I would rather answer them on the phone so feel free to call me any time between 7 am and 9 pm 7 days a week but please keep in mind the time change as im in Calgary Alberta Canada.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5800.
Has a rear PTO. No title.
“I have a 1948 jeep cj2a that runs and drives and stops and has a pretty good body. The original glass in the windshield and has an original complete rear PTO. I do not have a title for this jeep. It does have a factory heater under the dash on the drivers side. It has the original flat head engine and drive train. I put a 1968 master cylinder bracket and master on it for the duel bowl reliability. It still retains the original drum brakes on all four corners. I am asking 5800.00 The two whole jeep pictures are from a few years back before I started using it at my farm but you get the idea of the condition of the jeep.”
UPDATE: Was $10,000. **Status Unknown**

This December 1955 Willys News article described the purchase of forty CJ-5s by the Circus Ice Cream Company of Houston, Texas. Do those hub caps look unusual?
Seth told me about the Museum of the American G.I. The museum is located in College Station, Texas, and has multiple jeeps. Unfortunately, I could only find one jeep. We didn’t get a chance to reach College Station this spring, but I’m sure we will be back soon. My niece just won a Reigning scholarship at SMU. I guess she’s coming down to Texas to teach them how to ride a horse :-). Seriously, she’s one of the top riders in the country and a great person too match. Texas is lucky to get her!

PTO Winch”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was no price.
Seller has what appears to be a Jeep-a-trench PTO and gear. They are also selling a lift of some type.
“THIS IS A VERY RARE OPTION ON A 1954 WILLYS JEEP WE ARE RESTORING. IT IS A WAY TO GET THE FORWARD SPEED OF THE JEEP DOWN TO ABOUT 1 MILE PER HOUR.
STUDY THE PHOTO’S AND SEE THE FINE CONDITION THE PTO IS IN. THE BIG GEAR IS A REPLACEMENT EMERGENCY BRAKE DRUM SET UP SO IT CAN BE TURNED BY THE GEAR COMING OUT FROM THE PTO. THE BIG GEAR HAS A SMALL CRACK NEAR THE CENTER BUT IS NOT SERIOUS. IT IS VERY UNIQUE AND I THOUGHT I HAD SEEN EVERYTHING AVAILABLE FOR EARLY WILLYS JEEPS FROM THE 40’S.
THANKS FOR LOOKING AND YOU CAN WIN IT JUST TO HAVE ON YOUR SHOP WALL FOR SHOW AND TELL TO ALL YOUR WILLYS JEEP BUDDIES OR USE IT TO WIN THE SLOWEST VEHICLE AT YOUR HISTORICAL SOCIETY FESTIVAL RACE.
I JUST ADDED ANOTHER VIEW OF THE PTO DRIVER LISTED AND A FUTURE LISTING WE WILL DO FOR A WILLYS 3 POINT HITCH HYDRAULIC REAR L;IFT FOR EARLY JEEPS. VERY NICE.”
