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 has a new body kit, along with other new parts.
https://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/cto/d/moose-lake-1950-willys-jeep-cj-3a/7560411781.html
“1950 Willys Jeep CJ-3A. New steel body kit. Engine, transmission, transfer case, brakes, steering, front axle, steering sector rebuilt. New seats, gauges, fuel tank, radiator. Less than 50 miles on rebuild. MN title. Sold as is.”
This seems worth a look.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/5785224641557069/
“1953 Willy’s CJ3a this is a really solid Jeep it runs and drives minimal rust has a later Willy’s 134 f head engine in it and a Saginaw steering conversion clean title needs a front spring I can get one for it”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was one eBay.
Bill spotted this MB. It has some parts value at the very least.
“1945 WW2 Jeep. Manufactured by Willys is a barn find in Nebraska was used on a farm for fencing and other other farm activities. Does not run has a flat head motor and T 84 transmission. Has original fuel tank, but has a hole rusted in the side. Of tank will come with extra parts. It is a great candidate for a full restoration or use as a reenactment Jeep it has some rust look over the pictures.”
The serial number indicates this is a 1943 GPW.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1214176735865694
“I have for sale a Ford GPW 119649 that is a project. The engine is not original but a willys motor and is stuck. It has a t90 transmission in it. It has had some body work done on it and the fuel well has been covered. There are many parts that are carrying the F mark. I don’t believe the steering sector is original. What you see is what your getting. No title on this jeep. I have several pictures of this jeep available. This is not a rust bucket”
Some good bones for a Jeepster project, but does have some floor rust. Thanks to Bill for sharing. Price is negotiable.

“This solid 1950 Jeepster has been parked in an airline hanger since 1982 an owner parked and never used after that this is a basket case but very solid body for sure less the four floor pans. The engine is tight at this point and I’ve been told that everything needed to complete the restoration is in the vehicle less a few minor things that I have discovered. Same owner since 1959 I just lost interest in the vehicle, the photos tell a story for the most part and I as a collision professional I’m selling this for a good agent friend of mine who is unhealthy and doesn’t enjoy the selling process I looked closely at the jeep today and impressed with a solid body and it looks to be accident free, four-cylinder three speed and the keys are with the vehicle ”
This is missing the rear door and driver’s door.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3281528005508315
“Koenig iron works hard top for a flat fender. Missing rear door and driver door. In good shape no holes from rust. Still has original tag. Coming off a parts jeep. Make offer”
No pics provided.

“1947 Willys Jeep, ready for restoration. Was running when we started to get ready for painting several years ago. Boxes of new parts. Always indoor stored.”
Seller indicates this would fit a 2A, but it would do so poorly. The top is disassembled and a little rough, but the price seems good.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/442005044762914
“Jeep hard top which needs restored. Pretty solid and all the glass is in it. Have metal doors to go with it but need restored as well. The door glass is there. The top and doors were disassembled to restore but got a different top, so did not finish the restore. This is a FCFS and no holding. If it is listed then it is available and when it is sold it will be marked sold. I believe this top is for an older jeep CJ5 but will fit others. I have had it on my CJ5 but I am sure it will fit a CJ2a as well.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $400.
I’m not sure if the bend in the back is just a little flexing or whether it is more permanent than that.
“Cj 5 Jeep front clip great condition just needs washed”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $13,500.
(08/06/2022) This combo package includes a CJ-2A, boat and trailer. I have no idea what the value of the boat and trailer would be. It has a Porter & Reed hardtop.
“Here is the ultimate travelers package. Jeep, boat, and trailer. The Jeep is in good condition and is great for any outdoor enthusiast. The Jeep is a 1947 Willys Jeep CJ2A. The mileage is unknown. Facebook wanted a number so we we made something up. The boat is a 12’ 1962 Montgomery Wards Sea King Jon Boat. The motor is a 1942 Montgomery Wards 3.5 HP. The boat comes with the trailer. The package also includes a 11’ trailer for the Jeep. This is a great package for anyone that enjoys the outdoors and loves to fish.”
UPDATE: Here’s an additional photo. It was posted to the Toledo Region History and Memorabilia Facebook Page by Nelson Shaffer, who found the photo at the UAW Local 12 Office in Toledo.

Originally posted April 10, 2019: During WWII Brook Stevens developed a couple different Command Car concepts. All the pics of these can be seen at the Milwaukee Art Museum’s site.
1. The first one is a 6×6 vehicle. It was made into an actual vehicle. I don’t know what happened to it. I’m pretty sure I have a press photo fo this vehicle somewhere, but I can’t seem to find it. This very well could be on the same platform as other 6x6s of the era.
These two photos of the M-274 Mule were posted to the Toledo Region History and Memorabilia Facebook Page by Nelson Shaffer, who found the photo at the UAW Local 12 Office in Toledo. I’m not sure why this has a placard for the 1/4 and 1 ton trailers on it?
These two Toledo Blade articles, one from 1991 and the other from an unknown time, discuss Al-toys and their upcoming sales. If anyone has a truck, wagon, Jeepster, or fire jeep Al-Toy they are considering selling, let me know!
This article shows Jim Cook’s collection, which includes two different fire engine Al-Toys.
Mike shared this video from Mark Felton about the SAS.
Glenn shared this front frame and axle that includes some Perfect Circle Hubs. Perfect Circle was a longtime piston ring company bought by the Dana Corp in 1963. Dana had tried marketing the HubLok hubs, but likely switched to selling these private labeled Dualmatic/Selectro hubs after the merger.

“Front frame section from a 1956 Cj5 Willys Jeep. Section is in good shape and comes with steering linkage and good front springs and axles. Located in Harwich Mass”
Mike shared a photo of this shifter combo on Facebook he bought the other day. It’s a neatly done customization of the transfercase levers combined with an overdrive lever.
This seller has a variety of toys on Craigslist.

Sri spotted this great example of a Safari-Kai (a specially converted DJ-5).
https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/cto/7552120833.html
“Immaculate 1973 DJ5 Safari Kar conversion. Fully refurbished in 1991 and remained in storage for over 20 years. Always garaged, inline 6, under 3,000 miles on the odometer.
Can not drive around the block without being stoped by onlookers. Devastated to be selling, but moving back to the east coast and she’s a california girl.”
Bill shared this former racer that just sold on eBay for $4,049. and featured on Barnfinds.
“Vintage racing Jeeps aren’t around every corner, making this listing pretty unusual. Here on eBay is a 1976 Jeep J10 said to be a Baja racer, bid to $2,025 with no reserve. The vehicle is located in Caldwell, Idaho, and this tip came to us courtesy of T.J. The seller’s ad is unfortunately short of details, so we’ll have to fill in the blanks as best as we can. We do know the Jeep J10 started out under the Gladiator name, a vehicle that was produced from 1962 through 1988 in one form or another. By the time this Jeep was made, the two-wheel drive option had given way to the much more popular four-wheel drive. The paint scheme indicates Marlboro as a sponsor; the driver’s name is Mike Honcho and the co-driver is Gator McKlusky. Mike Honcho was the Playgirl-posing alias of the Cal McNaughton Jr character in Talledega Nights. Burt Reynolds played the Gator McKlusky character in White Lightening, a movie produced in 1973, but the movie car was a Ford Galaxie, not a Jeep. The truck is set up to tow behind your race trailer.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $7500.
Does not run.
“1960 Jeep FC, complete truck with bed and tailgate, currently not running but has the entire drivetrain in vehicle. I’m including a box of miscellaneous fc parts that I’ve collected.”
UPDATE: Still Available.
(11/13/2022) It is an ex-Shriner Jeepster. I believe the seller wants $6000, but he has listed multiple items on the listing.
https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/cto/7556812359.html
“1949 Jeepster. I owned this Willys Jeepster 10 years ago and sold it. I just bought it back but driving it 5 miles home the oil line broke. I got home and found the person had installed a copper line that broke at the flange. It still ran but rattled with RPMs. The guy I sold/bought it from had rebuilt the top end. But I think it now needs the crank at least examine if not turned. And new bearings. It still runs. Needs correct interior. It has top bows and interior panels. It was a Shriners car out of Oregon when I first got it. So interior is not original. I had planned to restore it but decided I would rather have a 60 to 72 C10 or Ford.”
UPDATE: More on Transportation Parts Company thanks to Barney Goodwin of Barney’s Jeep Parts.
Barney wrote, “I hope this helps for your question on Transportation Parts Co. I put together a little display. Those of us in business who have older inventories have Transportation boxes peeking out at us on the shelves. Shown below are several vintage items from our inventory including a whole tray of gauges.
The name SEAL TEST® is owned today by someone in Europe who produces quality parts supplying to dealers. An example is the shiny box to the right behind the tray.
In our library we have several of their catalogues and can be valuable quick references which are very accurate compared to some today. Inside the catalogue shown in the back of the display and which I’ve put in a ring binder for frequent use, I have copied the introduction which gives a good, brief history of the company in their own words.
The vintage belt buckle is a promo from Transportation.
======================
Original Post November 27, 2022: This photo was posted to Facebook by Quinton. These private-labeled “Seal Test” Dualmatic lever-style hubs were sold out of the Transportation Parts Co, a jeep parts reseller out of Huntington, New York.
I’m sure someone knows more about Transportation Parts (or even dealt with them in the past).
John let me know that there is another Hobby Lobby toy jeep. Made of metal, it is 10.5″ long, about 4″ wide and long, which is a pretty good size, and currently half price at $12.99. The grille is a little different, probably to avoid trademark issues. It is reminiscent of the Italian Campagnola: http://www.ewillys.com/tag/campagnola/
