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 customized Jeepster has a different look to it.

“Completely customized 1950 Willy’s Jeepster. Chevy 350 with throttle body fuel injection. 5 speed manual transmission. Removable top.”
Listed as a 1950, the serial number plate puts this as a 1952.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/552855470013159
“Project vehicle, does not run $1500 OBO Had it as a project but don’t have to time or money to work on it No title only bill of sale Unsure of exact age, previous owners say it is a 1950”
This might have an APU hood, but hard to tell for sure. Only the one pic provided.

“V8 motor.brand new tires never driven on. New flare fins over tires.brakes all done..seat cushions to put on runs good..paddle tires also”
Listed as a 1960, this has the fenders and grille of a 1952 or early 1953. It also appears to have a USMC rear bumper. There appears to be parts value here at the very least.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/821717025710782
“~1960’s Military Jeep. M38A1. Good drive train. 6 cylinder engine – probably froze. No time- too many projects. No title- Bill of sale only. Selling for my friend. Boy if I had the know how to restore this bad boy I’d be all over it! $1100 obo”
Seller has listed this as a CJ36. This has a replacement body kit.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/708174490145000/
“Dana 44s in the back Dana Dana 27 in the front. Buick. Dauntless engine less than 20,000 miles. V-6 CJ36”
While this looks solid, it does not have the correct fenders or hinged grille that a 1952 ought to have.

“nice original shape runs and drives well”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $25,450.
(05/21/2021) It looks like lots of time and money was put into this.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/686962996046860
“Custom built 48 willys, dana 40 and 60 running gear with a fuel injected 4.3 chevy v6 and a turbo 400 trans with the jeep OG transfer case. Has OG jeep winch. has 4 blue tooth speakes for music. All lit up ready for trails. Has 5 point harnesses as well. And comes with blue ox tow bar”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Has a Koenig hardtop. Unclear how much value is here.
“Does not run, driveline went out several years ago and has been parked since then. Clean title. If this listing is up it is still available, I will remove it when sold.”
Mike shared this rare right-hand-drive wagon. Maybe it is an ex-USPS wagon?
https://willysforsale.com/ads/1958-willys-wagon-rhd/
“1958 Willys Wagon, Rare right hand drive. 6-226 runs. Have rear driver’s side repair panel.”
This is the first I’ve seen of these Kaiser Willys Sales Promotor bulletins, though it is unclear how many bulletins are provided. The ebay ad includes pics of the cover, a foreword, and issues number 1 and number 3. I’ve added additional ones found on the web at the bottom. I don’t think there is a whole lot of jeep info (seems more car oriented), but still interesting.
Apparently, these KW Sales promoters is a carry over from Kaiser Frazier, which also had a similar program. A CD of the KF promoters can be found here: http://circlekf.com/KFNut/forsale/sp.html

Tom spotted this low-mileage CJ-5 located pretty close to Roger Martin. Does the transmission tunnel look customized on this?
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/661059762193803
“1969 Jeep CJ5 with 8000 original miles. Was used as farm implement. No issues. I do have the title”
This runs and drives. It should go quickly.
https://portland.craigslist.org/clk/cto/7562799364.html
“Running driving 1950 have it licensed it’s a fun driver $3600 It does have steel top good windows and doors”
It may not win a beauty contest (neither can I), but this wagon, dubbed the Chukar Chaser, is purpose built: Hunting Chukars.
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1156725718376458
“Runs like a rabbit and has great bones. New brake system, clutch system,drive train and bearings. $2500 worth its ready to roll. I drive daily.Everything works, all lights, amp,Oil pressure and water temperature gauges. Has great pressure and runs cool. Has a 1964 AMC 196 Six Cylinder. When installed they put in a Great Heater. Has fold down bumber to carry trail bike or 4 guys hanging on to grab bar on roof. Front bumber set up for easy towing also. Has new tires. Is a great hunting rig but new bride hates it. So would consider a trade for a enclosed quad with heat.”
TJ shared this Commando. It looks solid.
https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/1969-jeep-jeepster/5376268312495071
“1969 jeepster been stored in a shop 40+ years, no rust holes, it has plastic trim inside, sliders, roof rack, power brakes, automatic, engine still turns over, will be sold as is, for you to get it back on the road, battery, new gas, bleed brakes, so on,”
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.
https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/jeep/jeepster/2639650.html
“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.
https://omaha.craigslist.org/clt/d/bancroft-1947-willys-jeep/7560184823.html
“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.
