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 .
Goose spotted this nice looking CJ-5 with some upgrades.

“Frame off restored 3 years ago.
Has been used very little.
Polyurethane body and bushing suspension kit.
Pro -Comp suspension lift.
Pro -Comp shocks and stabilizer
Quick disconnect stabilizer
5 Brand new 35” Super Swampers with real Bead Lock wheels.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $55,000
I thought this looked like a good price, until I realize there were 3 zeros behind the ’55’. The bumper appears incorrect. The seller notes it has been used in films.
“This is a 1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep. Serial #’s on frame reflect the manufacturing date as well as the title. It is in excellent condition and Runs exceptionally. The seats are torn, but can be replaced with after market parts. It has a willy’s 4 cylinder engine that purrs like a kitten. It has the original 3 speed manual transmission and the transfer case (3 granny low gears) works well also. It even has the front wheel engage/disengage shifter. All guages, anti-aircraft lights, gun racks, first aid kit, spare tire, etc, are all still installed and work. The only thing not original are the new 11″ brakes. I swapped the 9″ for the 11″ because this is something that I wanted to drive around town, and the smaller/old style brakes wouldn’t cut it. I still have the original brakes to give to you if you ever want it perfectly restored. This is a one of a kind Vehicle. It has been used in many films also, so there is financial gain if you choose to put it out for time period movies and tv. Email me for questions.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $5500.
This looks good from the front, but the bed has been removed.
“1954 willy’s overland originall 60, 000 miles owned over 14years garaged its iife bougt from original owner cape cod mass still has 6 volt system bed was taken out tobe restored no bed included I do have original nys tranferable registration in my name call”

It’s a cute card.

This has dual tanks. Needs a fuel pump, but it looks like a good price.
“1947? -early 50s Willy CJ3. Buick V6. Runs fine but needs fuel pump. Call or text at 53zero 218 zerozero71. First three grand takes it.”

UPDATE: Still Available.
“Have a few things to sell and would like to let go as a package.
First is the blue 47 Willys. Runs well, 4 wheel drive works, breaks work, re-upholstered front seat s on original frames, later model rear seat. Currently have Jeepster rims on it with good tread but have original rims with 6.50-16 tires. Body had bondo on it and there is fatigue in other places. Enough to work with if you want.
Next is a green 47 Willys that runs and 4 wheel drive works. Engine is worn but doesn’t smoke, breaks work as I had replaced all line and cylinders over the years. Original seat frames front and rear.
Have a spare engine block minus intake/exhaust manifold and other miscellaneous parts.
Last is an Artic Top that needs glass and rubber and door latches. These were used by the military in the Artic as it is Aluminum with foam rubber inside for insulation.
All a good deal for someone interested in working with them.”

UPDATE: Marc pointed out that the serial number of 451 GB1 28496 would make this a CJ-3A. More about CJ-3A serial numbers.
It doesn’t run and has no title. The bracket on the fender is unusual.
“This vintage 1948 Willys jeep is a GREAT buy. It does run. My father and I bought it to fix it up and make it a project but we have made different plans and are now wanting to sell it. Does not have a title because it has never been registered. I will provide documentation on how to obtain a title. Does need work on the engine and know very little of the specifics of the vehicle.Has only ever been drove on trails for hunting. Just needs to be restored. Come by and see how you like it! Great project to finish up this spring! TEXT For QUICKEST RESPONSE 801-620-0256”

It appears in good shape.
“Runs great! It is a Ford GPW Original 1943 Jeep, and comes with “F” on bolts and parts. Original restored frame, original engine runs perfectly, 6V electrical system, original restored seats. matching frame and engine serial numbers. Newer canvas top and seat cushions. One of the windows still has the “Ford” stamp! Five combat wheels. Axe, shovel and Jerry can included. Restoration by a Museum Professional. ALL gauges are working. Recently exchanged the original 6V starter with the more reliable modern starter, avoiding starter issues and battery bleed. But original starter provided with sale. A parade vehicle which generates lots of smiles!
Painted with markings of 2e DB, 4 RBFM (Régiment Blindé des Fusiliers Marins), “La Galante” which first liberated Paris on August 25, 1944″

This is an odd ad. What’s left of the jeep is in Australia.
“Army Jeep stripped and gutted for a production of the Sapphires staged by The Belvoir Theatre Company Sydney.
The wheels have been welded so they dont turn. It has no engine, no real mechanical parts at all, it is basically a shell. Ideal for a long, long term restoration project or a show piece.
Buyer must pick up. Keep in mind you will need a truck and appropriate lifting equipment, as the wheels do not turn.”

(12/29/2013) This no glovebox slat grille has potential.
“This Jeep is being sold as a parts jeep or a solid restoration candidate.
It is a early Willys Slat Grill jeep.
Original data plates
Serial Number 103390 on data plate
Date of is 12-11-41
Frame tag is painted over but I suggest it matches the data plate
Engine number is MB113681
I hate to see this parted out because it would make an EXCELLENT frame off restoration project.
The frame is solid, the fenders and hood are good also.
The “Willys Script “tub needs new sheet metal in many areas but is actually very straight. Previous owner cut out most of all the bad areas already.
The windshield is good but is a victim over alot of overspray, which probably saved it.
T 84 Transmission is also early type, filler on pass side. I can not verify if it is ford or willys.
Comes with four combat rims
Located in Santa Rosa, Calif
Serious bidders please consider coming to see it in person.
Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements.
Sold as is where is.”

Doug found this February 1946 Map of Tokyo at a military show last weekend. He thought the map looked interesting, but the illustrated jeep on the cover really sold it.
