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 $5000.

“I have a 1953 Jeep CJ3B with the original F-head motor, T-90 transmission, and Dana 18 T-case. Newly rebuilt solex carburetor, new plugs, and cleaned pcv valve and tubing. Motor runs great and starts easy. Transmission is smooth as is 4WD. Has full Koenig hard top and doors with all glass. The drivers side fender and area around the spare tire carrier are the only bad parts in the body. No rust I can find anywhere on the frame or body. Replaced all 4 shackles. New fuel tank, fuel lines, and brake lines. Replaced parking brake cable and works great. Needs front brake parts inside drum only. Back brakes are fine and would stop the Jeep before I removed the master cylinder which is still out but works. Front tires are brand new, needs 2 back tires but still hold air. Still have original oil bath filter and few misc other parts that I will load up with it.”
This looks ready for the mountains.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
I’m wondering if this is actually a CJ-3A.
“Better than a four wheeler, cheaper that a side by side. Needs a windshield and a battery. Comes with a new soft top. Great for hunting season or beer runs. It was my grandpas but I need the money. Pretty original, no real rust to speak of. Make an offer.”
UPDATE: Still Available. The body has been coated in herculiner or something similar.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $800.
Based on the metal plate in the middle of the tailgate, I’m going to guess this is a Ben Hur Trailer. The Sears David Bradley Trailer looks very similar. I don’t not believe the fenders are original. The earlycj5.net site has a great page on the Ben Hur / David Bradley models. Does anyone know if the Ban Hur letters on the rear of the trailer are original?
“I have a Military WW 2 Ben Hur 1/2 ton trailer for sale that needs to be restored.Roughly 4 x 6. Similar to the M416 army trailer, but larger. Great for the farm.
$800.00 firm.
This model has a factory tailgate.”
This looks in good condition, but those front spring hangers are LONG.
“Up for sale is a 1983 postal jeep DJ-5. Under the hood is a famous 2.5L GM “Iron Duke” engine. The entire exterior of the jeep has been bedlined and painted. 3-4″ lift. 31″ tires. Runs and drives great. Still have original mail tray and doors. It is an automatic transmission and 2wd. Text or call Jake at 4o4-61o-9851 or respond by email.”

This hasn’t run in a couple years.

This appears sprungover.
“Willy’s jeep – 30x95x15 BFG’s. 95% tread. Runs good, good for hunting, playing or for parts.”
http://portland.craigslist.org/yam/cto/4126973348.html
This runs well, but does not work. Not sure how to interpret that.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3000
I’m amazed there is any property like this left at Newport Beach. I suspect the engine is not stock.
“This jeep need somebody who has the time to restore it.”
Either the body is fiberglass or the steps have been modified.
“Selling a ’51 Willy’s CJ3. The Willy’s has been under cover in a barn (near Hunter Mtn, NY ) for many years and is a good jeep for restoration. If your interested please call me on my cell 201-820-8778. We’re asking $2000.00 obo for the complete CJ3a”

UPDATE: Was listed at $1500. **SOLD**
This is a project just waiting for a buyer.
“make a good offer i know these are rare its 90% complete does not run but engine is free so is tranny. two very small rust spots about the size of a half dollar.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $100
This appears in good condition. I’d consider getting it, but my front clip is stretched.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was Make Offer.
“THESE ARE IN VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO CRACKS WILLING TO SELL ONE AT A TIME OR THE PAIR FOR BETTER DEAL.”
UPDATE: **Status Unknown** Was $2000
Looks like a parts jeep.
“I have 48 CJ-2A for sale. Original motor, and drivetrain. The body was swapped for a military body at some point, a box was also welded to the rear for more room. This is a huge project, I always wanted to do it but have moved and need to sell. The VIN plate has long been lost so a bonded title would need to be obtained once the vehicle was brought back to running.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1600
(09/15/2013) Here’s a trailer that should interest someone.
“1942 Willys MBT 1/4 ton military trailer. Trailer needs restoration but has original tags, a unique rebuild plate, and is a pretty straight restorable project. More pictures are available Asking $1600”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
(09/15/2013) Engine doesn’t run and has other updates.
“1958 willys panel jeep 4×4 project. Does not run. 350 chevy 700r4 auto and I think a 208 transfer case. Dana 44 axles front and rear out of a scout 2. Rancho lift kit. Tinted windows. I have the original bumpers. Has title.
The bad:
The engine has not run in 2 years. Starter died and has a fuel leak between carb and the mechanical fuel pump. It hasn’t been driven in 9 years due to the ring and pinion in the rear axle breaking
there’s no front drive line and the front and rear axle having mismatched gears and there is a leak in the brake system somewhere.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $6000
(09/26/2013) This apears to be in good shape.
“1946 Willys Jeep cj-2a. Nice Jeep just sitting in my garage collecting dust. Painted Chevrolet medium green about 10 years ago. Seats out of a Toyota celica custom fitted at the same time.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $12,500
(09/07/2013) This great looking 2A is almost early enough to be a VEC.

This is an all original, numbers matching jeep. It was a barn find, purchased by my father in 2005, from Eastern Washington. He has completed a full frame-off restoration on this project. It is his third completed project (has restored a CJ3B & M38A1 as well) and he is looking to sell in order to free up space for another build. Jeep’s restoration was completed over 4 years.
