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 .
Nice tailgate, but the price seems a bit on the high side to me.
“This is a original OEM jeep FC series tailgate for the pickup. It has never been installed and is a new surplus factory part.”

“1947 CJ2A Willys Jeep
ORIGINAL tub, drivetrain, frame.
Has fiberglass front fenders, and has some bondo in tub, taillights and running lights are not correct. No Data Plates (frame or firewall).
This Willys has the optional Running Boards/Steps and the PTO with Rear bumper hitch platform.
Also comes with newer Besttop Top and Doors. New Battery and cables, New Oil lines to filter, Fresh Oil Change. Also comes with a bumper tow hitch for bringing along to parades or car shows (drawbar).
This is a rivet – bumper CJ, built 1947-50 following WW2. It is a pretty original survivor. Not a show truck, but it stops, runs & drives well and can easily be fully restored or just maintained as is for another 66 years! Currently registered and driven regularly. Inspection welcome from serious parties, but no tire kickers! Not giving it away, call for info.”
The looks like a good price.
“A set of 5 turbine wheels and tires that came off of my Jeep Scrambler. Bolt pattern 5×5.5. Tires are mismatched and only good for rollers, not road use. 4 wheels are the same and one(the spare) is slightly different. Should fit Jeep CJ5, CJ6, CJ7 and CJ8.”

There appears to be value here.
“1947 CJ2A frame with rear axle and suspension. 1947 body, fenders, tailgate, grille with 1952 (1-piece glass) windshield frame. Floor replaced by previous owner. Some body filler from previous repairs, some filler just added.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1350.
(02/28/2013) This looks like a good price. It runs.
“This would make a good hunting or farm jeep. It has the flathead 4 cylinder and standard transmission. The motor and trans are both good and four wheel drive works just fine. The block has been welded on but does not leak. I have a starter that I just had rebuilt that needs put back on it. It may need a carb kit to run real good but I had it running before we took the starter off. It’s kind of just an old hunting type buggy. The seats in it are good and the inside is in reasonable shape. It does need some work on the floor pans but it’s nothing that makes it not usable. I check email daily so just reply if you have interest. I can only provide a bill of sale but it has the Willy’s ID tag on it if you want to go to the trouble of registering it. I’d also entertain using it as partial trade towards a ’09 or newer Honda Rancher, Foreman, or Rincon 4X4 with reasonable hours.”
Notice the track and the guide below the front of the jeep’s bumper. This photo came from Mission4Today.com
“Several students at Page Field in Fort Myers (ca 1945) with a jeep, the mechanical mule of the army that carried a target around on a circular cement track. The jeep itself was protected by a large embankment in the background. The students are over the right side of the embankment and shoot at a target.”
UPDATE II (09/11/2013): Brian and Bruce each sent a photo. See below pink surrey photos.
UPDATE (09/10/2013): Brian shared these pics of a Surrey with a Kelly hardtop. He bought the hardtop, but not the jeep.See Brian’s pic and info underneath the pink surrey hardtop photos.
Unfortunately, there’s no description. Only the date of July 1965.

(09/11/2013) Brian sent this photo of the door after it was sand blasted.
(09/11/2013) Bruce forwarded this photo of the surrey without the top.
(09/10/2013) Brian’s photos of a 1961 DJ-3A Surrey:
Brian writes, “It’s not the same Jeep. My top has never had an i.d. tag on it which i always thought was odd. When i bought the top, the Jeep was only in Florida for a year or two at the time. Before that it was in Virginia where it had spent most of it’s life, the same State that the top was built in. The story was something like: a lady bought the Surrey new in ’61 and then (i think) it was sold to a serviceman around the time of Vietnam. He put the Jeep in storage and it sat there for well over 30 years, hence why it was in such good shape. I can’t remember who had the top put on it.
I found two more pics that show a bit of the pink paint, in the rear cargo area some is showing on the ribs and the front floor shot shows a line of pink around the body seam. I had underhood pics that showed alot of pink paint that the cheaper paint didn’t adhere too well to but i can’t find them.“

It runs and drives.
“59 Willys in overall great shape for the year. I got it in 2006 from a guy that last ran it in 1972. It sat in his garage for 33 years. I replaced the following parts with quality brands such as Omix-ADA , Wagner, timken, federal mogul, four wheel parts hardware, quadratech, ect.
New fuel tank, fuel lines, pump, carb, master brake cylinder, 4 wheel brake cylinders, shoes, spring kits, brake lines, drums, seals in front and rear diffs, tapered bearings on ball joints, rebuilt engine, clutch and pressure plate, high volume oil pump, water pump, points, plugs, coil. Ive Gone through everything mechanically. Just needs some bodywork, I havent done any body work, it was fiberglassed in the front floor pan area back in 70’s spare tire mount area on passenger side rear quarter panel. Body isnt that bad. I have used the jeep since 2007 putting on maybe 500-1000 miles per year. Could use rear springs, as there stock and have flattened out a little. Frame is excellent and painted black from years ago. Ive got thousands into the jeep, your getting a lot of jeep for $2500”

Given the extra body and engine, this ex-Navy CJ-3A might be worth a look.
“Bought this jeep to build up but I have too many projects for this winter. Its a 1950 Military/Navy issued jeep. It has seen better days and has been layered in some spots with thin aluminum. Motor does not turn over but I have a good running motor and transmission/transfer case that is included. Also included is another complete 1949 Willys CJ3A body that can be put on or used for body parts. The Willys is very complete but needs a lot of love. Great father & son or daughter project! No Trades I need cash to finish other projects I have. No title for the navy jeep they did not title them when they were decommissioned.”
