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 .

No obvious rot. The data plates look in good shape.

This sure looks good for the price. The entire description is detailed. I’ve included it under the pictures.
“1950 Willys CJ3A Flat fender Jeep
This Jeep is a great little runner that gets looks all around town. It’s reliable, starts right up and hasn’t failed to get me home again yet. It stops on a dime and steers straight and true. It rides on 7.50×16″ Firestone 8 ply NDT tires with less than 1K on them. The rims are the original size 16″ x4.5”. It will roll through the back roads all day long but it won’t take you down the highway mind you. It’s top speed is 55MPH with a tailwind so comfortable cruising speed is between 45-50 MPH.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $15,000

UPDATE: **SOLD**
“This a Willys Slat Grille MB is in need of a full restoration but is a great start and retains much of its originality. The OD paint is still under the other layers of paint.
The DOD is 2 Feb. 1942 and the USA number is 204748?, the body number is 20033 and it has the square deep well with the script Willys on the rear panel.
It has had government upgrades such as the rear panel reinforcement and trailer socket added. The engine needs to be rebuilt but is an MB replacement engine with a blank pad. It has a casting date of 12.30 and is probably a 1944 block.
Both front seats are the original early split pattern and the driver’s seat pan has been modified for the later wide mouth style fuel tank and filler neck.
It also comes with the original early style rear seat.”
UPDATE: Price dropped to $3900.

“1947 CJ3 SAND DRAG BODY ALL STEEL WITH ROLL CAGE. INCLUDES THE FIBERGLASS FRONT CLIP. IN GOOD CONDITION, READY FOR FABRICATION! $1900 OBO”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1750.
It’s rough.
“I have clear clear missouri title in my name in my hand. This willeys has the original drive tran less the engine and trans. It was replaced with a small block chevy and a 4 speed. The engine does not run and you can asume it is locked up and will need to be replaced. I gave up on this jeep many years ago, but today found the Title, so let’s see if anyone would like to get this back on the roads. All the sheet metel is there except the tailgate. The frame has been modified becouse of rust in the front section.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
(12/26/2012) The seller lists this a s a 1946, so it could be a collection of parts.
“This is a 1956 Willys CJ3B. I have just installed a new carb and fuel pump. It does run and idle smoothly, but the plug wires, cap, etc need to be addressed.
Drivetrain: The drivetrain is complete and the transmission, transfer case, and axles are operational. The clutch does need adjustment.
Body: The body has some rust but would be a great project to repair while you use it. Almost all of the sheetmetal that needs repair is flat sheet, so only basic skills would be necessary to repair. I have two different hard tops and one set of doors. I am unsure of the manufacturer.
Brakes: The master cylinder has water in it, so the brakes will need to be gone through
Suspension: The front springs are sagging.
If you want this shipped you will need to arrange your own carrier. I have a loading dock available if needed and the Willys can be driven onto a trailer. There are no titles for vehicles this old in Alabama. It will come with a bill of sale only. NO TITLE! The Bronco buckets are not included and the top of the fuel tank needs repair.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3400.
(01/28/2013) This appears to have a mix of parts.

(07/03/2012) It has some meaty bumpers.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was listed at $4500.
Mike has this early Jeep-A-Trench for sale. It is complete and works. It is Model 103 Serial number #785.”
I cooked dinner and enjoyed a movie with my wife tonight, so no updates on Thursday.
UPDATE: Ted sent me more pics
Ted sent me a picture of his friend Jim’s jeeps. If anyone knows of a Mahl front loader, Jim would like to buy one.
Here’s the short list on all its options:
Koenig twin stick PTO
Ramsey front winch
K+K side mount sicle bar
Three point hitch with Newgen Buzz Saw
extremely rare Canfield fold out wrecker assembly
Westinghouse PT1 compressor under the hood
Dual wheel adapters front and rear
Ge welder which came from a parts jeep that had paperwork showing the factory option welder cost more than the actual cost of jeep itself back in 1946.
Every thing works as it should with the exception of the welder ,which actually has been tested out and works great but is not hooked up because with all the work done to this jeep in the restoration Jim could not bring himself to cut out the tool box section to install welder.
Canfield wrecker has been converted to armstrong type ,to make room on mid PTO pulley for KandK bar.
About all we figure the Willys needs now to complete the swiss army effect is a Mahl front end loader if anyone has one for sale.
Ted’s CJ-5 was narrowly spared by Hurricane Sandy. Great pics!
Ted writes, “Hey Dave, here’s a few shots of a huge tree that came down during Sandy and almost got my new plow truck. I almost moved the CJ and my dump truck in back round before storm but never got to it. I got real lucky, the little CJ pushed her way through three and two feet deep snow storms later in the year!!!”
