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 $2900
(11/17/2012) This looks pretty good in the first pic, but not as good in the other two. The drivetrain has updates.
“1962 Willys Wagon with AMC 401 V8, Turbo 400, Dana 300 and Dana 44 Axles. More info in Montana CL ad. Runs good. Interesting trades considered. Thanks”
How about this great ad from the August 9, 1943, issue of Newsweek. I’ll be posting a different one from Newsweek tomorrow. This is pieced together from two different pages.
I spotted and purchased it on eBay today. There were three other issues, but I got outbid with a few seconds to go on the rest.
These doors came with Dexter’s Esslingen remanufactured jeep. None of the people at G503 knew anything about them. He believes it is part of a complete winter top. He was wondering if anyone knew when they were make, whether they were civilian or military, or US or European and Approx year. Really, if anyone knows anything about them it would be helpful.
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
“Up for auction is a 1948 Willy’s Jeepster. This vehicle has been 99% restored and is in great condition. This car has the original four-cylinder, Flat head, 62 horsepower, Go-Devil engine that has been removed and fully rebuilt with only 5500 miles on the rebuild. It has a three speed manual transmission and it comes with overdrive as well that just needs to be hooked up. Many extra parts are included with the car. The interior has been done with new upholstery and carpet, and the paint is fresh with only a few minor issues below the spare tire cover. The steering wheel was replaced by the previous owner but steering wheels are available for this car through Kaiser-Willys and other online Jeep websites. New turn signals and more that is too much to list. The body is straight, and all the trim is available and will be sent with your purchase – it just needs to be installed. Spare tire cover comes with the car and has been painted to match the body color. As seen in the pictures one weekend would completely finish this car. It’s a great around town car that runs smooth and starts right up. The convertible top is in great condition and the windows are all there. The car has been completely gone through and has had a recent tune-up and brakes, steering, clutch and axles worked on. This car was bought to finish restoring quickly but I don’t have the time to drive it much less finish the minor restoration to bring it to completion. It has been kept in a warehouse, not in the weather and is in good condition.”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $4000.
Only one pic, but the appears like a solid vehicle. The price looks good. It is 2wd.
“1953 Willy’s-Overland Station Wagon (The Original SUV)
Runs and drives great
Original engine and transmission have been replaced with that of a 1967 Ford Mustang 200ci inline 6 cylinder and 3 on the floor gearbox — great for reliability but unfortunately they removed the transfer case in the process.
Leather Captions chairs”
This looks good.
“1946 willys cj2a frame off restoration, 500 miles on rebuilt engine. Axles, transmission, and transfer case rebuilt. All stock except tires and wheels. Call (828) 421-4646”
http://atlanta.craigslist.org/atl/cto/3642112952.html

This jeep looks in good condition.
“1947 willys, really good condition. Kept inside when not used. Has a new starter, carb, fuel pump. Comes with set of spare tires and the actual spare, repair Manuel’s, 6 volt starter and only about 10,000 miles. Must see. 5,800 obo”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay
It hasn’t been started in two years, but is supposed to run.
“This jeep has been in my family for at least 1/2 of its life as well as been garaged during this time. I’ve had it for @ 10 years and my Mom and step-dad had it at their lake house in Nebraska (always garaged, was used to put the boat & jet ski’s into the shore stations), we did joy-ride in the jeep around the lake property but it is not licensed or street legal as it has not been modified. Prior to my Mom & step-dad getting it from my step-dad’s uncle, I am not aware of how long my step-dad’s uncle (now deceased) had the jeep or if he was the original owner. The title only indicates the names of my step-dad’s uncle, my step-dad and now my name.
The tag under the hood on the body indicates the following:
Willy’s Body
CJ-2A 71042
Willys Overland Motors, Inc.
Loledo, OH USA
Kindly note that in the pics I removed the driver’s side seat and gas tank to show the condition of the body as apparently that is where rust through would take place in these jeeps. The jeep does run, however, has not been started for @ 2+ years. The front bumper also has the same VIN number as the body.”
UPDATE: **SOLD* Was $400
This looks like a great price. I’d like to know who made that body. It has an extra wide lip like the later bobcats, but the step cuts in like a more standard body.
“Fiberglass CJ2A complete Jeep body have extra front fender no hood”
UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.
The front frame rails look a little odd. I’m guessing they weren’t repaired correctly.
“For sale my super straight 1942 Ford Willys GPW that comes straight from a private museum. The Jeep was restored about 25 years ago, so is clean and tidy and boasts the original wispher quiet matching numbers running gear, so you cannot fail but to be impressed! So in the spirit of a real auction she is for sale at NO RESERVE! But because quality always makes good money, she will not go cheap! BID NOW and BID OFTEN! Its your only chance!”
This runs.
“restorable army jeep gpw seroius inquires only kaiser motor -runs- has black out front end windshield etc.”
http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/cto/3642441195.html
UPDATE: LIkely sold. Was listed at $1250.
This doesn’t run, but that’s because the seller doens’t have the key. This deserves a close look.
“I have a 1958 Willys Jeep CJ5 Project not currently running, Complete, Stock powertrain 4cyl 3spd, Not sure what all it needs to get running I do not have a key to ignition so key would be a good start. Previous owner put new timing set on engine so timing might need to be set and radiator and gas tank are removed but come with Jeep.”
Too bad the back was chopped off.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $3500.
(09/07/2012) This may be a pretty stock jeep, but them boxes across the front sure don’t help.
“I have an original 1947 Jeep Willys CJ-2A for sale. It has been used as a hunting truck for its entire life. It has green paint, power take off (pto) winch, tow bar, mud terrain tires with a lot of tread left, heavy duty snow chains for the tires, and a heater for those cold mornings in the field. The only reason I am selling it, is it belongs to my great uncle and he doesn’t use it anymore because of his age. He has a stack of receipts and paper work for every repair/work done to it. This rig is completely original, right down to the 6v wiring.”
Bob spotted this running truck. Because of the wheels, at first I thought this had a S-10 swap, but it doesn’t.
“selling a cool old truck. lots of petina. 57 willys with a good running chevy 283 bolted to the original trans and 4×4 transfeer case. starts, runs and drives good. but has no brakes. one or two other small things… would be a good 4×4 trail truck. this truck is 55 years old, so yes there is rust here and there, the frame is solid. it is a cool little hot rod. or even make it a rat rod. three 3 0- two 8 o- 092six.”

“For Sale

This doesn’t run.
“I have a 1952 Willys M38 that has the rare Arctic Hard Top. This Jeep may have even been to Korea as far as I know. It is mostly original, seats have been replaced with some real ugly newer seat and it has had some work over the years. Original motor and drive train from what I can tell. Not sure if it is still 24V or has been converted to 12V. It does not run. Needs restored or whatever you have in mind. I also have an extra hood and a windshield I acquired that goes with the M38.
I am not an expert on jeeps so if you need to know details then you will just have to come check it out.
It has a Colorado Title. I can get you a clear Kansas Title for an extra $100 bucks.
please reply to ad by email with your NAME, LOCATION, PHONE NUMBER and actual email address and I will call you if you are interested in my Willys. If you do not include this information I will not reply to anonymous emails.”
